#Trump repeatedly called #Canadians #nasty in a speech in Las Vegas on Wednesday after claiming that #Canada & other countries had long been unfairly using #tariffs against the #US.
“Canada’s nasty. They are. They’re nasty,” Trump said. “I love the people, but they’re nasty. Nasty leadership.”

Israel is just killing people who go to get aid from the official Israeli aid operation.
On top of the aid massacres Israel has increased bombings of buildings, tents and notably farming equipment, forcing more Palestinians to consider trying to get aid from the Israelis.

Call it the 911 presidency.
Despite insisting that the #US is rebounding from calamity under his watch, #Trump is harnessing #EmergencyPowers unlike any of his predecessors.
Whether it’s leveling punishing #tariffs, deploying #troops to the #border or sidelining #EnvironmentalRegulations, Trump has relied on rules & laws intended only for use in extraordinary circumstances like #war & #invasion.
