Hi! Welcome to the March 7th, 2025 New Newsletter!
Our Main Story
After the showdown in the Oval Office where they discussed fashion more than world issues / impending war / who is a real dictator, and with the hella factchecked State of the Union speech — the world started waking up like tulips in the spring. And they are not playing nice in our faces any more.
Canada, Mexico, AND China are already imposing tariffs and boycotting our wares. The EU and Europe are now moving on past us on the world’s stage, and King Charles even stopped making his youngest son’s life horrible, to be a King to his Commonwealth — and made folks think that maybe just maybe Trump really can’t read, like Pete Davidson said. This man is bankrupting our country like it’s an Atlantic City casino — and it stinks like one too.
