Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on “all or any goods” exported to the US from 1 February

In a post on Truth Social, the US president says these will remain in place until “such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland”

    He is, but the Epstein files is the one thing his base has actually reacted to with possibly disgust. They are fine with literally everything else he does.

    So this is a case of him being a power hungry fuck that also works well to distract from the one thing that might cause consequences. It can be two things.

      Jealousy. Not disgust.

      If there’s one thing his base are good at it is ignoring the truth. I seriously doubt they would believe the content of the Epstein files to be true, even if Donald Trump directly said they were.
