This was when Trump was imposing steel tariffs, and the first China tariffs.

They followed a Duty to Warn principle over the Goldwater Rule (which didn’t technically apply in the first place). Once again, corporate media failed us.

9. Seems like that was scoop worthy...why not run it

Seriously, that the kind of scoop that makes a career.

Almost feels like the New York times was in the habit of catch and kill like the Enquirer.

Seems like a huge campaign contribution in kind at the time.

15. Trump is the most dangerous person in world history IMO

More dangerous than even Hitler because Trump has nukes and Hitler didn't.

Trump is a true sociopath. If he could get away with it, he'd kill 100,000 children every morning if doing so made his coffee taste 1% better. He truly believes he is worth more than the other 6.8 Billion people on the planet combined.

He's truly insane and the most dangerous time for our country is coming fast, the time when his hold on power is under threat. There is nothing he won't do to stay in power and avoid the consequences of his many crimes. Nothing! If he was facing removal and prison and someone came to him with a plan to nuke major blue cities and then declare a state of emergency and martial law, he would not hesitate.
