@chris That explains why the reason kept changing (fentanyl! immigrants! dairy! unfair!). There is no reason

@stephanie He just mentioned how before 1913 the US "was a tariff country” and he rambled a bit about income taxes coming after that. Is he looking at eliminating corporate income taxes?

On PANAMA CANAL: “We're gonna take it back”

(He couldn't even remember the name of the Panama President... said the Sec State will talk to "the gentleman in charge”)

on Canada oil:
We're going to bring it down to 10% on Oil to start…

This is just a stream of consciousness. Ridiculous. I won't continue the live tweet. We need to see what the written order says today or tomorrow.

@johnefrancis Absolutely not! China is a one party authoritarian state at best, a totalitarian dictatorship at worst.
