Does President Trump Have Any Fear of Consequences?
He certainly isn’t operating as though he has any at all.
Yeah, we’ve reached the point where things are already getting terrifying. Every day, multiple times a day it seems, we’re hearing new stories and seeing new examples of the way this Trump administration is operating, and the consequences of its actions. They’ve got their opportunity, and they’ve wasted absolutely no time in taking full advantage.

Promit Mukherjee with Reuters writes:
“Canada will retaliate against President Donald Trump’snew tariffs with 25% levies on a raft of U.S. imports, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Saturday, warning Americans that Trump’s actions would have real consequences for them.
As relations between the long-time allies who share the world’s longest land border reach a new low, Trudeau told a news conference he was slapping tariffs on C$155 billion ($107 billion) of U.S. goods. Those on C$30 billion will take effect on Tuesday, the same day as Trump’s tariffs, and duties on the remaining C$125 billion in 21 days, he said…”
