Is it true that he didn't place tariffs on Russia?

u/Songshiquan0411 2d ago

Yes. His administration officials have tried the line of "we already sanction them, we don't really do any trade with Russia already". Okay I didn't know we did that much trade with Vanuatu but you still hit them with tariffs.

They'll eliminate FICA taxes on OT right away, because they want to kill Social Security and Medicare, and that would reduce the amount of earnings credited toward those benefits.
