Trump administration declares brass instruments a national security threat

the tariffs that, again, the courts already ruled were unconstitutional. Trump doesn't have the authority to levy taxes/tariffs. And yet, he keeps ordering tariffs around for bullshit national security reasons.

A national security threat created by Republicans decades ago by allowing encouraging the export of American jobs to foreign countries in order for corporations to take the lazy path towards improving profits via slave labor freely available in other countries.

The entire GOP establishment and their corporate benefactors sold out our futures for a quick and easy profit. They should be held criminally responsible for destroying this country for their own gain.

There's a particular trumpet sound that describes this situation perfectly

Here comes the brass tax.

The move is part of the Trump administration’s broader tariff strategy, which it says will encourage people to buy American-made goods and attract investment from foreign companies.

So...isn't this just an admission that it really has nothing to do with national security?

Well Trump wouldn't need to do that if those crazy terrorist libtards would stop chasing him with them.

This is all nonsense.

On the plus side, RFK Jr said eating aluminium foil is perfectly healthy. He even offered to teach some abdominal exercises that can help roll the foil around the roadkill in your gut, to help keep it unfresh between digestion cycles, which are totally a thing, too.

Or at this point, old man yells at anything to distract you from the epstein files.

You can not make this up. The next person stating that this or that plot line or twist does not make sense needs to stop for a moment, take a deep breath and have a sip of water.

Does Trump have any brass instrument investments? This feels like an episode of The Goon Show... (In "Lurgi Strikes Britain", the fictional Lurgi/Lurgy illness is used to boost sales of brass band instruments, which supposedly protect against the disease.)
