Сначала т.н. президент пишет о новом контракте на 115 миль стены.



Потом, ACLU подает в суд, чтобы узнать, что за контракт и что за стена.

В результате суд выясняет, что никакого контракта нет.

То есть, очевидно, что со стеной обманывают. Непонятно, то ли т.н. президента обманывают, когда дают подписывать несуществующие контракты, то ли он сознательно обманывает свою трамповату, чтобы поддержать боевой дух среди "the stupidest voters" (c).

The truth is they do cling to their guns. The gun has become a part of their bodies, just like in a Harry Harrison science fiction novel where a deadly weapon is an extension of the arm controlled directly by the brain. It's a part of their minds. In a world where you automatically take your loaded pistol to a moral support meetup for men, a man without a gun is a man without a dick.

I'm not passing a judgement here. Threatening to take away his smartphone would have the same effect on a hipster as a hint of prohibiting a semiautomatic rifle to a man whose mind fused with a deadly weapon.

The 12% fall in aluminum prices happened on the world markets. Meanwhile, because of the tariffs, prices in the US grew by 26%. As a direct result of boneheaded protectionism, American companies and consumers are paying more for the same commodity and the idiots (79% of Trump voters) are cheering.
