Ken Walker :caflag:<p>Trump says he will impose tariffs on Russia if they don't come to the table about <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ukraine</span></a>. Will putting a further <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/trumptax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumptax</span></a> on Americans will make Putin quake at the prospect of fewer Americans buying Russian products? This is window dressing to placate Americans who believe his lies about who pays his tariffs without offending his base with real pressure on Putin. Someone said you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Not so for Trump and Americans.</p>
