President Donald Trump told Americans to buy fewer pencils to alleviate the bad situation millions now find themselves in under his economic policies during a speech in Pennsylvania on Tuesday night.

“You can give up certain products. You can give up pencils. That’s under the China policy, you know every child can get 37 pencils—they only need one or two, you know they don’t need that many,” Trump said, adding, “You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter, two or three is nice, but you don’t need 37 dolls.”

#Trump admin says #SignLanguage services 'intrude' on Trump's ability to control his #image

The Trump admin is arguing that requiring real-time #ASL interpretation of events like White House press briefings “would severely intrude on the President’s prerogative to control the image he presents to the public,” part of a lawsuit seeking to require the White House to provide the services.

NEW: A new congressional investigation prompted by ProPublica reporting has found that, contrary to the Trump administration’s claims, immigration agents have frequently detained and mistreated U.S. citizens.

Immigration Agents Have Often Grabbed and Mistreated Citizens, Congressional Investigators Find

Prompted by ProPublica’s reporting, an investigation by Senate Democrats documented the experiences of nearly two dozen citizens wrongly detained by immigration agents, contradicting the Trump administration’s claims that it only detains immigrants.

"It comes as no surprise to learn that it will be U.S. strategy to support so-called 'patriotic European parties,' for which we should read the overtly racist Nazi-worshipping Alternative For Germany political party that Vice President Vance praised so effusively in February that he practically drooled down his shirt at the Munich Security Conference."

"Now he has admitted the truth. His unhappiness with NATO is racist. For Trump and adherents to his cause, European nations have become insufficiently white. Trump’s national security strategy supports 'unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history.' That would be the kind of lily-white history he wants taught in American schools and universities."

"Trump has now formulated a new racism expressed in [the National Security Strategy] document as 'civilizational.' He states outright that Europe and our NATO allies are facing 'civilizational erasure' by allowing immigration from other countries that go unnamed but are clearly not 'European.' This is formulating the Great Replacement Theory as U.S. national policy."

Since the #Trump administration declared #Europe the new enemy of the #USA, we should answer in kind.
Since the only language Trump speaks is #Capitalism, let's speak capitalism to him. Consumers are the only power in a capitalistic system. Excluding the USA from the conversation will speak volumes.

I for my part buy anything BUT US-Brands. Indefinitely.
