Trump has learned nothing, floats wacko bird pie-in-the-sky elimination of income tax
The federal government now needs about $6 trillion in revenue annually for the budget, social security, and medicare.
Imports of goods and services last year were valued at $3.83 trillion. You'd have to tariff all that at 160% or so to come up with $6 trillion. When pigs fly.
Trump promised big cuts to spending and to the size of the government workforce in 2016. Never happened.
This won't either.
That didn't take long: White House floats commutation of Hunter Biden sentence after saying it wouldn't pardon him or commute it
The White House isn’t ruling out a potential commutation for Hunter Biden after his conviction
The position from the White House is a shift from what it said in September, when Jean-Pierre was asked whether the president would “pardon or commute his son if he’s convicted.” The press secretary responded at the time that “I’ve answered this question before. It was asked of me not too long ago, a couple of weeks ago. And I was very clear, and I said no.”

That low spot in between there is Trump
No one is above the law except for some of us, like Hallie Biden and the US Secret Service: Yesterday Hunter Biden was convicted of gun crimes, Joe Biden minutes later says families must be held accountable
Apparently Hallie Biden won't be charged in any of this.
Nor the US Secret Service, which swooped in to try and get Hunter's falsified background check paperwork for the gun purchase and make Hunter's little problem go away:
Secret Service agents approached the owner of the store where Hunter bought the gun and asked to take the paperwork involving the sale, according to two people, one of whom has firsthand knowledge of the episode and the other was briefed by a Secret Service agent after the fact.
The gun store owner refused to supply the paperwork, suspecting that the Secret Service officers wanted to hide Hunter’s ownership of the missing gun in case it were to be involved in a crime, the two people said. The owner, Ron Palmieri, later turned over the papers to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, which oversees federal gun laws.
Read the whole thing from Politico, March 25, 2021, here.
The Secret Service made the White House cocaine problem go away just last summer.

Video long suppressed by Democrats shows Nancy Pelosi admitting on January 6th that responsibility for Capitol security was hers
Here.
“We have responsibility, Terri. We did not have any accountability for what was going on there. And we should have. This is ridiculous. You’re going to ask me in the middle of the thing when they’ve already breached…that, should we call the Capitol Police? I mean the National Guard? Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with?…They clearly didn’t know, and I take responsibility for not having them just prepared for more.”
After Marine Le Pen trounces Macron in EU Parliament elections, the French Republican leader Ciotti backs alliance with Le Pen
"I think the country has never been so right-wing," Ciotti said. "It expects the right, it expects right-wing action. We can no longer rely on impotence, on communication, on a form of immobilism that has led us to where we are now."
More.
Yeah, because they'll lose Alberta when it joins The Great American Redoubt in Idaho lol
The story never mentions that most Canadians hate Trudeau, same as Trump does.
Why Canada Is Worried About a US Civil War...
Donald Trump’s policies and personal behavior toward Canada — including trashing Trudeau after a previous G7 meeting in Quebec — have left a painful mark.
