How much will it cost to tear it down and rebuild it the way it was?

This is a sad comment on how the world sees the US right now.

Trump cut funding for the Gateway Tunnel right before the New Jersey governor's race, which the GOP ending up losing, and now, with a senate race coming up in Michigan, he's blocking the opening of a bridge between Detroit and Ontario. It's like he's trying to sabotage Republican chances of winning.

If we are deporting millions of people, more jobs will go unfilled, which means less competition for jobs, which should make the unemployment rate go down.

Noise reduction AirPods are pretty amazing technology. I’m in a crowded food court at JFK Airport. I put them on and 95 percent of the ambient sound drops out.

Factory construction was down 0.9% in October, 9.7% year-over-year, and that's even before adjusting for Trump inflation www.census.gov/construction... Guess the data didn't hear about the $18 trillion in foreign investment Trump is bringing into the country.

The reason the “paid protestor” accusation is so popular is that these are people who cannot imagine doing something because it’s right, to stand up for a principle, talking to other people like that.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

It’s mind numbingly stupid at a time of crisis to be obsessing about four letter words as if we’re all Aunt Pittypats.

They've been threatening Canada in one way or another for months. It hasn't worked. They don't seem to understand that other countries have national pride just like we do and heads of state can't be seen to give in to bullies.

Trump has a 42 percent approval rating. Don't know why he feels compelled to add "as many Americans are." Or maybe I do know.

Trump's dislike of anything green is doing real damage to the auto industry.

Frey: "Florida & Texas & Utah are Republican states. The reason that Minnesota & Minneapolis are being targeted is because you've got a Democratic governor, a Democratic attorney general, and Democratic mayors. We are doing everything possible to keep our cities safe through this unprecedented time"

Trump’s Own Mortgages Match His Description of Mortgage Fraud, Records Reveal The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found Trump once did the very thing ...

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence.

In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.

The cheapest way for America to access Greenland's mineral resources is to buy them. Greenland is happy to do business with its allies.
Trump thinks it will be less expensive to deploy the American military to the Arctic to steal what he wants.
Trump doesn't understand how business works.

FLASHBACK: “You will not see Republicans bailing out those who were arrested…. Americans do not need lectures from hypocrites in hair and makeup…”

Fascinating to revisit Gutfeld’s epic hypocrisy from January 7th, now that Trump has pardoned them all. 😕🇺🇸🤷🏼

"If they [Russians] are promising you well-paying jobs in Russia, you are going to end up in the army."

Ukrainian Defenders of the 63rd Mechanized Brigade captured a Ugandan named Richard Akantoran, who, according to him, was forced to fight on the Russian side.
