“My philosophy, Mr President, is that all foreigners are out to screw us and it’s our job to screw them first.”

It’s just history repeating. nothing new.
The above words were spoken by John Connally in 1971 - he persuaded then President Nixon to enact what became known as the Nixon Shock
New world, new economics, new alignments - never would have imagined EU/China economic cooperation - the Anti-Coercion Instrument was drawn up with China/Lithunia in mind, now talk of using it vs US - strange times.
Things can only get better.

Nope - seems the 20% rate still applies according to Stephen Miller - that might change as we have learned.

What do you think about the possibility that this pushes the euro up the list to maybe one day replace the dollar as the reserve currency of the world?
Any chance of that? It would be like so ironic with all the doom and gloom talked about the euro when it first came out.

One thing is certain: going forward, not a single MAGA or Republican can voice any complaints after endorsing this kind of behavior and conduct from their savior, they back themselves into a corner.

American doctor receives email from immigration officials telling her to leave the country immediately
A doctor born in the United States says she received an email from federal immigration authorities demanding that she leave the country immediately.
Lisa Anderson, a physician from Cromwell, Connecticut, told NBC Connecticut on Wednesday that she recently received a letter from the Department of Homeland Security telling her, “It is time for you to leave the United States."
Immigration authorities have been pushing noncitizens to leave of their own volition, or “self-deport,” as the number of deportations remains at similar levels to last year.
But Anderson, 58, was born in Pennsylvania and is a U.S. citizen.
“The language seemed pretty threatening to whomever it might actually apply to,” she said.
A senior DHS official told NBC News that the department has been issuing the notices to individuals who do not have lawful status to remain in the country.
“If a non-personal email — such as an American citizen contact — was provided by the alien, notices may have been sent to unintended recipients,” the officials said. “CBP is monitoring communications and will address any issues on a case-by-case basis.”
The email to Anderson comes days after a Boston immigration attorney — who is also a U.S. citizen — received the same email from DHS, telling her to leave the country within seven days. The attorney, Nicole Micheroni, told MSNBC that as of Tuesday, federal officials had not followed up.
Pointing to the Boston email, Anderson said that she does not “have anything to do with immigration.”
Anderson has been carrying her U.S. passport on her at all times since receiving the email and is seeking an immigration attorney.
“It does make me concerned there’re a lot more people out there like me who probably also thought this was spam, who probably didn’t realize, ‘I have a problem,’” she said.

No American citizen should ever experience this. A lawsuit is certain to follow.
American citizen detained under ICE hold in Florida has been released
A US-born man initially charged with being an “unauthorized alien” in Florida has been released after spending the night in jail on a 48-hour hold requested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement amid the Trump administration’s broad deportation crackdown.
Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, 20, was arrested by Florida Highway Patrol on Wednesday when the car he was riding in was pulled over for a traffic stop, said his attorney Mutaqee Akbar. The American citizen – born in Grady County, Georgia, where he lives in the city of Cairo – was crossing into Florida for his work in construction in Tallahassee, about 45 minutes from home.
The new Florida law Lopez-Gomez was arrested under – designed to discourage undocumented immigrants from entering the state and touted by its Republican leaders – has been temporarily blocked by a judge, according to news reports and a spokesperson for the immigrant rights coalition working with Lopez-Gomez’s family.
The Georgia man was released Thursday evening, spokesperson Thomas Kennedy, who was at the Leon County courthouse to assist Lopez-Gomez’s family, told CNN.
“He is free!! Thank you to everyone who shared, call(ed) and did anything to help secure his release,” Kennedy, of the Florida Immigrant Coalition, posted on X with a photo of an emotional Lopez-Gomez surrounded by supporters.
The White House’s mass deportation campaign has sparked fear as it aims to vastly slow arrivals at the border and eject undocumented immigrants, from children to suspected criminals. Judges across federal and state courts have weighed the legality of a mounting number of such cases, while President Donald Trump also has threatened to send certain US citizens to offshore prisons, a notion experts say has no legal basis.
