ComeOnAmerica WakeUp

The Heard and McDonald Islands are among the dozens of targets of President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs. But they have no exports, because no one lives there.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced the US was imposing reciprocal tariffs on a small collection of Antarctic islands that are not inhabited by humans, as part of a global trade war aimed at asserting US dominance. The Heard and McDonald Islands, known for their populations of penguins and seabirds, can only be reached by sea.

Trump announced the countries now subject to tariffs in a Wednesday press conference, using a poster as a prop. Additional countries—including the Heard and McDonald Islands, which are, incidentally, not countries—were listed on sheets of paper distributed to reporters.

If you are wondering how the typical Trumpist is reacting, here is it is, below. They don't understand markets. They don't own stocks or have 401k plans. To them, all of it just a mystery behind a curtain.

They are spectacularly stupid.

The rule of law has long been the cornerstone of American freedom, said Carol C. Lam in The New York Times. But "as the song says, 'you don't know what you've got till it's gone." The Justice Department last week ordered Danielle Sassoon, acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, to dismiss the corruption case against New York City's Democratic mayor, Eric Adams. Instead, Sassoon - a rising conservative legal star who clerked for late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia--handed in her resignation. In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, she explained that acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove had made clear to her and Adams' attorneys that the bribery charges were being dropped not because the case was flawed, but so the mayor could aid President Trump's immigration crackdown. This "amounted to a quid pro quo," Sassoon wrote, and she could not in good conscience participate. Bove blasted Sassoon for "insubordination," said Nick Catoggio in The Dispatch. But by that point, six other prosecutors in Sassoon's office had also resigned rather than participate in Bove's "drug deal," as did several lawyers in the Justice Department's public integrity section and four of Adams' deputy mavors.

They all "deserve immense moral credit" for their principled resig-nations, though it will do little to impede "Trump's effort to turn American law into a patronage system."
