Tim Pool, a far-right influencer who was exposed last summer for accepting up to $400,000 a month from Russian state media to spread misinformation, was given the first question at today's White House press briefing.

“China wins a trade war with the U.S.” — Jeffrey Sachs China produces, while the U.S. consumes on credit. Trump doesn’t get it because "he never made it to the second day of econ class." "Our political system is in a state of collapse."

In both "The Handmaid's Tale" and "The Testaments," Canada is the place you can escape to when things become too oppressive in the States. You're welcome.
