Nintendo just hit pause on Switch 2 pre-orders thanks to Trump's tariff tantrum. The Switch 2's $449.99 price tag was already making wallets cry. But now Trump's decided to slap a whopping 46% tariff on Vietnam (where Nintendo makes some of its hardware) and 34% on China. —...
Donald Trump ditched today's dignified transfer of four American soldiers who died during a training exercise in Lithuania because the president faced a more urgent matter — as in a golf tournament he couldn't pass up. And it makes sense, being that Trump did not even know ...
Turns out Trump's 'Get Out Of Jail Free' cards for his J6 mob don't cover the other assorted felonies they racked up along the way. How can this be fair? The D.C. Circuit Court told Kentucky insurrectionist Dan Wilson that Trump's pardon doesn't erase the illegal weapons...
