Solving The Country's Biggest Problem (Yes TRUMP, But Nothing To Do With Mueller)

On Friday, writing for New York Magazine Andrew Sullivan found yet another way to call Señor Trumpanzee a liar: "making us all live in his delusional reality show."

Mexico is considering heavy tariffs on US corn and soy

While staring down the barrel of potential tariffs on autos being levied by the Trump administration, the Mexicans are considering their options.

Civil war breaks out at G7 summit (Video)

The G7 provided much drama and fallout, as Trump trolled the conference from beginning to end, calling out the “meek” and “weak” Presidents, Prime Ministers and Chancellors of France, Germany and host nation Canada, while the US President once again pressed his “America first” policy to the shock and fear of the G6 leaders.
