Can't go three weeks without screwing something up.... A rock would absolutely make a much better president. Doing absolutely nothing would be a big improvement over this neverending mess.

3 weeks? He can't go a day without screwing something up. It's like the Republican Party deliberately decided to put demented toddler with no impulse control in charge of the country.

*More From Bloomberg News Reporters Madison Muller, Rachel Cohrs Zhang and Catherine Lucey* The Trump administration will impose tariffs of as much as 100% on certain imported medicines, albeit with several key exemptions, a maneuver to pressure drugmakers to manufacture more in the US. The new levy, which President Donald Trump authorized on Thursday, applies to patented drugs made in countries that lack tariff deals with the US by companies that don’t have most-favored-nation-pricing agreements with the administration. Duties for products made by certain larger companies will take effect in 120 days, while items from smaller manufacturers won’t be hit for another 180 days, according to a White House statement. Tariffs on imports from major economies that cut deals with the White House will be capped at 15%. That includes the European Union, South Korea, Japan, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, the statement said. Imports from the UK will face a lower rate.

True. Thanks for the link. Alberta separatists are babies; not even close to a true separatist. Vive le Quebec libre 😉
