There were previous DOGE dividends (thousands of dollars) and Tariff dividends of $2,000 which never happened:

Less than a year ago Trump posted:

People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS! We are now the Richest, Most Respected Country In the World, With Almost No Inflation, and A Record Stock Market Price. 401k’s are Highest EVER. We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion. Record Investment in the USA, plants and factories going up all over the place. A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone

Since then the debt has grown by $3 trillion dollars and no dividends have been paid out. What’s changed since then is rather than not paying out $2,000 he will now not pay out $5,000.

Blaming Canada is all they can do as they can’t blame themselves or their dear leader Trump:

Texas Republican August Pfluger praised Trump for bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. and pinned blame for the trade war on Ottawa.

“It’s a war that is perpetuated by Canada,” Pfluger told CBC News. “The Canadians need to get reasonable. They’ve taken advantage of the United States for a long time.”

This trade war against Canada was started by the USA when they unilaterally violated the existing signed CUSMA deal (agreed to during the Trump 1.0 administration) by imposing tariffs on our steel and aluminum. Canada responded in various ways including most provinces banning the sale of their alcohol. Complying with the existing agreement is not “taking advantage of the USA”. The trade deficit in goods in Canada’s favour is mostly due to us selling them crude oil at a discount. Almost 4 million barrels a day. Who’s taking advantage of who?

The USA escalated again on August 22 so there will be “dollar for dollar” increases in our tariffs for their products coming up on September 8:

As a result of the U.S.'s decision to impose a 50 per cent tariff on $27.6 billion of Canadian goods effective August 22, 2026, the Prime Minister announced that Canada will match the incoming U.S. Section 338 tariffs – dollar for dollar.

These new countermeasures on $27.6 billion in products imported from the U.S. will be effective as of 12:01 a.m., September 8, 2026.

The new targeted counter tariffs are concentrated in sectors such as steel and aluminum, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, plastics, and electronics. In certain sectors, such as steel and aluminum, existing counter-tariffs will increase from 25 per cent to 50 per cent to match U.S. rates.

Other existing counter-tariffs, including against U.S. autos, will also continue to apply.

Canada’s counter-tariffs are targeted against red/purple states such as carpet manufactured in the state of Georgia. Canada’s economy is smaller than the USA but there will still be negative impacts felt by the USA with higher prices for imported goods and less demand for their exports. Not good for the ruling party leading into their November mid-term elections.

So if the first Epstein Files Transparency act is not being followed how will creating a second one help? What is the penalty for Trump administration officials in not following the original act? What will it be for version 2.0?

If Trump does (tries to do) that wouldn’t it be an impeachable offense?

The similarities between Charlie Kirk and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Wessel are striking. Certain types of political parties use martyrs for propaganda.
