Foreign. The corruption in the Trump administration is unmatched, as is the incompetence, the abject incompetence of the people that he surrounds himself with. Not only are they incompetent, they are liars. They sit and look at your face and they lie to you. For example, yesterday when asked about tariffs, Carolyn Levitt, the press secretary for Donald Trump, said this.

If we could just step back for a second. When President Trump last addressed the brt, when he was on the campaign trail, his big push was on tax cuts. He's going there today as he's proposing tax hikes in the form of tariffs. And I'm curious, he's not why he's prioritizing that over the tax cuts.
Press Secretary (0:52)
He's actually not implementing tax hikes. Tariffs are a tax hike on foreign countries that, again, have been ripping us off. Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people. And the president is a staunch advocate of tax cuts. As you know, he campaigned on no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, no taxes on Social Security benefits. He is committed to all three of those things and he expects Congress to pass them later this year.

I'm sorry, have you ever paid a tariff? Because I have. They don't get charged on foreign companies. They get charged on the importers.

And ultimately, when we have fair and balanced trade, which the American people have not seen in decades, as I said at the beginning, revenues will stay here, wages will go up, and our country will be made wealthy again. And I think it's insulting that you are trying to test my knowledge of economics and the decisions that this president has made. I'm now regret giving a question to the Associated Press.

Okay, so many things to talk about here. Number one, it is well established that tariffs are paid by the consumer, not the foreign country. They the buyer buys the product at an increased price, thus selling it to the consumer at an increased price. This is settled for secondly, saying that the no tax on tip, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime, that's never been addressed by the Trump administration. That is not in the works. We've not heard another thing about it since the election. Then you go to, it's insulting to me to test my economic policy. You clearly don't know economic issues like tariffs because you are lying. So either you don't understand it or you're straight up lying and don't care. And then the swipe at the ap, because Trump wants to keep all propaganda in the White House press corps. He wants to get rid of everybody that will not spread his propaganda. So there are so many things wrong with this. It is amazing to me that we go from Jen Psaki, Karine Jean Pierre to this complete bozo. So my question is, does she know she's lying or she a dipshit? I don't know if it's a combination of both or one or the other, but it is embarrassing for her. It's embarrassing for the Trump White House. Moving on to further embarrassing. So just for the record, measles vaccines save lives. We have deaths in measles that are at record high. We've not seen this in decades because the vaccine works. So here is R.F. kennedy Jr. At a Shake Shack. Mr. Health and Safety and making American people eat healthy food is doing a commercial for Shake Shack while being interviewed by Sean Hannity. And what he does is lie about the measles vaccine.
