  • Trump Denounces World Series

    Sunday, November 02, 2025
    Trump said he would send the National Guard to Toronto and impose 50% tariffs on all Los Angeles products. AllGov reporter Sidney Finster suggested that perhaps Trump had confused the two cities. Because Toronto is in Canada, not the United States, Trump can’t send the National Guard there. And because Los Angeles is in the United States, Trump can’t impose tariffs on a U.S. city.

The Republican Party now controls the White House, both houses of Congress and the Supreme Court, no matter how that came to be.
