Hungary’s new National Asset Recovery and Asset Protection Office is for “police, financial investigators, and civil litigators” to recover “stolen taxpayer dollars.” Govt has “power to temporarily seize the hoarded assets of companies suspected of hoarding stolen public wealth.” 👏👏 We can do that.

HCR: “complaining about the smoke from Canadian wildfires hurting U.S. air quality,” Tr*mp says new tariffs because “‘the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air.’ Canadians…noted they sent firefighters, rather than threats, when conditions were reversed”
