He can ask for them back, but El Salvador doesn’t have to listen.

They do if they know what's good for them.

But more to the point, alli the headlines, saying "can't get them back" are misrepresenting the situation. Trump isn't saying that he can't get them back, he's saying the judges can't make him get them back.

This may not be only about tariffs, but they play into it, if only by making other countries unhappy with us.

But happy enough to accept the work.

Some of those I've never seen hyphenated in 30 years of being an avid reader. And some of the corrections I see listed, I've seen used the other way.

But I'm sure they read more broadly than I do.

I wonder if he understands the conflict between "open market" and "tariffs," or if this is just a case of him not understanding that other countries get to make their own policy, or what.

I don't want the patient of the US to be operating under Maxim 13.

I agree. I made the comment before I read the rest of the article.

Headline writers need to be flogged, or something.

Can you imagine needing to pay a licensing fee in order to use the alphabet? Or your telling of Jack up the Beanstalk being subject to copyright?

Hummm. No boob jokes. This might be legitimate.

Good on him, then.

Honestly, even if I don't understand why he did it that way, he's at least doing something.

I'm sure he did, but I don't know the reason, and the democrats have not impressed me with their brilliance recently.

I'm not seeing it as a court order. I'm directly addressing the claim that Trump can't do anything to get him back.

I think the argument I'm entertaining is that there is already not much business going on at 3AM.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad one of our leaders is showing a little spine, but he could afford to be a little more tactical about it.
