Did an 1800s Book Series About ‘Baron Trump’ Predict Donald Trump’s Rise to Power?
Ingersoll Lockwood was an American diplomat and lawyer who wrote children’s novels, fiction, and nonfiction in the late 1800s. However, a few of his books have been rediscovered in recent years due to some uncanny details that parallel the current president.

Your courts is going to stop that
I called this. Diaper Don thought he could bully people and they wouldn't push back. I said BRICS currency wouldn't happen but looks like this trade war will give it new life.
It’s obvious people are coming illegally because they know they’ll get paid under the table. The employers love them because they can pay them the bare minimum and treat those people like shit and maximize on profit.
Ofc, if the employers were penalized for hiring illegal employees all that shit would stop!
But ya know….
And they get robbed a lot, because people know they don't have bank accounts.
I’m surprised, but they are getting ready to throw Elon under the bus

Before:
5 Prototype PCBS - $2
Sales tax 7.5% - $0.15
Shipping - $7.03
Informal customs fee: $2.53
Total: $11.71
Now:
5 Prototype PCBS - $2
Sales tax 7.5% - $0.15
104% Tariff: $2.08
Shipping - $7.03
Formal customs fee: $150.00
Total: $161.26
Just a causal increase of 1277.11% and that’s before any components that I would source. For the record a U.S. based manufacturer for the same thing is more around $67 for three from one supplier or if I went with another, $100 for three.
So looking at my options:
• I take a 1277.11% cost increase and continue to use China for cheap prototypes, and solder them by hand still.
• Continue to use China for cheap prototypes and have them completed for me to hopefully cut some costs down.
• Switch entirely to a U.S. based company and see an cost increase of 572.2% to at least 918% before cost of the components as some of them are rather specialty.

He's been in all the computers and probably has back doors now. He's helped destroy the us. His work there is done.
Great. Yet another standoff with a nation that is fundamentally unafraid of us.
