4. Another example of the following chaos:

Trump pauses de minimis repeal as packages pile up at US customs.

' U.S. President Donald Trump paused his administration's repeal of duty-free treatment of low-cost packages from China on Friday, giving the Commerce Department time to make the order workable, after the rapid change created disruptions for customs inspectors, postal and delivery services and online retailers.

The eventual cancellation of de minimis means the more than 1 billion small-value e-commerce packages arriving annually in the United States with goods coming directly from China must switch to an entry process that requires additional information and duties, adding time and cost.

The stop and restart of the United States Postal Service acceptance of those packages this week set off a swarm of disruptions that backed up Customs clearance for packages - even those that had paid duties - at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

"Well that was a fun Tuesday through Friday, if you work in global e-commerce," said Derek Lossing, CEO of e-commerce and global supply chain firm Cirrus Global Advisors.'


***Just think of all the 'de minimus' matters to arise ALL OVER, due to all of the transactions/matters
screwed up due to the crap interfered with! Will take a LONG TIME to resolve it all, and will cost us all A LOT, but we'll get our country and jobs back!!! including FBI!!!

6. Soon the reports of mass starvation

In Sudan Will fail to move the mass murderers. And a little farther down the line, farm bankruptcies in red states where much of the food comes from? Oh My. The horrors of Conservative Values should be in fictional movies, not in our lives. Meanwhile republicans in Washington clutch their pearls in fear of a primary challenge. Fuck them Sudanese, I gain seniority next term.

His first term started with the Muslim ban.International flights with people returning home or visiting stuck in the air, ending up in Canada, our air terminals full for days. Its just another impulsive, impatient, chaotic $hit show this term but the pace is in overdrive.
