🕶️💣 Trump is running Washington like a mob boss.

Just today, he jacked Brazil with 50 percent tariffs for daring to prosecute his buddy Bolsonaro, sanctioned a UN watchdog doing her job, and held back funds from clinics and loan relief to keep the rest of us in line.

This is pure Roy Cohn style payback politics. Every lever of government is beating people and institutions for personal grudges while real crises fester. Stand up to the protection racket and make this Don sweat over the backlash his gangland politics will spark.
