Trump's Turbulent Week: Tariffs, Troops, and Tensions

President Trump has ordered the U.S.

military to take control of federal lands along the U.S.-Mexico border, specifically the Roosevelt Reservation.

This move allows troops to detain migrants and is seen by critics as a distraction from his economic

troubles.

Texas Democrat Greg Casar called it 'an abuse of our military' and a tactic to shift focus from

the tariff fallout.

Trump’s 145% tariffs on Chinese goods have triggered a global trade war.

China retaliated with 125% tariffs, and markets are reeling.

Even Trump ally Kevin O’Leary is calling for 400% tariffs, while BlackRock’s CEO warns the U.S.

may already be in a recession.

Trump paused some tariffs for 90 days, but critics say the damage is done.

Abigail Disney, heiress to the Disney fortune and a major Democratic donor, says the party is in crisis.

She’s withholding donations until Biden steps down and calls for a 'civilization-level reset.' She blames the lack of

unity and leverage among progressives and urges figures like Bernie Sanders and AOC to lead a grassroots revival.

The U.S.

removed the commander of its Greenland space base after she criticized Vice President JD Vance’s push for annexation.

Trump has vowed to acquire Greenland 'one way or another,' escalating tensions with Denmark.

The move highlights growing militarization and political pressure in the Arctic region.

The GOP-backed SAVE Act, requiring proof of citizenship to vote, passed the House but faces hurdles in the

Senate.

Critics say it could disenfranchise legal voters, especially women and low-income citizens.

Democrats are divided, with some centrists supporting it and others warning it’s a voter suppression tactic.
