The word of the day is "tariffs." A lot of people are having fun with President Donald Trump putting a 10 percent tariff on the Heard and McDonald islands, which are unpopulated except for penguins. This is my favorite meme so far:

Adam Kinzinger noticed that there was one country that was conspicuously absent from Trump's tariffs, though:
No tariffs on Russia. Hmmm

We've already written about actor Dean Cain schooling Stephanie Ruhle on what Trump supporters voted for, but we'll let him have his say here too:
We don't really trade with Russia, and the sanctions on Russia are MASSIVE. But you know that, you propagandist. https://t.co/8KjzDOT8si

Are we trading with Russia?
โ Phil (Dude/Bro) (@phildudebro) April 2, 2025
Correct. That's because we have sanctioned Russia. You already know that though.

Maybe he doesn't.
You are not a serious person if you are unaware of the sanctions against Russia.

Itโs due to sanctions. You ought to know this.

He's the guy who lost his seat in Congress, accepted a preemptive pardon from Joe Biden, and now just posts about Trump on X.
