I know Bitcoin has lost a lot of value recently, but South Korean crypto exchange Bithumb surely overreacted by handing out more than $40 billion worth of the cryptocurrency to its customers.

Any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time, and that includes Primaries! Our Trade Deficit has been reduced by 78%, the Dow Jones has just hit 50,000, and the S&P, 7,000, all Numbers that were considered IMPOSSIBLE just one year ago.
