“Coke Libre” as the sugar cane will come from a Spanish-speaking country? That may remind some Floridians of the “Cuba Libres” they enjoyed in the old country.

I’m pretty sure that Trump is telling US sugar producers that he is trying to increase their sales. He is in favor of quotas and tariffs on imported sugar.
This is the trend. Why import sugar cane when you can pay three times as much for it from Louisiana?

I guess the WSJ has no problems being sued.
When Justice Department officials reviewed what Attorney General Pam Bondi called a “truckload” of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year, they discovered that Donald Trump’s name appeared multiple times, according to senior administration officials.
In May, Bondi and her deputy informed the president at a meeting in the White House that his name was in the Epstein files, the officials said. Many other high-profile figures were also named, Trump was told. Being mentioned in the records isn’t a sign of wrongdoing.
The officials said it was a routine briefing that covered a number of topics and that Trump’s appearance in the documents wasn’t the focus.
They told the president at the meeting that the files contained what officials felt was unverified hearsay about many people, including Trump, who had socialized with Epstein in the past, some of the officials said. One of the officials familiar with the documents said they contain hundreds of other names.
They also told Trump that senior Justice Department officials didn’t plan to release any more documents related to the investigation of the convicted sex offender because the material contained child pornography and victims’ personal information, the officials said. Trump said at the meeting he would defer to the Justice Department’s decision to not release any further files.

It is such a contrast to the media scrum later with Trump and a few senators, who could not stop vigorously nodding at every pronouncement from Dear Leader. Trump is so used to surrounding himself with sycophants that he is a bit out of his element when called on his BS.

Different slant on this story from Fox: confused Powell
FWIW, Legal Eagle reviews the Trump suit against Murdoch.
When confronted by someone with who speaks rapidly without concern about their own statements having a basis in truth confusion is a normal response.

As I have said before, Epstein’s clients were probably both Democrats and Republicans. The only things they have in common are they like underage women and are powerful enough to get a pass.
He’s due…

In addition to the tariff threats, I am sure Europe appreciates Trump telling it how to run itself.
“I say two things to Europe. Stop the windmills. You’re ruining your countries. I really mean it, it’s so sad. You fly over and you see these windmills all over the place, ruining your beautiful fields and valleys and killing your birds,” he said. “On immigration, you better get your act together,” he said. “You’re not going to have Europe any more.”
