President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order that puts on hold a sweeping new sanctions package targeting the Russian economy, telling Congress the pause was in the national interest.

Trump personally signed the legislation just last month and his move came just two days before a deadline set in the law itself for its implementation. It drew shift condemnation from congressional Democrats.

Named after late South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, the legislation had sought to clamp down more quickly on the flow of financial resources fueling the war against Ukraine.

Trump’s unexpected decision comes a week after he stunningly said the U.S. had agreed to purchase diesel from Russia to try to bring down global energy prices, despite that potentially hurting Ukraine in its war with Russia.

    I think a pedo tape of him would still cause problems, a lot of people know he’s a pedo but actually seeing it would be hard for most to stomach. And if he cracks down on it, that would convince most people it’s real

    A video of him murdering and eating a baby would very probably lead to actual consequences, just for the sake of the argument. Which would be surprising, but not that surprising…I mean they say every accusation is an admission, and I’m sure you remember pizza gate

    It could also be videos with congressmen… Trump himself might be nearly untouchable but who knows? If enough of Congress gets switched out (especially in an Epstein scandal) the new members are much more likely to remove him from office
