HE SIGNED THE SANCTIONS. NAMED THEM AFTER HIS DEAD FRIEND. THEN WAIVED THEM 28 DAYS LATER.
The Graham Act — tariffs up to 100% on the biggest buyers of Russian oil. Congress passed it. Trump signed it September 18th.
October 16th, two days before it took effect, he waived the whole thing. Activated it and suspended it in the same document. That's not a pause, that's a magic trick.
His reason? "National interests." The report explaining why? He won't show it. The waiver? Never expires.
And the diesel "deal"? 2.25 million barrels from Russia. Sounds huge — until you learn America burns 3 million barrels of diesel EVERY DAY. Not even one day's supply. A press release with a bow, dropped 25 days before midterms while diesel's $6.33.
