Eric Rauchway : The former president

doesn’t know enough about history to throw to a cat.

He says the tariff law of 1890 , called the “ McKinley tariff,” levied high taxes even on imports in industries, like iron and steel, in which the U.S. was already highly competitive.

The law raised the average tariff nearly to 49 percent .

Donald Trump has taken to cosplaying the presidencies of George Washington and John Adams .

The former president

’s campaign filed a complaint with the FEC accusing the Labour Party in the UK of election thimblerigging.

Trump 's campaign has accused British Prime Minister Keir Starmer 's Labour Party of "blatant foreign interference" in the U.S ..

Adams was handed the Quasi-War with France along with the presidency.

Congress passed, and Adams signed, the Alien and Sedition Acts, the infamous attack on the Bill of Rights that Jefferson referred to as “the reign of witches” Adams even took to appearing in full military uniform, which must have been hilarious.
