![“It is keyed to the extent to which the administration can aggregate [new laws] and present the package as a pattern of disproportionality in burdening American digital companies. So the risk is cumulative – like a straw breaking a camel’s back,” said Leahy.
For now, Leahy said he expected the Trump administration’s response would be “substantial diplomatic and trade pressure” rather than a tariff by presidential Truth Social decree.
He said the issue might grab Trump’s attention if it were covered in the right-wing media in the United States, but, given News Corp’s support for the incentive, that may be unlikely.
“So if Fox News doesn’t come out against the News Bargaining Incentive, Trump may literally never even hear about it,” said Leahy.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:b4eb7lhse3ffppimflznqxm3/bafkreifak5rnwetneihndozbwqbvgnrcmnfyihfud7hgkzod6svjw3ql7e)
![Military service and Medal of Honor [edit]
Contrary to his claims, Dux's military records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act show that he
never served overseas, that he has not been given the Medal of Honor or any other award, and that in
January 1978 he was referred for psychiatric evaluation after he expressed "flighty and disconnected
ideas"."||2|[3) Dux states that the military sabotaged his service record to discredit him.!?! A photograph of
Dux in military uniform shows service ribbons being displayed in an incorrect order, and the Medal of Honor
he is wearing is the version given to members of the United States Army, rather than the Marine Corps.
Questioned about the photograph in 1988, Dux told John Johnson from the Los Angeles Times he was not
able to get the military to explain why he was awarded a medal from the wrong service, 2] though in later
years he changed his story to say the uniform was just a Halloween costume.!21]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:b4eb7lhse3ffppimflznqxm3/bafkreidp55ndvfw3oglln4r5zwmambqfmkwrw623crfslzzxafwzkspcpe)
