[Politics] Donald Trump, US President

[Albion my Albion]

When he said it would only be short term pain he was JOKING, obviously.

Only an idiot wouldn't realise that.

Yes, must have been "in jest." Obviously.

I would still like to shove his "jests" up his arse.

Trump changes his tune on the economy​

President Trump is changing his tune on the economy, suggesting that Americans should buy less and will probably pay more and bear the brunt of an uncertain economic landscape as his wide-ranging tariff policy takes effect.

Trump and his economic team have for weeks said the tariffs would result in only short-term pain and that the tumult in the stock market would eventually level out.

But the White House’s messaging has evolved from Trump on the campaign trail promising to lower prices and make America “wealthy” again to Trump suggesting that the U.S. needs a cultural shift on consumer spending while accepting that his tariff plan will raise prices.

Surprise! Surprise!

The Alcatraz thing and the new impeachment dispute with Dems are definitely distractions. Keep focused on the real issues.

But why would it make stuff more expensive when it's the rouge countries paying the US billions of dollars each week,................................according to Trump but not rational people.

With a very long stick, don't want to get too close.

It's almost as if it's not been thought through in any way and something some bollocks to get some headlines.

its almost as if he wants to push film making towards AI (rather than real people) as thats where his rich mates can make money?

DOJ has moved to settle a $30m wrongful death lawsuit for the shooting of Ashli Babbitt.

Capitol police deemed the shooting was "lawful and within Department policy" and "potentially saved Members (of Congress) and staff from serious injury and possible death" after she was warned multiple times not to proceed climbing through a shattered window.

Trump has previously called her a martyr, his puppet Pam Bondi has now instructed the DOJ to hand over $30m of US tax payers money to her family, setting them up for life.

He talks about "draining the swamp" he is the f***ing swamp.

This is how you deal with Trump - tell him Canada is not for sale then quickly say something on a less contentious matter that appeals to his vanity - narcissist management

President Trump says Obama Presidential Center is a "disaster"​

President Trump took shots at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago while meeting with the new Canadian prime minister Tuesday, calling it "a disaster" and blaming "woke" construction workers.

See video included with story.

I can testify to the fact that Trump is lying and the project was never stopped. It may be DEI workers but those workers are proud, the building being done looks great and the project will be competed.

Flip me..straight out of the Trump, insult and name call playbook and this is how they expect to get results? Pathetic..she should have stuck with cosplay wrestling.

Everything that comes out of there is a stream of consciousness mash up of maga buzzword nonsense. It's like the whole administration can only talk in childish tantrums

I wonder as the insults used are so similar across their comms, that it isn’t some sort of edict from on high. I find it utterly extraordinary that anyone in any sort of position of political prominence can go about their business in this manner.

Trumps worked it out; get Russia back in the football World Cup as a reward for stopping their invasion. The man’s a genius!

 

[Southern Scouse]

I truly hope that teams pull out of the WC if the russians somehow manage to slime their way back into the competition.
DT is the epitome of all that’s wrong in this world.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It's fake.

The markup of the Secretary of Education’s letter was made by user @danielluo_pi and is not an official response by Harvard.

It depends... if there is a full Russian withdrawal and peace deal in place then there are still a few WC places up for grabs in playoffs... and in those circumstances it could be considered.

Trump is so full of spite and anger - I'm surprised he hasn't yet started criticism of Democrat presidents pre Obama, or maybe I missed it!

But, but... it's the governments and people in those nasty countries that SEND the products to the US that will be paying the tariffs! He said it, I read it .

The World Tourism Forum Institute has warned that strict immigration policies in the US and global political tensions could "significantly" disrupt international arrivals.

"I know we'll have visitors, probably from close to 100 countries," said Vance.
"We want them to come. We want them to celebrate. We want them to watch the game.
"But when the time is up, they'll have to go home."

No shit sherlock !!
I can see it being a complete shit show.

The thing that's missing here is that actual answer to the question "who pays tariffs", which is "I don't care". These guys are just sacrificial lambs sent out to justify a policy that the President doesn't really understand. As long as the MAGAs get to see them "sticking it to the woke libs" then the fact that things will slowly get more expensive and businesses fail is irrelevant because they're being told that it's all Biden's fault
