[Politics] Donald Trump, US President

[Marty McFly]

I reckon there's a very real chance that Musk is one drug fuelled, psychotic episode away from laying into Trump on 'X'.

Time to order some Pringles!

Come back to the good side Elon...

The one caveat I would add is that in both of these he is attacking congress and congressional Republicans, not the Fanta Fascist

Trump shows once again that, as with his father's businesses, he can turn successful things into failures

Come back to the good side Elon...

Do you remember this?

4 year old kid saying ‘You’re not the President, you need to go away’ is obviously paraphrasing a view that he’s heard from someone!

A tell-tell of things to come?

Trump Lays the Groundwork for Blaming Economic Downturn on Everybody Else​

Donald Trump is a master at making his own achievements — no matter how unremarkable they are — sound like they are the most amazing accomplishments in history; taking credit for the successes of others; and blaming everybody but himself for his own failures.

That is how an average US economy during his first term became the “greatest in history,” which is a claim so laughable that one look at any statistical category shows that it is false.

Of course, when you brag about being the greatest, and then find yourself in the Oval Office again, you have to deliver.

And that’s Trump’s current dilemma because, while he inherited a robust economy from Joe Biden, his erratic tariff policies are posing a real threat to everything from gross domestic product growth, unemployment, and inflation.

So far, the economy is still cruising along in some of those areas. However, most of the tariffs have also not yet gone into effect, and there is a very real chance that they will do great harm to the economy and, by extension, the American people.



I can't imagine Trump ever admitting fault for something that went wrong.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the secretary of the Navy to rename the oiler ship USNS Harvey Milk, according to a defense official.

The ship, named after the gay rights activist and Navy veteran, who was made to resign from the force because of his sexual orientation, is set to be officially renamed later this month, the official said. It is not clear what the new name will be, but the timing is notable given that June is Pride Month.

Conveniently timed....

"the memo reviewed by Military.com noted that the renaming was being done so that there is "alignment with president and SECDEF objectives and SECNAV priorities of reestablishing the warrior culture," apparently referencing President Donald Trump, Hegseth and Phelan."


Reestablishing the warrior culture? With such a limp-wristed move?

Perhaps they should name it after the sailor from the Village People, as they like the YMCA song so much....
