Is Trump blowing it?

[Anti Federalist]

We wanted White supremacy and an isolated non-trading nation that can build a self sufficient war machine. Trump is on fire. Who is going to stop him steam rolling Canada and Mexico? Nato?

Hmmm, now that I think about it, Christchurch could use a couple of Trump Tower Resorts.

Deep down I always knew you were one of those. That's not a compliment.

It's been ok. About what I expected.

Is Trump blowing it?​

What's this "It" - Putin's pronoun maybe? I was aware Trump has been widely recognized for jerking two guys off at once, but I didn't realize he'd graduated to blowing them (errrr, it ... don't think I'll ever get used to these pronouns)

 

[Anti Globalist]

The most I was expecting from Trump was a good economy, no new wars, WW3 averted, J6 prisoners pardoned, cheap groceries and gas, and appointing replacements for the SCOTUS. I didn't waste my time hoping there would be a bunch of Democrats and neocons arrested.

Why has Fauci not been indicted?

Yeah, the list is getting longer. I want to know what the plan is for dealing with obstructionist judges. They had to have war gamed what was going to happen.

But my expectations were so low, that most everything I wanted has been done so far.

They have to negate the auto-signed pardon of St. Fauci first.

 

[DamianTV]

He got a full pardon. So there's no there there. That's how a pardon works. It's as if nothing happened.

That's a dead end religion now. You would have to massively over turn the rule of law in our country to change that.

Invalid Pardon. Two very simple reasons:
#1 - Autopen
#2 - He did not win the last election. It was a Fraudslide. Which means EVERYTHING he has done is legally INVALID.

Trouble is proving that.

You can't invalidate the power of the office of the president only Congress can do that.

If Congress doesn't remove the president then that president’s authority remains lawful.

It took a little over a century to bring America to our knees Do you think Trump ca undo all of that in 2 months? At least he is not Kamala and that is saying something. Obama would be having his 4th term.

Musk is an OPPORTUNIST and member of the Billionaire's Club. He is benefiting by use of tariffs and government intervention [protectionism] to ramp up the price of gas powered automobiles to roll out his "eco-friendly" battery powered cars, which will also require nationwide charging stations, of which "only 7 were built under the Biden Administration".

He also wants to utilize his X platform as the be-all communication/finance manager while sharing its user data with Israel [there is a thread on this]. Musk also stated that he plans to focus his efforts on his Neuralink program.

I am not against the private sector advancing technologies utilizing the free market in its true definition of the term. But this guy has been around D.C. for far too long that it leads to nefarious things that I do not trust further than I can spit.

Welcome to Klaus Schwab's "4th Industrial Revolution" where AI will advance exponentially under this administration, including "more efficient" government where there will be no escaping taxes and KYC - not just here, but globally.

You lost me on that first sentence. You're insinuating that wealth is inherently wrong and that doesn't work for me.

I've always said that it would've been better if Musk had earned his wealth strictly in the private sector but just because he's a billionaire doesn't make him a bad person. I've got some other issues with Musk, one is his support of crypto currency and he used to be a democrat and believes in the existence of government welfare. But the class warfare thing you used turns me off.

I always put the blame on government in these situations. For example if the government decides to waste money on building a bridge to nowhere, I don't blame the the business that gets hired to do the job. The cure is to stop the government from building the bridge, not punish the business that entered into a voluntary contract.

Well, then come up with a better term for the cabal who buys, rents and leases congress and sets up science projects to rewrite our DNA. Yes, it's still possible to become quite wealthy, maybe even to the tune of hundreds of millions, without selling your soul to that colony of ticks feeding at the tax/print trough. But you can see that there is a group of kickbackers and influence buyers that operates in a different way. And, these days, they operate on a different level. How do we refer to these demons without offending the delicate sensibilities of innocent millionaires? I, for one, am open to suggestions.

I believe that I made myself clear:

"I am not against the private sector advancing technologies utilizing the free market in its true definition of the term. But this guy has been around D.C. for far too long that it leads to nefarious things that I do not trust further than I can spit."

Specific examples are in my previous post.

Ok, peace. As long as you're not in favor of using government intervention against "billionaires" we're probably on the same side. I hear way too much of it on this site, for example: antitrust laws, banning big pharma from advertising, banning outsourcing, campaign finance laws, progressive taxation, etc.

My expectations were in the negatives for this presidency. The moment the pieces were put together on Trump's connections to technocrats and the weird twitter network Musk/Thiel set up, I knew it was going to indeed be this bad and libertarians were suckered into supporting it because they really thought Elon Musk of all people would want to abolish government waste. They thought Trump/Vance were anti-war. LOL. All those months of hyping over the dream team

It's been less than three months since inauguration and he kept a lot of his campaign promises already.

I think we all knew Israel was still going to control him, like they do every significant politician.
Zelensky is a little fucking toolbag that's being told by the EU to resist Trump...

And the stock market isn't the economy... Obviously, lots of people are pissed at their 401(k)s but maybe these tariffs will have some longer term impact that we can't see yet.

Israel? It's not about Israel or normal Israelis. Who do you think owns "Israel"? The same who created it.
The same who took us over, a long, long time ago. If the first America First didn't work, who thought this one ever could?
They got us by the balls. The system is the master. It is a monster.

This is both factually untrue, and operationally non-sensical. If I have to spend 15 minutes capturing why, I'm writing
to people that either only see what they want to see, or don't understand financial markets.
