China stopped buying food and energy from the U.S. today

Well, right off the bat he ended this woke nightmare where some mentally ill man puts on lipstick and competes in women’s sports and uses the women’s bathroom. How sick is that? These mentally ill need to be treated, not allowed to cheat on TV and in the Olympics, and allowed to steal accolades and Title 9 scholarship money from women. They need professional help, not gold medals that they stole form girls.

He also did about all he could do to explain to the American people that we are broke. That government bureaucrats violated their oaths to uphold the Constitution and spent trillions on programs that are not one of the small handful of duties the government has under our Constitution. Now did he stop the debt snowball? No. But this is a very important first step. We have to remind everyone that government employees who cash paychecks that are funded by children (by giving children insurmountable debt to deal with in order for those paychecks to clear) are our enemies. Those aren’t real jobs they have. Those are sissies who ride the backs of children, some yet to be born. Fire them all. Musk did OK, but he got to the point where I think he feared for his life. I understand. It was a dangerous, thankless job.

He actually rounded up criminals who entered our country illegally and sent them back out. That’s action. We are either a country or we are not. We’re not if we have open borders.

He pardoned the January 6 protestors. On this one he was a little weak, I’ll admit. He should have went after the enemies of the state and imprisoned them. Enemies like Liz Cheney who had months of hearings defaming the unarmed protestors while at the same time refusing to let them proffer a defense. What a Hitler/Stalin-like shit show that was. We all know you don’t overthrow the most powerful nation in the world without a single firearm. She should be in prison.

He won that $15 million dollar settlement against George Stephanopoulos and ABC for saying he raped some woman who crawled out from under a rock after many years, after Trump became President, and after she wrote a book where she said “rape is sexy.” And of course Stephanopoulous got fired. But that isn’t enough. Any woman who waits years to accuse a man of something when everyone knows it’s impossible to put up a defense after all those years, should be sent to prison for life. Assaulted by a man? Dial 911. Don’t wait till there is an over-obvious profit motive decades later. Anyway, he should go after ABC hard. Send the IRS after them and give them an audit from hell. Bankrupt them. Teach them a lesson. $15 million is nothing.

And the big one, he won a third time in a row. He won too big to rig. They attacked him from all sides, weaponizing the justice department. 34 felonies for failing to keep proper records of HIS OWN COMPANY??? When a company settles with an employee or a plaintiff or whatever over some issue, of course you don’t record the transaction accurately. That’s why those are normally-unprosecuted misdemeanors. Even worse in his case, they were past their statute of limitations. That’s all you got? Normally-unprosecuted misdemeanors past their statute of limitations? All those FBI agents should be rounded up and executed. Now normally, you only reserve capital punishment for murder, but these were high-ranking government officials using their office to tamper with an election. And worse, as Mark Zuckerberg honorably explained, they used their official capacities to suppress stories about the Bidens. All these justice department employees “need to go” if you know what I mean. Swift trials and right to the electric chair.

So he hasn’t gone far enough in most cases, but he moved us in the right direction.

He just doesn’t understand tariffs.

They knew it because it changed the face of America back in 1770’s if I am not mistaken.
The Boston Tea Party was a protest against British tariffs.
Now the world is protesting American tariffs, or a majority of thereof. How many will abandon USA as it becomes more isolated?
History!!! The Boston Tea Party was a protest against British tariffs.
American independence.

But, he is learning. Contray to what some think, he is a pretty smart individual that takes advice from those around him who are more educated on the topic. Sure, it is does not have good optics but he is flexible and does adapat as needed. We have seen this with the changes he has made in the past few weeks and months with the tarrifs, TikTok, Greenland, Canada😂, and on and on. He is a shrewed businessman and likes to keep those he is negoating with on edge not knowing what is next.

None! No one has abandoned the USA. Have you been reading lately? Tariffs have been reduced with the rise of more open markets for the US. People like Carney the Cartoon will use Trump to promote his communist ideology, but relations in trading with Canada are fine.

Taxation without representation has nothing to do with the current situation.

Hey, I or nobody will be able to change your mind on Trump and I’m not trying to.

But President Trump would not have been able to build his real estate empire without being a smart business man. He knows how to make deals in his favor. As you say “buckle up” it is going to be a fun and interesting ride!

Keep posting the good news Kevin! Despite the headline, that article is highly favorable.

But I will happily admit that doing battle with China is going to sting unless the current negotiations expand significantly. I expect they will but it will be bumpy.

I am willing to endure for a favorable deal to move us out of a debt/service nation and back to a producer with open markets.

But China does not want that and CNBC will be sure to report all Trump policy as negative as possible. China is lucky to have them on their team.

Actually, no, Trump is not a smart businessman, and he didn’t create his real estate empire.

It’s no secret that his father, Fred Trump, although crooked as all hell, was the shrewd businessman, not Donald. Had it not been for his father giving him tens of millions of dollars, multiple properties in NY, and then a multi-hundred-million-dollar inheritance, Donald would be just another one of the little people like you and me.

“By age 3, Mr. Trump was earning $200,000 a year in today’s dollars from his father’s empire. He was a millionaire by age 8. By the time he was 17, his father had given him part ownership of a 52-unit apartment building. Soon after Mr. Trump graduated from college, he was receiving the equivalent of $1 million a year from his father. The money increased with the years, to more than $5 million annually in his 40s and 50s.”

And remember that $1 million loan Trump talked so much about on the campaign trail? The Times reports that the total loan by Fred Trump to his son, Donald, was actually $60.7 million or – and brace yourself here – $140 million in today’s money. (The total amount of money Trump received from his father’s holdings is estimated at more than $400 million by the Times).

Another psychic. Trump could not possibly learn from his father, silly goose. That never happens. Anyone born with some money never make it on their own. It is all handed to them with silver platters. No one knows any hard working and talented rich people with an inheritance. They are utterly incapable, incompetent and dumb as rocks. Privilege is the only thing that gets you ahead in life. How many times do our teachers have to tell us this?!

I recommend using the Google for researching the subject as opposed to many who think The Apprentice was a real reality show. :wink:

Here’s a little information for you to consider.

  1. Trump Airlines — Trump borrowed $245 million to purchase Eastern Air Shuttle. He branded it Trump Airlines. He added gold bathroom fixtures. Two years later Trump could not cover the interest payment on his loan and defaulted.
  2. Trump Beverages — Although Trump touted his water as “one of the purest natural spring waters bottled in the world,” it was simply bottled by a third party. Other beverages, including Trump Fire and Trump Power, seem not to have made it to market. And Trump’s American Pale Ale died with a trademark withdrawal.
  3. Trump Game — Milton Bradley tried to sell it. As did Hasbro. After investment, the game died and went out of circulation.
  4. Trump Casinos — Trump filed for bankruptcy three times on his casinos, namely the Trump Taj Mahal, the Trump Marina and the Trump Plaza in New Jersey and the Trump Casino in Indiana. Trump avoided debt obligations of $3 billion the first time. Then $1.8 billion the second time. And then after reorganizing, shuffling money and assets, and waiting four years, Trump again declared bankruptcy after missing ongoing interest payments on multi-million dollar bonds. He was finally forced to step down as chairman.
  5. Trump Magazine — Trump Style and Trump World were renamed Trump Magazine to reap advertising dollars from his name recognition. However, Trump Magazine also went out of business.
  6. Trump Mortgage — Trump told CNBC in 2006 that “I think it’s a great time to start a mortgage company. … The real-estate market is going to be very strong for a long time to come.” Then the real estate market collapsed. Trump had hired E.J. Ridings as CEO of Trump Mortgage and boasted that Ridings had been a “top executive of one of Wall Street’s most prestigious investment banks.” Turned out Ridings had only six months of experience as a stockbroker. Trump Mortgage closed and never paid a $298,274 judgment it owed a former employee, nor the $3,555 it owed in unpaid taxes.
  7. Trump Steaks — Trump closed Trump Steaks due to a lack of sales while owing Buckhead Beef $715,000.
  8. Trump’s Travel SiteGoTrump.com was in business for one year. Failed.
  9. Trumpnet — A telephone communication company that abandoned its trademark.
  10. Trump Tower Tampa — Trump sold his name to the developers and received $2 million. Then the project went belly-up with only $3,500 left in the company. Condo buyers sued Trump for allegedly misleading them. Trump settled and paid as little as $11,115 to buyers who had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
  11. Trump University or the Trump Entrepreneur Initiative — Trump staged wealth-building seminars costing up to $34,995 for mentorships that would offer students access to Trump’s secrets of success. Instructors turned out to be motivational speakers sometimes with criminal records. Lawsuits and criminal investigations abound.
  12. Trump Vodka — Business failed due to a lack of sales.
  13. Trump Fragrances — Success by Trump, Empire by Trump, and Donald Trump: The Fragrances all failed due to being discontinued, perhaps as a result of few sales.
  14. Trump Mattress — Serta stopped offering a Trump-branded mattress, again likely due to slacking sales.
  15. Truth Social — This existing Trump business owes big money, and may well be breathing its last.

He’s slapped his name on all sorts of failed garbage.

The only thing that stuck and became successful? A stolen slogan slapped on a bunch of China-made goods for his underlings to buy and show off their unwavering worship.

That’s why I like Trump. He’s not shrewd. He just tells it like he sees it with no teleprompter and no filter. He is innocent in a way. It’s so refreshing, even when he says something goofy like today when he said he wanted to be the pope.

I can’t help but like him.
