Have you notice that almost all of Trump's Anti China rhetoric has almost completely ceased? His immediate 25% tariffs are now a "maybe 10% some day" tariff. Any idea why?
Elon Mush! His biggest Tesla factory is in China. He is deep intertwined financially in China. He is a pure 100% Globalist.
You didn't really believe that Trump's international crime syndicate masquerading as a government really cared about which country pays them. Did you really believe that bunk you heard on Bannon's show?
sheesh.
Let's not ignore the fact that most of the crap that DJT is hawking also is made in China.
[Aside: If any other former POTUS and/or presidential candidate was flogging random merch, wouldn't you think that was unbelievably tacky? How does Trump get a pass?]

trump saves almost all his bullying for our allies, not hostile nations.
trump admires dictators too much to attack them. And trump is too scared of them.
trump knows he can push around democracies, but he also knows he can't push around dictatorships.
He sees democracies as fundamentally weak and deserving of beta status. And this is how all dictators see democracies. They always see democracies as weak, soft , decadent and pusharoundable. Trump is just another in a long line of leaders who think that way.
Another fact-free post. But, hey, it makes for a great story. 😂

Trump dropped most of the concept of ethics for incoming administration members, didn't he?
I assume he wants to be unfettered by any ethical constraints.
I assume that is also why he is the first president to refuse to disclose his financial interests or to divest himself of them to avoid the shadow of impropriety.
I tend to assume that is why he is firing all the Inspectors General--to get rid of ethical constraints, to allow corruption to run more rampant.
In Trump 1.0 he fired many department heads and installed incompetent loyalists. This accelerated after he lost the 2020 election. Smarter people than Trump realized that you can't just replace the heads of institutions. You must also replace all middle management. Middle management are the ones that might recognize corrupt and unlawful orders coming from the top. And they would not allow the employees to implement. They are loyal to the department and it's policies.
Trump is taking a wrecking ball to this class this time. Inspector Generals are supposed to be independent watchdogs for the tax payers. Trump needs those gone asap. Nobody is independent. They must all be loyal to Trump.
Frightened Employees are now buying Trump crypto and Trump campaign stuff to prove they are loyal so they will not be on the chopping block. Dictators do not need to use the military to take over. They do it this way.

Yes, yes he is. And the Republican Party encourages him to be as unethical as he can, because trump delivered elections. So awful.
trump is the first leader in a long time who hasn't even tried to evoke justice or reason to get what he wants internationally. Just 'I want that, I should be richer, I'll take it. '
even hitler said he was trying to save europe from communists and jews so he had to invade it to save it. Trump just says ' I want that.'
Sickening and degenerate.

I am a business owner, gun owner, investor, major believer that Western Civ needs to be protected and nurtured, eye-raiser at many 'woke' campus-style politics, against over regulation, skeptic of affirmative action , etc.
I just can't vote for trump or trump supporters. Trump is the worst thing to happen to this nation since vietnam.
Republicans / Trumpers: will you post your 'maverick' beliefs?
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias Trump’s been president for one week and already my 401(k) is down, eggs cost more than ever, and America has lost its lead in artificial intelligence.
Why are all conservatives roided up bald guys or fat boomers with goatees
Beats me. My male running friends that are libs have facial hair and look like they need a haircut and a shower. My running friends that are conservative are clean shaven, look like they wash their hair and shower.
I have to agree women from the 1970s were far prettier. No tats or disgusting piercings.

Trump is not a fascist. A fascist demands ultra loyalty to the state. Trump doesn’t care about the state. You will never hear Trump demanding loyalty to the US.
Trump is a modern day autocrat that is loyal to the $$. He is joined with a transnational Crime syndicate that do not have borders nor care about nationalism. Prince, Manafort, Russian Oligarchs, Netanyahu, Musk etc. . This is who Trump answers to today.
Their goal? If it ain’t nailed down, it is for sale.

Overturning Roe was what should have happened (as Ginsburg would agree) and it should be sent back to the states or illegal after 12 or so weeks (like the European laws).
Racism exists but I also think certain cultural traits cause far more harm than that or police brutality. There are certain ethnicities that perform well even though the group(s) as a whole perform relatively poorly which makes me very skeptical of the claims of systemic racism -
Affirmative action should be about class not race.
Welfare should exist but shouldn't be permanent - only for people actually down on their luck, not because of their own choices.
Don't care about weed but am tired of smelling it - do that in your own house. I can tolerate 'LGB' as long as you don't act like a walking stereotype
Not a huge fan of how Trump acts but I think he's MUCH better than the alternative.
Mentally ill nutjobs who can’t function without a massive pipeline of hormones and other drugs compromise military readiness and lethality. https://t.co/vQxVs4Bv2M
