OFFICIAL LRC President Donald Trump SECOND TERM Thread

Doesn't make sense to bomb Venezuelans while handing out $20 billion in soy sauce welfare to Argentinians. Argentinians are far higher on the scumbag scale than Venezuelans. Furthermore, our junkies get 75% of their fish scale cocaine from Argentina.

well to be fair, there is the whole 'executing people at sea' thing that gets in the way of peace prizes and the like.

And the first non-peaceful transfer of power in American history of course.

Which will we attack first? Norway or Venezuela? Norway, better do a hotel deal with trump so he can direct usa foreign policy to help you.

market has crashed 2.3% today.

I was looking at Tesla at 10:30 and it was up a bit. Same with indices and others I was looking at. What caused it?

I am sure that Whisky Pete will only select highly vetted high value military targets for the most powerful military in history to strike. So it won't be small speed boats like they have been vaporizing. It will likely be larger shrimp boats which we know are the true threat to this country.

Actually - found it.

Why Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Is Trading Lower Today

Shares of leading designer of graphics chips Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) fell 3% in the afternoon session after the threat of a 'massive increase' in tariffs on Chinese goods by President Donald Trump, reignited fears of a trade war...

Again, this is the one thing that Trump would be better to be a bit more restrained on. That's basically his only big flaw though - too quick to threaten tariffs to powerful countries like China (or other important countries that make things we need).

"In a social media post, Trump described China as becoming 'hostile,' sending a ripple of concern through the market. The semiconductor sector, which relies heavily on global supply chains and sales in China, was hit particularly hard. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index dropped 3.4% following the announcement. This development adds to existing tensions, including Beijing's recent expansion of export controls on rare earths and an antitrust probe into Qualcomm's acquisition of Autotalks. Investors are showing caution as the prospect of escalating trade disputes between the world's two largest economies could disrupt production and demand for chipmakers."

"Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile, and sending letters to Countries throughout the World, that they want to impose Export Controls on each and every element of production having to do with Rare Earths, and virtually anything else they can think of, even if it’s not manufactured in China. Nobody has ever seen anything like this but, essentially, it would “clog” the Markets, and make life difficult for virtually every Country in the World, especially for China. We have been contacted by other Countries who are extremely angry at this great Trade hostility, which came out of nowhere. Our relationship with China over the past six months has been a very good one, thereby making this move on Trade an even more surprising one. I have always felt that they’ve been lying in wait, and now, as usual, I have been proven right! There is no way that China should be allowed to hold the World “captive,” but that seems to have been their plan for quite some time, starting with the “Magnets” and, other Elements that they have quietly amassed into somewhat of a Monopoly position, a rather sinister and hostile move, to say the least. But the U.S. has Monopoly positions also, much stronger and more far reaching than China’s. I have just not chosen to use them, there was never a reason for me to do so — UNTIL NOW! The letter they sent is many pages long, and details, with great specificity, each and every Element that they want to withhold from other Nations. Things that were routine are no longer routine at all. I have not spoken to President Xi because there was no reason to do so. This was a real surprise, not only to me, but to all the Leaders of the Free World. I was to meet President Xi in two weeks, at APEC, in South Korea, but now there seems to be no reason to do so. The Chinese letters were especially inappropriate in that this was the Day that, after three thousand years of bedlam and fighting, there is PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I wonder if that timing was coincidental? Dependent on what China says about the hostile “order” that they have just put out, I will be forced, as President of the United States of America, to financially counter their move. For every Element that they have been able to monopolize, we have two. I never thought it would come to this but perhaps, as with all things, the time has come. Ultimately, though potentially painful, it will be a very good thing, in the end, for the U.S.A. One of the Policies that we are calculating at this moment is a massive increase of Tariffs on Chinese products coming into the United States of America. There are many other countermeasures that are, likewise, under serious consideration. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"

MIT, China, and the S&P all told Trump to go f*ck himself today.

Just doesn’t sound peace-prizey to me:

They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7, there's a glass door, and officers just always standing, like sitting out there, the psychiatric nurse comes and checks on me once a day, and so from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon when I'm released, I'm literally on In that cell, naked just in that room, with the light on this real, like this is a nightmare."
@Timodc talked to a veteran and American citizen who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

Rest in Power.

I believe in god, but the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze and Presidents who continue to make deals with Islamic terrorists that compromise national security and our nation's moral foundations and Presidents who store classified documents in bathrooms and lie about it to the American public.

I'm also scared about the upcoming bar tab at today's happy hour. My guys are in a hyper mood for some reason and acting very thirsty-like. Some of them may pull a Hegsmiff. I've seen it before. I've even done it myself before. It's not good, man.

I'd stick around, but right now I gotta bail . . . .

You have a front row seat back in 1776. enjoy the experience.

It’s coming out now that a high percentage of Ices “made for TV” brutal arrests” are all released later because they are simply American citizens that aren’t Caucasians and don’t have papers to prove it on site.All Because Ice is an incompetently run organization full of Jan 6th proud boy type goons.

But those arrested are left with humiliation, injuries, broken car windows and front doors.

Murica!

you know that a huge catalyst for the revolution was to take off tariffs imposed on US citizens, right? that crack into whatever is beneath your little red party cap?

Again. It's not targeting non-whites. How many blacks have been targeted by ICE? Not many since we don't have many black illegal immigrants. Nor whites, for that matter.

If the large majority of illegal immigrants are Hispanic (which is true), most people caught up by ICE will be Hispanic. If you're Hispanic and born here (or are a naturalized citizen) you have nothing to fear - you might be questioned for a bit but then released. Who's more likely to be an illegal immigrant: John Smith, Maurice Washington, or Jose Perez? You know the answer. And I'm not saying to profile anyone who looks "brown" but if you conduct targeted ICE raids that's who you'll mostly catch.

New York Times:

"A review by The New York Times of publicly reported cases and court records found that since January, at least 15 U.S. citizens have been arrested or detained and questioned about their citizenship by immigration agents or local law enforcement officers enlisted to work with the federal authorities."

That is 15 over 9 months. Fewer than 2 per month. And the people mentioned in the article were detained for a few hours and then released when it was shown they were citizens. It's not great that they were detained but it's so rare, and they were also quickly released.

One four hour protest that he wasn't directly involved in (from 2021!) should have no bearing on 2025. Trump brought peace to the Middle East - and he's the only person who could.

Lol
