OFFICIAL LRC President Donald Trump SECOND TERM Thread

the best way I have heard it described is "an unprecedented orgy of corruption" occurring in this administration.

And here is something that is not being discussed much. Both Eric Trump, Donald Jr and Lara Trump have said publicly that everything they are doing is fully justified in their minds because "They" tried to bankrupt Trump and put him out of business.

Without even addressing the fallacy of that charge, they are essentially saying that we need to steal and loot this country in ways you can only imagine because we deserve it. And we many not be able to do so 4 years down the road.

This is not how any of this works.

No, they don't.

I could give an endless list of right-wingers that don't.

You already know the names, I'm sure.

Anyway, Candace would like a word with you, for starters.

REPORTER: Mr President, out of the 35,000 lies you’ve told, what is your favorite?

TRUMP: I don’t lie.

REPORTER: That’s my favorite too.

but the libs have cried, so by magas's POV Trump is the best president ever.

and without jobs and living in poor red states with nothing to do, they have plenty of time to celebrate Piggie's success at making people cry.

Liz Cheney: “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”

^^^^^^^

Quotes a rapist quoting an enemy murderer with approval. Thinks he's being profound and provocative.

Those minors that Tate raped are broken.

TODAY!! OH, BOY!!!

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in a Vanity Fair Interview: "[Trump] has an alcoholic's personality. ... He operates [with] a view that there's nothing he can't do. Nothing, zero, nothing." ... Such a personality type is something she became familiar with as a child, living with an alcoholic father, Wiles said.

Susie Wiles says Trump has an ‘alcoholic’s personality’

The president is a teetotaler, telling Fox News in 2016 that he’s ‘never had a drink’

I forgot to add: I have an alcoholic brother. After a drink he would lie when asked a question. It did not matter what the questions, a lie was required to provide himself an out if he ever needed that later on. I could not count the number the number of lies he told. The the ones that stood out the most was his endless need for money.

what the questions > what the question was

BARTIROMO: How is it possible that Democrats are winning the messaging argument on affordability?
BESSENT: A lot of it is the mainstream media. What we in this administration are not going to do is what the Biden administration did and tell the American people they don't know what they're feeling.
TRUMP: Affordability is a hoax. Anyone that says differently is wrong. Prices are down on everything. This economy is the greatest in history.

Unfortunately, of course, dishonorable people don’t worry about dishonor.

But as I’ve mentioned before, I do often wonder about their families, both immediate and extended. In this case, and perhaps more likely, extended family. I wonder how often the college-aged (stereotypically strident) outspoken niece or nephew has blurted out at the Thanksgiving get together, “Uncle John, why the f*** are you such an unprincipled coward with Trump?!”

Trump 2.0 Badness Barometer: It appears that ER spends increasingly little time playing around as MAGA idiot.

Makes sense.

Reminder: Jared and some real estate guy are in the lead for the US on negotiating the future of Ukraine.

I can’t BEGIN to imagine how much that must MASSIVELY piss off the average Ukrainian.

And while there are pissed off at Trump selling their sovereignty to Putin for financial gain, they have the added joy of listening to Trump saying Ukrainian voices need to be heard in a Presidential election. A Putin talking point to install a pro Russian hack instead of Zelenskyy.

Jared is operating as a private citizen. His being involved in government affairs with a foreign country makes him a illegal foreign agent since Congress has not approved his involvement.

Add to Javanka's illegal foreign work: Gaza and the attempt to force a sale of CNN to Arab interests.

October numbers are distorted by government shut down related unemployment claims. Job numbers from November rebounded. But overall, the job market has gone from consistently seeing gains of 150k to over 300k in non-farm payroll to alternating between weak gains in the tens of thousands and months with losses in the tens of thousands.

This is the worst job market since COVID. Compared to the layoffs of the 90s, 80s recessions and 70s stagflation, it is still a solid job market. But it is now clearly going in the wrong direction.

Those are seasonal, holiday-related hires. Which means the job market is really, really not doing well.
