OFFICIAL LRC President Donald Trump SECOND TERM Thread

“In 1951, Eccles leaked the Fed's view on a White House pressure campaign to keep rates low. (Truman accused the FOMC of jeapordizing the fight against communism!) The eventual result was the 1951 Fed-Treasury Accord giving the Fed operational independence in monetary policy.”

“In 1971, Nixon engineered a pressure campaign to stimulate the economy ahead of his reelection. This time, Burns acquiesced, with disastrous consequences. The Powell 2026 episode belongs with these historical earthquakes. So far, he has followed the Eccles route.”

There's a reason these MAGA idiots are fighting so hard for "childhood innocence".

As a reminder, that account used to be called something along the lines of Kamala's wins (or Harris' wins) but then rebranded after she lost in such a historic landslide.

Stephen Miller on Minneapolis: "This is clearly an insurgency against the federal government"

The guy who incited an insurrection to overturn an election he knows he lost is going to use the insurrection act to suspend an election he knows his party is going to lose.

Trump: ‘To brave protestors in Iran, I have your back!’
KSA & Qatar: ‘Not so fast, fat boy, we pay your family billions. We prefer to keep the current regime in place…’
Trump: ‘F*ck you Minnesota, I’m sending in the troops…this is war!’

So?

This is elementary level gibberish.

Name change. Classic.

She lost in every swing state, made the DNC pay for her campaign debt, spent billions on her campaign including paying millions to rappers, then wrote a book blaming everyone else for her loss and recently purchased an $8M house in Malibu. Classy.

Scott Lincicome:

— “My inaugural Bloomberg @opinion column examines how US tariffs, meant to boost domestic manufacturing, actually hobbled it last year - and why we should expect similar headwinds in 2026.“ You can follow his reasoning in the actual piece.

I see Lincicome as a bright, well informed guy who has had a pretty consistent stance on economic issues, with a strong career-long habit of exposing foolishness in tons of Democrat economic policies.

Some here may just see him as being biased toward the administration (primarily because that seems to be their MO any time anyone levels criticism at the administration) or at least as someone who has been speaking against tariffs for so long that he is either (a) doing it as a knee-jerk reaction or (b) is straining to keep arguing that he’s been correct all along.

When I’ve viewed his takes on these mattes, it seems that he’s largely been correct.

So no matter how you might expect to view him, if you’d come down on the other side of the issue from him, I’d like to know precise, well-reasoned replies to his charges, drawing on clear facts from commonly accepted sources (rather than cherry-picked, clearly biased stuff).

My general take initially would be that it would be unreasonable to expect significant changes in US manufacturing capability in 2025-2026 (but that would be part of the overall key reasoning regarding problems with tariffs rather than merely an excuse in their favor), but he’s smart enough to know that, and although I know how many bright people view this, I’m not sure how some of you do. So if you have a reasonable take (yes, I’m realllllyyyy not holding my breath), that would be great.

gibberish: unintelligible or meaningless speech or writing

elementary: straightforward and uncomplicated

So, elementary to anybody with a IQ over 30, but unintelligible to you?

FOX BUSINESS: What can we anticipate from Trump's Davos speech?

HASSETT: There's gonna be some look at the new world order that President Trump is creating

Just like that MAGA turds cheering for the new world order.

America First is so yesterday.

Hilarious that you think I am gnarly, Trump 2028 and 12 other people. Just hilarious. I am just little old Sally V. No one else.

The deportations aren't the issue.

I mean, as just “little old Sally V.” you strike me as more or less the Three Faces of Eve, but OK, I’ll buy that.
