OFFICIAL LRC President Donald Trump SECOND TERM Thread

He’s an idiot. Embarrassing!

Welcome to this year’s World Economic Forum with truly phenomenal news from America. Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of my inauguration, and today, after 12 months back in the White House, our economy is booming, growth is exploding, productivity is surging, investment is soaring, incomes are rising, inflation has been defeated, our previously open and dangerous border is closed and virtually impenetrable, and the United States is in the midst of the fastest and most dramatic economic turnaround in our country’s history.

Just over one year ago, under the radical-left Democrats, we were a dead country. Now we are the hottest country anywhere in the world. In fact, the United States economy is on pace to grow at double the rate that was projected by the IMF just last April. And with my growth and tariff policies, it should be much higher. I really believe we can be much higher than that.

I agree with this one. Get people off the street.

Trump isn't always wrong even though he hates democracy, the bible and the Constitution.

In one year, our agenda has produced a transformation like America has not seen in over 100 years.

Instead of closing down energy plants, we’re opening them up. Instead of building ineffective, money-losing windmills, we’re taking them down and not approving any. Instead of empowering bureaucrats, we’re firing them. And they’re going out and getting jobs in the private sector for two and three times what they were making in government. So they started off hating me when we fired them, and now they love me.

Instead of raising taxes on domestic producers, we’re lowering them and raising tariffs on foreign nations to pay for the damage that they’ve caused. In 12 months, we have removed over 270,000 bureaucrats from the federal payrolls, the largest single-year reduction in government employment since the end of World War II. We thought that was coming, but we had no choice. To make a country great, you can’t have all federal jobs.

AI autocorrect is the worst invention ever. Why doesn't put red squiggly lines under "assumed" errant words, like word apps have done for over 40 years, and let you decide what to "fix", and what to leave as-is?

This is real. Not fake.

Trump:

”But equally importantly, we're cracking down on more than $19 billion in fraud that was stolen by Somalian bandits. Can you believe that Somalian, they turned out to be higher IQ than we thought. We say these are low IQ people. How did they go into Minnesota and steal all that money? We have, you know, they’re pirates, they're good pirates, but we shoot them out of the water just like we shoot the drug boats out. They're not pirating too many boats lately, do you notice? When they go out into those boats, they want to take over a billion and a half dollar tanker, load it up with oil, and they say, "We're going to blow up your boat, they have powerful weapons." You hit the side of the boat, you blow the whole thing up. The insurance companies are petrified, so they say, "Just give them the boat, we'll give them money instead." And I don't do that. We blow them right to hell out of the water. We see them going out, we blow them out of the water. We don't have any pirates so much anymore. We do. They won't be there long. We've cut down with the hitting of the boats that are loaded up with drugs, including submarines. Can you believe they actually buy some, they call mini subs. very fast. They're meant for drugs. We've knocked out to them the Democrats. They were fishing. You have ruined somebody's fishing. We can't, I would say, a submarine is not a fishing boat. You don't fish. But we've knocked down drugs by water. The oceans, the sea, by 97.2%. Think of that. And I actually say, "Who the hell are the 3%?" Because I would not want to be piled in one of those boats. We knocked them down and now we're going to start on land. We're going to knock it all out. The land is the easy part. What we did on sea is incredible. And that's our great military.”

Venezuela has been an amazing place for so many years, but then they went bad with their policies. Ten years ago, it was a great country, and now it’s got problems. But we’re helping them. And those 50 million barrels, we’re going to be splitting up with them, and they’ll be making more money than they’ve made in a long time. Venezuela is going to do fantastically well. We appreciate all of the cooperation we’ve been giving. We’ve been giving great cooperation. Once the attack ended, the attack ended, and they said, “let’s make a deal.” More people should do that.

But Venezuela is going to make more money in the next six months than they’ve made in the last 20 years. Every major oil company is coming in with us. It’s amazing. It’s a beautiful thing to see. The leadership of the country has been very good. They’ve been very, very smart.

the thing I don't get is how some people view it as "compassionate" to let them do what they want. letting them sleep on the streets and just inject themselves with a ton of very harmful drugs - they live worse than dogs. Yet I have to pretend it's "compassionate" to let someone scream at a wall for 10 hours in a day and live outside in the cold and rain?

Market tanking after his embarrassing, nonsensical rant.

You know, Washington, D.C., is the safest place now in the United States. It was a very dangerous place to walk, and now you can walk with your wife, your kids, right through the middle of the city. Right now, Washington, D.C., is as safe as it gets. It was one of the most unsafe.

I had to admit we sent in the military, the National Guard. Within two months, it was great. Within three months, it’s like a really great place and a safe place and a beautiful place. It’s even been cleaned up. The graffiti is gone. Fences are gone. We don’t have to worry about fences anymore. All of the places, the grasses are cut and replaced with new grass in many cases. It’s all going to happen in the spring.

But Washington, D.C., is beautiful again, and it’s safe. New restaurants are opening up. They’re all closing. Now you can’t get into a restaurant. Restaurants in Washington, D.C., are all opening.

Memphis also. Memphis, Tennessee. New Orleans, Louisiana. We’re there for three weeks. We’ve cut the crime down by 64 percent within another month. Virtually no crime there. We can do that all over. We’re going to help the people in California.

We want to have no crime. I know Gavin was here. I used to get along so great with Gavin when I was president. Gavin’s a good guy, and if he needed it, I would do it in a heartbeat. I’d love to see. We did help them a lot in Los Angeles, a lot early in my term when they had some problems. But we would love to do it.

I will say this. If I were a Democrat governor or whatever, I would call up Trump. I’d say, come on in. Make us look good. Because we’re cutting crime down to nothing. And we’re taking people out, career criminals, who are only going to do bad things, and we’re bringing them back to their countries. But where we’ve done it, it’s been amazing. And we have a capacity to do it at much greater levels.

Sally, why hasn't egomaniac Trump framed his "degree" in a gold frame and put it up behind the Resolute Desk? A: Because he doesn't have one.

I don't think 'compassion' is the issue...

I think the issue is that forcing people into mental institutions is a fundamentally anti-freedom act. Feels very unAmerican.

We are taking peoples' rights away. Not letting them live as they wish.

It ticks off many Americans to have the state not let people live as they want to.

People both on the left and right share that gut feeling.

Balancing that is the right of people not to have to step in human poop and deal with crazy violent people on the street.

Not as easy a call as you are saying.

To be operated by Trump billionaire donors and staff by former ICE MAGAs. Sorry, but Saint Reagan sold off the government land long ago, to make sure those places could come back.

“So the gist of the speech here is that Trump isn't going to use "excessive force" to take Greenland. Instead he wants Denmark to give it to us because of past wars he dodged. And if they don't give it to us he will engage in economic war with our allies and tax our citizens.”

Q: What goals do you have for 2026 for Congress in terms of getting your agenda through?

TRUMP: I have great executive orders. Like, water coming out of a sink. The water wouldn't come out. They had all sorts of ridiculous restrictions. I took them off. Straws. They don't have to be paper anymore. I'd like to have that all confirmed by Congress.

“I’m genuinely baffled by the people who, once again, are trying to find triple layers of hidden meaning and some 5D mental chess behind Trump’s words.
“Why did he say he wouldn’t want to use military force to take Greenland? What made him change his mind and revise his tactics and strategy? Or is it a bluff, tossing the ball back into Europe’s court? Or a tactic to make everyone drop their guard?”
There’s nothing behind it. Not a fucqing thing.
Trump just generates random, disjointed phrases and sentences that contradict each other.
And tomorrow, in the next “speech,” he’ll deliver another tirade, swinging his vague rhetoric 180 degrees in the opposite direction”.

I believe that is likely the case.
