In the latest dumb sh!t from Trump that his followers just won't admit to realizing....
"Oh yea, this trade deal with Canada is so terrible, I don't know who created it, but it is a bad deal and needs to be redone."
**checks notes**
Trump created that deal in 2018!!
Example 1 of 3894034 of where he lies, deceives, misinforms, disinforms, etc., etc.....yet his sheep followers will defend him to the ends of the earth convinced he's "their guy!". What dopes.
REPORTER: Yes or no, do you believe the US should take control of Gaza? MIKE JOHNSON: We await further details on what exactly that looks like. This is a bold, decisive move, and I think you have to do something to eradicate the threat to Israel.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- At 47%, President Donald Trump's initial job approval rating for his second term is similar to the inaugural 45% reading during his first term, again placing him below all other elected presidents dating back to 1953.
The 538 poll-of-polls concurs, with 46.9%. Gallup has a proven track record and of course has been around much longer, but I still think 538 is our best bet going forward.
A week before his inauguration, President Trump came his closest yet to having a favorability greater than his unfavorability (i.e. no longer being "underwater"); he's still not there, but getting close. Whether he'll get to 50%, which never happened in his first term, remains to be seen, but I think overall he's doing a bit better this time around--which would make some sense, given that he won a plurality of the popular vote this time.
And you have to give him and his team some credit: They're providing plenty of distraction from the fact that prices (food, gasoline, other) are not going down. They seem to have good instincts about setting the terms for the debate, and will be ready to jump in when prices (at least for eggs and gas) do go down, as they almost inevitably will.
Very soon we are going to see things done by the Trump admin that nobody would have imagined possible in this country.
Trump may well be firing thousands of FBI agents. 42 % of the FBI is estimated to have had a role in the Jan 6th investigation. Which was the largest investigation in DOJ history. When I say had a role, that could simply mean an agent in a field office in Alabama shared information with an agent in Washington. All these public employees are guaranteed due process and must be fired for cause. Trump and Patel will not care because these are internal FBI policies which he will rewrite.
This is nothing new for historians. Authoritarians hollow out all institutions to be remade in the corrupt image of the dear leader.
Here is my prediction. When this happens Trumpers will not have a problem with it. Just like they have no problem with Musk seizing control of the nations federal payment systems.
Keep in mind, if Musk was concerned with fraud or overspending he would not bother with the department that pays the bills. They make zero decisions. He would be dealing with the institutions that decide who gets paid. It is a corrupt take over of the federal government and Musk views seizing the payment system as the most streamlined way to do it.

yeah we should not be surprised by any of this. Except the 'I think we should now invade four nations.' That's some seriously weird stuff.
Trump is doing what he and project 2025 said he'd do. And doing what America voted him to do. Not surprising trumpers are welcoming all this. This is what they were told and this is what they voted for.
This is who we are as a nation, like it or not. We voted away our rule of law republic and are welcoming in something else, led by the massively corrupt DJT.

One slight positive. If you want to call it that.
Very soon we will move beyond talking about authoritarian rule in the abstract. Half the country doesn’t know what it is and has been conditioned not to learn what it is by an echo chamber that says it’s “fake news”. Or by saying “ Oh yeah, Biden is worse”. Completely oblivious.
America will now know through experience what corrupt authoritarian rule with no checks on power does to the country.

relatedly, we were told tariffs would bring on a golden age of American prosperity, but trump won't give us tariffs.
More red states threatened by Trump! Why does he hate red states so much?
According to a report from the Education Data Initiative, public education funding varies significantly across states. K-12 schools in Alaska receive the most federal funding per pupil, followed by North Dakota. ... Wealthier states such as New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut receive the least federal funding per pupil, often below $2,500.
Why so angry? I am a flower child. Just want peace and happiness.
Why are you not angry? You were duped.
I am happy. Why are you not happy? Our border is secured, we are throwing out the illegal violent criminals, and doing so many other wonderful things. Why are you angry? Joe Biden and Kamala did nothing.
USAID gave $27 million to the George Soros prosecutor fund.
- $1.5m to Serbian DEI programs - $70k for a DEI musical in Ireland - $47k for Colombian trans operas - $32k for Peruvian trans comics for kids
USAID is DONE!
Winning & lib heads continue to explode,
It's funny how liberals constantly whine about historical "imperialism" yet want to promote their woke cultural imperialism.
Oh, I see, you're confused. Let me clarify imperialism and not imperialism.
Imperialism: Trump on Greenland, Panama, Mexico, Canada, and Gaza. ESPECIALLY Gaza.
Not imperialism: Spending virtual peanuts in some places in what is probably a vain attempt to.....see IF you can understand this....Not hate other people for no good reason.
Clear enough? Kind of embarrassing that you needed the lesson, but if you understand it now, good.
Oh, and speaking of "vain attempt," let me remind you freakin' moran Trumpers for the millionth time that all of the people here who think your HUGE idiots are not liberals. As I typed the above, the phrase "do-gooder crap" came to mind. I have fairly little doubt that USAID does some silly-ass, wasteful crap. But I have a brain. And I can easily imagine that the good way outweighs that. And.....get THIS one....I can think that a lot of "liberal" things are dumb and STILL see Trump for what he is.
Really, really sad - and now tragic - that tens of millions of Americans can't pull off that REALLY, REALLY simple thing.
