OFFICIAL LRC President Donald Trump SECOND TERM Thread

God your so dumb, you believe everything they tell you.

"The Department of Homeland Security had to fix its website showing the “worst of the worst” arrested immigrants after the agency incorrectly described hundreds of them.
After launching the website last December, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and the White House have cited it as evidence that its immigration crackdown was working. However, a CNN review of the site found numerous errors in the descriptions of those arrested, prompting an acknowledgment from DHS."

Apparently he really thinks that’s what their role is. Has a President ever been more clueless?

A lot of p!ssed off business types out there want their tariff money back. I'm hearing more complaints and it's only been a day. It's hard to tell people that they are more likely to get the $20 billion back from the banana losers in Argentina than getting a dime back from Trump. There is no way Trump is going to give Americans the money he took back. In fact, he's raising tariffs on everyone now. Hold onto your socks, because he's going on a tax rampage. He's that angry.

“The Supreme Court is undermining the rule of law”. Joe Biden

”The Supreme Court has reversed a century of law”. Barack Obama

I could go on but it’s pretty much what every President has done. Do you have anything serious to contribute?

Marjorie TRAITOR Brown. She was disloyal on the Epstein files release.

Trump needs to come up with some names for the Supreme Court guy. Like "Justice GorSUCK" or something. I think MAGA would enjoy that. Amy BONEy Barrett. Justice LOSER Roberts. Stuff like that.

My new hero is United States Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and, of course, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that they want to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Easiest question to answer on this board.

No. It is the only thing he wins at.

The Clueless Award

Trump won 3 elections, the FIFA Peace Prize, the Israel Peace Prize, and the Champion of Coal award.

He also won the heart of Melania and many other of the World’s most beautiful women.

It’s an indefensible opinion for a President to have.

trump's view of the presidency is the same as his view of how a small family business should be run: One guy is in charge, puts his name on the door and makes all the decisions.

we know he believes Putin and Xi and the NK guy get to do that, and he gets angry when he can't. Piggie admires tyrants for how 'strong' they are.

Trump's view of government is authoritarianism.

Six (6) people p!ss Trump off, so he takes his anger out on everyone else with massive new taxes. Reminds me of my navy basic training days when one guy would screw up and our cc would punish us all with a raft of punitive sh!t. He never fined us all 10%, though. That would have been too fvcked up, even for him. Probably illegal too.

the amusing part is that this new 10% tariff is counterproductive and just a tax on America.

the old tariffs were meant to be specific country-by-country tariffs to punish them for 'abusing America.'

this new blanket 10% tariff on every nation is an admission that trump isn't using emergency powers to cure specific trade offenses by other nations. Because every nation has the same new 10%.

the new 10% tariff is only to put money in the US treasury (and to stick a middle finger at the world. )

As we know, the Constitution says taxing is exclusively the right of congress.

so probably this will be challenged in court too as an unconstitutional tax on America.

Trump is a legal idiot. as he is an idiot at everything except getting away with crimes.

A blanket 10% tariff is an incredible idea. Prices will barely go up and it’ll raise a lot of revenue.

Here's stories about three American businesses that stood up to Trump and his arbitrary taxes. They were plaintiffs in the cases just decided by the SCOTUS. MAGAs should read it and consider what these brave, capitalist entrepreneurs have to say about the hardships they faced with Trump's taxes and the harassment they have faced from Trump and the MAGAs for pursuing legal remedies to Trump's illegal taxes.

When President Donald Trump announced plans to raise the nation’s effective tariff rate to levels not seen since 1930 on April 2, 2025, most CEOs were silent. They’d seen how voicing opposition to any of the president’s ambit...

I'm sure there are tens of thousands of awful stories from American small businesses like this. Trump was going after people's livelihoods. History will not be kind to Trump and his infliction of massive taxes.

And - it’s 15% now. 32 minutes ago:

Based on a thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday, after MANY months of contemplation, by the United States Supreme Court, please let this statement serve to represent that I, as President of the United States of America, will be, effective immediately, raising the 10% Worldwide Tariff on Countries, many of which have been “ripping” the U.S. off for decades, without retribution (until I came along!), to the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level. During the next short number of months, the Trump Administration will determine and issue the new and legally permissible Tariffs, which will continue our extraordinarily successful process of Making America Great Again - GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

WHAT?????

A Republican for new taxes on Americans???

and furthermore, you are arguing that raising tax rates increases tax revenue?????

for 50 years Republicans said 'no new taxes' and 'higher taxes results in lower tax revenue.'

you have rejected both of those. You want new taxes AND you think that will bring in tax revenue.

good god man you are practically a Democrat at this point. Sounds like you want to college and stuff.

If it’s such an incredible idea, why didn’t too-late Trump do it in the first place?

Also, 90% of the revenue raised comes from Americans paying more.

Over the course of 2025, the average tariff rate on U.S. imports increased from 2.6 to 13 percent. In this blog post, we ask how much of the tariffs were paid by the U.S., using import data through November 2025. We find that...
