OFFICIAL LRC President Donald Trump SECOND TERM Thread

Trump was Wharton's best student ever and his net worth nearly doubled in the last year. I would model a business after him or Elon.

Time is running out on Iran.

Sweet - another week of increasing oil prices and decreasing equity returns.

RINO policies

I don't get it. What's wrong with someone going to Disney Land while the country is at war? Why is that bad when the country is at war?

Where else can't you go when the country is at war? Hockey games? Burger King? Graceland? Fishmongers? TACO night at Mar-Logo? How the fvck do we know what is an appropriate destination when the country is at war? Jesus Christ.

'Equity cards' arguments take over NDP Leadership Convention: 'CANADA IS COOKED'

The delegates with their equity cards seemed more interested in conveying why they were holding said cards. Read more on the social videos.

As you already know, the New Democrat Party over the weekend elected a new leader in Avi Lewis.

But prior to him stepping into Jagmeet Singh’s Gucci loafers, there were some other events that took place during the NDP Leadership Convention in Winnipeg.

Equity cards were handed out to delegates based on identity categories including gender, race and ethnicity, LGBTQ+ and Indigenous status, and those cards — in various colours such as pink, yellow and green — allowed them to jump the line to ensure equitable representation in debates.

However, instead of debating on issues such as the cost of living, inflation, unemployment rates, the health-care system, or crime, the delegates with their equity cards seemed more interested in conveying why they were holding said cards.

One video posted to social media shows a person holding up their green gender equity card, claiming to be next to speak, while another woman responded holding up her pink race equity card, noting that it had been previously used inappropriately and that cards for people who identify as Black women “have no value outside of this space.”

...

The speaker didn’t help with moderating the more frivolous battles.

In one instance, one delegate gained applause after making an impassioned speech against involvement in the war in Iran.

However, the speaker was cheered on after she reprimanded the delegate for misgendering the speaker, who identifies as “non-binary.”

To model Trump you need to find a new daddy. To model Elon you need to go to Canada.

Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P futures all up 1.11-1.13% premarket. Panicans devastated.

Elon told us that Trump was in the Epstein Files, he was correct.

What Elon never told us was that he was also in the Epstein Files and begged Epstein to visit his pedophile island one Christmas.

Thanks, Bondie.

The bullet that killed Charles Kirk does not match defendant Robinson's alleged gun. Anyone paying attention to this case is not surprised. There had to be other more sophisticated parties involved, either the Mormon Church (LSD) or Israel (Mossad). Israel certainly had the motive, the opportunity, the poise and the moxie (schutzpah) to assassinate Kirk on American soil.

And forgotten: The bullet that shot trump in the face (per the trump updated fbi report) has never been found.

Aren't they all on vacation? Call him out fine, what are the rest of these people doing though? In somewhat related news meet Loser thomas haynes, the mainstream media will be Crickets about this but not here. No sir........

The Manosphere Turns on Trump

How many times can a coalition crack before it shatters?

Schulz voted for Trump in 2024, after having him on the podcast—a move that angered a lot of liberals. But the 42-year-old comedian was never what one might call “full MAGA,” and he isn’t explicitly Republican. Instead, Schulz is representative of a not-insignificant slice of Trump’s voting base: nonideological guys who love free speech and are drawn to politicians who seem anti-establishment and, maybe more important, anti-woke. (The podcaster-comedians Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Tim Dillon, and Dave Smith all fit somewhere in this camp.) With their help, Trump pulled off his improbable comeback.

But a lot has changed since November 2024. Schulz and many of his fellow manosphere commentators seem to feel—by varying degrees—duped by the president they helped elect. Some have been airing those grievances for months, starting with Trump's handling of the Epstein files and, later, the killing of American citizens at the hands of federal agents in Minneapolis. To Schulz and others like him, a brand-new war in the Middle East is a betrayal so massive, you almost have to laugh. “The only shot you have at a good life right now is to hasten the rapture,” Dillon, another podcaster and comedian, said on a recent show. “The foreign and economic policy of our country currently is the rapture.”

”One Year On: The Greatest Economic Own Goal in Living Memory
A year ago, Donald Trump stood in the Rose Garden, surrounded by charts nobody understood, and declared war on mathematics. He called it Liberation Day. The Financial Times, along with every economist who has read more than a bus ticket, is marking the anniversary with a verdict that should be carved into marble: it failed. On every single front. Spectacularly. Completely. Embarrassingly.
Let us be precise about this.
Measured against Trump’s own three stated goals, making foreigners pay for doing business with America, narrowing the trade deficit, and punishing China, the tariffs have clearly failed. Not partially failed. Not failed with asterisks. Failed the way a man fails when he drives a Reliant Robin onto a motorway and acts surprised when it rolls.
And everyone said so. Economists said so. Trading partners said so. His own party said so. The entire field of international trade theory, developed over roughly two centuries by people who actually read things, screamed it from the rooftops. But Donald Trump, a man whose relationship with economics appears to consist entirely of gut feeling and cable television and 6 casino bankruptcies knew better.
The average American household paid an extra $1,700 due to tariffs. Over 65 percent of Americans reported that everyday goods became significantly less affordable. This is what happens when you run the world’s largest economy on instinct and vibes.
One year after the Rose Garden ceremony, factory jobs are down and inflation is up. The precise opposite of what was promised. With extraordinary confidence.
Then the lawyers arrived.
The Supreme Court found that Trump had exceeded his authority, ruling that the declared emergency bore no rational connection to the trade measures imposed. In other words, the legal foundation was nonsense. The government had collected $166 billion in tariffs from over 330,000 businesses on grounds the Supreme Court found unconstitutional. The refund process is now underway. One hundred and sixty-six billion dollars. Collected illegally. From American businesses.
The financial markets, bless them, responded with the only appropriate tool available: mockery. The meme “Trump Always Chickens Out” refuses to go away, and the TACO index is now actively used by analysts to price in the president’s chronic habit of retreating.
Every serious voice warned this would happen. Trade economists. Former Treasury secretaries. The IMF. The WTO. The EU. Canada. Japan. Basically anyone who had spent more than forty minutes studying how global trade actually works. The man who ignored all of them had previously run a casino into bankruptcy and considered that a learning experience.
He was not, it turns out, a fast learner.
One year. Zero of three goals achieved. One Supreme Court ruling. One $170 billion refund. One economy paying more for everything and making less of it.
Liberation Day. What a name for it.

BREAKING: The average price of a gallon of gas in America just passed $4.00.
It’s now $4.01 per gallon.

MAGA: It is worth it to get that Straight opened up again.

Will US go down like the Roman Empire? What I find stupid about the whole thing is that US themselves are destroying the country. The problem with Republicans are that they are easy to fool. In Mensa we say that the smartest person is the one who learns from other's. For example if Finland is on top of Happiness-index, then everyone should learn from them.

It's just like running. People are copying the best people. Look at all the people doing double thresholds now. Republicans don't understand that. Some people are more prone than others to need solutions. People with those brains needs to have solutions for everything- and find them quickly. But they often search in the wrong places

The Mormons?

relatedly, Trump's approval rating crashed through 40% for the first time this term. 39.9%

Piggie is bad at being president. We told you so.
