OFFICIAL LRC President Donald Trump SECOND TERM Thread

you're a clown. You complain about manufacturing jobs leaving the us, the CHIPS act helps bring back manufacturing jobs and you don't like it cause Trump didn't do it. f*ck off.

want to know why so many more Republicans than Democrats died from Covid?

A second child who was diagnosed with measles has died in Texas, marking another death in a growing measles outbreak that has so far sickened hundreds of people, hospitalized dozens and spread to nearby states.
The school-age child was being treated for measles-related complications at UMC Health System in Lubbock, Texas, said the health system’s spokesman, Aaron Davis. The child, who died Thursday, wasn’t vaccinated, didn’t have any known underlying health conditions and died of “measles pulmonary failure,” according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Look, the markets are terrible, but at least the wars in Ukraine and Gaza are over. And he didn’t pardon 1500 capital attacking criminals.

Yeah, but I’ll bet that he/she didn’t have autism !!

We are at mao, stalin, Lenin levels of stupidity here.

I really cannot think of another time in American history where a single person put the entire country into a recession because of his own stupidity.
Is there any other parallel?

Remember, it’s always best to have a business man as president. I heard that somewhere.

And strangely enough, numerous bankruptcies aren’t even a warning sign.

There are also some great guidelines for picking cabinet secretaries (also quite surprising), but I’ll spare you those, for now.

The closest I can come is a teenager with poor self control playing Risk. Does that count?

I do that 👆

Thanks President Musk. Addled assistant Trump wanted global peace but doesn’t know what day of the week it is and Musk is a war monger, pathetic.

If any of you are further pissed about your investments on Monday, just remember that Trump had a good weekend. That should help.

Epic Baghdading.

Sums up things well.

Strain:

The major stock indices are set to open tomorrow down between 4 and 5 percent, following Thursday and Friday's extreme losses. I watched the president's advisors's television appearances. They did not increase my confidence that the president has a coherent policy objective — or that he is executing any objective with competence.
The simple facts: The president's diagnosis of what ails America is incorrect. The policy the president is pursuing will clearly harm the groups of Americans the president claims he wishes to help. Investors seem to believe that those policies would reduce the value of US companies to the tune of several trillion dollars.
The president's advisors, elected Republicans in the House and Senate, and business leaders need to step up and apply pressure to get the president to change course.

Don’t be shy now, Ghost of Disco Gary. Use your words.

Let’s review since in office

Trump pardoned people who beat up police officers

sent people to a foreign prison without due process and it looks like at least one was sent by mistake

nominated cabinet members who are in incompetent and used Signal in a way it should not have been used and one invited a reporter to a group that he should not have been invited

really hurt US chance for keeping and gaining soft power around the world that will quickly be filled by other nations that might not act in The best interests of the US

Now he has driven the stock market into a wall and there isn’t one coherent stated policy objective. no one knows if it a short term negotiation tactic or long term to raise tax revenue or long term to try to bring jobs to the US. the uncertainty will not encourage capital investment.

but Biden….

There is no way that Gary or ADolt or any of them can spin their way out of this one. It's not 5D chess boys. It's rank stupidity. Own it.

And he has a 90% approval rating with republicans.

sickness.

“Global stocks have erased well over $20 trillion since February 19th.”

Don’t hold your breath..

We have massive Financial Deficits with China, the European Union, and many others. The only way this problem can be cured is with TARIFFS, which are now bringing Tens of Billions of Dollars into the U.S.A. They are already in effect, and a beautiful thing to behold. The Surplus with these Countries has grown during the "Presidency" of Sleepy Joe Biden. We are going to reverse it, and reverse it QUICKLY. Some day people will realize that Tariffs, for the United States of America, are a very beautiful thing!

Question for Trumpers: Why have you all spent decades buying Chinese made junk at Walmart if you care so much about the trade deficit? You could have been buying domestic products for much of your own personal consumption all along, right?

This "lib" wears Alden shoes made in Massachusetts and Hickey Freeman suits made in upstate NY. My beer comes from a brewpub and most of my food comes from farms within a relatively short drive of my city. My furniture was handmade my a local craftsman. And here the people screaming about the trade deficit seem to be the ones who can't get their hands on enough foreign products to ever satisfy their desires.

So I guess my question is basically, why can't you all "be the change you want to see in the world," as they say? You could have been buying American before the tariffs were ever even considered and before Trump was even in politics.

Sums up things well:

bremmer:

that whole 51st state thing looking decidedly less attractive to our friends up north.

My goodness. this is the US policy on trade now?

this US is in trouble with this man leading it
