OFFICIAL LRC President Donald Trump SECOND TERM Thread

Has anyone noted Trump backing down on tariffs for smartphones and computers? Why did he do this? He said tariffs were the answer to all of America's financial problems. His supporters said he was tough and resolute. His supporters said he had a plan, though he has not provided that plan to the people.

Time to face the fact that Trump rolled out a tariff plan without understanding the consequences even though most economists told everyone what would happen and their predictions have come true. Trump has now caved almost completely on 2 tariff rollouts with no concessions or deals. All we have to show for it is a mass exodus of capital from the US markets and US bonds. No new manufacturing announced. Inflation is now inevitable and a recession more than 50% likely according to financial analysts.

What a poor planner and a spineless president.

Stocks soar under Trump’s tariff regimen!

Now we just need to find the mole-rat in Mar-A-Lago. That’s unfinished business as far as I’m concerned.

Amen Runkin

Dont forget that prices are back down and the war is over! Trump loves people just like J. Christ commanded. You may not believe it but those immigrants mistakenly put in the El Salvador prison praise Trump every day for rescuing them from the streets of woke America.

They need not fear where their next meal is coming from. Just like J Christ fed the masses with a few small fishes.

Interesting point TrumpWon. You seem like an expert on this bill so maybe you can help me parse it. Where can I find the part about codifying five thousand illegals? Here is the full text. It's very long and I can't find it: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/4361/text

Google Gemini had this to say about the bill, although I know AI is woke or whatever and can't be trusted:

Regarding the 5,000-per-day figure:
-Yes, the bill did include thresholds related to daily migrant encounters. The 5,000-per-day figure was a point of discussion, as it represented a level at which certain restrictive measures could be triggered.
-It is important to understand that the bill did not "allow" 5,000 people to enter; rather, it established a threshold that, when reached, would trigger emergency authority to restrict entry.

The 370-page package was unveiled Sunday evening after months of negotiations. The legislation, including aid for Ukraine, Israel, the Indo-Pacific and humanitarian purposes, totals $118 billion, with $20 billion going toward the border component.

Why does a border bill need aid to Ukraine and Israel?

Apparently they aren't even collecting the tariffs at the ports. Really 5D chess stuff here. Impose a tariff, don't collect it, cancel it, whatever.

Here psychiatrists and psychologists say that both Putin and Trump have enough psychopathic and narcissistic tendencies to get diagnosed, but what separates them are the level of intelligence and their upbringing.

Putin has above average intelligence and had an upbringing that has led to him not being totally insecure. This again leads him to not taking rash decisions just to get attention.

They say Trump is very insecure and that is why he seeks attention by trying to shock people. They say it often happen to people with those disorders experiencing childhood trauma.

You fail to understand basic fiscal truths. Trump’s tariffs are accentuated at the port of egress, not the other way around. In that way, the American taxpayer is enhanced by leveraging the reciprocity in America’s favor.

I don't know why aid to Ukraine and Israel was included in the border bill. Congress groups things together all the time. I imagine after the border bill was shot down, we continued to support Ukraine and Israel under Biden, and Israel under Trump. I don't think the Biden admin was ever worried about getting those aid packages passed if that's what you're implying. Senator McConnell was a big supporter of Ukraine.

My question is about 5,000 number. I am trying to work out exactly where it says that 5,000 people would be accepted per day. Anyway here's Gemini again:

The 5,000 Figure:
The 5,000-encounters-per-day figure was a significant point of discussion.
If the average number of daily encounters reached or exceeded 5,000 over a seven-day period, certain restrictive measures could be triggered.
These measures could include:
Suspending asylum processing.
Expedited removal of migrants.
Other border-control actions.
It's Not an Allowance:
It's crucial to understand that the bill did not authorize or allow 5,000 people to enter the country daily.
Instead, it established a trigger point that, when reached, would enable the DHS to impose stricter border-control policies.

Back to me now. It doesn't seem like 5000 would be "allowed" per day. That's a very loose, mostly incorrect interpretation of the bill, from what I'm reading. It seems like 5k is a threshold which could trigger the shutdown of processing altogether. In other words, it's more complicated than that. Of course it is.

We can. Just don’t expect Fox News to ever mention it.

The natural kind is too.

I have 5 of these mass deportation T-shirts Trump handed out at the RNC. What the hell are we supposed to do with these? And the ear diapers.., WTF?

Jesus Christ, we’re not looking for a dissertation here. Do you order Shrimp Louie at a truck stop too?

The facts are certified. We are well versed men here. And you would rather live in some Marxo-socialist paradise hobonobbing with the liberal elite oligarchy than benefit the hard working Christian-American common man that Trump has benefacted through pro -American port tariffs.

And EVERY SINGLE Republican wearing a suit in Washington 100% understands this. And it doesn’t matter.

We reached TWO elected federal Republicans with backbones very early on. And the number has stayed there since, with zero sign of increasing.

What a sad, sad country we have.

Am I rooting for the Chinese? Yeah, probably, kind of. Only problem being that their leader is as bad, or worse, of a human being as Trump. But way smarter.

You can claim you're "unaffiliated" but you sound like a leftist Democrat...

You're like a dude who says he's vegan and goes to the steakhouse every night.

You must not have been paying attention. If your political opponent hasn't actually committed a crime you invent one.

But rephrase it - 4,999 migrants or fewer per day won't trigger a shutdown. Thus it codifies 4,999 per day.

But you heard about his book, right?
