The Trump Presidency: Sweet/Sweat 16

Wowzah. That guy is a loon. I've actually never heard of him until now. Kinda wish I never did!!

The second coming od God? I guess he realised "Christ" was stupid but was unwilling to start from scratch.

It's only a matter of time until he claims to be more popular than Jesus. Stealing the quote, of course.

And that is absolutely equally possible.

But some sort of hamfisted "Airbags!? When I was a kid we didn't have airbags Emissions control? Screw the hippies!" trimming the fat routine is exactly the kind of thing his mind and ego would mistake for "a solution."

One of his early Executive Orders was that "For each new regulation, you have to get rid of two old regulations." Simple way to make it simpler!

Can't wait for evangelical Christians to explain away the POTUS endorsing the idea that he's the second coming of the Messiah.

Wait ‘til he says “That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah!”

I'm not so sure North Dakotan winters are that different from Norwegian winters. Electric cars are used all over the country here, from north to south.

North Dakota is significantly colder than Norway. While Norway has the benefit of the Gulf Stream bringing warm water all the way from the equator, North Dakota is almost right smack in the middle of North America.

Here are the winter temperatures for Oslo and Fargo, from Wikipedia. All temperatures are in Celsius.

Oslo

Temperature | Nov | Dec | Jan | Feb | Mar Average daily high |3.9|0.0|-0.4|0.5|4.4
Average daily low |-4.7|-2.3|-2.9|-2.4|1.0
Record high |14.4|12.6|12.5|13.8|21.5
Record low |-16.0|-20.8|-26.0|-24.9|-21.3

Fargo

Temperature | Nov | Dec | Jan | Feb | Mar Average daily high |2.9|-5.4|-7.6|-4.6|2.4
Average daily low |-6.5|-14.5|-17.7|-14.7|-7.0
Record high |23.0|18.0|13.0|19.0|27.0
Record low |-33.0|-38.8|-44.0|-44.0|-37.0

For Fargo, note both the average and record lows, to get an idea of the range of cold temperatures. It's not unusual in December and January to have a week or more where the temperature goes down below -20 at night and barely makes it above -20 during the day.

Here in Winnipeg, at least once every winter we get a stretch where the temperature goes below -30 at night and doesn't make it above -20 during the day. We call that a "cold snap."

If you don't kowtow and grovel before Dear Leader and you are female, you are nasty.

Trump: Danish PM is "nasty":



Literally all she did was say "Greenland is not for sale", and she was responding to a reporter's question, not either Trump OR "the United States of America". But of course she's a woman who said something Trump didn't like, so that makes her "nasty" because Trump hates women.

No, Don, she's talking to you. The US gets covered in the same **** as you as collateral damage, but she's talking to you.

The Legendary Henry Ford and Alfred P. Sloan, the Founders of Ford Motor Company and General Motors, are “rolling over” at the weakness of current car company executives willing to spend more money on a car that is not as safe or good, and cost $3,000 more to consumers. Crazy!

Henry Ford would be very disappointed if he saw his modern-day descendants wanting to build a much more expensive car, that is far less safe and doesn’t work as well, because execs don’t want to fight California regulators. Car companies should know....

....that when this Administration’s alternative is no longer available, California will squeeze them to a point of business ruin. Only reason California is now talking to them is because the Feds are giving a far better alternative, which is much better for consumers!

You forget that, for Trump, l'état, c'est moi.

These modern cars are less safe than the cars Henry Ford built? I call BS on this. Not a big call, not a brave call, in fact, it's a call that's is trivially obvious. Modern cars are relatively speaking much cheaper than the cars Henry Ford built.

Why does anyone believe anything Trump says or tweets? Everything he says should be fact checked because his history has proved he lies through his teeth. I find it bewildering why anyone assumes anything he says is true.

This is Trump having a meltdown over the fact that said car makers are not doing what he wants. If it was a good idea he really should have no problem convincing them, but it's not.

I think it's just a rant about "Government Over-Regulation" with the most ridiculous examples he could use. Cars have never been safer. Cars are relatively speaking very cheap. Much safer, cheaper, and more capable than in the time of Henry Ford.

He knows more about the car manufacturing business than anyone.

But seriously, you would think that before changing regulations for a business he might want to consult with the businesses and see what they think.

 

[TellyKNeasuss]

Meanwhile, there might be reason to question whether Trump has created the greatest economy in history. Yes, there actually have been a half million fewer jobs created than had been reported. Of course, this might have been caused by Hillary's missing emails.

They might want to cut costs and increase profits. That could be done by cutting safety.

A throwaway line. If any Democratic president had said it all hell would have broken loose.

He was chosen - unfortunately, this is who chose him ...

....Because of me, these countries have agreed to pay ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS more - but still way short of what they should pay for the incredible military protection provided. Sorry!
