The other 50% can be translated as: They don't worship me.

If the tariffs were so good and were going to replace income tax and bring in the new golden age, why has Trump backed down on them?
Was it because they tanked the markets which sprang back after they were paused, giving Trump and his conies that were in on it a huge insider trading opportunity?

You are using that logic stuff, that don't work on us, we've got plenty of common sense.

What are the auditors going to make of this? Will be an interesting read. If there are any auditors.

It beats me what the orange tyrant thinks he's gained from threatening Canada.
A Fentanyl Tsar who will try to stop some of the drugs crossing that border, having no effect on the 99% which comes in other ways. Angry Canadians bycotting US goods which will do the opposite of helping his trade deficit gripe. Canadians literally booing the US national anthem at sports events.
What a triumph.

Wait until you hear about his smoking-hot new Chinese girlfriend!One of elonia's spartan stooges is a 25 year old who now has full, direct access to the federal payment system. This can only end well.
A 25-Year-Old With Elon Musk Ties Has Direct Access to the Federal Payment System
The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a sleepy part of the Treasury Department. It’s also where, sources say, a 25-year-old engineer tied to Elon Musk has admin privileges over the code that controls Social Security payments, tax returns, and more.www.wired.com

China said it would implement a 15% tariff on coal and liquefied natural gas products as well as a 10% tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery and large-engine cars imported from the US. The tariffs would take effect next Monday.

Unlike the Trump team China has the people and expertise to make it happen.
Trump proved with Canada and Mexico that he doesn't.

CNN reported on the freeze of foreign aid and its actions regarding USAID: "“You’re talking about thousands of people here and abroad, American companies that what they do is implement USAID programs,” said Dany Bahar, senior fellow at the Center for Global Development, a think tank. “A lot of the money from USAID is helping [foreign] countries grow and develop stronger commercial ties with the US.” One aid contractor told CNN that the funding freeze will impact food security in the US. “I don’t think people recognize that. It’s going to impact the spread of infectious disease,” they said."
NPR reported, "By Monday, USAID staff had received emails saying the agency's Washington, D.C. headquarters was closed for the day and that they should work from home." Wait a minute; wasn't working from home thought to be a bad thing in this administration?
NPR went on: "Democratic Sen. Andy Kim of New Jersey said, "This is an entity that was created through federal statute, codified through federal statute, and something that cannot be changed, cannot be removed except through actions of Congress.""

El Salvador has agreed to house violent US criminals and receive deportees of any nationality, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Monday, in an unprecedented – and legally problematic deal – that has alarmed critics and rights groups.

trump picked a number of congress people for his jobs and Gaetz is out due to his problems. Special elections coming up. However, they are in firm republican districts in FL:

What to expect in Florida's special congressional primaries
Control of the U.S. House isn’t on the line in Tuesday’s special congressional primaries in Florida, but Republicans are still eager to find replacements for former GOP Reps. Matt Gaetz and Michael Waltz to add some breathing room to their slender majority in the chamber.

Fascinating how fascism is applied in a modern globalized hypercapitalist society. Simply cut aid and the fascists kill millions while saving money. No need for concentration camps, just outsource that to a foreign country like with slavery, child labour, sweatshops, and other exploitative work systems. What about the SA, or if you want to stage a coup? Proud Boys and other private militias. I'm sure Kristallnacht will be privatized, too. Heck, maybe Musk will even make an app, make a gig economy out of vandalizing shops and tagging "Don't buy from illegals" on the shop windows of brown people.

What a totally inane thing to state. But par for the course of this forum. (Your forum?)
Trump is a well known operator, very predictable, and anyone who deals with him should know the parameters, including the tough bluffs. . He is actually very transparent.
America is on an upswing, if you did not notice. Perception and 'hope' are half of what creates prosperity. We are getting that now.

How strange you say it is an "inane thing" to say and then agree with me....

America was doing fine. None of the foreigners was Hannibal Lecter. One killer among 4 million illegals. That is better than the American population. 100 killers in 4 million. So I have no idea what this "feeling propserous" is. None of this was necessary and none of this adds to the wealth of MAGA voters other than Musk and Trump himself.

America was doing FINE???!!!!!! 36 trillion debt and add another trillion every 3 months. Just play that one out.......
And that is going to continue. Did you think Trump would somehow reverse that?

And that debt will not change in 4 years. And not minimum wage. Free market is not going to address homes, only rental property. The people in the MAGA income category have economic problems. Those will get worse. Thanks to Tariffs. Trump is solving NO economic inequality. Illegals had nothing to do with that. They are roofers and crop pickers and slaughterhouse employees.
