Trump's Second Term

I suppose there's going to be a lot less trucks on the road so not as many truckers needed.
Get rid of the ones with the wrong accent.

How will the Teamsters take it when their members start getting fired?
 
Shouldn't presidents also be able to speak English? Like, at a higher than fourth grade level?

Pissing off truckers sounds like such a great way to win elections.
Which makes me worry that they've got something planned for '26 and '28. They're just being too careless with how many of their supporters they alienate.

Funny you should say that.
He's been told by the Great Pollster John McLaughlin, one of the most highly respected in the industry that the polls are FAKE!
These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
Great Pollster John McLaughlin, one of the most highly respected in the industry, has just stated that The Failing New York Times Poll, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll, about a person named DONALD J. TRUMP, ME, are FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS. The New York Times has only 37% Trump 2024 voters, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll has only 34% Trump Voters, unheard of numbers unless looking for a negative result, which they are. These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD, and add in the FoxNews Pollster while you're at it. They are Negative Criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after I WIN ELECTIONS BIG, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse. They suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, and there is nothing that anyone, or anything, can do about it. THEY ARE SICK, almost only write negative stories about me no matter how well I am doing (99.9% at the Border, BEST NUMBER EVER!), AND ARE TRULY THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! I wish them well, but will continue to fight to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Truckers overwhelmingly voted for Trump and they are going to be hit hard in a few months when Chinese goods stop coming to the US. Maybe they can assemble iPhones instead?

Free access with NO BORDER. ALL POSITIVES WITH NO NEGATIVES."

I wonder if he realizes the U.S.-Mexico border is also an artificially drawn line from many years ago.

And please note, he is now calling Fox News polls "fake" as well.

Yes, see my post above, it has his 'statement' on the matter. All the polls are fake and illegal election interference.

I've said it many times before: There will be no free and fair elections in the U.S. in '26 and '28, and maybe never. They either will not take place at all (probably due to a "national emergency"), or they will be rigged.

I'm trying to decipher what he means by election interference. What election? No one is running for any office that has anything to do with the polls. If he runs ins 2028, which legally he can't, is that was he means. However, we've all seen how little law and the constitution means to him. Or is he just replaying one of his greatest hits. He can't dispute the polls, so as a reflex he's screaming interference?

They'll be unemployed when the president's (the manchild with the cars, not the one with the hamberders) driverless trucks take over anyway.

All polls are election polls, to him. They're all the ones we all tracked endlessly in the months leading to election, showing who we'd vote for. At best he could be convinced it's like Nielsen ratings on tv shows, but that fails to fully convey what a tanking approval rating is.....we can't cancel the show, we can't change channels. If disapproval goes high enough it'll mean that people are becoming violent, not that new episodes of the show are put on hold until the focus groups come up with changes.

I think he means last year's election. It sounds as if he's accusing the press of deliberately publishing fraudulent polls to fool the voters into thinking he was unpopular.

Whereas he won the vote by a completely unprecedented landslide. Might have been 93-94% I'm not sure but people are sayin'. They ought to be in jail for their crazy lies. Literally every man woman and child in the nation voted for Trump. Most of them more than once.

There was a video recently of Trump signing an Executive Order. It had something to do with colleges, and the presenter was attempting to explain to Trump what was in the order, to very little effect.

I never believed in the “Deep State”, but in this case there’s certainly someone or some group “behind the curtain” preparing these orders with little or no feedback or comprehension by Trump. Which I find very, very scary.

"Deep State" is not the term for that. Deep State refers to, in short, influential government employees/military figures secretly controlling the government from the shadows. The right wing has made a bunch of hullabaloo about the Deep State in their usual much ado about nothing to distract from the mountain of actual bad/utterly incompetent deeds done by them and their supporters way.

In reality, lobbyists are the usual source of things like that. There truly is an argument to be make that experts should have real say in relevant policy-making. That experts will tend to be employed by organizations in ways that create conflicts of interest is often left unsaid. There's also fair arguments that lobbying is an important part of helping the government to prioritize and handle the myriad of issues that a country faces. That it can also be abused to push unreasonability, insanity, and corruption is the dark side of that, though. Trump's extreme unfitness as President is a big boon for those seeking to push unreasonability, insanity, and corruption, unfortunately.

A few months? I seem to have heard that the last current ship is likely to arrive May 10th?

While I could likely use a lot of words and make a somewhat reasonable case for what's going on there, I would suggest that it's completely not worth anyone's time to go beyond the assumption that Trump's being a gibbering fool who is just reusing his inane defense as part of the psychological warfare strategy where repeating a lie often enough can get large numbers of people to believe it.
 
I've seen reports that the Seattle port is empty, that the last West Coast ship arrives in early May and the May 10th ship docking in the East Coast. I still see some semis out on the freeways late at night, but it's going to start hitting next month. Happy Birthday to me.
