Trump's Second Term

Make no mistake. This is an act of war. Multiple Canadian premiers are using that exact language. Some stores are already pulling american products off the shelves.

I have never seen this level of anger towards the US in my entire life. People are literally talking about vandalizing cars with American plates right now. It will only get worse as the effects of these tariffs begin to sink in.

Any American who ever steps foot in Canada, probably isn't a Trump voter..... :(

Trudeau announces a suite of 25% counter-tariffs on $155 billion of US goods. Details will emerge later but the items mentioned so far appear clearly to be targeting red states. Whisky & bourbon as well as Florida orange juice was mentioned specifically.

I just got finished watching a Canadian show. It was one of those ones where the grown adult version of the main character, a young boy coming of age, narrates throughout. Took place in New Foundland, and the dad a radio show host, and the older son followed in his footsteps. (Its based on the real life of a real radio show host, and it was the actual older son who narrates as if he were the younger son.)

ANYWAY, there was a humorous episode where the dad tried to make a New Foundland orange juice, everyone was excited for it, but it turned out to only be good to clean floors and dishes, and to polish brass with it. lol.

I was just watching a little video on ancient Rome, and they note that the Coliseum was built over the ruins of Nero's huge palace, the Domus Aurea, and perhaps as the trap doors in the stadium opened, the doggerel got out, so...

The emperor in his great wisdom decreed
A new Domus Aurea, grand to behold.
Tear down the dowdy old white stuff with speed,
And we'll drown out the woke with a shower of gold.

We'll spread our new wings, for graft and for greed,
But maybe it's best not to knock down the middle,
In case fearless leader discovers he needs
A safe place to hide while he tunes up his fiddle.

Difference is, the Colosseum was built by the popular Flavian Emperors. Started under Vespasian and completed by his son Titus. Along with Domitian who succeeded Titus they are considered y history to be 'good' Emperors.

It was deliberately built on the site of Nero's palace to make a statement about moving on from his unpopular rule.

It was named after the huge statue of Nero that stood nearby.
 
Exams he "decided to take" at Walter Reed.

I am sure AOC will have difficulty pointing at an elephant.

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard… They're really aptitude tests, in a certain way, but they're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump.

Still Biden's fault.

Trump: The cattle people, they've done very very poorly. And now they're doing well, but the price is up. So what I can see happening is we're going to take some beef because I have to get the price down.

I want to get the prices down like I did with eggs

That was Biden's fault. A lot of this is Biden's fault, too. and we're going to get the price of beef down…

Foreign workers for new factories.
ICE are going to have a lot of raids to do.

Trump: You can't just pick people off an unemployment line and say, "We just, you know, opened up a $2 billion battery factory.”

We have a lot of factories being built by outside by foreign interests.

I'm letting them know right now that when they come into our country we can expect to see them bring in with them some very talented people that have been doing it for many years

Cherry picking

WELKER: Coffee prices are up 19%, beef is up almost 15%, and bacon up almost 6% just to name a few. So when are all grocery prices going to come down as President Trump promised?

BESSENT: Kristen, it's unfortunate. As much as I like you, you like to cherrypick

Speaking of which, the price of cherries has skyrocketed as well.
 
Milei steals election. Trump hopeful.
President Donald Trump congratulated Milei on Truth Social Sunday night, writing: "Congratulations to President Javier Milei on his Landslide Victory in Argentina. He is doing a wonderful job! Our confidence in him was justified by the People of Argentina."
Investors reacted positively to the results. Reuters reported that Argentine bonds and stocks are expected to rally as Milei’s stronger hand in Congress gives him the political capital to accelerate his reforms

Hasn't thought about it but just happens to have a stock of Trump 2028 merchandise for sale in the White House gift shop.

Q: Bannon said there's a plan for you to run and potentially win a third term.

TRUMP: Well, I haven't really thought about it. I have the best poll numbers I've ever had. I mean, I just solved 8 wars and a 9th is coming.
