Trump's Second Term

And so it begins; the human pustule leads the charge.

Steve Bannon said Donald Trump must follow through with his threats to “go after” people as the president accuses Barack Obama of “treason.”

Bannon, host of the War Room podcast and former White House chief strategist, told Axios it would be “devastating” to the MAGA movement if there aren’t any prosecutions in connection to the Trump administration’s allegation that the former Democratic president engaged in a conspiracy to subvert the 2016 election results.

Well I guess there could be prosecutions over the vexatious accusations but Trump would just wave them away with his magic sharpie.

Actually, is Bannon taking a risk by trying to force Trump's hand here? The flinging of treason accusations isn't supposed to do anything except stop people talking about Epstein. If you start demanding Trump actually comes up with evidence and a case that's putting him on the spot. I'm not sure it's the play King Stupid wanted.

In "idiot math", a 1,000% reduction is reducing something to 1/10 of its previous price, a 1,500% reduction is reducing it to 1/15 of its original price and so on.

edited to add....

I effect it's presenting the old price in relation to the new price....

It was £10, it's now £1 so working it backwards, if it was raised from £1 to £10 it'd be a 1,000% increase so dropping it from £10 to £1 is a 1,000% decrease.

I mean it's all nonsense anyway, there'll be no significant reduction in drug prices as a result.

I'm sure you thought of this, but it doesn't hurt to be explicit :) I don't think Trump thinks that far. He doesn't even do the 'idiot math'. I'm pretty sure his thought process goes no further than '30% reduction is good, 50% is better, 1000% reduction must be REALLY good' - the fact that 1000% reduction makes no actual mathematical sense never crosses his mind. 1000 must be better than 50. End of thought.

I've read in a couple of sources that the 'business genius' can't read a balance sheet.

I don’t know how serious this thing about Obama’s treason is. I think it is what the folks in the UK politics thread called “deadcatting”. If there is something which is a huge embarrassment for a politician, he can throw a dead cat on the table. It may be anything that works as a “dead cat”, it just has to be outrageous. Then everybody start talking about the dead cat, and the Epstein files are quietly forgotten.
 
His scummy supporters already believe everything their Führer tells them anyway. I know they did the same 'lock them up' rhetoric with Hillary and nothing happened to her, but a lot has happened since then, to say the least. I wouldn't put it past them.

Yeah, but read what Trump said. Your income would swing wildly every time he mumbled out another number. He's practically an rng on legs.

Reminiscent of the value of his properties and how wildly it swung, coincidentally swinging very, very far in whatever direction would be advantageous to him at that moment.
