Trump's Second Term

It's Biden's fault!

Trump on declining GDP: You probably saw some numbers today. I have to start off by saying that's Biden, not Trump. Because we came in on January

Third quarterly set of figures since Trump took control and still the ghost of Biden is steering the economy downwards, just like it wasn't while he was in charge. Imagine how bad it might be if Trump wasn't there to fight against the worst of whatever it is that's causing the problem.

They should hold, like, an exorcism in the oval office, or whatever they need to do to break the black magic spell Biden has clearly cast over the economy.

Shall we compile a list of contentious things "people" have said lately, and you can tell us which of them is just fine?

What the hell "contracts" are you blathering about, idiot? (Paul, not Andy)
 
Donald is going to withhold money from New York because Governor Hochul has endorsed that communist Mamdani for Mayor.



Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has Endorsed the "Liddle' Communist," Zohran Mamdani, running for Mayor of New York. This is a rather shocking development, and a very bad one for New York City. How can such a thing happen? Washington will be watching this situation very closely. No reason to be sending good money after bad! President DJT

Maybe they'll have to go after you.


JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech

TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you. ABC paid me $16 million for a form of hate speech,

I'm going to tell on you!

President Trump warns an Australian reporter that he’s hurting Australia because he asked him about his business activity: You are hurting Australia very much right now. They want to get along with me. Your leader is coming to see me soon, I'm going to tell him about you.

I posted this in the Artificial Intelligence thread but parts of it apply here - Guardian Long Read on
AI top researcher Song Chun Zhu leaves USA for China
As we talked, Zhu noted how prescient his departure now looks, given the scorched-earth politics of the second Trump administration. In one recent poll, three in four scientists in the US said they were considering leaving. Many AI leaders, including LeCun, have spoken out about how Trump’s budget cuts to scientific research will harm their work. Chinese universities have capitalised on the exodus, courting students from Harvard and researchers who have lost their jobs following recent federal budget cuts. (The EU is doing the same.)

Tony Chan, the former president of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and a former faculty dean at UCLA, has experience in both (i.e. China & USA) university systems. He told me what he is seeing now in the US is worse than anything he ever saw in China. “We used to be able to clearly say that US universities were independent of the politicians. That was the advantage of the American academic system,” Chan told me. “I cannot say that any more.”

Says the man who bankrupted casinos and is responsible for today's stagnant economy. It's hilarious, but dumber still are the people who think he's a good business person. Box of rocks dumb, they are.

If I were the head of the Democrat Party, I'd apologise to the American people for my/ the party's part in failing to win the election and leaving them in the hands of a gaggle of criminals, bigots, unqualified bluffers, alcoholics, lunatics, morons and scum.*

*If only to see the looks on their faces.
