Trump's Second Term

I'm sure Florida will love that idea.

Maybe the idea is for the private sector, let's say a large company owned by Musk, provides the services FEMA currently provides because the private sector is always more efficient.

Musk will provide 35% of the services of FEMA for only 95% of the budget - so much more efficient.

Didn't see it before it blew up. But when I saw the full clip (including the "Thank you, my heart goes out to you," which immediately follows the supposed Nazi salute) it was obvious that however awkwardly staged it was, the intent was for him to figuratively rip out his heart and toss it to the crowd.

Musk does know the difference between the Nazi salute and the "Thank you, my heart goes out to you," after all:

I don't like Musk very much, but I really think the Nazi Salute was unintentional. He is given to wild gestures when ot a platform.
BTW more signs that the Trump/Musk bromance will not be long lived.
IMHO< he will get bored with DOGE, and move on to something else.

Just like his endorsing of Nazi talking points about the jews was unintentional. I mean think of all the times you found yourself distributing nazi propaganda by mistake, happens to everyone all the time.

I am beginning to think Musk is just on a massive Troll. He might have given the salute just to watch the ensuing controversy.
That is why, btw, I think he is going to walk out on DOGE. He is going to get bored with it.

Like the Charlottesville "white supremacists" they are just trolls not actual nazis. There are not now and never have been real nazis they were all just trying to get more for themselves and trolling for the LOLS. Millions died for the LOLZ sure but you can't hold that against those doing the killing.
 
They aren't being racist with their banning of DEI hiring. They stated that they want the USA to be color blind. As in, all new hires be abscent of color. What is the absence of color again?

The “not technically proficient salute” excuse is a new one. I’ll give you that.

You can find pictures of Adolf himself doing salutes out to the side and all kinds of other people as well.

But Adolf wasn't a real nazi. He was just doing it all to get power and wealth.
 
Trump says he's going to ask Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who he describes as "a fantastic guy," to invest $1 trillion in the US economy
 
HANNITY: Why did people who were violent with police get a pardon?

TRUMP: Number one, they were in there for 3.5 years. A long time. And you know what they were there for? They were protesting the vote. You should be allowed to protest the vote. You should be allowed to.

Has Donnie Diapers commented on the snow in the South yet? You know, to scoff at climate scientists.

Will they still be unable to actually do anything or will he change the law to allow them to operate against
civilians on
US soil?

Who says they'll operate against civilians on US soil? They'll be acting against terrorists trying to infiltrate the US. Illegal combatants not civilians. (Of course there may be some collateral damage.)

This order creates a process by which certain international cartels (the Cartels) and other organizations will be designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations ....also flooded the United States with deadly drugs, violent criminals, and vicious gangs....The Cartels functionally control, through a campaign of assassination, terror, rape, and brute force nearly all illegal traffic across the southern border of the United States...Their activities, proximity to, and incursions into the physical territory of the United States pose an unacceptable national security risk to the United States....

I highlighted the part where you answered your own question.

Also it remains unclear to me why people keep insisting that the focus will only be on criminals and illegal immigrants when Trump has repeatedly made it clear that persons here legally are also in the cross-hairs, up to and including his illegal executive order that contravenes the Constitution.
 
An intersting article on Trump and potential conflicts of interest because unlike last time the Trump Organization will accept foreign money.

A new Trump Tower of corruption

President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was a top White House official during Trump's first term.

Last time Trump said he wouldn't take a salary, will he this time? Does he get a pension from his last Presidency?
 
Trump tells Canada become a US State or else!

"We're gonna be demanding respect from other nations. Canada, we have a tremendous deficit with Canada. We're not gonna have that anymore. As you probably know, I say you can always become a state. If you're a state, we won't have a deficit, we won't have to tariff you."
