Trump's Second Term

Hercules56 said:
If President X negotiates a massive spending bill with Congress that spends $5 trillion over the next 5 years, the future President is obligated to spend every dime of that bill in the way the bill demands?

Does that mean if Trump before was able to get funding for a massive $50 billion wall on the Mexican border, and the construction extended into Biden's term, Biden would have no power to stop construction?

What say you, @JayUtah , can a new President virtually Veto the spending bill approved by the previous President?

Trump on two astronauts stuck in space: "Maybe they'll love each other, I don't know. But they've been left up there. Think of it. And I see the woman with the wild hair. Good solid head of hair she's got. There's no kidding. There's no games with her hair."

<Groan> He imagines they're marooned together, alone in space.

They're part of a current crew of seven. They're not even the only Americans on the ISS right now. The leader of the free world is a goddamned moron.

And his stupidity is actually his best feature. Although I could be persuaded that it's his BMI.

Something like that, yeah. And then, if Congress doesn't pass a budget that supplies the funds needed to do so, he have to borrow money. And if that means hitting the debt ceiling, we get the song and dance show that raising it usually involves...

WTAF is going wrong with the squirrel cage in his head??
 
He's said "Globalist" a few times in his presser today.

I wonder who told him that word?

Trump managed to run Casinos (i.e. businesses where the customers literally walk in and hand over their money) into the ground.

Do not call me out multiple times. I am not at your beck and call to address any particular question that pops into your head, on a schedule that suits you.

In general the President is obliged to execute the budget that is in force when he presides, no matter which Congress passed it or which President signed it into law.

He is the "We'll see what happens" President. No forethought, no study of the implications, just any fleeting thought that gets into his melon that for some reason seems like a good idea to him, gets immediately implemented. (Stuff he doesn't want to do will be done "in two weeks".)

Or immediately said. As with my previous post about his claim that Honda is building a new plant in the US (which they've said is not so), anything that gets into his head that seems at the moment like a good thing to say, he just blurts out, without any consideration of whether it's a good idea or even true. I think Trump's basic characteristic is not just that he doesn't care about the difference between the truth and a lie, it's that he lacks the concept of the difference.

I believe the same is true for Mexico. The guns are coming from the US into Mexico.

Yes in fact the mexican government is arguing before SCOTUS this week I believe for some sort of saction on american gun makers due to the way they market their guns directly to cartels. In some instances giving models names like 'el jefe' (the boss).

That reminds me of the infamous "drink bleach" press conference. He had read (or more likely, been told) earlier something about disinfecting the body, and he thought of it at that moment and presented it like it was his great new idea the likes of which nobody had ever thought before, and figured he could take credit because he told the doctors what to do because he knew so much more than they did.
