Trump's Second Term

Joe Biden!

HASSETT: Right before the midterm elections, Joe Biden, he's the one ...

FOX NEWS: Ok, but that was then, this is now

HASSETT: Again, these higher prices are a temporary phenomenon. It's going to end very soon. President Trump just gave an amazing address about that.

A speech which pushed up the price of oil. The cost of living isn't some abstract concept they can argue about its something every US voter sees when they go to buy gas and groceries.

Hassett: "Last night, I was in a restaurant and I asked every waiter, 'How much money did you make?' now that they're doing their taxes because of the no tax on tips. The lowest answer was $3,000 and the highest was $10,000. This is really an economy that can't be slowed down."

Well if that was per annum, perhaps it might be true. Of course anywhere else in the world the idea that people are depending on tips for their salary would be regarded as absurd.

Is that the same two weeks its been since Trump started his second term? I expect him to demand a new calendar shortly.

I think it's the same two weeks from his first term...

How about, "doctors have described his condition as 'highly satisfactory'"?

I like the ambiguity of this.

I'm chatting with some Finnísh Americans about Vance and UFOs. They are sort of casual voters. The Trumpists there are still quite convinced Biden was shaking hands with invisible people and that he was completely senile by the debate. These are people who would not bother with serious debate or ever look at the trump Biden debate again. But the debate was what convinced them to show up to vote at all.

Recent immigrants are usually in good health and are just in America to make more money etc. politics is typically not on their mind. And even the current situation is better than Finland. "I got fined by the county for putting up a sign to my wedding reception."

The group that voted for Trump are all convinced that Biden was a puppet and that autopen ran everything.

Trump thinks Passover is a request to pass him the KFC bucket.

It was bone-spurs on his door, for when the government came to draft people for the Vietnam war.

Lindsey Graham: “I would ask President Trump to do a force posture reevaluation of our presence in Europe…I would be looking at reducing the number of troops we have in Europe…I never thought I’d hear myself say that.”

Sen Whitehouse: “…today Donald Trump issued an executive order to the postmaster general and DHS, his DHS, ordering the postmaster general, who he appointed, to seize control of mail-in ballots and invent a method with DHS, for delivering mail-in ballots only to people Donald Trump’s DHS believes should receive mail-in ballots.

I hope the courts can rectify that illegal EO before it wrecks the elections.

Oh Graham, you're doing many things you probably never thought you would do for your Dear Leader.

Trump seeks $1.5tn for defence alongside domestic spending cuts

The White House is asking Congress to boost the US defence budget to $1.5tn (£1.1tn), a sweeping rise that would mark the largest expansion in military spending since World War Two.

It includes funding for the Trump administration's proposed Golden Dome missile defence system, as well as a boost in domestic production of naval vessels, including new Trump-class battleships.

The administration said it would pair the proposed increase with a call for cuts across domestic agencies, including eliminating some climate, housing and education programmes.

Trump seeks massive $1.5tn for defence alongside cuts in domestic spending

The US president's new budget would cut non-defence spending by 10%, partly by slashing domestic programmes.

Oh Graham, you're doing many things you probably never thought dreamed in your wildest, most confused yet oddly exciting fantasies you would do for your Dear Leader.

And threw up a little in my mouth while doing so.
