Worst dow April performance since 1932, what a winning tariff war the economic genius is running. Only Trump who knows more about everything could tank not only our economy, but the global economy as well.

The hard core MAGA cult members and that unfortunately includes all the spineless republicans in both houses, will never admit their guy shouldn’t be in the White House.
Hopefully the more centrist republicans and independents have had enough of his bull #^&#^&#^&#^& and the trashing of our constitution and our economy and will pressure their house members.
He has also trashed our reputation around the world and made our country less safe. That is apparent with the chaos in the department of defense and fda cuts eliminated safeguards for the food we rely on.
I am really concerned for the country this clown is going to leave my kids and my grandchildren.
For years I have avoided political commentary on facebook, but this administration needs to be called out for what it is.
As an independent I vote for qualified people and the orange clown and his cabinet of yes men and women aren’t even close to qualified.

Can you just imagine if a democratic president tanked the market and then left for the weekend to collect god knows how much money from the Saudi’s and LIV golf. He and Musk don’t even try to hide the grift, it is right out in the open, as they know all the republicans in both houses have lost their spines and moral compass. At least Tesla is tanking so bad maybe Musk will be gone, but the damage will take years to repair, assuming our Republic survives.

Trump crypto soars as president offers dinner to top holders

The price of Donald Trump's cryptocurrency has soared after the US president promised to host two special events for its top investors.
The website for the $Trump meme coin says its 220 biggest holders will be invited to a private gala dinner with the president on 22 May, describing it as the "most EXCLUSIVE INVITATION in the world."

Selling the White House and access…. But but Hunter …

Where are Jim Jordon or Comer now. Or the GOP? Or the maga Hordes Outrage on this open corruption and market manipulation. Yet not a year ago.


Comer and his GOP colleagues on the House Oversight Committee further alleged that the payments, which included some from a Romanian national and a Chinese entity, constitute a “pattern of influence peddling…

What do you call the BBC story? Fake news ?

by the way isn’t political. It’s called presenting the historical FACTS…

[Got Stripers]

No sh*t Wayne, it is unbelievable that the grifting and con is right out there for everyone to see, yet nobody is doing or saying anything. If Biden or Obama were doing it, the right would have already moved to impeach them. And then there is the but but Hilary on the private server and you have the most unqualified head of the DOD using unsecured chat apps and then he has the stupidity to run a dirty internet line into his office.

Clinton got impeached for lying about getting head in the office, but at least he could balance a budget. Trump lies about almost everything he is asked to comment on, from gas pricing being under $2 (yeah if you traveled back in time), to the price of his favorite word groceries. Just when you think it can’t get any worse, another check mark is down on completing the project 25 paybook.

I fear our kids and grandchildren are in for a tough time if something doesn’t slow this out of control train wreck down.

No doubt there will be efforts by these project 25 QB’s to affect how that election is run.

Yes they will be ..

As billionaire Elon Musk scales back work for U.S. President Donald Trump, he’s laying the groundwork for a major role as a Republican political megadonor in next year’s midterm elections, according to four people with direct knowledge of the matter.

And the Hispanic support is slipping..

I hope the population in this country can see that trumps tariffs are actually designed to fund “trickle up” economics. The working class will fund the rich’s tax cuts with their extra stealth tax.

Seems the new plan is to grant what they are calling targeted tariff exemptions. Which is code for taking care of donors. Or industries.
To limit sticker shock .for us consumers…. Or basically Bait and switch.

Sadly many Americans are falling for it. That it’s some Art of the deal by their genius president.

On a sidenote, I thought oil plummeted to under $60 a barrel but I haven’t seen a reduction at the pump at home. It’s like 268 to 280 and on my drive to Hilton head North Carolina South Carolina many places is three dollars a gallon.. which surprise me ! Its always been $.20 cheaper down south

[Pete F.]

MORAN: Even some people who voted for you are saying, 'I didn't sign up for this.' So how do you answer those concerns?

TRUMP: Well, they did sign up for it actually

He has a point. They can claim willful ignorance all they like. They have no excuse.

SNL or reality?

WELKER: When does it become the Trump economy?

TRUMP: It partially is right now. I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy

What a great way to repay OAN for its continued propaganda.

Seriously, his economic strategy is such a cl#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g fluster I’m not sure we can avert a bad recessed even if he changed course today, and the GOP seems content to just let him drive the ship right into the rocks.

What happens next could be a lot, lot worse.

Did you guys see that developing african countries who are trying to negotiate having tariffs dropped were told that chances of them being dropped will increase if they signed contracts with Starlink. They aren't even trying to hide the corruption.

I wonder if a decade from now looking back wishing we weren’t living in the new Russia, those that voted this criminal into power truly regret their past decisions. Project 25 is rolling over America and I’m not sure the American public have a chance to stop it.

[Pete F.]

What a surprise that the “full and comprehensive” free trade agreement Trump is announcing with much fanfare this morning is not exactly full and comprehensive.

UK provided a polite reality check to Trump's posts about a "full and comprehensive" deal
UK-US deal will set out general terms of agreement: UK official
Will set framework for further negotiations: UK official
Focused on specific sectors, not traditional FTA:UK official

That’s a good sign for 90 deals in 90 days. The first trade deal Trump is celebrating is actually the framework of a deal.

No one knows concepts of a plan or frameworks of a deal like Trump.
It’s like Deja Vu all over again

It’s a nothing burger. We have a trade surplus with the UK. Only positive is it may show they will negotiate.

China is the big rock and they have huge leverage. Thousands of pounds of rare earth materials that go into F-35s, subs and bombs are mostly refined in China. 70% of products for baby care are made in China. If the US stops buying imports they’ll just tell their factory workers to do with less.

[Got Stripers]

It takes a really stupid person to take a growing economy, put it in reverse and into negative GDP, but we rational clear thinking people ( blue, red or purple) have known for years Trump is that special kind of stupid.

[Got Stripers]

Wow perfect example, just caught a clip of Trump responding to a reporter responding to his two Barbie dolls for Xmas and he said he may consider 145% tariff on the country of Matel so they cant sell any of their dolls in the US. OMG you cant even make that sh*t up.

[wdmso]

Trump says he is naming Fox News host and former judge Jeanine Pirro to be top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C.

[Got Stripers]

Anyone surprised the golden one is ready to continue the biggest grift of all time, by taking a luxury jet from Qatar. That on top of all the middle east investment of millions in his meme coin, can you believe the right was so upset about Hunter but now crickets. What a con job he has pulled on those the put him back into power, they are the middle class and below, how do they feel about no promises kept (groceries) all while the Trump family is making a killing.
