    Trump Administration Predictions

    It started by protecting Salvadoran immigrants from other gangs in LA. It then moved on to protection rackets. Deported members in El Salvador (not generally illegals) became more violent.

    Trump Administration Predictions

    In the US to get something done, you need the President, a majority of the House and 60 votes in the Senate, so there needs to be compromises for actual legislation. Did you vote for Nikki Haley in the Republican primary? Why do you define Trump as a "conservative"? With his opposition to free...

    Trump Administration Predictions

    It is worth mentioning that MS13 is an American gang that spread to El Salvador through deportations.

    Trump Administration Predictions

    Good qualifications, but they are still not actual judges. An actual judge ruled for Abrego-Garcia and stayed the deportation order.

    Trump Administration Predictions

    Interesting. Note despite the use of the term "judge" this decision is not from an actual judge but an executive branch employee.

    Trump Administration Predictions

    "Immigration Judges" are not members of the judicial branch, so a hearing with an immigration judge is not sufficient to meet due process requirements. He is entitled argue before an actual court that he is not a member of MS-13. The designation of MS-13 as a terrorist organization is also...

    Trump Administration Predictions

    The President (like every other Federal employee elected or not) swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, not see what he get away with. It is not just the courts who should be enforcing the Constitution, but everyone. If Trump wants expedited deportation procedure, he needs to go to Congress...

    Trump Administration Predictions

    The Logan act is of dubious constitutionality and no one has every been convicted under it. Nor does the President have exclusive say on foreign affairs, which is why both houses of Congress have foreign affairs committees.

    Trump Administration Predictions

    You are talking about invasion as metaphor. Laws are not metaphors. Congress has not declared war on Venezuela. There are no Venezuela armed forces occupying American territory. The interpretation of laws is up to the Courts, not the President.

    Trump Administration Predictions

    The VP of El Salvador made it clear that they were keeping him because the US government is paying them to do so. The question of "OR" or "AND" is not relevant, as there is no invasion or incursion. And Trump has already lost in court on this issue.

    Trump Administration Predictions

    The question of whether Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13 is irrelevant. He was deported under the Alien Enemies Act. That law requires "That whenever there shall be a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion shall be...

    Most developed countries don't charge high tariffs so we can't coerce them into lowering them.

    Trump Administration Predictions

    It is easier to talk about Trump's economic policies where the effects are objectively measurable and he has delivered the reverse of his promises, high prices instead of low prices, higher government spending rather than lower and stock market crash rather than a boom. On DEI he has sort of...

    Trump Administration Predictions

    Trump just threatened for Fed Chairman Powell unless he cuts interest rates (which would increase prices).

    Trump Administration Predictions

    I remember Trump campaigning on lower prices, not higher prices. Trump made many contradictory campaign promises, so by fulfilling some, he violated others. Shutting down government DEI is a good idea, but the harm of DEI is small compared to the harm of his trade war on America. As to the idea...

    Trump Administration Predictions

    Here is the pre-COVID deficit in millions. Increased 400 billion dollars from Obama's last year. Didn't Trump cave and sign a big spending bill 2 months ago? And last week Trump cancelled a regulation that would have saved Medicare $10 billion on advanced (and unneeded) skin bandages. Maybe next...

    A took a while for the Japanese to catch up in quality. By the 1980's, they were generally better which was when I started driving them.

    Trump Administration Predictions

    What is your threshold Pat? You have asked to ignore the increasing deficits during his first term, the continuing resolution he actually signed, the stock market slump since he started his trade war and his numerous violations of the Constitution. Why do give Trump so many chances? Is there...

    Trump Administration Predictions

    I remember. The Japanese companies did even better after they started building in the US (as did the American consumers). The advantage was that the Japanese companies (especially Toyota) had better cars for less money. Critical parts of Japanese-American cars are still made in Japan. The...

    Good point, but when they had Opel, they made more cars in Europe. Most car companies now operate in North America, Europe and East Asia. A global business based upon global trade.
