Trump Administration Predictions (2 Viewers)

I think if he realize he screwed up and prices start to seriously increase here I think he'll just immediately take the tariffs off
Or double down ;)
 
Let's be honest, the most likely scenario here is that they are imposed for only an extremely short time, thereby having a chance to neither help nor harm in a very direct way, but getting those countries to make changes along the lines of what he wants. I think all of us know deep in our heart that Mexico could put an end to 90% of the drug trafficking if they had a will to do so in an instant. It would be hard and bloody but I think they could do it.
I' not sure Mexico has the resources to go to war with the cartels. Plus, many everyday people make a living from the working for the cartels, and they spend a lot of money locally.
 
Sounds like a win
Mexico has agreed to deploy 10,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in exchange for a one-month delay on President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday.
 
I'm starting to have reservations about DJT.
He said that 2Tier Starmer the devout socialist nitwit is OK.
Starmer and his cabinet are totally under the control of the unions. His deputy, the one in the No Brainer Raynor videos has planned to oust him and may well do so. - Frightening, then in will come Corbin and the rest of the commies. Starmer's Foreign Secretary has been particularly insulting to Trump apparently with Starmer's approval. I couldn't believe my ears when Donald praised him and his antics.

Yeah, he's only pissing off 99.99999999999% of the planet so far, give him a minute.
 
I've been combing through MSNBC the last - well, it's something I do basically every day - and I've noticed they have been pretty careful to focus 99 if not 100% of their "tariff ire" on the Canadian side only. Why? They won't mention the Mexican side, because it's pretty obvious Trump is going to use it as a negotiating tool and everyone knew he was likely to be successful, too - as he has been. So they go on and on about how bad Trump's tariff idea is, but will only use Canada as an example, as his tariffs with MX are likely to be a resounding success

Trump says nice things every now and then like you throw a dog a bone. He'll even have something positive to say about Kim Jong Un, if given the chance - it doesn't mean he really truly thinks well of them overall, it just means he was able to think of one nice thing to set the tone for a given event, dinner, meeting, or phone call.

What makes someone a commy?

It's a well-defined political belief. Look it up sometime. The textbook short answer is: A communist believes in a classless system with communal ownership of most or all means of production, and with little or no ownership of private property.

In other words when it comes to use by wacko right wingers, it doesn't really apply to very many people in the US, or the western world for that matter.

I think in the context of this example it is a term designed to spread contempt. Not really an indicator of actual communism. You cannot insult me with your thinly veiled contempt.
 
Someone's been riding the struggle bus. It's going to be a long four years. You may want to pace yourself.:rolleyes:

To be honest, I don't believe that it does. Almost all communist countries I know have moderated their stance to allow some individualism. The greater threat these days is socialism.

It was veiled? But then, what did you expect when you contemptuously accuse us of knowing nothing about various things. Relationships are often reflections of treatment accorded to other persons.
 
Marxism, socialism, communism, autocrats, dictators and religion are all branches of the control tree.
In some ways how different is the management and control from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple etc? If you object you cannot use any of them. You must submit to their T&Cs and their invasive intrusions to use any part of their systems'.

I don't know how many out there in government read Orwell's 1983 at university. But it does appear that today there are huge numbers who having read it thought, well..........what a good idea. We can use that for governing, diversity, World Health and Global Warming. Onwards and upwards comrades.
 
Maybe deleting the Department of Education would be a major step?

BTW, The Department of Education has to be a oxymoron ;)

I don't know about that. It taught us a lot about how to not run things of such importance.

Seriously, we DO need a way to induce kids to continue their education, to at least make it through high school in the USA. (Don't know what other countries call that level - 12th-year basic education.)
 
This is a reasonably well written article, I have to painfully admit - over there at MSNBC.

I wish my man T-DAWG would take a breath. The pain from the alienation of people who see him trying too many "push-the-envelope" things may end up being greater than the benefits involved. Hopefully wise counsel is telling him this as well. He can do a lot of good - a LOT of good - by undertaking about 1/5 of what he's trying to do, but just sending everything and its brother to the Supreme Court will come off as throwing up a lot of mud to see what sticks...not a good look IMHO.

So, you think the cartels should not be wiped out? Interesting position. Mexico is between a rock and a hard place. Their citizens are abused by the cartels/ For years, that was one of the major reasons for Mexicans invading the US illegally. If people work for the cartels, it is because they have no alternative so are you espousing slavery? Most of the police are corrupt because otherwise the cartels would assassinate them and their families. What are they to do when their own government can't/won't stand behind them? We would be happy to help them but that is a very slippery slope. How can we conduct military operations inside of Mexico? The government would have to go all in on the idea and commit their own military to the task as well so that it doesn't come as an invasion. Then, what happens? How do you fix the police who have been corrupted for a couple of generations at least? Because, until you can get them back on tract and honest, the situation will probably just devolve into chaos. I'm pretty sure that more than one of Mexico's recent Presidents have been on the take.

I don't think we've ever employed armed guards at the border who were empowered to shoot on sight. We could do that. "Migrants" would soon stop coming so we'd have a fair assurance that the people who are crossing illegally are actually bad guys and I really don't care if they don't get due process. We give them fair warning. Post lots of signs and our citizens would also be aware of the situation and so take care if they have to go into the danger zone to prevent being taken for a smuggler.

It is so unlike them to be even remotely rational in their attacks on Trump. Too bad they've already totally blown their credibility.

As the Executive, the President, must have discretion on how/when money gets spent. Currently, much of it is totally wasted due to no oversight. Congress allocates monies at a gross level and can't be bothered with details but the wastage is in the details. That is part of what Trump is trying to control. For many departments, they essentially get a slush fund that they spend at their own discretion. Should they be allowed to spend it to interfere with official government policy? One big example is the funding of NGO's. We have laws that prevent illegal immigration. Why are we funding NGO's that teach people how to circumvent our law and come into the country illegally? They even go so far as to provide physical assistance with the process.

And then we have the problem of the last administration literally emptying their bank accounts in an attempt to just dump the money somewhere, anywhere to keep Trump from using it for his own programs. That is your money people. Billions were wasted in the last weeks of the Biden administration so they could have empty accounts when Trump took office. They spent it to buy tons of ice cream which is sitting outside their office waiting for spring to melt it and they'll just throw it away. But they won because Trump couldn't spend any of the money on meaningful (to conservatives) things.
 

Seems like according to Joni Ernst's experience and others, I'm GLAD Trump is totally bringing this USAID to a halt until he can review the sometimes-ludicrous destination of funds. Wow. He was right again.
