Trump's Second Term

Also, Sportswear giant Adidas warned tariffs would lead to higher prices in the US for popular trainers, including the Gazelle and the Samba.

The finance chief of footwear firm Skechers, David Weinberg, told investors: "The current environment is simply too dynamic from which to plan results with a reasonable assurance of success."

And Procter & Gamble – which makes Ariel laundry detergent, Head & Shoulders shampoo and Gillette shaving products – said it was considering changes to its prices to make up for the extra cost of materials sourced from China and other places.

Gazelles becoming more expensive is bad news for the leopards currently hunting faces to extinction.
 
What is this babble?

Donald Trump continued to show signs of cognitive decline on Monday at a press conference from the Oval Office; giving a bizarre word salad answer on why he wants the notorious federal prison Alcatraz reopened. Trump seemed to suggest it was his nostalgia for old movies that led him to push for reopening the prison, which has been closed for 61 years.

"Well, I guess I was supposed to be a moviemaker. We’re talking, we started with the moviemaking, and it will end," Trump told a reporter who asked him why he wanted to reopen the island prison in San Francisco Bay. "It represents something very strong, very powerful, in terms of law and order. Our country needs law and order. Alcatraz is, I would say, the ultimate, right? Alcatraz, Sing Sing, and Alcatraz, the movies."

Trump has said he wants to use the island to once again house the worst prisoners in the country, as it did at its height of notoriety.

"But uh, it’s right now a museum, believe it or not. Lotta people go there. It housed the most violent criminals in the world, and nobody ever escaped," Trump continued. "One person almost got there, but they, as you know the story, they found his clothing rather badly ripped up, and uh, it was a lot of shark bites, a lot of problems," Trump said, seeming to reference the Clint Eastwood movie, Escape From Alcatraz.

Trump: "I always liked Gavin. I have a good relationship with him. I just got him a lot of water. I sent in people to open up that water. We just got him a lot of water. If they would've had that water and done what I said to do, they wouldn't have had the fires in Los Angeles

Trump on China: "By not trading, we're losing nothing. So we're saving a trillion dollars. That's a lot."
 
How refreshing to hear a head of state who talks like an adult. Could someone ask him if he can stay in the US and serve as president instead of Dump?
 
Trump: "President Obama -- and if he wanted help I'd give him help because I'm a really good builder -- he's building his library in Chicago, and it's a disaster. And he said something to the effect of 'I only want DEI. I only want woke.' He wants woke people to build it. Well, he's got woke people ... he didn't use good, hard, tough, mean construction workers."

Donald doesn't have to sign deals, he's got super luxury shops for everyone

Trump: "Everyone says, 'When, when, when are you gonna sign deals?' We don't have to sign deals ... they have to sign deals with us. We don't care about their market ... they'll either say, 'Great,' and they'll start shopping, or they'll say, 'Not good.' That's okay. You don't have to shop."

"We're gonna put down the price that people are gonna have to pay to shop in the United States. Think of us as a super luxury store. A store that has the goods."

"Is this a Poe?", he asked hopefully although dreading the perhaps inevitable response...
 
Resume said:
Umm, yes we do. We're not going to replace those things domestically for years, if at all.

He doesn't know how any of this works.

Of course in this tirade Vermont doesn't count, but those of us here who consider Vermonters at least a little component of the "we," might have a different opinion on whether "we" need their energy! For those not familiar with the situation, one of the reasons Vermont leads the nation in power from renewable resources is that we buy a huge amount of it from Hydro Quebec.

But of course Trump wouldn't bother to know this and if he did he'd deny it and if he couldn't deny it he'd blame it on someone else, and if he couldn't blame it on someone else he'd reset to not knowing.

Who is Gavin?

What is Gavin?

Ok, more seriously... he's likely referring to California Gov. Gavin Newsom. (The whole 'got him water' was about Trump ordering certain reservoirs to be opened up to bring water to various areas of California, supposedly to deal with their fires. Problem is, the flow of the water wasn't to the areas that needed water most, so it was largely wasted.)
