Trump's Second Term

Why does he tell such obvious lies?

Trump: Gasoline now is down to close to $2 in a lot of places. A couple of places… it's like $1.98 a gallon.

He repeats whatever crap his handlers tell him is true. Then it becomes just another recycling pachinko ball in his skull. It keeps coming back repeatedly. And Trump has been on about "$2 gas" for months now. See?

All kidding aside, is there really a fence going up around the White House? I can't find anything about it from any reputable source. The sites that are reporting it are the usual AI generated Indian garbage "news" aggregators.

There is already a fence at the White House.

330. Trump: “Why would the so-called “Supreme Leader,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war torn Country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie, it is not so. As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie. His Country was decimated, his three evil Nuclear Sites were OBLITERATED, and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life. I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, “THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!”

I don't think Khamenei really cares much about his own personal survival. But in any event, killing Khamenei would be a terrible, terrible blunder. Let him talk all he wants! The more the better! Iranians already know he lies his ass off. But they would see killing the Supreme Leader as a horrendous attack on their sovereignty. More so than the nuclear sites, I believe. Besides, why does Trump give up so much information that the doesn't need to? He's going to end up burning Iranian assets. HE knew where the Supreme Leader was - great, now the SL knows there are U.S. and/or Israeli moles in his inner circle feeding information to the enemy. Khamenei is a complete and total jerkwad. Don't make him a martyr. And Donald please STFU - Is he going to start bragging about how highly placed his informers are? But Donald, please do go on about $1.98 gas and the Civil War ending in 1869 or "whatever." Jesus that "whatever" is so incredibly lame, but maybe again he is telling silly lies to take attention off of other things.

Also: Did the White House or anyone claim that the bunker busters WERE used on the Isfahan site? The one I kept hearing about was Fordow. Unless the White House specifically said Isfahan was hit with the MOP or whatever this is not a big deal to me.

For years before his first term, every time I managed to suppress my gag reflex and listen to Trump, I could hear him describing all and every single immigrants from latino countries as criminals, fiends, a blight on American values and social services, etc.
Those people are blind, deaf, and mostly stupendously stupid !

They are also politically conservative.

It's like when he shared intelligence with those Russian diplomats shortly after starting his first term. He compromised several sources that time. And he did it solely to show off. He wants people to be super impressed that he is the President and gets to see all the secret spy stuff. He's like a bored 13 year old at home with his friends while his parents are out, saying, "Wanna see something cool? I know where my dad hides his gun!". That's the level of responsibility he's at.

Also his cultits believe everything he tells them, so why wouldn't he.
 
The people on r/conservative are not all MAGA - and I have mixed feelings about that. A lot of them seem to be single-issue people, and as long as he supports *their* issue at least kind of, sort of, he has a coalition. The cultists don't necessarily believe him all the time. They just give him a pass. Anyway Dems need to be messaging what they are for: Only strategic tariffs; reproductive choice, universal health care; and ... possibly state's rights to regulate AI? Because this seemed to really bug some conservative people.

I don't know if it's good or bad, but the big booty-full bill bars states from regulating AI for 10 years.

Jesus, he's a moron. Who gives a crap what Putin, etc says? Of all the people, Trump should fathom people lying or saying whatever your customer wants to hear.
 
Today, I met a really nice guy. The only problem is he seems to believe everything Trump says. Not sure why, but he does. We were talking about beef and pork production. We got there because I mentioned I use to live in Sioux City Iowa. I said at one time it had the largest stock yards in the world after the stock yards in Chicago shut down. (My father told me this.) Turns out it wasn't ever true. They were big. Just not that big. Anyway I also said most of the Sioux City stock yards shut down in the 1980s.

Anyway this guy said that most of the meat processing was no longer done in the US. That it almost all was done in Argentina now because of low wages there. And Trump was going to fix that. He said American cattle was shipped to Argentina where they slaughtered the animals and the finished butchered meat was then shipped back to the US supermarkets. This didn't ring true to me because shipping etc costs a lot of money. And meat is perishable. But I didn't say anything at the time because I didn't know.

So when I came home I started researching this claim. It turns out it is totally false. The beef, pork, and chicken consumed in the US is more than 99% raised and processed in the US. The US is largest beef producing country in the world. China is the largest pork producer but, they ship little of that to North America.

Do Trump supporters ever bother to fact check him? This took me about 15 minutes.

Unfortunately, that's not really it. It's closer to "with the obvious robbers that were trying to scope out his house" than "with his friends." That's the level of responsibility he's at.
