Trump's Second Term

acbytesla said:
Trump is great for American farmers. In the last 3 weeks, the US has lost 9 billion dollars in contracts from Japan, Germany, France, Italy and the UK. They went to Canadian farmers. Canadian exports of agricultural products increased as much as 35 percent from April to June.

Sorry for the late reply; I'm reviewing older posts. Do you have a cite for this? A quick search on DuckDuckGo didn't turn up any stories.
 
As of the close of the day on July 12, my positive/negative score on the Trump administration stands at -947.

387. Homan: “People need to understand ICE officers and Border Patrol don’t need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them ... based on their physical appearance.”

388. Reporter: “Families are upset because warnings didn’t go out in time. What do you say to those families?”
TRUMP: “Well I think everyone did an incredible job under the circumstances. This was a one in 1,000 years. Only a bad person would ask a question like that. Only an evil person would ask a question like that.”

389. Trump: “We’ll be helping you from Washington DC like no other president would do. Nobody else. Nobody else would do it. Nobody else would even get back to you. You’re fully funded, as you know ... the state of Texas, they do it right.”

390. (Via Aaron Rupar) Kristi Noem: “They aren’t just liberals anymore. If you look at the Democrat Party, they’re a party of communists and Marxists and socialists.”

391. (Via Aaron Rupar) A deranged Trump claims Obama and Hillary wrote the Epstein files and urges people to not care about them

392. Trump: “Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

385. Kristi Noem: “Remember what our streets were like under the last administration. How dangerous it was. President Trump and these ICE officers are going after murders and rapists.”

386. Steve Scalise: “Disabled people will get better Medicaid under this bill because all of the fully able-bodied -- the 35-year-old guy sitting at home playing video games in his mom’s basement -- he’s gonna have to go work, because we put work requirements in place. And so he will not be crowding out disabled people in Medicaid.”

381. The White House: “ICE Remains Undeterred in Getting Dangerous Criminal Illegals Off Our Streets
The brave men and women of ICE are under siege by deranged Democrats - but undeterred in their mission. Every day, these heroes put their own lives on the line to get the worst of the worst - criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, gangbangers, and other violent criminals - off our streets and out of our neighborhoods.”
The truth is over 75% of people arrested by ICE in 2025 have had no interaction with law enforcement.

382. English is the official language of Liberia.

383. Reporter: “Why do you think the Chinese is buying up so much farmland so close to military installations?”
TRUMP: “I don’t want to get into that. I have a very good relationship with President Xi. They’re paying a lot of tariffs.”

384. Trump: “In New England, for 50 years they had two whales washed up. And last summer they had 14 washed up. Now, I’m not saying that’s the wind farm that was built, but maybe it is. Probably is.”

More sanctions on Cuba! Including the Cuban president, in general Trump seems opposed to taking actions against presidents.
"The U.S. will continue to stand for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of the people of Cuba, and make clear no illegitimate, dictatorial regimes are welcome in our hemisphere,” Rubio said in the statement.

The US of course has a long tradition of welcoming legitimate i.e. pro-American dictatorial regimes.
State Department also would impose visa restrictions on Cuban judicial and prison officials “responsible for, or complicit in, the unjust detention and torture of the July 2021 protesters.”

It may be worth reminding the Trump regime which other country has held people without trial and due process and tortured them on the island of Cuba.

He's claiming ownership of the whole hemisphere now? And what, dictatorships are fine South of the Equator?
