Trump's Second Term

California

Trump:We're looking at California too, because California is worse, but you know, if we find 50%—they've been robbing and ripping off this country for many years, decades, right? If we find 50% of what's happened, we have a balanced budget.

Is he any relation to Father Dougal McGuire?

Two possibilities

I would agree except for the fact that the 2 countries already have a signed agreement about the construction and operation of the bridge. Canada paid entirely for its construction, using roughly half US workers and materials. Ontario and Michigan jointly own it from the start. Canada will collect tolls until their 6.4B investment is paid after which time toll revenue will be split evenly. Trump even fast tracked the project in his first term and praised it several times.

You can't expect him to remember that.

It is a model of cooperation between nations.

Not as far as Trump is concerned, because both sides benefit. He thinks there has to be a loser.

Trump: "We have to go back to the old system. When we have good news, the market should go up. When we have bad news, the market should go down. And we'll take care of inflation as it comes

Good lard, he doesn't even understand the basic mechanics of the market.

Call it Trump bridge - throw him a licencing deal for the use of his name i.e. a bribe and hey presto no problem.

The name can be kept, but give the licencing deal to his niece.

I bet the only reason he is interested in the interest figure is because he vaguely remembers loans he had in the past that used the base rate to set the loans' interest rates and lower meant better for him.

I thought it was because Epstein poached one of his girls.

Trump bought a property Epstein wanted to buy. Trump then sold it at a huge profit to a Russian, Russian, Russian oligarch were wanting to launder money.

He thinks there has to be a loser.

One of his many failings as a human being.

Is Laura Loomer really this stupid, or does she just think her followers are?

That's the falsest of dichotomies. Yes, she is, and no, she doesn't think at all. Even though they are.

Trump Friendly Pollster Stuns With Survey Comparing Biden And Trump’s Job Performance​

President Donald Trump was hit with some very negative numbers this week from a polling firm that is typically considered far more favorable to the president.

According to a Rasmussen survey released on Tuesday, 56% of likely U.S. voters disapprove of Trump’s performance thus far in the White House. The numbers got worse from there, especially when his performance was compared to that of former President Joe Biden.

When asked who did a better job as president, 48% answered with Biden and 40% answered Trump. Another 8% say they have performed about the same. The survey was conducted between February 2-4 among more than 1,000 likely voters. It carries a margin of error of 3%.

Rasmussen is widely considered a conservative polling outlet favorable to the president, and he’s often cited them to talk up his approval among voters. Rasmussen’s social media accounts regularly boost conservative talking points and culture war issues, while slamming Democrats and the left as out of touch.

According to the latest numbers, 29% strongly approve of Trump’s job performance, while 46% strongly disapprove.

It got 6 million "views". Watching for 30 seconds and then leaving counts as a view.

They encouraged people to watch on different devices to increase the view count.

America is reborn. Less than two years ago we had a basket case at the helm and a blithering idiot a heartbeat away from the nuclear button. Now we have a man of peace reshaping an “America First” world with quiet power

He's about five years too late with that comment.

Trump: We can grow at 15%.

Kudlow: 15 is a big number.

Trump: We used to grow at 15%… when we were starting as a country we were growing because we had the right incentives. Today, we have a lot of socialism

And it's nigh certain that any Democrats who come after the Trump catastrophe, provided that elections aren't broken completely, will get heavily blamed for all that pain, yet again.

Democrats find Donald Trump's name in the Epstein files... and it's the exact OPPOSITE of what they alleged.

Consider this hoax debunked
