The Official President Trump Thread - Second Term Edition

Treasury Secretary Bessent is just beating the brakes off these weasel journalists. It’s just like when I smack down astros123 around here! In fact I’ve won with this very argument numerous times. The libs just don’t understand economics. America’s swap line in Argentina was a massive win — financially and diplomatically. We made big money — just like I predicted.




GOOD DAY

 

This version of Biden, is the best Biden ever.

Analytically.

Intellectually.

Cognitively.

 

This is you, a far left delusional, crafting a narrative based on your feelings.

10 years ago when a democrat said it, you either didn't care or went along with the thought that we don't have the resources to support every asylum seeker (most just want to live in America, they aren't under actual threat) in the world and allowing everyone entry leads to a system that gets taken advantage of and fails. Clinton and Obama ran on this.

Now you straight up claim it's slavery if we don't allow anyone who wants to come over into the country to do whatever they want, receive whatever benefits they want and just hope in their state of desperation they don't assault, kill, rape or loot anyone. And if they do, so what? It's truly a dangerous, suicidal mentality.

 

No other recent documentary had 80 million dollars behind it and was paid to be in every cinema in the west. The documentary will end up losing 60 million for Amazon but they knew it was a cost of doing business cuz they knew the government will throw them contracts.



Amazon just signed a 581 million contract in January so the ROI is positive



Witnessing the most corrupt administration in American history which is why everyone should be obligated to laugh at you cultists when you talk about "corruption" @K9Texan . Brainwashed people

Biden spoke with Kevin McCarthy and Mike Johnson numerous times in 2023 and both house leaders said biden was perfectly fine. He got worst in 2024 and couldnt handle the stress of a campaign which is why rightfully dropped out which i called for in 2023.

 

That was just the cost of acquiring it, the cost of business in the Trump world -- that's how things work. It will leg out and do well for a documentary based on the actual production cost. Older women find her interesting and aspirational.

Trump is a transactional businessman who's good in terms of policy making far outweigh this quality. Amazon is a highly reputable company with a track record of integrity and success -- compare this to democrats who gave the nuclear program to a cross dressing baldie who stole women's luggage as a fetish. To a press secretary who announces her race and sexuality every time she walks in to the room. A supreme court judge based on gender and race, straight from Biden's mouth.There's no basis to criticize trump's transactional approach when we are coming from a worst case scenario that is Biden admin.

 

Youre talking about sheer corruption and pay to play. When you say hes "transactional" you mean corrupt. Bidens brother was a lobbyist for Amazon yet bidens doj sued to break up Amazon and was Amazon biggest enemy. What you support by worshipping Trump is sheer utter corruption where the oligarchs thrive and working class Americans see their Healthcare premiums double.

Bidens FTC went after oligarchs and filed more monopoly antitrust suits than all admits combined. There was nothing corrupt about the biden admin other and house Republicans had 2 years and found nothing.

Youre brainwashed

 

My whole point about today's dems and why they should be treated as purely an emotional group.

They fight against the policies their own party championed in the 2000's.

There is a reason most logical dems have become "conservative."

Not because they are "Nazi's" or any other brain dead rhetoric you see in here.

Its because they actually stay true to themselves and don't change due to what their party does.

If 10 years from now. The Dems go back to the early 2000's type policies. Everyone in here will have shifted as well because that is what there MSM tells them. Hysterical.

 

and then

Boy, you must be super pissed about the Rs changing policy positions due to Trump.

I will start searching for your D&D post calling Trump and the Rs out on tariffs, rule of law, corruption, invading NATO countries, ...

 

Go for it.

I have been openly against Trump in some policies and have called republicans out for optics related to the recent deaths of anti Ice protestors.

Libs on here can't handle objectiveness so they have to spend time pulling up posts from several years back to try and prove a point.

You could stay on topic but that has been hard to do for yall.

 

I have no idea what you are talking about. Seriously, no idea.

It is like you are repeating a SCW empty partisan talking point, as if it is a factual truth. Just like.

I guess that I could complain about how SCWs don't have opinions as much as party approved talking points, but I won't. When I read D&D conservative posts that make no sense, I know what the talking points are that making the rounds in the SCW echo chamber.

 

The surprising reason young Trump voters feel betrayed

Donald Trump continues to bleed support from the young voters who made an unexpected swing for him in 2024, and according to a new report from Vox, there is a surprising reason driving the trend: they do not want to fight his wars.

Much has been made about Gen Z support for Trump and what drove it. Many surveys and focus groups have concluded that these young voters, like the rest of the American electorate, were primarily driven by economic concerns. This issue is generally viewed as more pressing for young people, who have considerably less income to work with than their older counterparts.

Writing for Vox in a piece published Tuesday, Rachel Janfaza — founder of The Up and Up, a research firm dedicated to Gen Z — noted that while economic factors remained the biggest factor in young voters' regret over supporting Trump, they also consistently shared another, less-reported reason they felt betrayed by the president's second term.

"In my work as a researcher, this is something I heard in focus groups and on campus quads at the time," Janfaza wrote. "Yes, economic issues mattered the most, but a surprising number volunteered that they were worried about the US being dragged into conflicts — and what it would mean for the generation that would be tasked with fighting them."​

 

Give the people what they want!

 

Trump sued over 'corrupt and illegal' gold card 'scheme'

Former ethics czar and Democracy Defenders Fund founder Norm Eisen is after President Donald Trump in court with a new lawsuit to block a pay-to-play scheme.

On Bluesky, Eisen wrote that his group is suing Trump over the so-called "gold card" visa that allows anyone to fast-track citizenship for $1 million.

"This is about the rule of law — the president can't auction U.S. visas to the highest bidder," Eisen complained on the social media site.

The longtime Trump foe spoke to The New York Times about the program's illegality: it bypasses key congressional requirements and prioritizes the wealthy over those with high abilities or intellect.

“Rather than reserving those visas for the world’s best and brightest, the Gold Card program converts those visas into revenue-generating commodities sold to the highest bidder,” the lawsuit claims.

One of those who has taken advantage of the program is Nicki Minaj, a native of the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago, who wants U.S. citizenship. While she's a permanent resident, she came to the U.S. illegally as a child, she said on Instagram in 2018.

“If you look at the statute, you can tell Congress made some pretty deliberate decisions about how they wanted to structure the availability of these visas,” Sarah Wilson, one of the lawyers who brought the lawsuit with Eisen.

The statute puts merit-based visas into either the EB-1 or EB-2 categories.

“None of those categories include ‘give us a million dollars,’” Wilson added.

Trump admin deploys 'secretive legal weapon' against retiree for criticizing DHS

President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security is employing a "secretive legal weapon" to target and surveil Americans, according to a new report.

The Washington Post on Tuesday relaying the story of a retiree who found himself on the receiving end of it after speaking out against the deportation case against an Afghan asylum seeker.

"He had decided that the America he believed in would not make it if people like him didn’t speak up, so on a cool, rainy morning in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Jon, 67 and recently retired, marched up to his study and began to type," the Post's report detailed. "He had just read about the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s case against an Afghan it was trying to deport. The immigrant, identified in The Washington Post’s Oct. 30 investigation as H, had begged federal officials to reconsider, telling them the Taliban would kill him if he was returned to Afghanistan."

The retiree told the Post that he found the story "unconscionable," and after a quick Google search, he was able to find the email address of Joseph Dernbach, the lead prosecutor in H's case, named in the original story.

“Mr. Dernbach, don’t play Russian roulette with H’s life,” he wrote in an email. “Err on the side of caution. There’s a reason the US government along with many other governments don’t recognise the Taliban. Apply principles of common sense and decency.”

A little over five hours later, he received an email alert from Google notifying him that it had "received legal process from a Law Enforcement authority compelling the release of information related to your Google Account," listing the process as a subpoena and the authority as DHS. Not long after that alert, "men with badges" were at his door.

This was an example of an administrative subpoena – a tool that the federal government under Trump is increasingly leaning on — as they do not require authorizations from a judge or grand jury. "Tech experts and former agency staff" told the Post that thousands of these subpoenas are issued each year, potentially tens of thousands. They are "not subject to independent review, they can take just minutes to write up and, former staff say, officials throughout the agency, even in mid-level roles, have been given the authority to approve them."

"Though the U.S. government had been accused under previous administrations of overstepping laws and guidelines that restrict the subpoenas’ use, privacy and civil rights groups say that, under President Donald Trump, Homeland Security has weaponized the tool to strangle free speech," the report explained. "For many Americans, the anonymous ICE officer, masked and armed, represents Homeland Security’s most intimidating instrument, but the agency often targets people in a far more secretive way."

“There’s no oversight ahead of time, and there’s no ramifications for having abused it after the fact,” Jennifer Granick, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, told the outlet. “As we are increasingly in a world where unmasking critics is important to the administration, this type of legal process is ripe for that kind of abuse.”

In a post to X, Drew Harwell, a technology reporter for the Post, decried these subpoenas as "a Kafkaesque form of domestic surveillance, intimidating Americans for lawful speech."​

This is the USA going straight to the Banana Republic of Trump, skipping the United States of Trump.


Steve Bannon calls for armed federal agents to 'surround the polls' during midterms

 

Trump has always been bad at doing things.

"The president, aware of polls showing that much of his immigration agenda isn’t popular, has told advisers he wasn’t comfortable with how far Miller has gone on some fronts, according to people who have spoken with Trump," the Journal reported. "The president has said that business officials are calling and complaining to him about longtime workers being thrown out of the country."​

Trump is acting like he has no idea what ICE is actually doing. And when it is brought to his attention that ICE has been misbehaving for an entire year Trump is pretending that it is news to him ... despite him cheerleading the bad behavior the entire time.

 

Behold the hidden 7% GDP growth from the Trump Economic Miracle!!!

At the most recent Cabinet meeting, SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler parroted, “The $18 trillion you brought in created an economic boom like none we’ve ever seen before. We are going to have 7% GDP growth. GDP Now is probably being underestimated where it is.”​

 

I've seen a couple of stories in print media that seem like they're trying to place all the responsibility for what ICE did in Minneapolis on Greg Bovino, now that he's out of the picture. I suspect there is an organized strategy to dump the responsibility for an extremely unpopular policy on a scapegoat to try and insulate Trump.
