The Official President Trump Thread - Second Term Edition

Trump made a "lebowski style" mirror years ago...and he finally makes the cover of Time Magazine

...and he's whining just because the photo makes him look like he's a bald man with balls for a chin

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to relocate World Cup matches set to be played next year in Boston, parts of which he'd suggested had been "taken over" by recent unrest.

Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, home to the NFL's New England Patriots and about 30 miles from Boston, is set to stage seven matches as the U.S. co-hosts the 2026 World Cup with Mexico and Canada. Trump was asked about the city's mayor, Michelle Wu, a Democrat whom he called "intelligent" but "radical left."

"We could take them away," Trump said of the games. "I love the people of Boston, and I know the games are sold out. But your mayor is not good."

 

@StupidMoniker this is what you socialism. Funny how libertarians spent decades spewing propoganda that the evil left were big government freaks when in reality it was the Republicans all along

 

Price controls.

If Biden had even whispered the words in his sleep he would have caused right wing spontanious combustion. Trump actually does it? Good idea!

Also, it is severely inflationary and the number one reason every economist since the 1920's will tell you the best way to start an inflationary cycle that'll totally debase your currency is to **** with price equilibrium. Price controls was always the first thing Reaganites would point to as destroying the economies of Communist countries and eliminating them is credited by real actual conservatives with helping end the 1970s stagflation loop.

I'm sure it'll work out fine this time, though.

It's like we're living in Bizarroworld, where up means down, and free market means planned economy.

 

Just one problem. He doesn't run FIFA. He has nothing to do with the administration of this tournament and can't demand much of anything.

Actually 2 problems...FOXBOROUGH ISN'T IN BOSTON. It's 30 freakin miles away...which for a state like Massachusetts, is like completely across the state.

 

Actually, it was both, as I have said over and over again. You are pretending like the Democrats weren't trying to have price ceilings. The government shouldn't be involved in pricing sales of private goods at all.

 

Who was the last democratic president that introduced price controls?

Who was the last democratic president who took equity stakes of corporations in exchange for congressional approved grant?

Who was the last democratic president who sent agents breaking into apartments with no warrant or probable cause ?

Who was the last democratic president who unilaterally raised taxes by hundreds of billions without going through congress? (Tariffs)

Clinging onto this deranged both side stuff doesn't make you intelligent. There has never been a administration that has stomped on the constitution like Trump.

 

again, another baseless claim

during peace time, price control was practiced by Nixon, now Trump is talking about it.

if only you'd name one Dem POTUS, during peace time, practice price control

 

It is the drug price "negotiation" in the IRA. When the government can force you to participate in the negotiation with a 95% tax if you refuse, that is a price control.

Biden, so the most recent one.

Also Biden, took a 10% equity stake in Intel under the CHIPs act.

Every president ever has sent agents breaking into homes without a warrant (you should have specified in the United States).

The fact that other presidents used a complicit congress to raise my taxes is irrelevant to me.

I'm not clinging to anything. I don't like the way Democrats run the country, be it in Congress or as President. I don't like the way Republicans run the country, be it in Congress or as President. I actually don't like both sides.

 

- biden did not take a 10% stake in Intel. Biden passed the CHIPS act which Trump took the funding from and illegally strong armed Intel into giving up equity

-drug negotiations is nothing alike what Trump is proposing. The government as a business has the legal autbority to negotiate drug prices with companies that want to sell them to medicare holders. The drug companies at any time can choose not to sell to Medicare and sell on their own. Nothing similar

-A republican congress would never in a million years approve of hundreds of billions in New taxes that the Trump folks pushed through via tariffs.

If a president skipping over congress and unilaterally raising hundreds of billions in new taxes doesnt bother you then you are a lost cause and a disingenuous hack. You arent a libertarian.

 

Every accusation is a confession. The Rs must be scared shitless that the IRS will go after R donors and PACs.


Trump overhauling IRS to prosecute Democratic donors

 

Who gives a ****? This is the type of stuff Trump does because he cannot do anything about the larger issues..... it is pandering, and works with some people now, but if the economy continues as it is, no one will care if it is Columbus Day or Chuckie Cheese Day.
