    Look, Bot,

    Trump did jacks**t for the economy during Covid, and Biden inherited the post-Covid fallout. Supply chain issues, companies raking consumers over the coals to get back the money lost during Covid (and then some).

    Both Presidents handed out stimulus checks, which raised inflation numbers.

    Now Scump and his billionaire cabinet are likely pocketing money from the tariffs. None of them can be accused of having much intellect, but they must really be making some cash if they're willing to tell such brazen lies over who pays for the tariffs.

    GOOD DAY.

    Does this really matter in the grand scheme of things? The Kennedy Center decided to add Trump to their name. Trump didn't tell them to add his name to the facility.

    Israel and Nettenyahu gave Trump their highest honor, 1st time in history this honor went to a non Israeli.Trump didn't ask them to give him this honor.

    Etc...

    More proof that Trump does not understand business ...


    PhDs Can't Find Work as Boston's Biotech Engine Sputters

    Boston's biotech sector, long a vital economic engine for one of America's wealthiest metro areas, is sputtering. A double whammy of cutbacks in venture capital and government funding have taken a toll, leading to layoffs and struggles for job seekers. For workers who thought they would easily launch into a well-paying science career, the downturn has been especially harsh.

    Massachusetts experienced a slight decline in its roughly 65,000 biotech research-and-development jobs in 2024 after years of mostly strong increases, including during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to federal data. The numbers indicate that job losses continued through at least June, while hiring remains sluggish. By the end of September, nearly 28% of greater Boston's laboratory space sat empty, according to the latest estimates from real-estate firm CBRE. "Every stage of the life cycle has been impacted by policy or regulatory uncertainty this year," said Kendalle Burlin O'Connell, chief executive of MassBio, an industry trade group. The impact has hit startups especially hard, she said.

    There is a strong chance that you do not know of what you speak.

    Trump loaded the board of The Kennedy Center with Trump loyalist and Trump made Trump the chairman of the board.

    The Kennedy board made that decision, not Trump.

    It's like the lefts entire world revolves around Trump.

    Yeah, you want me to have recorded conversations of Donald Trump?

    Dude, you can't possibly be this dense. He fired the entire board, made himself chairman, and you want to say the board just did this on their own? Ultimate head in the sand for something freaking trivial. Only a narcissist like Trump would do something like this.

    You really are naive aren't you?
    Trump removed existing board members and appointed his own loyalists, making himself chairman. Then the new board voted to add Trump's name. LOL, gee, surprise surprise.

    Also, about that award you are so proud Trump was given. Again, are you that naive? It was so pathetic how Netaynhu dressed just like Trump in their meeting, and once again gave him a special award to stroke his ego and tighten their bromance. War criminals like Putin and Netaynhu know just how well flattery works with Trump when it comes to getting what they want down the road.

    Correct, who wrote this article and nobody handpicks the board of the Kennedy Center.

    More likely because he helped get the renovations to the Kennedy Center done and put Bobby on cabinet they decided to put his name on the Kennedy Center. I actually enjoy the fact that they put his name on the wall forever so I could watch people like you freak out. It's hilarious. BTW, other POTUS have had other things named after them and I bet you didn't have any issues at all then. Heck Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize and he didn't deserve it and you didn't see conservatives freaking out like the libs currently are doing now.

    Nettenyahu is a great leader. He's defending his people against evil. Violence and death are the only thing Hamas understands. BTW, who killed who in cold blood on Oct 7th? Anything that the IDF did after that was justified IMHO. Afterall the Palestinians elected Hamas into power so they voted for what they got.

    It's not like the Kennedy Center was named in honor of a slain president by congress or anything.

    Oh...

    Hamas is evil. I have no problem killing terrorist groups.

    But, Netaynhu is evil too. Killing and bombing the arms and legs off of thousands of innocent children and starving babies and people to death is evil. Yeah, that's just sick. He's committing genocide. He committed horrific crimes upon humanity.

    Your idea of a good leader is far different than mine. That's obvious.

    No... this is where liberalism warps your mind of truth. He is responding to a death cult that no one can live alongside. Because that death cult does not value human life, they intentionally use their own civilians as shields and PR while firing missiles at Israeli's. Your viewpoint is due to your position as a privileged white woman and nothing else. Accept your own privilege before placing false, misinformed judgment on others.

    Trump himself posted this back in February on Truth Social.......

    I have decided to immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture. We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP!

    In February Trump removed David Rubenstein, the biggest individual donor in the Kennedy Center's history, from his position as the board's chairman.

    Later....

    Before voting to add Donald Trump's name to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the center's bylaws were altered to ensure the measure would pass without opposition, according to new reporting.

    According to documents obtained by the Washington Post, after Trump purged the board and replaced members with his appointees—including himself, Vice President JD Vance's wife Usha, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Dan Scavino, who oversees the president's Truth Social account.

    Later....

    New bylaws were adopted in May that restricted voting eligibility.

    Kennedy Center changed board rules months before vote to add Trump's name

    The new rules say only trustees appointed by the president can vote, barring other members, including Democrats who hold seats, from decisions.

    Or the POTUS put that slain POTUS nephew on his cabinet. Also the nephews father was also slain. I don't see what the big deal is?
