What don't you understand about the fact that I cited the Wall Street Journal, a publication owned by Rupert Murdoch? It's their expertise I am using. Not mine.

You really are a very dishonest person. Misleading much? Here's what the poll said about Americans attitude toward ukraine: 59% of voters oppose the Trump administration leaving Ukraine’s leaders out of negotiations with Russia. 55% of voters oppose the exclusion of European leaders. 57% of voters oppose the Trump administration forcing Ukraine to make territorial concessions to end the war, and 66% of voters say Ukraine should receive security guarantees from the U.S. if it were to make concessions.

As usual you don't address the facts. Apple's investment was planned well before Trump and it's now repackaging it. You're just a sucker.

Bought any Trump meme coins?

What a moronic comment. Clearly you either didn't read the article or were unable to understand it, This has been in the works a long time and is consistent with Apple's previous plans,

Republicans Critical of Biden’s Stance During Meeting with Xi Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas tweeted, “Joe Biden has again failed to address or even acknowledge China’s Cold War against the United States. His naive return to a policy of appeasement will hurt the United States, endanger Taiwan, and further embolden Xi Jinping.” Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, also a Republican, tweeted, “Xi Jinping is focused on global domination, not working with the Biden administration on climate change.” https://www.voanews.com/a/republicans-critical-of-biden-s-stance-during-meeting-with-xi/6838139.html

You might try broadening your news sources just a little. This is from Rupert Murdoch's Wall St. Journal: Apple’s $500 Billion U.S. Investment Is Mostly Already in the Books Expansion plan in America is in line with company’s spending pattern and efforts to diversify manufacturing away from China https://archive.ph/Xpt3i

One difference between you and me is that I can act smart. Given your comments here and elsewhere, achieving that is something you clearly are incapable of.

Funny. When Biden was in office, right-wingers were screaming about how Biden was failing to protect Taiwan. I guess that was a performance too? As for what I do and don't care about, thanks for the cheesy mind reading act. You've got nothing.

To your way of thinking no matter what the price, peace is preferable to war. Funny how the right-wingers play up the second Amendment as a necessity to violently resist government tyranny in the name of freedom, but at the same time think it better for foreigners to bow down to tyrants rather than fight freedom. And I suppose you believe that this attitude will in no way encourage the Chinese to invade Taiwan? I guess you don't have much use for the Declaration of Independence either.

Trust you to miss the point about failing to stand up against aggression and appeasing aggressors.

Trump should definitely win the Neville Chamberlain Award.

Last week, Elon Musk’s government cost-slashing initiative, dubbed the Department of Government Efficiency, posted an online “wall of receipts,” celebrating how much it had saved by canceling federal contracts. Now the organization, which is also known as the U.S. DOGE Service, has deleted all of the five biggest “savings” on that original list, after The New York Times and other media outlets pointed out they were riddled with errors. The last of the original top five disappeared from the site in the early hours of Tuesday, even as the group claimed in its latest update that its savings to date had increased to $65 billion. https://archive.ph/ez9Kw#selection-869.0-897.193

Few voters likely expected President Trump in the first weeks of his administration to slash billions of dollars from the nation's premier federal cancer research agency. But funding cuts to the NIH were presaged in Project 2025's "Mandate for Leadership opens in a new tab or window," a conservative plan for governing that Trump said he knew nothing about during his campaign. Now, his administration has embraced it. The 922-page playbook compiled by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research group in Washington, says "the NIH monopoly on directing research should be broken" and calls for capping payments to universities and their hospitals to "help reduce federal taxpayer subsidization of leftist agendas." https://www.medpagetoday.com/washington-watch/washington-watch/114347?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2025-02-24&mh=a5389936c4a2867becca2f39fc13bf38&zdee=gAAAAABm4uOsSGSCaogbfgmbuotYWOr_ZMkyvtXfRtBIG3PmSoUMOGXIC-tiTlZZ7Bfn4b3FkEXHf_19M6YFwlvv-7gjl9Y0eLErrBVvJZRyfD6LnTu4AP4%3D&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily Headlines Evening - Randomized 2025-02-24&utm_term=NL_Daily_DHE_dual-gmail-definition

Or maybe stop lying about the cuts they have made and how they can make? But if you're a genuine Trumpista, you'll probably prefer the fantasy.

Like all those Marxist park rangers?

A WSJ analysis of government data found that many claims of savings were overstated and ‘woke’ cuts were only a tiny fraction of the total https://archive.ph/Oi1c5 From the Marxist leninists at Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street journal.

Social media posts cited what they called the "US Debt Clock" and said, "DOGE has saved taxpayers $64 billion dollars in just 17 days." There is no evidence to support this claim. The posts pointed to USDebtClock.org, but the website provided no source or explanation for its "DOGE Clock" counter with a rapidly increasing multibillion-dollar savings total, which had hit $121 billion by Feb. 21. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2025/feb/21/social-media/does-a-us-debt-clock-prove-doge-has-saved-64-billi/

Let's face it. You don't care about facts. When it was pointed out that you're claim about Trump inheriting 200 million instead of 500 million was false, you reply was that you didn't care. You don't care about facts. Facts you don't like you claim are leftist. Stay ignorant.

Ignorance is bliss. Stay happy.

Try to keep in mind that he his gather gave him about half a billion dollars. And a business that Trump ran into the ground. Whether smart or not, ethically speaking, he's a slimeball.

I think the reason that Trump supporters here are having problems understanding the problem is that they don't know what "conflict of interests" means. (Maybe because they are not native speakers of English?) Anyway, here's a definition: "A conflict of interest (COI) is a situation in which a person or organization is involved in multiple interests, financial or otherwise, and serving one interest could involve working against another. Typically, this relates to situations in which the personal interest of an individual or organization might adversely affect a duty owed to make decisions for the benefit of a third party." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict_of_interest

It's funny. Your takeaway from this is that Trump is smart. So you think that other presidents didn't engage in flagrant conflicts of interest because they weren't smart? He's just greedy and ethically clueless. The system of governance always assumed that the Chief Executive would have some respect for ethics and morality. So it's not built for a creature like Trump. Or a Supreme Court that enables his criminal activity. Or Americans who actually believe there's nothing wrong in setting up a system where bribery is enabled.

It was a joke. The point being of course, that Trump's meme coin makes it possible to win his favor with money with little chance of being outed. You may recall that Qatar once helped to bail out the Kushner family from a disastrous investment made by Jared Kushner. It was a deal that made no financial sense for the investors. It was only due to a quirk of NY State law that Qatar's participation was revealed. At the time, Kushner was in charge of Middle East affairs. He was working to reconcile the Saudis and the Qataris.
