I thought we were buds Elon!! What a clown show. First golden boy now arch enemy that Steve Bannon is calling to be deported🤣

The post is about staff and cabinet turnover, not personal knowledge and abilities of staff. Do you know how to use an AI interface? Ask it this question. Compare Donald Trumps individual cabinet and advisor qualifications against Joe Bidens

Sure, Bobby, you just took a left turn. The post is about Trump remember? Not party policy preferences.

So, to post surveys from a pretty well established right leaning survey group doesn't say much. Here's is a summary assessment. The Trafalgar Group has a unique place in the polling landscape. They earned a strong reputation for their 2016 predictions, which they attribute to their "shy voter" methodology. However, their subsequent performance has been mixed, and they face ongoing criticism for their opaque methodology and perceived Republican bias, leading to a fluctuating reputation for the accuracy of their surveys Gallup: Latest (May 1-18, 2025): 43% approval, 53% disapproval. Key insight: Gallup notes that independent views of Trump have changed meaningfully this year, now at 33% approval versus 46% in January. His approval reflects 90% from Republicans and 4% from Democrats. Gallup is considered a gold standard for consistent, long-term presidential approval tracking. Pew Research Center: Latest (April 7-13, 2025): 40% approval, 59% disapproval. Key insight: Pew reported a 7-point drop in his approval since February, with a more pronounced decline among less enthusiastic supporters and 2024 nonvoters. Pew is known for its in-depth research and commitment to nonpartisanship. Reuters/Ipsos: Latest (May 17-19, 2025): 42% approval. Key insight: This poll found a slight dip from the previous week (44%) and matches the lowest level of his new term. They also note Americans have a "dour view" of his handling of the economy. Ipsos is a global research company that conducts polls for Reuters, generally seen as a reliable source.

Recent inquires to several AI systems reveal that Donald Trumps claims of "being able to pick the best and brightest people" seems to have back fired on him as many of his picks get fired or resign during his tenure as POTUS as shown here: Based on available data from the last 30 years (which primarily covers the administrations of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden), Donald Trump has had the highest turnover in both cabinet picks and advisors. Here's a breakdown: Cabinet Turnover: Donald Trump had 18 cabinet-level resignations during his presidency, significantly more than George W. Bush (3) or Barack Obama (8).. Advisor/Senior Staff ("A-Team") Turnover: Trump's "A-Team" turnover reached 92% by the end of his term, compared to 74% for Bill Clinton and 71% for Barack Obama. His first-year turnover was also notably higher than predecessors. Elon Musk: POTUS golden boy Musk is the latest in a long line of "fast friends" that have turned on Trump. Even Musk, a confirmed Ketamine addict couldn't stand Trumps erratic and uninformed decisions concerning the economy and a host of other issues. DOGE has crumbled in the wake of fabricated figures and out and out falsehoods.

It might happen! Terrible businessman. He's pretty good at bankrupting the most difficult business to bankrupt. The Casino Business. Trump Taj Mahal: Grand Opening, Quick Bankruptcy: Billed as the "eighth wonder of the world," the Trump Taj Mahal opened in 1990 after costing over $600 million to build, largely financed by junk bonds with high interest rates. It filed for bankruptcy just a year later in 1991.

Really? People drink beer? That's amazing! Wow, the stuff you can learn from the punters on this board is just ... underwhelming

Wow! you know you could have been a Doctor! Your whit is mind numbing.

Hey, if the shoe fits where it. The guy says some pretty stupid sh!t almost daily. Since old DT has been and is the US President, his sophomoric BS goes down in history and a lot of it is so stupid it comes to the front of ones mind for some fun repartee! So, someone suggesting drinking lots of beer "to flush the HIV out" is just as moronic as suggesting shining a bright light up your butt might cure Covid 19.

Suphon, a 47-year-old motorbike taxi driver, voiced his frustration: “We can’t force customers to wear shared helmets. If we do, they just walk away or don’t take the ride. We lose income either way,” he explained. Suphon and fellow drivers feel the 2,000 baht fine is excessive under the current economic conditions. If he winds up in an accident and the rider gets killed, I'd wager that would really hurt his "profits"

Yea, and Trump says shining a black light up your butt will cure Covid 19 as well as a good dose of intravenous Clorox Bleach. Flushes that Covid right out!

Just read through many posts. It's quite amazing how ignorant most of them are. HIV benign? you ferkin' kidding? It's killed millions across the globe since 1985 or therabouts. HIV risk of transmission less than 1% unprotected? BS, it depends a lot on who is receiving what type of sex NOT your sexual preference. People skeptical of the CDC and well established studies. Most of you nutters should get tested right away. Wow, just unbelievable the complete lack of awareness and knowledge of the disease. Some complete idiot stating circumcision is the way to avoid HIV transmission? Where do these people come from? I can't figure it out. My hopes that many of the posts are just trolls, but I fear not.

This incident is very revealing as to how Thailand is quite crude in many respects compared to Japan, Singapore and Korea. A Thai citizen, basically clueless as to the cultural differences ( probably never being educated about them) conducts himself in just the same manner as he would at home. Thailand: Public urination: for the most part accepted. Bribery of the boys in brown: very common practice Singapore Public urination: well known legal offense Bribery of police: well known legal offense

Something that you might want to relay onto your "people". Don't surf to close to the edge. Make sure they understand that they could fall off!

Hey, just wondering, since you seem to be so well informed, how thick is the flat earth we are living on?

June thinks Ward may have upset the Beave

I thought some people would home in on this. I deleted it because I thought that would happen, but if you don't know below is here career profile. You want to focus on dogging Kamala Harris instead of what else I wrote? She's got an extremely respectable and quite significant public service career starting years ago. Don't you know that? Deputy District Attorney, Alameda County District Attorney's Office (1990-1998) Managing Attorney, Career Criminal Unit, San Francisco District Attorney's Office (1998-2000) Chief of the Community and Neighborhood Division, San Francisco City Attorney's Office (2000-2003) District Attorney of San Francisco (2004-2011) Attorney General of California (2011-2017) U.S. Senator from California (2017-2021) Vice President of the United States (2021-Present) I'm from the Bay Area and the place hosts some of the brightest and most forward thinking people on the planet.

I'm old enough to actually remember hearing Nixon speak. Republican Presidents along the way have not been the brightest IMHO, but compared to Trump they sound geniuses. I was not a Reagan fan or fan of Bush Sr. and Jr. But these men were much more equipped to be diplomats although their agenda was questionable to me in many cases. IMHO, among all the Presidents I've known Trump has got to be the least articulate, least diplomatic President. He's obviously not much of a humanitarian, unleashes the most absurd rhetoric almost daily and is seems primarily concerned with himself, how he looks (at least in his own mind) and serving his own fragile ego. (for instance the TACO back and forth press conference) Just unbelievable how modern propaganda techniques combined with the power of social media and it's algorithms tune programing to those susceptible to his subtle message of hate, intolerance, fear, protectionism, bigotry and the like. He's gained favor by stoking the fears and hate in others and giving them scapegoats to blame for what they think is lacking in their lives. (Immigrants and the radical left he says) His supporters appear to have embraced being victims that actually think he has their best interest in mind. One can only hope and pray (if they have a God in their lives) that something will happen to change him in a radical and transforming way. Something to help him understand the errors of his ways and do a reversal of sorts.

Here's an anagram of a phrase that I don't think we'd ever catch you saying. Punks Crust, Mu Can you guess what that phrase might be?

We're not "grumpy" .. just too many youngsters running around that get upset at the slightest mention of them being entitled, participation trophy laden, under educated brats.

Pretty soon the only reporter's he'll have left will be from the Green Acres High School Bugle. He keeps trying to kick out the "nasty" ones. Poor Donald, can't answer the hard questions there mate?

You beat me to it! LOL. Well pretty much sums it up.

Trump doesn't have long before he loses complete credibility with those who have tried to hang on in this first 4 months of his second term. Even Wall Street is starting to know how to play his unpredictable and uninformed quick actions. Executive orders $.05 a piece!! His TACO approach to tariffs shows just how little this guy really understands global trade and commerce. Financial analysts and investors began using "TACO" as shorthand to describe this predictable cycle, allowing them to anticipate market rebounds after a tariff threat was announced. While Trump himself has rejected the term, insisting his actions are part of a negotiation strategy, the acronym gained traction on Wall Street to describe his often volatile and unpredictable approach to trade. Yep Trump always chickens out.

Unless one is wearing a completely sealed mask the effectiveness of wearing those common surgical masks that everyone wears is mostly for protecting others from you. During COVID-19, wearing a common surgical mask offers both protection to the wearer and protection to others, but it is generally considered to be more effective at protecting others

Quality and Cleanliness? How about EXISTENCE of Helmets provided by Motorbike taxi's. In Bangkok, you'll rarely see a motorbike taxi offering a helmet to passengers.
