Trump is responsible  for 100bn extra  without government subsidies.

 

CHIPs Act not only kicked off the TSMC American buildout, but Micron, too. 

Quote

The federal government agreed last year to provide Micron with $6.1 billion in grants under the CHIPS Act to build new plants in the town of Clay and at its headquarters in Boise, Idaho.

About $4.8 billion of the total would be used to build the first two of four massive chip fabrication plants at White Pine Commerce Park in Clay.

In return for the subsidies, Micron has promised to move forward with its biggest expansion in company history.

Micron said the four plants in Clay would directly employ up to 9,000 people and create about 40,000 spinoff jobs in Central New York over the next 20 years.

senile completely losing any sense of his misleading comments.... 2 more years and he's out

 

Laughter breaks out after Trump says: The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over.

Critics were quick to point to the obvious irony: Trump placed Elon Musk, who was not elected, in charge of that effort.

and that's from his own media friends

 

He called tariffs a “negative incentive” to get companies to invest in the United States.

But Wall Street wasn’t convinced.

As Trump spoke, the Dow Jones Industrial Average tanked ― and viewers could see the number plunging in the bottom right corner of the screen:

 

The Dow ultimately finished down nearly 650 points, while the S&P 500 lost more than 100.

Well there you have it, the dems really showed their true colors , purely contemptuous and abject seething hate. They wouldn’t even stand up for victims of crime, complete filth.

Oh you poor gentle little snowflake! Maybe Elon will give you a blanket and coloring book, or a stuffed MAGA doll, to salve your wounded ego.

 

The silly and boring speech, delivered by someone nearly catatonic, might have had more lies than any speech ever delivered anywhere. If there was a deity, and mendacity was a sin, the fat guy would have been struck by a thousand lightning bolts. Of course MAGAs are so dumb they buy into every lie and fantasy their love muffin cooks up. And the clapping is like the trained seals at a Kim Jong-un gala...first guy to stop clapping gets executed.

 

As for decorum, go back and watch the clowns MTG and Boebert during Biden's State of the Union addresses.

I wonder why? Biden spent money like a drunk!

 

"Billionaire hedge fund manager Ray Dalio has a bearish outlook on the US economy, citing the escalating debt crisis as the Trump administration attempts to wrangle an annual deficit that topped $1.8 trillion in fiscal 2024 alone."

Suuuure! Trump wants to reduce federal debt! By giving huge tax cuts to the rich and raising the debt ceiling by an equivalent amount! 

[candide]

A speech full of lies, as usual!

Clearly, these pinko, lefty, liberal hecklers should have been ejected from the house. Zero class.

And more nonsense and lies from the GOP Nazi heading up DOGE........he really has caught on to the trump style of lying!!

 

Struggling-with-errors-doge-deletes-billions-more-from-list-of-savings. Among the largest claims that disappeared:

• A US$1.9 billion saving that the group said it had achieved by cancelling an Internal Revenue Service contract for tech help. Before Sunday night, this had been the biggest single saving on the site. But the New York Times reported that the contract was actually cancelled in November, while Joe Biden was President.
• A US$149m saving attributed to cancelling a contract to provide three administrative assistants at the Department of Health and Human Services. The entry on the site last week contained numerous errors, including a link to a different contract, with a different company, that did not involve administrative assistants or US$149m. On Sunday, after the Times mentioned this garbled entry, it disappeared.
• A US$133m saving that the group said had come from cancelling a US Agency for International Development contract for work in Libya. The contractor, Chemonics International, posted last year on LinkedIn that its work on that contract had already ended.

Even after the changes to the group’s website, however, some errors remained. As of Monday morning, the list still included claims that Doge achieved US$106m in savings by cancelling a pair of contracts that the Coast Guard signed for administrative help.

That was wrong. Federal procurement data shows that these contracts were actually completed in 2005 and 2006, when George W. Bush was President.

 

A clown show run by the clowns-in-chief! The fat one has his orange make-up on and the other one is making up and lying about the non-existent "savings. Such nonsense.

You just proved my point, to which you alluded.

 

MAGAs make turnips feel better about their intellect.

 

The bloated whinging crybaby liar is the one forever CAP screaming UNFAIR!

 

If MAGAs were all the US had, the economy would make Venezuela look like an economic juggernaut.

 

Losers one and all. MAGAs fantasize about having an IQ in the 80s. Sadly, the impish Universe left them out when brains were distributed.

 

Come on, fella, tell me you were in my class at Harvard and Stanford.  LOL.

German politicians imposed a massive oil price hike on themselves and thus ruined the German economy. All Germans who voted in these German politicians should indeed be ashamed of themselves.

 

I agree with what Trump said: Europeans still buy too much cheap oil & gas from Russia. We bought more Russian O&G in dollars, than the value of the whole support we gave to Ukraine.

 

We should stop buying from Russia and buy American oil & gas instead, despite it being more expensive, to keep the world free and screw murderous Putin and his criminal acolytes.

100 minutes of insane ranting, pure lies and absolute nonsense to a completely sycophantic and compliant  Congress. Trump is a plague. That much is a apparent by now.

The US buys nearly half of its imported oil from Canada and 90% of its imported natural gas from Canada, the nation that they're cutting off by imposing huge tariffs on.

 

Trump -  dumb and dumber.
