well, that's obvious!!

 

My question is why do you hate everything he does? 

Do you hate me because I support what he's doing?

 

Am I racist or like the Dems love to throw around, am I a Nazi?  
( my last name is Reich, but I'm still not a Nazi) 

 

Like I said I dont care for him, but I agree with allot of what he's doing. 

Do you think he shouldn't deport illegal immigrants and work on equal trade agreements with China?

 

I know I tried to setup shop in China and hit road block after road block, Finally I found a good Chinese partner and was able to get production setup.

Thailand wasn't much easier but was workable.   

 

Maybe you didn't realize this was happening like most of the world.

The left wants men in girls' showers, mass migration, globalization and endless wars. That's why they do not like Trump.

WRONG. People on both the left and the right don’t like Trump because he’s a liar, a grifter, a convicted felon, a rapist, a narcissist, is doing things to damage the US economy and foreign relations, undermines democratic institutions, spreads misinformation, incites political violence, disrespects the rule of law, violates the Constitution, refuses to uphold rulings of federal courts and the Supreme Court, takes bribes, is corrupt, and consistently puts his own interests above the well-being of the country.

LOL

Calls for recession have been tweaked due to pending China trade deal. Trump EFFECT on full display for the net benefit of America and Americans (even the butt-hurt liberal losers).

Yup, y'all guessed it correctly this time: Trump is all about WINNING!

 

JPMorgan’s Updated Forecast

“Trumps Trade Truce Impact: On May 13, 2025, Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan Chase & Co. dropped its earlier call for a U.S. recession in 2025, citing a temporary U.S.-China trade deal that dialed back some of Trump’s “draconian tariffs.” Chief U.S. Economist Michael Feroli noted that this reduced the risk of the U.S. economy slipping into a recession, with odds now “below 50%” (Bloomberg, May 13, 2025).”

Unlike Biden who lied and deceived America and made a fool of himself and the country, Trump continues to deliver standout, monumental WINS and success's for the country buoyed by his standout MAGA cabinet team.  

 

How about this lie from Biden. LOL He's (Biden et al) such a corrupt failure.

Fake jobs Biden....add this to his legacy of pathetic and humiliating failures.

UK trade deal - A big nothing burger. 

China trade deal - 10% tariffs on both sides. Net back to the way it was before. Another and even bigger nothing burger. 

Release of an American hostage - 4 Americans were already released under Biden. Lots of catching up still to do. Get with it. 

Ceasefire with India and Pakistan - There was never a war. Just two small drone strikes. And Trump had nothing to do with the halting of that.

 

Ceasefire with Houthis - At the peril of Israel. Bad move. 

Don't forget who is actually bringing the non-stop wins now. Just compare to Biden who likes high inflation and starting/funding/prolonging wars. And do see a doc about your intense case of haters butt-hurt...LOL.

Many of us knew Trump would cave in to China. They had all the cards and he over played his hand to such an embarrassing degree. He is such an ill informed goon. He is in so far over his big head. 

 

 

all those months with the Republicans laughing about the old-age acts of Biden - did you catch the videos of him falling asleep during the welcome ceremony in Saudi?, Then he gets up when announced to make his speech and he goes the wrong way and had to be hand-held to the correct spot where he stumbled on his speech embarassing  his advisers that joined him on his trip to check out how much money they will give his family? IMHO a true joke for sure and know the Saudi's ae still laughing

I live in Thailand. The most important factor for me is a strong dollar. And Trump is destroying the US dollar. Biden's policy of a strong dollar made me tangibly wealthier, while Trump is degrading my standard of living.

From your link. 🤣

To be clear, the monthly job reports and the BED data do not measure exactly the same thing, and the BLS also publishes another dataset called the quarterly census of employment and wages. Each of these reports excludes certain categories of jobs or industries like railroads, government, self-employment, agriculture, etc.

Fortunately, your opinion of  Trump matters not one iota,  in the US - or here.

That applies to every single topic, with every single poster on this forum, every single day. All we're doing is venturing forth opinions, some people have thicker skin and they can handle it, some people have skin like paper and they get offended at every little thing that seems critical of their master or their preferred agenda.

No. 

 

It is your obsession with Trump that becomes tiresome because it is so myopic.

 

You have to be a bit of a jerk to think that the leader of the free world is  "failure".

Ever heard of the term bamboozled? Snookered. He is a master of the art of the con. 

 

As you can see by my posts, I tend not to insult his supporters, but I sure do insult the failure, and the creep. He richly deserves the scorn.

That is such a total nonsense, it seems like you're not in the US at this point. I am, and inflation is closer to 20% believe me, everything's going up, everybody's talking about it, and it doesn't matter where you live or what you do for a living you're being affected by this ridiculous inflation storm.

 

The government is constantly lying about it, and using magnesium ore and similarly silly commoditoes to come up with these stupid and faken umbers.

Here's some more numbers that will ratchet up your oozing butt-hurt. LOL. You and your beloved albeit failed and mentally incompetent corrupt failure Biden are demonstrably on a tangent rife with disillusionment. You truly are hopeless.

Oh, he's despicable and has less charm than a brick. BUT, he is the democratically elected President of the USA and that is more important than any personalities involved.

 

As a Brit, I respect the position but not necessarily the man.

So is he stupid or is he "...a master of the art of the con."?

Wrong. Its 30% which is still a substantial blow to chinas economy

20% of that 30% is the fentanyl tariff which will be also removed since the it is also a BS tariff, at best there might be a 10% tariff. The tariffs were presented as a way to get manufacturing back to the US.  So let me ask you this, do you think a 10% tariff will be enough for companies to come back to the US?  If not what remains? A 10% consumption tax  on the American people, or if the importer does not pass it down to the consumer and eat it a 10% tax on the importer. Someone has to pay it, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

10% is enough in many industries, particularly industries that are material-intense.

 

Making it easier for manufacturers to meet regulations will help quite a lot as well. Our California plant is scheduled to shut down in September after over fifty years, first in Anaheim, and then in Riverside. Driven out by overzealous regulators. A couple hundred good, union jobs moving to Texas.

So with inflation at 20% we should be getting one hell of a big increase in our SS payments.

So he caved in and China won again!

What is going to happen to his promises?

Sooo many billions coming in from the tariffs that the US citizens would not know what to do with all the money.

As a matter of fact there was at one point talk of getting rid of all income tax because the tariffs would make you all rich!

What about."no tax on overtime! No tax on tips! No tax on Social payments!

Well it did not happen did it?

I thought you were against tariffs, no? Why not applaud this? 

 

Oh, that's right, you want open borders, men in girls' showers, globalization, mass migration, DEI programs and genital mutualization of children, and Trump is attempting to stop those things, so you and the rest of the leftists hate him. 

 

As a non-leftist I am against all those things, and I am happy Trump is trying to stop them, I do not give a happy rat's a** if Chinese cr*p costs twice as much.

Not at all, because the government continues to use magnesium ore, other incredibly silly commodities to measure the inflation rate so your increases will remain at 3.2% . If that.

I could and would answer but what you are talking about has very little to do with the topic.

If you start your own topic about this maybe we can discuss facts about that.
