Left? I have no political side. That doesn't stop me from seeing Trump for what he really is.

Rationality has nothing to do with Trump. He may be rational, but his goals are purely self-aggrandizement, and his tactics are despicable. 

I'm sure we're all conditioned by the media to some extent.

"Unfortunately there are none so blind as he who will not see". Trump is a disaster for the USA and you will see this as he continues being the puppet of those behind the scenes.

This. Trump is not only a disaster for the US, but for the whole world. He is pushing Asian countries towards China with his tariffs, just like he just lost India. Giving most Asian countries between 30 and 50% tariffs, you'll end up losing them. It's not rocket science.

It will become a shift towards supporting Chinese products (even Japan is making deals with them) and even more trade with Russia will occur. Brics will get stronger, and we will see more of the meetings Xi just held for Putin, Modi and Kim.

 

Thank you, Trump, well done.

Trump Grifter-in-Chief.........

Trump Will Host G20 Summit in 2026 at His Doral Resort - The New York Times
 

President Trump said on Friday that he would host next year’s Group of 20 summit at the Trump National Doral golf club near Miami, ignoring the glaring ethical concern.
 

“Everybody wants it there,” Mr. Trump said to reporters, without elaborating who had called for such a thing. “It’s right next to the airport. It’s the best location. It’s beautiful.”
 

The plan would violate a criminal statute and ethics regulations that prohibit conflicts of interest.

Have you been sleeping under a rock these last 6 months?

How about his crypto scheme while being a president? 1.2 billion dollars according to Forbes, back in June.

 

And that's only a third of what he supposedly has made during his presidency.

 

https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2025/06/05/this-is-how-much-trump-has-made-from-crypto-so-far/

And there is the new report just coming out this week, on the job numbers these last months. It's a disaster, worst since covid in 2020.

 

So it didn't help firing the chief economist responsible for the numbers released a month or so ago. These new numbers are even worse 😂

 

The economy is booming.. Not. This is not rocket science either, when they actually have deported a huge part of their work labour.

Actions have consequences. Turns out many of these migrants and immigrants were needed after all. Who knew, right?

Did they ever find any parts of the plane that disappeared on impact on 911?

That was a neat trick C.

Why try and spread false information?

Aircraft debris was indeed recovered at the Pentagon. Eyewitness statements, CCTV and other photographic evidence  all confirm the aircraft impact.

No they don't

 

The plane disappeared on impact. Just as the plane that crashed in tbe forest did. Just a hole. No wings. No fuselage. Just a hole in the ground/building. 

 

If you have pics of the wings or fuselage please post them.

You might want to check the spelling before lecturing about the Dunning–Kruger effect. As for Trump being "just an actor", the show’s global success and his ability to leverage it into political momentum prove otherwise. Opinions are fine, but calling a president who delivered policy results a "puppet" sounds more like wishful thinking than reality.

Tariffs weren’t about "losing" countries, they were about addressing decades of one-sided trade. India, Japan, and others have always acted pragmatically, working with both Washington and Beijing when it suits their interests. That’s geopolitics, not proof that Trump was a disaster. BRICS was founded in 2009, long before Trump, and its growth reflects China’s ambitions, not U.S. tariffs. Every U.S. president faces the same balancing act in Asia, it didn’t start with Trump nor will it end with him.

Job numbers move up and down month to month, that’s why economists look at long-term trends, not cherry-picked reports. Firing one official doesn’t rewrite the data, and the labor market has been adjusting since COVID with cycles of contraction and expansion. As for immigration, nobody denies it plays a role, but to reduce the U.S. economy to "migrants = growth" oversimplifies a complex picture. Productivity, trade policy, energy prices, and investment all matter just as much. That’s actual economics, not emojis.

He's changed tack ...now it's the Nobel prize for War!

Seriously, you should think of consequences of these ridiculous tariffs they have put on Asian countries. Of course they will lose trade because of it. The economy is already taking a shift towards Asia's benefit, China, Russia, now India more, and also Brics. Brics is nothing new, but I say they are getting STRONGER by the way Trump is pushing the Asian countries away.

India and China together have roughly 1/3 of the world's population.

 

Trump is asked the right questions these days, weather he think he has pushed India away. So that is a highly valid assumption.

These job numbers speak for themselves. They have a clear trend downwards, and it won't get any better. Trump's policy is responsible for these numbers, and the coming ones.

Fallen for the trump narrative. Countries with a negative trade balance with the US were hit with tariffs. Why do you think services were not included? Why do you think a country like Bangladesh exports more to the US than it imports?  Why do you consider a negative trade balance bad?

The US has always been primarily a war maker, seldom the war breaker.

About the only one they were instrumental in bringing to an end was Northern Ireland, and nobody noticed.

Right. And as a Norwegian, I can assure you he is not getting a Nobel's peace price this or the next year either. Or ever. He is clearly doing all the wrong moves to get one. Threatening to take over Greenland by force is another insane act in that regard. So is bombing Iran.

 

Executing 11 civilian people on board on the boat they just bombed, is not exactly helping.. 

And Vance, saying he doesn't give a shiit what anyone calls it, saying it's the best way to use their own military.. It's mind boggling.

Cute line, Jingthing, but parroting a soundbite about Ukraine doesn’t change the fact that Trump rolled back regulations, signed tax reform, reshaped the courts, and cracked down on gangs like MS-13. That’s a record of governance, not branding. You may dislike it, but dismissing it as clueless ignores reality.

Trump has done things at home that should have been done years ago and also should be implemented in Europe! The sad thing is that there seems to be no limits to the madness on other fronts!   😫

Yes there is ample evidence. This is documented in the Congressional record as well as on easily accessible reputable media sites

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39461005

https://vault.fbi.gov/9-11-attacks-investigation-and-related-materials/9-11-images/9-11-pentagon-debris-2

 

There are well documented eye witness and CCTV images.

 

The  plane was pulverized because of its high impact velocity, and the subsequent high intensity fire.  However, large parts remained.

These images are easily found and verified.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-airplane-debris-found-202313034.html

 

The burden is on you to disprove the extensive documentation. You cannot, and it speaks to your ignorance that you repeat  nonsensical claims. Yours is not an opinion, nor is it a valid discussion because it is knowingly false. You are intentionally spreading lies.

 

 

Only people with an IQ above double digits and not in a cult will understand that this will also affect them.  Not just libs in blue states.

Department of War?  So does that mean that Donny is now going to use the US military in his wars against the USA's former friends and allies and those Americans who disagree with him?  Is the US military united in their support for Trump?

The U.S. military gives their oaths of service to support and defend the U.S. Constitution.  During my service 1970-1990, the President is only the Commander-in-Chief.  President Trump is torqued from the buddy-buddy celebration and the military parade in China.
