Will Trump bankrupt the US entirely?
Seems like the right wingers here REALLY don't want to talk about / acknowledge what Trump's tax bill alone would do to the national debt: "Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act would add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over 10 years, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office." "Billionaire Elon Musk blasted the massive tax and immigration bill at the heart of President Donald Trump’s agenda on Tuesday, calling the measure “a disgusting abomination” that would burden the country with “crushingly unsustainable debt.” Though Musk — who on Friday left his post as head of the U.S. DOGE Service, Trump’s cost-cutting effort — had previously criticized the bill in gentler terms, his posts on X, the social media platform he owns, represented his sharpest attack yet on the Trump White House. ... The posts appeared to complicate the path to passage for the legislation, which barely passed the House late last month after conservatives revolted over its enormous price tag — the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says it would increase the national debt by $2.4 trillion over the next decade. [emphasis added] (more) Washington Post https://archive.ph/nahLm The same news report above also mentions that Trump's legislation would slice more than $1 trillion from social safety net and anti-poverty programs like Medicaid and and food stamps, while adding hundreds of billions of dollars in new defense and immigration enforcement spending. -

In case you missed it the first time, I've lived amongst these people for close to 40 years. First hand observation versus your theory. Or perhaps you're one of those people who think caca smells like roses? -

Report Danish Man Disappears Amid Extortion Fears in Southern Thailand
Picture courtesy of ScandAsia.com A 59-year-old Danish man, Brian Dilling Pedersen, has vanished under ominous circumstances in southern Thailand, sparking fears of a possible extortion case. His son, Steven Risager Madsen, is deeply worried that his father might have fallen prey to an extortion racket while residing in Nakhon Si Thammarat province. This unsettling development comes after Brian's trip to Thailand on 20 December 2024, primarily spent in Sakon Nakhon province's Kusuman district. On 12 April 2025, Brian travelled from Vientiane, Laos, to Bangkok and likely returned to Kusuman, described as his Thai abode. Fast forward to 26 May 2025, he was back in Bangkok, setting course for Nakhon Si Thammarat. His intended meeting was with a young Thai woman he had befriended online, reportedly born on 20 March 2004. ScandAsia.com is aware of both her Facebook and Thai names. Brian appeared joyful on 27 May 2025, sending his son a picture of a woman and child resting on his bed. He shared plans to return to Denmark by 7 June 2025, prior to his visa expiration. But the following day marked a stark change. During a video call on 28 May 2025, Brian revealed a short clip of his accommodation—Ban Chai Khlong in Pak Phanang district. Suddenly, his demeanour shifted, his gaze moved off-camera in apparent concern, and the call abruptly ended. Steven asserts this was when Brian's phone was forcibly taken. This theory gained traction when Brian's entire Facebook profile, along with Messenger chats, was wiped clean shortly thereafter. Fortunately, Steven had earlier preserved screenshots of their exchanges and photographs. On 31 May 2025, Brian managed to call his son from a Thai phone linked to an individual whose identity is familiar to ScandAsia. The call was cut short, yet not before Brian expressed, "I am afraid; they are many; I am afraid." Steven noted the stark contrast: "From being in love on Wednesday to sounding terrified on Saturday, something is clearly wrong." Steven reported his father missing to Denmark's East Jutland police district, who are scrutinising Brian’s bank records for any suspicious transactions between 27 May and 31 May 2025. Meanwhile, ScandAsia confirmed through the Ban Chai Khlong Restaurant that Brian was lodging alone, with him departing unaccompanied on 3 June 2025. In response to the alarming situation as of 4 June 2025, Gregers Moller, ScandAsia's publisher, acting on Steven’s power of attorney, filed a missing person report with the Thai Tourist Police. However, the Tourist Police indicated a formal inquiry requires filing at Ban Chao Khlong district’s local police precinct in Nakhon Si Thammarat. There is yet no definitive proof linking the young woman to any malpractice, though her Facebook post – “Have you got the agreed amount ready now?” – suggests Brian may be entangled in debt collection or other coercive activities. Authorities in Nakhon Si Thammarat have been urged to expedite their investigation. Anyone possessing knowledge of Brian Dilling Pedersen’s whereabouts is implored to inform local police or contact ScandAsia.com. Adapted by ASEAN Now from ScandAsia 2025-06-04
