The Turd In Chief Is At It Again!

[jamesmcdonnell]

15% is the maximum tarrif he can impose, albeit temporarily without congressional approval.

He hasnt broken their ruling.

Also, there will be no case of impeachment as long as the current compliant Congress is in office. As he has said, he can shoot someone in Times Square in NY and lose zero voters among the MAGAs currently in power

He won’t get impeached, but why aren’t the democrats even try to motion it. Sure it will get shot down, but they just look like they aren’t even trying.


At least the tories etc have said Starmer should resign over Mandelson.

It achieves nothing. It is a waste of effort.

The tories spoke up, as there is an expectation still of decency in British politics, this has all but vanished in the US. The republican party is effectively a vassal to Trump and the MAGA movement, full of cowards.

Trump is about to deliver another 'state of the union' speech, which will no doubt feature two main components.
1) Bragging about mostly non existent or wildly exaggerated achievements.
2) Whining and moaning about how he's not being allowed to act like a tyrant by the Supreme Court and how the radical left are destroying the country, and how the elections are rigged.

Neither of these things are going to play to anything other than the most indoctrinated parts of his base.

I read that in Trump’s state-of-the-union address last night that he said he’s brought down drug prices “300, 400, 500, 600% and more.” I am not sure anything displays his willingness to say anything more than repeating a mathematical impossibility over and over. I guess Americans are just used to it. Or he figures they are stupid

The fact that he's repeating this over and over can only mean one of two things. He either believes it himself and nobody corrects him, or he does it on purpose because he thinks it sounds good and he believes most people are not aware of basic math.
He also repeated the "tariffs are paid for by foreign countries" lie. I wonder if he actually believes that too?

Yeah, I don't get it, why doesn't a journalist call him out on it?

Trump is incredibly stupid and ignorant, it's quite possible he believes both things.

Journalists point it out all the time. (El Pais did this morning, for instance, on both issues). He’s counting on his base to not care because #MathIzHard

I guess it gets lost in all the noise, and yes, his base don't care, or don't know any different.

But I've never heard a journalist ask him about it to his face. What are they afraid of? Being called nasty, fake news or low IQ?

The Trump administration has filled White House press slots with right-wing bloggers, “influencers” and podcast hosts. I have watched a couple of “press” conferences where only suck ups were allowed to pitch him softballs and the Fox News correspondent was the closest one to a reporter. I don’t watch enough to know if, on Air Force One, for instance, somebody has asked him about the 500% lie, but access at more regular White House events has been severely limited or cut off to most real reporters. Remember, the AP, the national
news service, was banned for refusing to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.

Looks like there's a Melania 2 docu in the works.

Unless it's called Melania 2: DP Queen, I am not watching.

The dial has moved so far, that Satire is virtually impossible - they are so ridiculous as to make satirising it seem over the top.

I literally think SNL Trump sounds less cartoonish than the real Trump, and the same goes for Melania. How the hell can you speak English like that after 3 decades in the US? She speaks 6 languages my ass, I doubt she's even fluent in Slovene.

She was a high end brass, wasn't she?

Unbelievable that American soldiers are dead because of his decisions, and he is talking about drapes for his stupid ball room.

But it’s gonna be the most beautiful decked out ballroom in the world, and he saved a lot of money selecting them himself. What a guy!

God knows what he was going on about. Curtains, Ballrooms, Genes....Biden was clearly mentally compromised but this nut-job is on another level.

He is crazy, controlled, self-absorbed and going insane. Not a great combo. Somebody, somewhere in the US Legal or Political spheres, surely has to be thinking the same.

He really does need removing as he is now just causing masses of damage to the US, globally, in every aspect. Most Americans I have ever met have all been really nice, friendly people but this clown is really now about to bring a world pain their way. A shame.

He's a sociopath, i I don't think he cares about his own family, let alone some suckers and losers who signed up for war.

Trump is ousting Kristi Noem from her position as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Bye bye Puppy Killer.
