THE TRUMP 2024 THREAD

[Gotta Go]

Other than cheap labor...
Illegal aliens and fentanyl...
What imports from Canada and Mexico...
Are irreplaceable???

I'm not sympathetic to protectors here attacking Jews because of the war in Israel. And since the majority of Palestinians in Gaza voted for Hamas and continued to support them in polls, and were wildly dancing as Israeli bodies were being drug through Gaza streets on October 7th, 2023, it's hard for me to feel too much sympathy for them.

The last chance they had to vote was in 2006 wasn’t it?

The Chinese embassy just escalated tensions, declaring:

“If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war, or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end.”

you buy real cheap , you no like ? broken? But i make fast and cheap?

there was so little leadership the last 4 years Trump is like we reinvented the wheel.

 

[newfie]

It’s ok. They are done…for now. Just one big family working out disagreements.

they're rudderless. need someone to grab the banner and lead the charge. No one on the horizon right now.

 

[newfie]

More than 20 of them had identical tweets before the speech.

Who is writing their talking points?

its a freaking cult , I tell ya!!!

 

[newfie]

How many of you believed in economic isolationism before Trump told you it would definitely work out in our favor?

the US is the honey pot. Countries do not want to be isolated from the honey pot and will comply . That makes us not an isolationist country but a dominating market leveraging its strength.

 

[newfie]

Of course it’s not ok. But it’s counterproductive to engage in escalatory protectionism.

This guy with his tariffs is like an angry 7 year old with a samurai sword. It’s dangerous. And stupid.

He’s breaking his own agreements with our neighbors. How ing stupid is this guy? Or is he just greedy and corrupt?

yea we don't want to esculate by matching what they did to us. One of two outcomes possible and both are level playing fields.

 

[newfie]

What is happening with these 80,000 Veterans Affairs workers being targeted for firing? Why hurt veterans??

Automation is your best friend.

 

[newfie]

Right on

We made it our business when we promised them that things would be ok if they gave up their nuclear weapons. We gave them assurances about territorial integrity. Pretty sad situation all around.

We're also have culpability. Critics of U.S. policy, including some analysts and Russian narratives, have suggested that the Biden administration’s strong military and diplomatic support for Ukraine—coupled with its dismissal of Russian security concerns about NATO expansion—undermined the Minsk process by encouraging Kyiv to resist Russian-backed interpretations of the agreements. For example, Biden’s framing of the conflict as a broader struggle between democracy and autocracy, and his administration’s provision of significant military aid, could be seen as emboldening Ukraine to prioritize a military solution over diplomatic concessions. However, this is not the same as direct advice to "violate" Minsk by refusing to cede land, as the agreements themselves were vague and lacked enforcement mechanisms, leading to mutual accusations of non-compliance by both Russia and Ukraine long before Biden took office.

 

[newfie]

Be careful what you wish for Putin is certainly an unsavory character. But I do not believe he’s stupid. Some of the people lined up behind him are much worse and have questionable intelligence and lack restraint.

the guy that can seize power in a dictatorship is not the guy you want.

They've consistently supported Hamas in polls.

Protesters, not protectors.

Take building materials from Canada for example. Not easily replaceable. Builders and ultimately consumers would pay a lot more and/or have less.

I’ll say it louder for the people in the back: TRADE WARS ARE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE

Non-farm payrolls grew by 151,000. Less than expected but not terrible.

Why does there have to be a war? Shouldn’t Free trade be just that? If tariffs are bad, why are there any and why does Canada have them?

Here you have Canada and the United States getting ready to tariff both each other and China, but that was OK because it was Biden.

Some tariffs are equal but some tariffs are more equal than others.

Especially if it’s the president you voted for.
