Trump and his cronies just spit this stuff out. It's the same stuff about DEI and media, but they never show exactly what they mean. The Washington Post has an article today about Trump always claiming he is up to date on what is going on. This is signature Trump, but it's usually a lie. He did this same thing the last time.

This from someone who constantly regurgitates the liberal narrative, most of what you say paul is bullshit.
 
The Post calls it the Trump bait and switch. In his first term Trump claimed his arrests of immigrants were great even when they went down. He said it was because he was winning. This time it's the stock market. He claims he always knew the markets would go down without having said a thing about that. In fact, he claimed a year before the 2024 election that stock market gains were because of him, but market crashes now are Biden's fault. :LOL:

I don't know about all that bullshit either paul, I think you take a lot out of context or rather your sources do, but as you are seething with Trump hatred and you suffer from an extreme case of TDS, I understand how you latch onto any negative spin you come across.

Fact is the market is up again and it will recover nicely in time, what Trump is doing is not the same old kick the can down the road politics, Trump is actually working to make positive change and that comes with some drama, but unfair trade practices needed to be addressed and Thank God that Trump is removing everything Racist DEI from government.

The gender madness is being removed from our schools, schools where the Marxist liberal ideology has done enough damage.

People who want to immigrate can come in legally, but the fence jumpers have got to go, it's unfair to all the people who played by the rules.

Trump has been removing legal immigrant's TPS and deporting them anyway. Harvard is fighting Trump and it looks like the courts are backing this up. We have had trade deficits since before we gained independence. There are always these deficits or surpluses in every country. It's not something that needs to be fixed. Tariffs are not the answer. Especially these indiscriminate ones Trump has illegally implemented. Congress has the power to implement these if it wants to. But, Trump has implemented these as an emergency act. The courts aren't buying it.
 
TPS = " TEMPORARY " ..... do you know what " TEMPORARY " means ?
It means ( lasting for only a limited period of time; not permanent )

We the people didn't elect the courts, we elected Trump and elections have consequences.

p.s. Stay tuned, Trump is only getting started. 1746232820737.png

The courts are still a coequal branch of government. Temporary only in that it isn't permanent. Elections do have consequences, but not that Trump can do anything he wants. He now wants to cut more than $165 billion from discretionary spending. That's more than 20 percent
 
The entirety of the judicial branch is a co equal branch.

Cutting waste is a good thing.

WASHINGTON, May 2 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Friday proposed a $163 billion cut to the federal budget that would sharply reduce spending on education, housing and medical research next year, while increasing outlays for defense and border security.
The administration said the proposed budget would raise homeland security spending by nearly 65% from 2025 enacted levels, as Trump cracks down on illegal immigration.

I am in favor of real medical research that can benefit people.

Yep. That's about right. But, the budget is hardly an increase for the defense department. What medical research is going on that you don't believe will benefit people?
 
Anything DEI

NIH waste far over $100 million in medical research funding every year – new study

Research waste at the National Institutes of Health is costing U.S. taxpayers far over $100 million per year, a new study published today suggests. Combing through NIH grants that were completed during 2017-2019, researchers found 137 clinical trials involving 41,501 children that had never made...

You obviously have not done any research. You can't know ahead of time what will pan out. That's funny!
 
You obviously support the extremely wasteful liberal agenda that flogs money at anything that stirs feelings.
 
Donald Trump signed more EO in his first hundred days than even he did in his first term. 142 of them. Many illegal as courts have been ruling. He has even disregarded the SCOTUS rulings.

Yeah, about that so-called "extremely wasteful liberal agenda," Musk said he was going to save $2 trillion dollars by cutting "fraud and wasteful spending." When asked how he was going to find all that so-called fraud and wasteful spending, he said it would be easy: " Just go in any direction, and you'll find it as it is quite common."

So after all this time of firing countless federal employees and closing down much-needed programs the question is, how much of the "$2 trillion dollars" has Musk saved the American taxpayer? and the answer is $150 billion dollars!

$150 billion out of the $2 trillion dollars he said would be easy to find because of all the "extremely wasteful liberal agenda" as you put it. THAT IS NEXT TO NOTHING! That's not even a fraction, it's more like a rounding error!

Musk's own words...

THAT IS ONLY 2% OF WHAT HE CLAIMED HE'D FIND! But, that is only what he's claiming he found, IF you trust what he is saying, it's actually more like only 10%, or $12 billion dollars of what he claimed was $150 billion dollars saved...
