    Is second-hand cringe a thing? Because this is just embarrassing.



    "Great War Time Prime Minister" does sort of give things away for Trump, though, doesn't it?

    What is with this guy and his random capitalization? Is it like he is trying to be cool and hip and go for Leet Speak but miserably failing at it.
    Or hes having a seizure.

    My whole political stance pretty much boils down to "I care about other people and the planet" and wow does that make some people mad.

    Damn tehdang keeps lying. It's so weird what lack of moderation does

    It's funny that even in a forum like this if you keep letting people get away with stuff they just keep becoming more unbrazened

    But instead they'll probably arrest the other protesters instead. Unlucky

    IIRC, he has actually answered a question like that before, and his answer was basically "emphasis." Personally, I think it just makes him silly.

    I recall cries about America First. And for the US to not play world police.

    Guess Trump was right. America First is whatever he says it is, at least to his followers, reality be damned

    Trump's tone of voice (so to speak) here could be taken as threatening. "Spare war criminal Bibi IMMEDIATELY" coming from a top source of foreign aid while Iran is launching bombers? That sounds like extortion.

    But of course, "pardon this man who did many many crimes, because they were vaguely good for the country in unspecified ways" sounds like projection from Trump, who still believes he can do everything alone with absolute immunity.

    Ironically Israel's judicial system makes it more likely that Bibi will end up in jail versus Trump who will walk away from all the crimes he is doing thanks to our reicht wing supreme court. The only way for Bibi to get a pardon is to step down and have the new PM pardon him which is too much of a gamble for him. The war with Iran has increase Bibi's popularity he will most likely hold a snap election to solidify his staying out of jail I mean hold on power.

    Trump phone will no longer be "Made in America".

    The T1 Phone 8002 “gold version,” sold through the recently launched Trump Mobile wireless carrier, no longer advertises itself as “Made in the USA.” That claim, once prominently featured on its webpage, has been scrubbed entirely.

    “Instead, the Trump Mobile website now includes what can only be described as vague, pro-American gestures in the direction of smartphone manufacturing,” The Verge reported Wednesday. “The T1’s new tagline is “Premium Performance. Proudly American.’”

    The website now says only that the device is “designed with American values in mind.”

    Veteran tech reporter David Pierce, The Verge’s editor-at-large, noted that those phrases don’t actually mean the phone is made – or even designed – in the United States. Another line says there are “American hands behind every device,” but offers no specifics.

    “There are just… some hands. In America,” Pierce wrote Wednesday.
    "Maybe it's assembled in America?"

    So are many cars. Trump still tariffed them.

    "Well surely that's the only promise broken. As a proud Trump supporter, I am used to him saying one thing yet cheering when he says another. That has yet to become tiresome to me."

    “It was originally advertised to have a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, but now the T1’s site says it’s 6.25 inches,” according to the tech publication. “The site used to list the phone as having 12GB of RAM, and now doesn’t list RAM at all.”
    "I meant two promises."

    The launch time has also become blurred. The T1 was originally promised to ship in September, but has shifted that timeframe to “later this year.”
    "I do plan to finish someday, Kif."

    Surely this Trump business venture won't all just be a scam to fleece pre-order money from mouth breathing idiots that'll go tits up in a couple months.


    Surely.

    The U.S. economy shrank faster than previously thought during the first three months of 2025, with growth contracting for the first time in three years.

    The country's gross domestic product fell at an annual rate of 0.5% from January through March, the Commerce Department reported Thursday in its third and final GDP report for the period. The agency's initial first-quarter GDP report, issued in April, estimated a 0.3% decline, which was later revised to a 0.2% dip in its second print.

    First-quarter growth was weighed down by a surge of imports as U.S. companies and households rushed to buy foreign goods before the Trump administration's tariffs went into effect. Although a surge in imports can appear to lower economic growth because it shows a shift away from domestic consumption, that doesn't tell the whole story about the U.S. economy, experts say.
    It didn't even take a single quarter for the results of Donald's incoherent, nonexistent, disastrous economic and trade policies to start harming the US economy.

    Quoting Tim Cook you can fit all the US precission engineers in a room....In Asia you would fill several football fields.

    And requires robust incentivizing for the private sector and infrastructure spending to boot. And I’d dare say a lot of litigious framework to prevent corporate abuse or taking money meant for incentives, pocketing it, and then just doing it overseas anyway.

    None of which Trump has endeavored to do, even if he knew or cared how.

    They've narrowed down the Iran Leaker. And Trump announced on Truth Social that it's the leaker known as DEMOCRAT. Prosecute Democrat and 4Chan, they're both despicable individuals!
    The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped form our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.

    Just call it "Grifting in America". Then it will be 100% honest marketing.

    Well, Florida would suggest you use teenagers instead...but that's not working out well.

    What makes you think that they are dirt cheap labors?
    No one is stupid enough to work at minimum wage forever and be happy.

    Sure, they may work for a few years.
    After that, just like everyone else, they work less and want free medical care and welfare check ...

    When they are in their own country, why don't they work hard and happy?
