Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Breccia]

I wonder who would risk going

If it was anyone other than FIFA, they might have moved the venue by now. Of course, FIFA invented a peace price just to give Trump his first participation trophy.

THere are far more harmful morons in this administration but something about RFK Jr threatens to give me an aneurysm every time I read one of his policies.

My favorite picture of this administration is the one where RFK Jr is being forced to eat fast food on Trump's plane.

Guys, Trump just stopped another war. This time the "war on protein." What? You didn't know it? Well RFK says he's finally "stopping the lies" and other garbage. Pretty sure the actual war on protein is how expensive meat is.

this is especially funny given the popularity of protein supplements and foods with added protein lmao

these are truly the dumbest, most dishonest, actually evil people around.

Hassett reveals Trump housing plan would let Americans tap 401(k)s for down payments

The bad ideas kept on coming. Hopefully they'll remain just that, ideas, and do not become actual policies.

"We are allowed to say Merry Christmas again!"
"Trump brought back meat on the menu!"
"Trump saved Whole Milk!"

... do any of these people know these things were always allowed? Like there was never a time I couldn't go buy whole milk if I wanted.

Reduce what limited retirement you have in hopes of getting a house. Surely no way that could screw up down the line.

"What you have to do is come up with a way, so, a simple way. We're still talking about the mechanics of it, but suppose that you put 10% down on a home, and then you take 10% of the equity of the home, and put it in as an asset in your 401(k), then your 401(k) will grow over time," he explained.

Genius. Borrow money against your home at 6% interest and put it into an investment with average yearly return of 5 - 8%. With inflation you are basically losing money or at best breaking even.

He sign the Healthy Kids Act allowing schools to serve whole milk.

Which is funny because the people celebrating that also say that parents should send their kids to school with food ... so couldn't they have just sent their kids to school with whole milk in a thermos?

Well, you see. The thing is that they are in all positions at all times, but decides if it's good or bad based on what the guys in suits with an R next to their name and the silly talking heads on Fox News says.

A house with a 50 year loan! Work till your last breath!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sure sounds like how putins russia evolved in the last 20 years. Just faster.

Trump openly threatens tariffs on countries who do not support US seizing Greenland.

Just a heads-up: if he does this, every country on Earth should break every trade deal/treaty with the US. Trump is threatening an ally, and also, blatantly using unfair trade practices to allow for land seizure. He has broken those deals. Don't honor them.

In completely unrelated news six out of the nine members of RFK Jr. health panel that are pushing whole milk and meat just happen to have strong financial ties to the milk and beef industry.

I do wonder what happens when the Supreme Court eventually has to rule on how glaringly illegal his use of tariffs is.

It may reach the point where "Declaring the tariffs illegal and undoing them would require a fuckton of work that would fuck this country even further, and you fuckers won't fix it, so we'll let it slide."

It's most likely that NATO, at least, will enter a state of war against the USA. Which, yeah, you don't engage in trade with your enemy during a fuckin' war.
