All Things Trump: the story continues...

facts?
1 On the subject of idiots, MSN reports Musk has officially made the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest ever loss of fortune.
2 Musk’s influence in the Trump administration will usher in an era of deregulation that will benefit the company. Musk, Tesla’s largest individual shareholder, is roughly $83 billion richer since Election Day, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

That's obscene.

Trumpers not the same as Musk fan boys who were also part of the winning formula. And they are still out to save America. By not vaccinating America

"Dear President Trump, many of us…MANY of us are very disheartened and upset about this pick -this doctor has been a major advocate for pushing Covid vaccines upon people which are being proven cause much harm," one Trump-supporting Truth Social user wrote in response to Trump's announcement. "She also was a big advocate of masking and other terrible Covid policies please don’t let this happen! Sincerely -your base."

"President Trump you need the current Surgeon General of Florida as the USA Surgeon General not the globalist pro deep state lady you nominated," the user wrote.

"PLEASE change Pam Bondi your new attorney general she is super anti-gun she has a horrible history being anti-gun that’s all she focuses on RINO and there’s a bunch of compromised pictures of her and BAD history, there’s have to be someone else this is very depressing!!!" the user wrote Sunday.

"What has happened to JD Vance? He's nowhere to be seen or heard. Doesn't seem right since he is part of the winning team...Trump/Vance. He did a great deal toward winning the White House. It appears (as being reported on various new sources) that he is being pushed aside because of Musk," the user wrote. "Musk is fantastic and I'm really glad he is included in the new administration, but JD Vance is our VP Elect and potentially (in 4 yrs) our president. So again, where is JD Vance?"

Elsewhere:

Think about how different things might have been if – after the election of 2020 (let’s just say, in mid-November of 2020), every American suddenly and spontaneously had a basic grasp of ‘only’ the bullet points in this article.

How successful would “The Big Lie” (that the Democrats had stolen the election from Trump) have been? What would happen to the influence of organized religion in American life? What would happen to the efficacy of advertising?

They have a clear mission. Elsewhere:

Agreed. The people who reelected DJT want a disrupter. The more he and the GOP are seen as disrupting the system and tearing things down the more popular they will be. Any misfortune that befalls MAGA will be dismissed as sabotage by the Democrats. That will lead to calls for MORE disruption from these people, not less.

Canada on Trump list.

Trump vows new Canada, Mexico, China tariffs that threaten global trade.
Trump, who takes office on Jan. 20, 2025, said he would impose a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico until they clamp down on drugs, particularly fentanyl, and migrants crossing the border, in a move that would appear to violate a free-trade deal.
"On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders," he said in a post on Truth Social.
More than 83% of exports from Mexico went to the U.S. in 2023 and 75% of Canadian exports go to the country.

Trump has previously pledged to end China's most-favored-nation trading status and slap tariffs on Chinese imports in excess of 60% - much higher than those imposed during his first term.
The Chinese economy is now in a much more vulnerable position given the country's prolonged property downturn, debt risks and weak domestic demand.

Should we really be butthurt about tariffs? It sounds like they hurt the business as usual economy that expects endless growth, so what’s the problem? Prices go up? Well, isn’t it the economy the left supposedly hates that’s keeping prices artificially low eg responsible farmers can’t charge a fair price because they can’t compete with corporate operations. Your food is literally too cheap to have been responsibly produced. You should expect to pay more. Of course business as usual economics probably just means paying more for the appearance of responsible production eg greenwashing.

How’s the average voter supposed to figure this out?
