I don't trust DOGE, because I have no idea what they're doing. They're basically the plumber going into the attic, and when I ask why, he tells me never mind, because I'm not a plumber and I'm likely a "fraudster" for even asking. I DO like the mission itself, though.

How about instead of tax cuts, it's a tax credit if they actually use that money to, you know, start a business. Giving the rich more money to invest in stocks does nothing but get more for the people that don't even need it. It also does zero for the economy.

Everyone has known this for years and years, including from 2016-2020. You think it's strange that people don't trust DOGE either? Especially considering that they pretty much do whatever they want with no oversight.

Bro, the only thing cheap enough for me to afford(including eggs) is DJT stock. Luckily, I bought some when he told me to. Unfortunately, that 'bargain price' only lasted a day.

DOGE is just the White House's version of Fox's laptop story(formerly her emails). Whenever the mouth breather's look thirsty or things aren't going well, they can magically find some new fraud, waste and abuse.

I just laugh thinking about him having to use sippie cups, because the rascal scooter keeps bumping into the table, and cleaning up spills is a tough job.

Zero. I'm a big kid now, and if I don't like what someone else is saying, I just stick my fingers in my ears, and humm loudly.

It seems trump is insistent that iphones be made here. The problem is that they will NEVER take that kind of financial beating. Instead, every single cent of the production costs would go to the consumer(and many parts would still need to come from abroad). I've seen ridiculous estimates, but it would easily double the price tag. The consumers reaction would be to find a cheaper product. Who wins then? Samsung. As for manufacturing, lots of these "cheap goods" are actually not bad for us at all, at least not personally. Our economy transitioned pretty well to a service economy, and we benefit from the cheap labor of other countries. trump has maggat nation believing they all took our jobs with good health care and pensions. What really happened was all the money funneled to the 1%, and the middle class around the globe suffered.

Yes it is. I read a lot of the bond selling was in Japan. The only problem is taking the manufacturing from China is a pipe dream.

To think I used to like Joe and Maria.

Yup they are sold stories of days past and returning grandeur, not actual policy. Has everyone forgotten the concepts of a plan, yet? Nothing they ever propose passes even the slightest scrutiny.

Any "deal" they make is worth the same as the "peace in our time" pact. The guy ripped up HIS OWN trade deal with Canada and Mexico(USMCA). His own words on USMCA after signing it: Trump praised the USMCA in 2020 as the “best agreement we’ve ever made” "I will say that we just ended a nightmare known as NAFTA. (Applause.) They took our — they took our jobs for a long time. They took it for a long time. And we now have a brand-new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. It’s a whole different ballgame, and it’s going to be great for this plant. It’s going to be incredible for Michigan and for every place else in our country. The USMCA is the fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law. It’s the best agreement we’ve ever made, and we have others coming. And, by the way, the China deal, two weeks ago, was just signed. And that’s going to bring $250 billion into our country." Then in February of this year: “I mean, who can blame them if they made these great deals with the United States, took advantage of the United States on manufacturing?” Trump said Monday. “On just about anything, every aspect you can imagine, they took advantage.” He continued, “I look at some of these agreements, I’d read them at night, and I’d say, ‘Who would ever sign a thing like this?’ So the tariffs will go forward, yes, and we’re gonna make up a lot of territory. All we want is reciprocal. We want reciprocity.” Who would ever sign anything like that? Uh, you did El Presidente. ....but Biden is senile.

Huh? If it weren't paused it would have been a HORRIBLE time to buy. The policy makers aren't supposed to be leaking buy/sell times and information. Imagine if Fed chairman Powell tweeted, "good time to buy" 15 minutes before he announced a half point cut. LOL Edit: maybe you didn't realize, but DJT wasn't him signing the tweet, that's the stock symbol for his company. It's insider trading as clear as day.

One is the truth; the other is what they're selling as the truth to save face. The dumping of the bonds was to show there was little support for the US position. That's what happens when a dummy takes on all his enemies at the same time. He must have never read any Sun Tzu. It's literally what the pathological blonde bimbo liar and Bessent said happened. I didn't make anything up. They did.

Now you're just talking to talk. Must defend orange!!!

The alternative would be to have to believe that 75 countries all thought he was bluffing, and when they actually dropped, they panicked and called him. Then in good faith, he paused them. That didn't actually happen, and we all know it. If he really had the upper hand, he would have held firm, and forced them to make a quicker deal. This is extremely time sensitive. They were dumping bonds like they were on fire.

If that's not market manipulation, I've never seen it.

He backed down. US bonds were getting crushed last night. Frankish was right.

...and then after blah blah blah the prices will finally come down. Since when has that happened? EVER! The spikes we see in prices now will NEVER go away.

Apparently, D-day, including D-hour and D-minute are now not considered classified information anymore, despite the fact that the DOD's own policy says it is. I'm beginning to think that with this administration that something is whatever they say it is. A football is a crescent wrench if Leavitt says so.

To be fair, he migrated those contacts. Still an incredibly stupid oversight AGAIN. It would be very easy to spoof those contacts. These are our 'top' intelligence officials. Luckily for Russia and China the tech bros were digging through American's personal data instead of making sure our foreign intelligence services were secure.

Not everyone is going to accept that mis-labeling what was CLEARLY classified as not classified is acceptable. Not everyone is going to forget that the data was illegally set to auto-delete. Not everyone is going to let the idea that a reporter was on the chain the entire time, and no one even knew fade. This isn't training camp.

You don't feel that the president not having any knowledge of 4 US soldiers, who had erroneously been proclaimed deceased earlier today, should be criticized? Maybe their families/friends/loved ones and concerned citizens(even non-maga ones) would be hoping for something better than, "No, I haven't"? This coming days after his administration put servicemen's lives at an increased risk? ps: they're missing

I'd like to know on what planet the exact timing of an imminent strike isn't considered classified. If it's not, then that's the biggest blunder in American military history. I know that this administration knows its supporters are dumb, but what about the rest of us?

Not sure where I first saw it, but just found this on the Austin American-Statesman: NATO had to walk back a false confirmation of the solders' death after Secretary General Mark Rutte spoke in Poland.
