Have you called ICE on your non-cit employees and their illegal relatives, yet? Why or why not?
His plan, again whether you like it of not, is working.
What’s his plan, Markk? (I’m surprised that you haven’t figured out yet why I’m asking this) : )
Tariffs have not been a bust, he is doing exactly what I have been telling you he would do, he is using them as leverage.
I think that if you look at the initial imposition of them on Canada and Mexico, you could argue that they were an attempt to do that. But they’ve just turned into a shyteshow at this time, and the Administration really doesn’t know what it’s doing, and relying more on ‘let’s see what doesn’t backfire so that we can get [fill in undefined want] while pretending that it isn’t a hidden tax on our citizens’.
… he used them as leverage to help close the border,
No.
… and he is now using them for major corporations to invest in America.
That’s the story being given the public, when Trump isn’t switching to, “tariffs will replace taxes!”, right? Which is it, today?

The reality is that tariffs have been enacted to finance Trump’s budget-busting millionaire’s tax cut extension. The way Trump has thrown tariffs about isn’t really going to result in more than a trickle of companies making major new investments here, but we’ve talked about this elsewhere. Proof will come down the road about whether you or I are correct about your imagined manufacturing renaissance.
Because of the tariffs, business leaders around the world are promising to move forward with trillions of dollars of investments in the US.
That Koolaid sounds fantastic. Trillions, eh? The Administration can hardly point to millions initiated by the tariff fiasco.
It seem you plan by what you wrote here is that we should have just continued to let out trading partners rip us off, and because Trump is not having that, they no longer trust us in that we are not letting them rip us off. Maybe you can explain more how that works?
No, I don’t need to explain why you don’t understand how trade works. : )
Another part of his plan was to be open with the people, and actually communicate with the American people....which no one can deny in comparison to the last administration.
I can tell you that your claim is bullshyte. No apologies for doing so, either. Spouting dumb lies, egregious exaggeration, bad propaganda and butthurt complaints at every opportunity is not being ‘open with the people’. The man is incapable of not communicating like a pathologically lying 13-year old sociopath, completely devoid of morals, honesty or compassion. Given his daily behavior and his past, I have no idea how you shoehorn support for him within your Christian moral framework, but that’s a topic for another thread.

Last night I watched an interview segment where Trump was complaining that Garcia had MS13 tattooed on his knuckles. When the interviewer reminded Trump that the actual letters and numbers ‘M S 1 3’ were edited in to superimpose on the photo as if to define the small tattoos below, Trump insisted - multiple times more - that the actual letters and numbers were physically tattooed to Garcias fingers. This leads to only one of two possible reasons why Trump said this: he is either one of the dimmest bulbs to ever inhabit the Presidency, or he knowingly and repeatedly lied, and in an incredibly stupid and dangerous way.

Which one of those options do you think it is, Markk?

That’s not being ‘open’ with the people. That’s being a sh*tty liar.

A person literally cannot believe what Trump says about nearly everything. If you think that I’m being unfair with that opinion, feel free to post any paragraph you can dig up from his interviews or social media, and we’ll fact- check it. The chances of truthful content will be shockingly small.
Yes, people that came here illegally are being deported because they broke the law and did not follow the laws as dictated in the constitution and USC.
As family members of your employee did, and possibly the employee himself, given that you can’t verify his timeline. I hope that he doesn’t have tattoos.
And know I have not turned in illegal workers that work in my company, or in my neighborhood, city or state. And one more time, my two friends that I work with did exactly what they are supposed to do, they applied for citizenship per the Laws, …
You’ve hired a person who was sponsored by an illegal entrant. Why should your non-citizen employee remain? Why are you protecting people who broke the law? Why did you hire them in the first place? You couldn’t find any Americans to do the job?

Reality works differently than the BS that folks like Bondi, Leavitt and Trump try to snow you with, doesn’t it?

It is amazing how so many full grown adults have enslaved their minds to a lying fraud and incompetent idiot like Trump. I really don't understand how this is possible.

Just look at this absolute scheiße in CNN's headlines.
The change comes after Waltz’s role in the administration’s Signal fiasco. Trump says he’ll nominate him to serve as UN ambassador instead.
Somebody step on my head.
