Re: Donald Trump is my hero
“Trump has decided that he doesn’t want money to go to Ukraine… It's really an extraordinary moment; we have an out-of-power ex-president who is in effect dictating American foreign policy on behalf of a foreign dictator or with the interests of a foreign dictator in mind.”
On Thursday, March 28, Beth Reinhard, Jon Swaine, and Aaron Schaffer of the Washington Post reported that Richard Grenell, an extremist who served as Trump’s acting director of national intelligence, has been traveling around the world to meet with far-right foreign leaders, “acting as a kind of shadow secretary of state, meeting with far-right leaders and movements, pledging Trump’s support and, at times, working against the current administration’s policies.”

In The Guardian today, Hugo Lowell reported that Trump’s social media company was kept afloat in 2022 “by emergency loans provided in part by a Russian-American businessman under scrutiny in a federal insider-trading and money-laundering investigation.”

Re: Donald Trump is my hero
^That is disgusting. I worked on the 1994 SA elections and did not get killed from threatened and actual election violence. Working for the election commission we were obvious targets. The violence came from 2 separatist groups, the white nationalists, and the Zulu nationalists. There are a lot of similarities today in the US with states diverging in law from American and human values.
Under dictator Trump, it becomes purely transactional. At his age, any bribes would be focused on his children. Across the board tariffs at 10% would be a regressive tax, and as the article says trigger hyperinflation. The current Trump tariffs on China, which make sense when they actually cause US manufacturing, are good, when the money is actually used to permanently onshore manufacturing inside the US. We will see if Biden succeeds in that with Chinese overcapacity policy. The existing tariffs on Chinese imports are essentially a $75 billion tax which goes into the US general budget. 10% across the board would generate a total of about $400 billion tax revenue.
Is Corporate America in Denial About Trump?
Despite his populist promises, many bigwigs are keeping the faith that it couldn’t really happen here.
Surprise: It can happen here.

Re: Donald Trump is my hero
Whether or not he was kidding about bringing a tyrannical end to our 248-year experiment in democracy, I ask him, Don’t you see why many Americans see such talk of dictatorship as contrary to our most cherished principles? Trump says no. Quite the opposite, he insists. “I think a lot of people like it.”

Trump and what he wants and is willing to do if he is reelected. It's scary.

Everyone is so politically fucked up that they're segregating themselves in the name of equal rights and liberation.

Re: Donald Trump is my hero
He’s telling us who he is, listen and believe. For those of you who say “he can’t really do all those things” please take off your rose colored glasses. He’s already bought the Supreme Court…For those of you who are cool with him, why?Popeye wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 10:07 pmhttps://time.com/6972021/donald-trump-2 ... dium=email

“When you are Democrat, you start off essentially at 40 percent because you have civil service, you have the unions and you have welfare,” Trump said Saturday. “And don’t underestimate welfare. They get welfare to vote, and then they cheat on top of that. They cheat.”

Re: Donald Trump is my hero
"Look, I’m no political strategist, but I’m not sure putting the presidential candidate who was just convicted on 34 felony counts in front of cameras to ramble like the drunk at the end of the bar for more than 30 minutes was a fantastic idea. Trump’s disjointed gurgling delivered several "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"-length ads for Democrats to use in the months ahead.
So where are the calls on the right to replace the 77-year-old felon who can’t talk straight with a newer, less legally encumbered version?
Face it, Republicans. The cheese has slid off Trump’s cracker, and it ain’t coming back. Friday was a preview of coming distractions for your party. Either get right or buckle up."

Re: Donald Trump is my hero
“Donald Trump is now a felon,” Cowherd said. “His campaign chairman was a felon. So is his deputy campaign manager, his personal lawyer, his chief strategist, his National Security Adviser, his Trade Advisor, his Foreign Policy Adviser, his campaign fixer, and his company CFO. They’re all felons. Judged by the company you keep. It’s a cabal of convicts.”
