Personal attacks are also to be kept to a minimum.

Just a reminder, even if it hasn't come up for a few pages and y'all should know this stuff by now:

This thread is not about Covid, lockdowns, or vaccines. It is about Donald Trump. While Trump was in office during the pandemic and his response to Covid is relevant, there are pertinent threads for you to post your opinions on those things in.

It might also do with reminding a few that when you post on the SRP, you are responsible for backing up/verifying your claims to fact. What this means is that you will be asked time to time to support your claims with evidence, to ensure that this forum is as free of misinfomation as we can make it.

Do not post conspiracy theories on this forum. We have an entire other forum for that.

Thanks all.

Congrats Royces Hart on the new thread title!

Needs a big ****ing please explain.
WTF

All we're likely to get is a GAGF.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

As crazy as it seemed at the time Biden has been proven to be correct in his judgement of Trump and issuing the pardons he did.

This has been brewing for a while.
My wife has female cousins in their mid 70's who were treated appallingly at the Us/Canada border about 4 years ago.

Their crime - didn't understand what the Yanks meant by a purse - they tried to find it in their handbag, the Yanks wanted their handbag(purse in American)
Thought they were being smart and detained them for 2 hours.

It really is amazing how Trump and his team can play the market like a fiddle.

Seems like too much power for one person (or administration) to have, and wield like this.

Will we ever know how many millions they have made (and will continue to make) from insider knowledge of market movements?

They've made millions without playing the market and their minions ignore it.

Welcome to Trump's America

Australian with working visa detained and deported on returning to US from sister’s memorial

Man who says he had previously left and re-entered the country multiple times alleges border officials called him ‘******ed’ and boasted ‘Trump is back in town’

I implore everyone here, to read this, and share this with everyone you know.

For context, this person worked for the educational techonology company my partner works for (based in UK, partner works from Aus dealing with Aus unis) - and the company was directly involved in helping raise money to get her out.

This shit isn't some far off reality. It's here. It affects us. It is now just as dangerous to travel to the US, as it is to travel to Russia, Turkey or Israel. If you can avoid it, stay the f*ck away.

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre

Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do it

With such a large military, what is left in the talent pool for law enforcement and Homeland Security is somewhat modest.

I've heard they're just bored on the border crossings at the moment. They are pretty quite because nobody wants to go over there. So they spend time searching everything and harassing people.

Visited the states once, in 2015, for academic reasons, where at LA airport I was detained, taken to a back room and asked questions such as "Had I had military training?", "Have weapons experience?", "Been to Pakistan, Iraq, Iran?", "Where are you going?", "Who is financing your trip?", all because of my surname. When I explained to them that my background is Hungarian in origin, they asked "Where's that?"! I'm not joking. I thought I was going to be sent back to Aus, but they didn't. I'm not that sure that would be the case now.

47th President of the United States: Donald Trump - Part 22: Hello Dear Leader



"Donald Trump has made no secret of his affinity for Russian president Vladimir Putin’s leadership style, and he got to experience it first-hand Thursday in a cabinet meeting that has been described as “Kremlin-esque.”

Just a day after President Trump backtracked on a disastrous tariff policy that sent global markets into turmoil, cabinet members lined up to massage the president’s ego with sycophantic language that would make North Korean newsreaders blush.


“I think that what you have assembled in your vision is a turning point and an inflection point in American history. And so just being a part of that is the greatest honor,” Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, said, after calling the president “family.”


Kelly Loeffler, head of the Small Business Administration, had little to say about the many small businesses about to be made bankrupt by Trump’s tariff chaos.

"Mr. President, on behalf of America's manufacturers, I want to thank you for standing up to the Chinese communist party and fighting for our main streets, for our workers ... Main Street is grateful for you," she said.


Trump sat stony-faced through each tribute, occasionally offering commentary when they were done.

It was unclear if a memo had been sent around or if Trump’s cabinet members are just beginning to understand what was required of them, but each followed suit and sprinkled their contributions with gratitude for his leadership.


Elon Musk thanked Trump for his “fantastic leadership.” Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, thanked him for his “leadership at the border.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi told the president his favorite fairy tale about the election and sought to rewrite the Constitution on the fly, implying that he should have control of the U.S. government’s budget, rather than Congress.


“You were overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority,” she said, repeating a lie that the president has often told. “The Americans want you to be president because of your agenda, and the courts are ruling that you have the authority to determine how the money of this country will be spent. That's what the American citizens wanted, and that's what they're getting,” she said.

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick was keen to make the president feel better about his capitulation on tariffs on Wednesday by assuring him that many as-yet unnamed nations are trying to negotiate new trade deals with the United States.

“They have come with offers that they never, ever, ever would have come with but for the moves that the President has made, demanding that people treat the United States with respect. We're getting the respect we deserve now,” he said.


Halfway through the meeting, a pedestrian joke from the president prompted a burst of laughter from everyone that seemed to shake the table.

After Trump’s cabinet had finished giving their updates, Trump spoke at length in response to questions from a White House pool that had been carefully selected and bolstered by friendly outlets, as it is in Moscow.

He described the rebound from his self-induced downturn as “the biggest day in history” and warned there would be “transition difficulty.”

The president appeared eager to move on from his attempt to impose tighter government control over the economy, and with it isolation from the global market, perhaps looking forward to a giant military parade that is rumored to be in the works for this summer - all to celebrate his birthday.

Sound familiar?"
