You are fecking delusional. There's no peace in the middle east, the tariffs have tanked the economy, debt is at record highs, inflation still high. His only success is hunting down brown people, which is obviously the chief measure for you and your ilk. Meanwhile, women have actually died because of the abortion changes, health costs are soaring, democratic institutions are crumbling, the free press is in a death spiral.

You want to talk about real terms, the average American is worse off than when he took office. The billionaires are doing fine though.

Don’t forget the tens, if not hundreds of thousands of deaths from him cancelling USAID.

Dunno, isn't this the problem as they have no world view at all. If they actually got out & saw a bit of the planet they would realise that the USA isn't the be all & end all they think it is. Donald relies heavily on their insular ignorance.

You make a good point but those types tend to take their American exceptionalism with them when they go on package tours or cruises. Spend the whole time complaining about the food (not enough) and telling people how great the US is.

The dirt poor rednecks can’t afford it & wouldn’t see the point.

I will never forget n experience I had in Rome once - this was bout 25 years ago. There was an American group in the table next to us and they wanted to pay their bill in US dollars. The waiter entirely predictably told them to GAGF and to pay in Italian money (this was pre Euro) to which the Americans complained - and I quote - "I thought US dollars were good everywhere".

The level of exceptionalism and entitlement was remarkable.

How many maga heads would have exploded if it was Hunter biden getting pentagon contracts instead of Don Jr .
It would be fox news lead story for months.

Hunter would be kicking himself.

Coupla hundred grand for a board position pfffft what was he thinking, absolute amateur lol

To be fair to them, they weren't too far wrong. In South America and eastern Europe, US dollars would be the currency of choice. Heck, my wife's country (in Central America) adopted the US dollar as their official currency in the 2000s. When I travelled to eastern Europe almost 20 years ago, the black market treated you far kinder if you flashed US dollars as opposed to the local currency.

Add in the planned social media checks & tourism numbers will further plummet you'd expect.

Myself & my brother have been planning a trip to the US for years & finally decided early this year to do it next April/May - we just booked tickets for Scandinavia

My partner & I had planned to travel there but have decided we're not going near the joint till Trump is a distant memory.
I'm careful on other platform but if they saw my history here they would lock me up.

Let me know when they rip the gov't off more than your grifting orange demigod.

Fish rots from the head

No doubt, but as we moral evangelical christians say, two wrongs dont make a right.

In the '90's after the fall of communism on Eastern Europe, USD and even AUD were a hedge against the then rampant inflation.

A relative of my wife did some money changing for us and changed some AUD into Forints at the same exchange rate as a bank on that day.

He was going to put the cash under his mattress.

I had one of the Bicentennial polymer notes in my wallet. He didn't want that one but was quite okay with the paper one

the whole trump family are cleaning up, not only the despot. in addition to corrupting the media.

"David Ellison reportedly told Trump he’d make “sweeping changes” to CNN if Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. gets approved.

Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy.

Corruption on display."

the tariffs causing prices to rise might just be the thing that does the demagogue in.

Democratic Wins Media (@demwinsmedia)

BREAKING: In a powerful moment and huge rebuke of Donald Trump, the Chair of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, just admitted it is Trump’s tariffs that are now raising Americans prices.

[Markfs]

absolutely no one expected this!

Trusting the analysis of a democratic party twitter feed would bring smiles to Hilary. The interest rate was cut by 0.25% although the board of the reserve had some disagreements. The tariffs haven't had much impact at this stage and most of the inflated prices are due to capitalists wanting to buy the latest rocket to mars.

fear, racism and division were always the motives.

Rep. Jimmy Gomez (@gomez.house.gov)

A federal judge just confirmed what I’ve been warning: Trump’s deployment in Los Angeles wasn’t about safety, it was about building a national police force and testing the limits of unchecked power. And now it’s simple: end the deployment and send every last troop home, NOW. [contains quote...

it's a mystery to me why western governments haven't isolated the fascist state that is america today.

"Yes I know. They have all the guns. And the biggest economy. But we run a trade deficit with them. We don’t need them. Just tell them to take their spy bases, gun obsession, non-existent subs, fundamentalist religion and creatively exhausted pop culture and play with themselves. The USA is over."

Agree.

But why will some people blow one wrong entirely out of proportion, and simultaneously offer unconditional support to the other wrong

This isn't virgin ground. People still support israel. People still believe in a god that someone conjured up thousands of years ago. Some people even think carlton will win a premiership in the next decade.

I'm but ony old fart, but as a neophyte to computing when transferring documents was carrying a five and a quarter floppy inch disc to the other work station, Ive always had at least 3 email addresses. One, my formal one, two, my friends and aquantances one based on my Uni nick name and the third, being disposable to log into forums, facebook. you tube etc

I thought that everyone did that!

New phone, have my proper email account and the "safe" and bland face book account linked to that email account

It never hurt to be slightly paranoid just because you knew there were people out there just aching to get you

You'll be thankful to know that Palantir has assembled all your history ready for future actions taken against you.

Highly disagree.
I could walk down any street in California and round up 100 illegals every day.
ICE can't even successfully catch 2 in a day.
Absolutely horribly unsuccessful figures.
