Trump has done a lot in less than one year in office. We don't deserve him.

No brakes on this train!





quote:

Love him or want him gone, the numbers tell a story Round Two that cuts through the noise.

Markets up 17% since election night - the Dow jumped 1,503 points the day after his win, and it hasn't looked back.

Inflation at 3% as of September - not the victory lap some claim, still above the Fed's 2% target, but down from the chaos of '22-'23.

All 32 NATO members hit the 2% defense spending target in 2025 - something that seemed impossible three years ago when only 10 countries managed it.

Then Trump pushed them to 5% by 2035, and they actually agreed.
That's more than diplomacy. That's leverage.

The Middle East? Trump brokered a Gaza peace deal in October that ended two years of war, got hostages released, and brought 30+ countries to the table.

Marco Rubio called it "the most significant peace agreement since World War II."

Hyperbole? Maybe. But even the UN Security Council approved it, which tells you something shifted.

U.S. crude hit 13.8 million barrels per day in August - another record.
Natural gas production topped 122 billion cubic feet daily.

The man weaponizes chaos like it's strategy - threatening, cajoling, breaking every diplomatic rule - and somehow keeps landing wins.

He praised a democratic socialist mayor one week, squeezed NATO allies the next, gave Hamas a 48-hour deadline that actually worked.

Critics call it luck. Supporters call it winning.

What happens next:
He's got 18 months before midterms to either cement a legacy that reshapes American foreign policy and economic power, or watch it implode under the weight of his own chaos.

The Gaza deal's Phase One - will Hamas actually disarm? Will the technocratic government work? Nobody knows.

No middle ground with this guy. Either he pulls off the impossible and forces every political analyst to eat their words, or the whole thing comes apart in spectacular fashion.

Place your bets.

I get the feeling that the MAGA Movement only has, at most, a few years to live.

Trump's version of "America-First" is MAGA, and it has proven at times (because of influence of cabinet choices) to not necessarily be America-First.

I can say through my anecdotal daily observations, that the "America-First" movement is more alive and well than ever, and getting stronger. If we want any shot at winning the midterms and avoid a President Newsom* beginning in January of 2029, JD Vance and some prominent GOPe members are going to have to very surgically separate themselves from the current incarnation of MAGA, and solidify themselves as solely America-First.

People like Rubio being on Trump's cabinet are giving off an "old-guard GOPe Warpig" vibe at times. Ka$h appears to be useless at times. Bondi has already wrecked herself. All the Israel shite has been a big stain in what appears to be an 80/20 issue in favor of telling Israel's government to handle their own business on their own, and in light of the Mossad/Epstein connection.

Right now with the infighting among the voting base, I don't see how we keep the majorities in Congress. That would essentially lame-duck Trump's final two years, so we'd better accomplish whatever the hell we can right now and then start building mutual support behind JD. If the Dims get the House, Senate and Presidency in November of '28, we're finished as a nation. That's not hyperbole.

Ah, the bi-weekly thread for affirmation of loyalty and devotion to Dear Leader.

Not creepy at all.

can you actually define this? It’s so ridiculous to dismiss Trump and act like this administration isn’t America First over vague accusations like this. How can you look at the first ten months and your main takeaway is “but Israel!”.

I know you listen to Nick Fuentes because he says the same thing. This whole effort to separate MAGA from America First is manufactured and does nothing but undermine the most America First President we’ve had in forever.

I’m disappointed in the # of perp walks, most of all. And I think judges should be on that list too.

Of course. Because trump only has, at most, a few years to live.

And a cult of personality cannot survive without its leader.

Sure, Vance and others will try. But thankfully, it will fall apart.

I'm more interested in the job market than the stock market

And the job market has been lethargic

We’re not even a year into his second term and all people want to focus on is the negatives. His second term has been wildly more successful than his first.

Be thankful that Joe Biden or Kamala aren’t President and focus on the vast list of positives.

Permanent Tax Cuts

ICE funding increased exponentially

Middle East Peace deal

DEI has been cut to a halt at the federal level

USAID dismantled

Energy production unleashed

A lot of these are in the early stages and the results you’ll see will come in the coming months and years.

i.e. permanent deficits

More out of control spending

We'll see how that holds up, but yes that's another positive.

Energy production unleashed

It was already unleashed

Our lethargic job market suggests that his dumb fricking trade war may be such a failure that it outweighs whatever positives come from everything else
