re: The past two weeks of policy from the Trump administration

This thread is like Xmas for you

And it always backfires on you so I cant want to bump this in the future

haven't really put much thought into this, but it wouldn't shock me if this was a part of this. Trump doesn't have good advisors and he's not manufacturing any ideas or policies himself, obviously. Maybe CK was the guy giving advice on how to keep the various groups in check, b/c he's clearly smarter and more in tune with both politics and the population than anyone in the Trump admin.

I see a lot of CKs qualities and influence in JD Vance. I think JD is even at odds with some of Trumps bs lately

Maybe Trump should step down and let JD take over and salvage this presidency before maga is ruined and the Dems take back power. With the current trajectory of Trump, that’s exactly what’s going to happen if he doesn’t revert back to America First

You make a decent point. Jr. would normally try to get to him ASAP and explain what is happening. But, the family may not care about anything other than making money and avoiding prosecution after 2028.

- Welfare through tariff checks that "high earners" who probably funded the checks will be left out of

- 50-year mortgage short cut to try to make homes affordable

- H1Bs are more qualified than you are to hand out Zyn packets at the gas station

- 600K Chinese students can stay and keep liberal universities funded

- No need to fix the ACA. We will just send out inflationary-causing checks to everyone!

- Hosts former Al-Qaeda Leader Ahmed al-Sharaa at White House

- You’re not really struggling financially, the stock market is doing great

- Check out my new gold-plating in the Oval Office

I remember during the primary, the TWS crowd told us Trump was the most conservative candidate.

Are you still whining over the 50 year mortgage? Again, you don’t have to get one and as far as the rebate checks if it doesn’t add to the deficit I am fine with it. You may not like but the American public school system is an absolute joke and so are most public universities. You have a problem with reality and cry all the time now

You act like these supposed “young, conservative males” all have degrees in mechanical engineering or anything for that matter. Nothing is stopping them from getting a degree in engineering. The real issue is most young Americans are lazy and don’t want to put in the work to get a defense in something difficult so they default to Business or Marketing. Those are not in need or useful

The tariff thing really pisses me off, it was meant (allegedly) to be like it use to be a means to phase out income tax, not give the lower brackets some of their money back while excluding the high earners

I mean why does a wealthy Wall Street type need a 2000 dollar check? It’s the lower and middle class(what’s left of it) that are struggling. Trust me, the Walton’s are gonna get that 2 grand in multiples in no time. Of all the shite Trumps done in the past week the only thing young people are not bitching about are the tariff checks.

At some point Trump/his supporters have to own things, instead of blaming Biden or others.

---

Well, that’s just silly. I’ll blame Trump for the things Trump did, and I’ll blame the Biden administration for the things they’ve done. Your obsession with hating Trump doesn’t mean I’m signing up for the “Orange Man Bad” bandwagon.
