That is a stupid, stupid thing to say.
Get them the fuck out.
You build a bunch of extra prisons today, somebody is going to want to keep those filled even after we get the illegals out after investing all that money.

I heard bits and pieces of Trump's word salad that he spewed (virtually) at the WEF. I don't remember enough of it to comment specifically but it was pretty cringeworthy.
OTOH most of the globalist speakers spew word salad there too, so I suppose nobody should take seriously what is said there.

A one-off concern, not a gripe. I have heard Trump comment more than once that he was saved by God ("If I hadn't hadn't turned my head just at that moment...") to save America. I hope he's not serious about that, but it sounds like he half believes it.

I didn't sit and watch the whole thing, but at least what I heard of it I liked. If you remember specifically what parts you thought were cringe, I'd like to hear them.

OK... Saudi Arabia and OPEC are not about to bring down the cost of oil to "end the war in Ukraine"?
Why should they???? They are 100% dependent on oil money. Trump would have to give them something YUGE! in return. And what that is, I can't imagine. Maybe he'll give them Gaza, or Iran.
I think AI is a scam, and I wouldn't throw two pennies at it.
Deregulation, lower taxes (for domestic producers and manufacturers), low interest rates, lower energy costs... I guess it's supposed to lower the value of USD and spur manufacturing at home. Needs thought.
But I conflated this speech with another. If I can find it I'll highlight the problematic areas.

Something to watch for: Trump's sanctions war on BRICS nations. If he does it, it's gonna boomerang. Believe me.

Donald Trump Attacks Zelensky: 'He's No Angel'

President Donald Trump has said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is "no angel" and suggested he shares the blame for the start of the Russia-Ukraine war.
In his first sit-down interview since returning to the White House, Trump criticized Zelensky, saying that he "shouldn't have allowed this war to happen."
"Zelensky was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more powerful," Trump told Fox News. "He shouldn't have done that, because we could have made a deal."
Why It Matters
Trump's criticism of both Zelensky and Vladimir Putin in the interview risks making it more difficult for him to help broker a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.
It also signifies a major shift in tone from Joe Biden's administration, which offered substantial financial and military backing for Ukraine's war effort.
What To Know
In his interview, Trump criticized Zelensky for wanting to fight the war despite massive military deficiencies in comparison to Russia.
"First of all, he's fighting a much bigger entity," Trump said. "We started pouring equipment... and they [Ukraine] had the bravery to use the equipment, but in the end, it's a war that has to be settled," Trump said.
But he added that Zelensky has now "had enough" and "wants to settle" in order to secure peace.
Quote:Where is he getting those numbers from? Kiev? If so, he's really misunderstanding the war.
Trump also blamed Putin for the war, claiming that Russia had lost around 850,000 soldiers.
Quote:... "and various other participating countries" Newsweek left that out.
"Putin shouldn't have done it... and it has to stop," he said.
He warned that the U.S. would impose "massive tariffs and massive taxes" on Russia...
What does he mean by "participating nations"? Does he mean nations alleged to be directly contributing to Russia's war effort? (supposedly N Korea, China, Iran, possibly Belarus). Doubtful, since Iran N Korea and already blockaded.
Does he mean any nation buying products from Russia? Well, that would be pretty much the whole world. Or does he mean something intermediate, like the BRICS?
Bc I think Trump is really using the war in Ukraine to tackle BRICS nations, and BRICS maybe wannabes, like Saudi Arabia.
Quote:No. RUSSIA won the Second World War. OOPS!,
and if Putin does not agree to a peace deal soon.
Meanwhile, Trump also reiterated his claim that the war would never have started if he had been in office over the past four years. He blamed Biden's administration for provoking Putin and allowing him to profit from soaring energy prices.
"Biden did a horrible, horrible job in allowing that war to start, it should never have started," he said. "He allowed energy to go way up, if he brought it down the war wouldn't have started."
What People Are Saying
President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on Thursday: "I'm not looking to hurt Russia. I love the Russian people, and always had a very good relationship with President Putin - and this despite the Radical Left's Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX. We must never forget that Russia helped us win the Second World War

He wants to move out the people in Palestine by move people around Joe Stalin style, yeah Trump maybe you should read history ....they already tried that one...its called 'Black September' it led to the Jordanian Civil War, as Palestine types who were relocated around the Middle East and problem people went psycho stabbing, blowing shit up, burning, shooting everywhere.

Eggs are pricey again. What’s Trump doing about it?
A carton of eggs today costs more than $4 on average, up from about $2.50 a year ago.
The USDA forecasts that egg prices will continue to rise through the first few months of 2025 before dropping to about half the peak price, according to the agency’s January forecasts. However, new or expanding bird flu outbreaks in the US could disrupt this.
. . . while the risk to most people might be low now, the longer the epidemic in poultry continues and the more opportunities the virus has to adapt to spread amongst humans, the more likely the risk for a pandemic becomes.

I knew Trump would probably piss me off over the Middle East (now called Western Asia, BTW) sooner or later, but I didn't think it would be this soon.
Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is a Jew, a Zionist, and a real estate investor. He's reportedly expressed a desire to clean out Gaza and turn it into a resort community.
I sense a lot of deal-making in the background. Deals with Mohammed bin Salman (Saudi) Deals with Israeli genocidal government officials (Netanyahu, Smotrich etc). This isn't a vital American interest. Why is Trump meddling with Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia?

Trump Calls For Jordan, Egypt To Take More Palestinian Refugees, "Clean Out" Gaza
President Donald Trump said on Jan. 25 that he wants Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab nations to accept more Palestinian refugees from the Gaza Strip, with the goal of moving out enough of the war-torn area’s population to “just clean [it] out” and create a virtual clean slate of the Palestinian territory.
Trump made the comments during a 20-minute question-and-answer conference with reporters on Air Force One Saturday. He said he lifted former President Joe Biden’s hold on sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, which was intended to lower civilian casualties in the Israel–Hamas War, now paused during a fragile cease-fire deal.
Trump said he released the bombs that day, “They’ve been waiting for them for a long time.”
When asked why he lifted the ban, Trump said, “Because they bought” the bombs.
The president has backed Israel for much of his political career. Regarding his goals for Gaza, Trump described a call earlier in the day with Jordan’s King Abdullah II and said he would speak with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi on Sunday.
“I’d like Egypt to take people,” Trump said.
“You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You know, it’s over.’”
During his call with Abdullah, Trump said he complimented Jordan for taking in Palestinian refugees and told the king, “I'd love for you to take on more, cause I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it’s a mess. It’s a real mess.”
The resettling or displacement of Gaza refugees would likely spur pushback from Palestinians, who hold a connection to the region. Trump said the area has experienced “many, many conflicts” for centuries and that resettling could be “temporary or long term.”
“Something has to happen,” the president said. “But it’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished, and people are dying there.”
“So, I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations, and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change,” he added.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office did not issue an immediate response to Trump’s remarks.
After his inauguration on Jan. 20, Trump said Gaza has “really got to be rebuilt in a different way.”
”Gaza is interesting. It’s a phenomenal location, on the sea. The best weather, you know, everything is good. It’s like, some beautiful things could be done with it,” he added.
The response from the Hamas terrorist group and its aligned groups was swift, with the terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad calling Trump’s idea “deplorable.” The group told AFP that the plan encourages “war crimes and crimes against humanity by forcing our people to leave their land.”
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, has fought alongside Hamas and other allied Palestinian groups throughout the Israel-Hamas war. It is the second-largest militant group in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. The U.S. State Department designated it as a terrorist group in 1997.
Bassem Naim of Hamas’s political bureau told AFP that Palestinians would foil those plans, just as they have with other ideas “for displacement and alternative homelands over the decades.”
He added that Gazans would not “accept any offersNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
