Nah.
Never.

Now for the run-up to my answer. My firm belief is the people who side with Trump, or Putin, are too stubborn, too dishonest, too stupid to allow them making decisions for other people. There might be Trumptards that aren't too mentally crippled, but I can't find them were I live.
What are America's needs? My answer: all Trumptards out of government. All other problems will be solvable with those people out of the decision loops. The Trumptards can run their own individual lives but they should not be allowed anywhere near other people and their property. Let the Trumptards mess up their own lives but not be allowed interference with other lives.

On 7/31/2019 Trump has a private meeting with Putin. On 8/3/2019, just 3 days after his private meeting with Putin Trump issues a request for a list of top US spies. By 2021 the CIA reports an unusually high number of their agents are being captured and/or being murdered. During the search executed at Mar A Lago the FBI find more documents with lists of U.S. informants on them.

You just had 4 years to solve them and all you did was create a lot more problems.
Get fucked, loser.

Economists are starting to worry about a serious Trump recession
Tariffs on America’s neighbours and assault on federal government will hit US economy
25 February 2025 4:00pm GMT
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/02/25/economists-starting-wo
rry-serious-trump-recession/
Donald Trump’s assault on the US federal government and the world’s interlinked manufacturing system have together reached an economic tipping point.
“It seems almost unavoidable that we are headed for a deep, deep recession,” said Jesse Rothstein, Berkeley professor and former chief economist at the US labour department.
Once the pace of job losses crosses a critical line, the multiplier effects can snowball suddenly.
Prof Rothstein said monthly non-farm payrolls – the barometer of US economic health watched closely by markets – could turn viciously negative by late spring, contracting at rates surpassed only during the worst months of Covid and the Lehman crisis in 2008.
“I think we’re going to see historically large drops. Losses of 400,000 a month are not implausible because people are getting nervous out there.
“It is not just the federal employees being fired: it’s all the other people worried they could be next, so they are cutting back too,” he told The Telegraph.
Torsten Slok, of Apollo Global, said layoffs could approach 1m after factoring in the likely chain reaction through contractors. “We are starting to worry about the downside risks to the economy and markets,” he said.
Mr Slok said it is a mystery as to why credit spreads and equities are still so well-behaved when the US Economic Policy Uncertainty Index was now higher than at any time during the great recession.
Prof Rothstein said the damage would not show up immediately due to lag effects. The ugly months will be in April and May, but by then secondary shocks will have spread far and wide.
“There are all kinds of spillovers. Contracts for external contractors are being cut. Nobody knows how much imports are going to cost next month, or if we are even going to have accurate weather forecasts any more.
“How could you hire in these conditions? This is going to be very, very bad,” he said.
Markets are implicitly betting that Trump’s trade wars are just bluster, but he restated on Monday night that his 25pc tariffs against Mexico and Canada would go ahead next week, which would instantly snarl up the North American auto industry.
“It would be devastating,” said Ford’s Jim Farley.
Trump has a particular loathing for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its weather service, deemed the spearhead of “the climate change alarm industry” by Maga’s Project 2025.
Officials at NOAA have already been told that “climate change”, and “pollution” are henceforth banned terms. The office of management and budget plans to cut 38pc of their funding as part of its campaign to root out “woke agendas”. Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick wants to abolish the agency entirely.
The surprise is that Elon Musk’s army of zoomer zealots are taking on everybody, even the US defence department. It will fire 5,400 civilian staff next week as the first stage of a 5pc to 8pc cull of the Pentagon staff to “cut the fat and grow the [warrior] muscle.”
It is hard to gauge the macroeconomic intensity of the fiscal cuts because judges are trying to jam on the brakes. We do not know what is mere theatre. I incline to the view that the culture war is deadly serious.
Orville Schell, director of the Asia Society, says Trump is uncannily like his fellow agent of insurrection, Mao Zedong, who also revelled in permanent havoc as a governing method.

Trump has supposedly come to an agreement with Ukraine over its mineral wealth:
Quote:https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/ukraine-agrees-to-mineral-rights-deal
Under the terms of the agreement, Ukraine would pay some proceeds from future mineral resource development into a fund that would invest in projects in Ukraine.... The size of the U.S.’s stake in the fund and joint ownership deals will be hashed out in future agreements.
-with-u-s-3bbd871f?st=1h6ob7&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
That is clear as mud — and it's the best explanation I could find. Does this mean the US gets money out of the deal? Or minerals? Trump is obsessed with the idea of being paid.
In any case, Zelensky is due in Washington on Friday to sign the deal, so presumably all the details will be available by then. The Winds of Change are blowing hard.

She spent half of her 40-year career at sea, commanding a destroyer, two carrier strike groups, and the U.S. Sixth Fleet. Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired Admiral Lisa Franchetti - the first woman to become the Navy's top officer, serving as Chief of Naval Operations.
Pete Hegseth is an alcoholic who likely is looking for minors online because he has all the characteristics of being a pedophile.

Republicans are coming off of their best presidential election performance with low-income voters in recent memory. According to the (imperfect) 2024 exit polls, President Donald Trump won voters earning $50,000 or less, something he didn’t do in either his 2020 or 2016 campaigns. This is a landmark measure of the Trump era realignment, with lower-income, noncollege voters of all races moving toward the Republican Party, while college-educated, higher-income white voters migrate to the Democrats.
Republican governance, however, has not kept up with these changes.
After a chaotic, grinding effort Tuesday to corral the necessary votes, House Republicans barely passed a blueprint for their “one big, beautiful bill” containing much of Trump’s legislative agenda. It tees up their ability to use the filibuster-proof reconciliation process to enact a sweeping bill, along party lines, down the road.
The blueprint creates space for a mishmash of Republican priorities, like beefing up border security and boosting defense spending. But its core is the same old, same old: Cutting spending for programs that poor people rely on, and cutting taxes. It is, in other words, roughly the same agenda that Republicans sought in 2017, when Trump entered the White House for the first time, even though the party’s composition has changed significantly since then.
The most controversial element for Republicans is that the blueprint tasks the Energy and Commerce Committee with finding $880 billion in cuts. This powerful committee, once described as having jurisdiction over “anything that moves, burns, or is sold,” also oversees Medicaid. Since Trump has ruled out cuts to Medicare, it’s Medicaid, a program that spends nearly a trillion dollars per year, that’s the obvious pot to raid for cash. Indeed, House Republicans earlier this year put out a menu of spending cuts they could choose from, and the bulk of the Energy and Commerce options relate to Medicaid. Republicans have some other big targets, for other committees, in mind, whether that’s rolling back food stamps or student loans. But the members have cornered themselves into targeting Medicaid for the bulk of the savings they want to achieve in order to finance tax cuts.
It has at least begun to dawn on some Republicans that the party now describing itself as the tribune of the American poor might be acting counterintuitively here.

Quote:The straightforward solution is a return to the tax rates when Eisenhower was President. But that is a solution Trump would never accept. How much did he pay in 2016? 2017? $750.
