What happened to the Trump supporters around here?

You make Trump sound like he's another crooked politician.

 

It's a saga much to drawn-out for me. Can we get to the end where he has made China #1, Europe #2, Russia #3 and USA #4.

The bans imposed yesterday/today by China on China trade with US is possibly a game changer. Not allowed to buy planes or parts from US and not allowed to supply certain sectors in US with components.

 

Hopefully they got caught up in an ICE immigration sweep, were abducted and tossed into a prison camp with no due process, and deported to a Supermax gulag in El Salvador.

 

Every single one of them would still stand up and pledge how wonderful Cheat-oh Jesus is and how much more the world is better for him fucking it all over.

 

I'm sure they're out there somewhere, still equal parts brainless and heartless.

 

I am gutted, that a man who I thought to be intelligent, lost the plot the moment the country trusted him and is making a complete fool of himself.

Canada.
It maybe true that they have taken advantage of orders to their advantage over recent decades.
BUT THEY ONLY SUPPLIED GOODS WHEN THE US ORDERED THEM.

China.
A total ban on imports from China, would solve the entire current US problem in one hit.

Elon Musk.
The perfect example of a greedy companies who have destroyed the US economy over recent decades.
They should lock them all up and lose the key.

The sad part.
Trump blew the whistle during his first term and the UK listened.
Since then, we have reduced imports from China by around 70%

The key to world economy is balance of payments.
The UK have had a deal with India since 1600 and it still works today.

PS.
As yet, Trump has not set a tariff on Google.
That one would be fun. In the US, it would shut down YouTube.

 

Oh look..........a fresh post in the Politics section !

 

Thank you for your detailed reply.

Trade with China has certainly increased regarding our exports, but it is far from balanced. They are currently building thousands of apartments all over London, which will undoubtedly be reduced to slums within a couple of decades. Figures from the land registry show that China OWNS 17% of London. This is increasing both property purchase and rental costs.
Unfortunately, I have zero faith or trust in recent UK governments.

I still trust India regarding fair and reciprocal trade, but our inept government gould even mess that one up.

Trade certainly does not need barriers, it needs competent governments on both sides to balance it.
I learnt how it should work 66 years ago, when I was 10 years old.
Although it is never mentioned, I think our late queen kept an eye on things. Hopefully Charles will not turn out to be a right Charley. LOL

PS.
If you presented those facts in your reply in a manifesto, you could add "President of the United States" to your HF avatar.

 

OMG. Now look what the idiot has done.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order that aims to delay Medicare negotiations for a broad category of prescription drugs, handing the deep-pocketed pharmaceutical industry a major win as it lobbies aggressively against efforts to rein in its pricing power.
Trump's order, titled "Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First," instructs Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to work with Congress to "modify" the Medicare drug price negotiation program that was established under the Biden administration and has already yielded significant results despite pharma companies' best efforts to block it in court.

Specifically, Trump calls for a four-year extension of the period during which small-molecule prescription drugs are exempt from price negotiations with Medicare. Under the Inflation Reduction Act, small-molecule drugs—which are typically taken in pill form and represent 90% of medications currently in circulation—are not subject to the price negotiation process until at least nine years after their Food and Drug Administration approval date.

Steve Knievel, a drug policy advocate at Public Citizen, warned in a statement that by pushing back the negotiation date for many drugs, Trump's order could do the opposite of its stated goal, potentially reversing recent progress on an issue that has long plagued the United States.

"Further delaying Medicare drug price negotiation would lead to higher prices for patients and taxpayers, not lower ones," said Knievel. "Empowering Medicare to negotiate drug prices is the only significant legislative measure taken to address Big Pharma price gouging in the last 40 years. Now Trump proposes to undermine that singular achievement."
"Extending negotiation delay periods," Knievel added, "is nothing but a total capitulation to the demands of drug corporation lobbyists that want to continue to overcharge Medicare beneficiaries and taxpayers."

The advocacy group Protect Our Care said following the order that "Trump just caved to Big Pharma—again."

"His new executive order pushes to delay Medicare drug price negotiations, giving drug companies four extra years to price gouge seniors," said Protect Our Care. "The only winners here are the drug companies."
The president's new order echoes language that pharma lobbyists have used in their messaging against the Medicare price negotiation program, which the industry has opposed from the start.

The first section of the order states that the four-year difference between when small-molecule drugs and biologics are subject to Medicare price negotiations under current law is known as the "pill penalty"—a label that the pharmaceutical industry's largest lobbying organization has invoked repeatedly in its attacks on the Biden-era program.

The "pill penalty" language was also used in ads run by a group called Seniors 4 Better Care, which—as Sludge's Donald Shaw and David Moore revealed—"is not really a seniors group, but rather a front for a lobbyist-led shell group called the American Prosperity Alliance."

"Seniors 4 Better Care has ramped up its spending on ads that appear to be targeting Trump and his inner circle," Shaw and Moore reported in February.

Earlier this year, Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate—including leading recipients of pharmaceutical industry campaign cash—introduced legislation that would delay the price negotiation process for small-molecule drugs, signaling GOP support for the objectives laid out in Trump's executive order.

"Make no mistake," Patients for Affordable Drugs executive director Merith Basey said of the legislation, "this is yet another attempt by Big Pharma to rig the system in its favor—at the expense of patients."

 

This was all written up in Project 2025, and before that it was mostly part of the Koch brothers plan for an Oligarchy.

 

Billionaires for Democracy and Equality !! The Koch bros....

Funny, in the next neighborhood, there lives one of the tRump crazies....he had like 50 tRump signs and flags all over his suburban size lawn. I drove by today and there is one lone sign, close to the house...."Pray for Trump". I so wanted to pull over and write in on the sign "to go to prison" below it.

 

I assume recess is over and they had to go back into grammar school classes.

 

LOL

Speaking of Trump supporters. Horrible all his employees had to lose their jobs, but I'm glad this fuckwit is ruined. Couldn't have happened to a better guy...

Do it tonight, I'll drive you, wear your covid mask

 

Some of that to which you responded also sounds like ancient England - Queen Anne, if I recall.

I wonder when he will sign an order to 'Make them eat cake'. Presumably it will be the bigliest bestest cake in the world.

 

I was happy to see karma come around and bite his ass good. How humiliating it must be to have to plead poverty in court.

Was he expecting Trump to come to his rescue? Too late!

Guiiani did far worse and is getting off easy now. Someone bailed him out. He.knows too much.

 

Where are the Trump supporters? They’re probably out protesting
