The Donald Trump Score Card

Good point!

 

Yes. Americans have descended to that level.

Some take pride in the remarks of a spoiled preschooler on solemn holidays.

 

TACO trading.

TACO = Trump Always Chickens Out


The TACO trade is the new Trump trade. Here's what to know about the meme ruling the stock market.

 

The TACO trade is the new Trump trade. Here's what to know about the meme ruling the stock market.

excerpt:

"You can get some short-term gains there," Sterner said, but he also warned that chances are high the US could face a more damaging downturn if trade deals aren't negotiated before the tariff pauses expire, though that isn't Apollon's base case.

"If this game continues, it will put the US economy into recession at some point, and that's when that game ends in a bad way," Sterner said.

 

Termination notices expected to go out to all remaining Voice of America employees this week

excerpt:

"All remaining staff at Voice of America are expected to receive reduction-in-force notices this week, likely closing the book on the network founded 80 years ago to combat Nazi disinformation during World War II.

excerpt:

Since then, a few dozen VOA staffers have returned to office, which staffers believe is an effort from USAGM senior adviser Kari Lake — a staunch Trump ally — to maintain statutory minimums. The most recent article leading VOA’s website is from March 15. Earlier this month, Lake announced that VOA would receive content from One America News Network, a far-right, pro-Trump network that has propagated conspiracies around Covid-19 and the 2020 presidential election.

 

Trump transformed it from Voice Of America to Voice Of One America News.

 

Kari Lake couldn't admit she lost the AZ governor race and fought about it in the courts for years.

She also lost the AZ U.S. Senate race.

 

Trump is firing everyone except a few in order to maintain statutory minimums to try to make it look like he isn't behaving illegally.


Termination notices expected to go out to all remaining Voice of America employees this week

excerpt:

Employees are anticipating termination notices to go out this week to all full-time staff at the embattled news network, according to four VOA employees familiar with the situation granted anonymity to discuss unannounced plans.

Those terminations would affect the 800 remaining workers at the agency, after nearly 600 VOA contractors were dismissed by the Trump administration earlier this month. Employees have been advised by management to expect termination notices in the coming days."

 

Trump's pardons highlight Justice Department's pullback from public corruption cases

excerpt:

"Jenkins’ co-defendants all pleaded guilty, and jurors didn't take long to convict Jenkins last year, deliberating for around two hours before they found him guilty on all counts. When Jenkins was sentenced to 10 years in prison in March, the acting U.S. attorney for the Western District of Virginia said he "violated his oath of office and the faith the citizens of Culpeper County placed in him when he engaged in a cash-for-badges scheme."

But on Monday, President Donald Trump announced he was pardoning Jenkins, calling him "a victim of an overzealous Biden Department of Justice" who "doesn’t deserve to spend a single day in jail." It's part of a broader pattern for Trump, who in the first few months of his second term has pardoned at least four supportive former public officials who were convicted of financial improprieties."

Canada needs a golden dome to protect it from Trump.

 

Canada won't have to worry about their dogs and cats being abducted and eaten by immigrants.

Canada, as Trump's cherished 51st state, will simply have to be concerned about being destroyed by Trump's economic policies, his dismantling of agencies like FEMA and attacking the Canadian media and universities.

Trump upset about the TACO trading he spawned.

excerpt:

Traders have reportedly come up with the acronym TACO, which stands for “Trump always chickens out,” to take advantage of the trade environment created by the president’s habit of threatening to impose tariffs on countries, and then backing off at the last moment.

He bristled when asked about it Wednesday in an Oval Office press conference.

“Don’t ever say what you say, that’s a nasty question,” Trump told a journalist who asked for his response to the acronym. “To me that’s the nastiest question.”

Mass. woman speaks out after video shows ICE agents smashing car window to get husband

excerpt:

But instead of waiting for their lawyer, the ICE agents smashed the car window, broke into the vehicle and dragged the couple out.

“They looked for a hammer and they broke the car window and dragged us out of the car,” Marilu told Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra in Spanish. “Three ICE agents held my husband. They took us out unjustly... I tried to talk to them and ask them if they had an order to detain him. They didn’t respond or show me anything. They had no reason to detain him. We’ve been following the rules of this country. We are doing things the right way. That’s why we have a lawyer.”

Their attorney said Juan Mendez is now being held in a detention facility in Dover, New Hampshire, with a hearing scheduled for May 7.

 

Panic!
