They already said they were taking $93bn per month and cockwomble Bessent managed to muster the energy to state that he thought they might do $500bn in a year. This is their data and available to all the MSM - WHY DO THEY CONTINUE TO FORGET THEIR PROFESSION & INTEGRITY?
Well let us see - according to their own figures, they have taken in $93Bn in tariff revenue so far in total, and that total cockwomble Bessent says it could total $500Bn in a year. So not sure where these trillions come from. Probably the same place as those foreign investments!!
Yes, but again, if the Media, ahem, do their job they would point to the hundreds of scaled implementations across the world that are powering whole towns very successfully on a local level, and otherwise pumping their energy direct into the national grids to be used as normal
yes CNN - so please tell why you never push back when republicans tell you there is no way to store energy from renewables and they only work when the wind is blowing and the sun is out. All you need to ask is "Surely you are familiar with batteries and their utilisation in most installations?"
No, I want to see his presidential immunity reversed first by a new properly constructed congressional law and rammed forcibly down SCOTUS' throats to swallow and be forced to implement. No ambiguity, just straight simple proper law. Just one sentence ought to do it.
Reform must have been reading the Art of the Deal - surely the Taliban would not need paying to take people they want to persecute anyway but escaped them. What genius came up with the idea of paying them too? Just to be clear, my above comment is tongue in cheek. This is wholly unacceptable policy
Was about to say the same thing - we have a living example right over the pond of what happens in this scenario, not to mention that Farage was in Trump's pocket most of his 4 years off no doubt planning strategy with the project 2025 team.
The bit I still cannot get my head around is that right at the start they admitted it was an administrative error. Why didn't they just leave it there? Or perhaps Stephen Goebbels or Hermann Trump took issue with admitting any mistake and chose this hill to (hopefully and eventually) die on
True, but it looks like they have one of the smaller pieces in the bag - Rubio perhaps? Or Buttlick's head and Witless's head straight after delivering that nauseating performance in the "cabinet meeting"
I have been saying this since the descent from the golden escalator. Sadly it has become worse and worse in the US, and now it is happening over here in the UK too
👇👇
I want someone - anyone - to ask him exactly what the difference would be between an autopen and his approach, which appears to require a children book style precis by aides of the order before he laboriously scribbles whatever he calls that mess. No difference at all is there?
That time has been and gone - at least for the ones that go to the "pressers" in the WH. They have lost their right to call themselves journalists and I don't care if they say they are forced to by the oligarch owners. It is called integrity. They should resign and go independent.
Yes, his brain is small, so he has reached the limit of the briefing Goebbels gave him last time whilst the Idiot in chief watched on. Farage now needs the next dose of strategy from Stephen Goebbels and the rest of P2025 as can clearly be seen by his soundbites in the UK press.
Yes, he just took it from the Trump/ Goebbels playbook having spent so much time there and it will be the same clusterfuck
The Privy purse isn't big enough for the orange felon so I welcome seeing your evidence that CIIIR paid anything. Also, the existence of a trade deficit or not when it comes to Trump is now demonstrably irrelevant.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlcd... not getting reported anywhere...makes you wonder what Starmer paid, among others.
well to be fair, I am sure anyone would look preferable to that dead fish Jared, who, along with Miller/ Goebbels have to go down as some of the weirdest looking people. Good ol' Johnson is playing catchup but has a way to go.
And WHERE are the MSM when it comes to even pushing back on this simplest of tasks?? They should all be fired for gross incompetence.
They should have chucked one of the bags from the hold on top of her blanket. I would have.
Always the superficial with that oaf - never anything substantial
Absolutely - I noticed that at the time, and went back to it time and time again when the MSM said he had sworn an oath on the bible etc to check. Cheating toerag knew exactly what he was doing.
As opposed to being massively outnumbered with anybody in the room.
Hopefully Macron and co can prop up Starmer, who is still a limp piece of overdone spaghetti when it comes to scraping to Trump
Not to mention the reversal of that insane ruling from SCOTUS on presidential immunity. Presidents should be held to the highest standards given their oath to the constitution.
...still need the base. I guess Trump's handlers are having daily meetings wondering how the hell they are going to hang on before they have no choice but to "invite him to retire". At this rate of his decline though methinks they are screwed.
Project 25 and Heritage are in a bind though - I mean, Vance isn't leading ANY popularity contests and the Dems, if they had any sense would run non stop ads of all the negative things he said in the past about Trump. They also have not yet completed their cheating gerrymander programme so
It is just payment 1 of an ongoing protection racket - no doubt he learned it from Fred.
Not that it would make any difference - the current weasel in the position would just pause from kissing ass and do it immediately but we were all told that only Pelosi as Speaker of the House could deploy the NG into DC?? Why isn't anyone asking Leavitt or Trump that?
whilst they are frantically trying to redraw districts and gerrymander, they still need the base for the moment. Particularly if they finally reach the inevitable conclusion that Trump needs to be removed. Vance and co are not exactly leading the popularity stakes are they!! We'll see...
I know a lot of you seem to think it possible, and I could be wrong of course given Trump has now gone insane and dementia-ridden on top of everything he was and remains before, but... I just can't see it: too much wealth in oil, red state, MAGA would go nuts at the loss of a state and
Just in case UK feeds aren't popping up in feeds over the pond, this is worth a watch - www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8en...
err yes. That is exactly what it is. Distraction and overload newsfeeds in order to limit unfavourable news on jobs, prices, economy, Epstein files, Project 2025, The Qatari jet. I don't know why he bothers. Nobody in the WH press pool asks any proper questions or pushes back anymore
Please add the word "UNREDACTED" to your statements! :-)
err - that did not work out too well for them the other day - holding up a chart of saying it was terrific or some other banal word he usually uses and then, after a pause and without any explanation of a nothing chart just says "ok?" Good job handlers - try getting someone with a brain
I keep wondering the same thing, particularly after Miley's resignation speech about WHAT the military does and doesn't sign an oath to
Because they are worthless. This video shows some simply horrific scenes as well as the protests though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhWO...
well said
Yes, I presume the cost of admission to a congregation in the Evangelical church is your brain. The services are just presumably brainwashing indoctrination sessions, with moderated breakout sessions for the old porn monitoring app buddies like serpent Johnson
Visual depictions are always very powerful.
He was assessing whether he could build a penthouse on top, or if not, whether he could gild the whole roof in the style of the Kremlin.
Probably looking to see if he can build a penthouse on top. Seriously though, how is he allowed to change the WH - either the Rose Garden or this ridiculous ballroom? It is the Peoples' house and Presidents are in residence only temporarily.
In terms of doing something effective, apparently never.
It Needed To Be Said! 🖕🏼🖕🏽🖕🏾🖕🏿
saying he "never had the privilege" of going to the island was right up there too...
ah yes - one of Trump's more nauseating sentences...
Yes of course - Putin, Jong-Un, Orban, Rich Arabs signing deals with him for starters. Then of course he needs to prop up the disastrous administration so most of the idiots get a "they are doing a fantastic job" comment, usually whilst they are covering up for Trump.
week, judging by the rate of deterioration!
exactly this. We have no more journalists that attend WH pressers.
AND known human rights abusers kidnapping citizens off the streets and sending them to concentration camps abroad or in Florida.
not to mention an abuser of human rights!!
Can't wait to see what a monumentally incompetent clusterfuck they make of cobbling together some documents they present as genuine that doesn't look as if it was put together by a 5 year old using Notepad. Experts at the ready please for the inevitable amusement to come.
The rest of the world does! 🙂
Par for the course on Abbott - but just wait until Claudia Sheinbaum gets hold of this. She isn't afraid of any of them and certainly not the orange cockwomble.
only if it is to penguin island - we don't want that POS here.
@politicsintheuk.bsky.social I know there will be a whole bunch telling me I am naive and this is how diplomacy is done and we got a framework deal etc etc, all of which is both true and worthless at the same time BUT..How can we host a human rights abusing fascist sec offender for a state visit??
Now we just need to make him realise that he is being played by ALL the other world leaders and, in fact, nobody respects him at all.

I agree - I was referring to your previous comment that was about the base, not the media.
Because he knows it was staged/ enabled. USSS does NOT leave unguarded rooftops with clear line of sight that close to the podium of a principal. Ever. No protective detail does. Therefore either the guy was let in deliberately, and/or USSS were told to ignore all their usual protocols
critical thinking is not their primary strength.
Yep - that was my first thought - firstly their incompetence and laziness then secondly the obvious truth that they know their supporters will simply not care and they can explain away the report as fake news like always and the base will accept it without question.
I was just going to say exactly the same thing. "The families are the ones asking - are you saying they are bad and evil then?"
My reply was to the poster that said they didn't have a Birthright citizenship policy in the first place
@jaketapper.bsky.social You should try for some redemption pdq. You might escape but history, the world and the American people will remember and your kids and grandkids will be tarnished forever by your blatant lack of journalistic integrity.
But thanks to SCOTUS you can't get Trump and he will just pardon or kill the case on anyone else in the administration. Assuming (Big if) the midterms happen and we can take the house and Senate, doing a lot of impeachment, then not much is going to happen. I suggest starting with SCOTUS!
especially when they openly admitted initially that he had been wrongfully kidnapped and shipped to El Salvador because of an administrative error.
send them to western media not just US - at least it stands a chance of getting out there before it is squashed by the owner oligarchs
Not just Canadians either! I am half American and I'm not even willing to transfer through a US airport to go on holiday, I have also told my clients that under no circumstances will I attend onsite meetings in the US either.
As if this were a surprise to anyone - well apart from some Brits that disagreed with me when I wrote to the PM telling him he was an idiot if he thought Trump would follow anything he "agreed" longer than it suited him
I don't have accounts but please can we pepper-post this on X and any other social media the WH and cockwomble might frequent - again and again and again...
he has already gone after them at least once that I can remember - he lumped them in with all the rest of the MSM
Let me fix that for you: "I don't care how many of you fuckers it takes to get me in the clear right?"
Let us be crystal clear - none of these people know how to pray or have ever prayed - at least not in the sense of any decent christians around the world.
Whilst you are quite right, their policies vis a vis mixed races, paternal and maternal grandparents as well as parents etc to ascertain a "level" of "jewishness" effectively boil down to something very similar (well the original Nazi party laws did before the Wansee conference)
yes, they are identical with the country names pretty much the only thing that swaps out, along with less mention of fentanyl for some. I do not understand why NOBODY in the MSM has pointed this out and given the WH posts them, how they think countries receive them.
Boiler plate letters to boot, and as each gets plastered on WH social media, all other countries can read them and see they are at the end of a "mail merge" oh, and you forgot that interview when he said he has already done 200 deals... the media conveniently seem to forget that
Patently it DOESN'T work - so perhaps you start with the core reasons it broke and what can be done to fix it.
don't forget "two weeks" will you?!
...and why deficits exist and the fact they are not necessarily bad - and almost never involve that particular country treating the USA "unfairly" What an insufferable cockwomble
Finally, the lazy letters that don't change apart from the recipient at the top and "find and replace" for the country name: do you think he told the US oil companies yet he just hit Brunei (with such an unfair trade imbalance) with 25%? I predict the oil companies will go straight to him and TACO!
I have given up asking this. Also, why can't they explain to him what a trade deficit is and why they exist - and why they aren't necessarily a bad thing! Also, I would like a list of all these African countries charging the US "enormous tariffs". Just all the same bullshit
sadly after 9 years it is all too believable
but that would have been a lie - Trump cannot speak English, or certainly not above the level of a 5 year old.
why am I not seeing huge Dem outrage on this statement? Are they writing another strongly worded letter? Also where is the pushback from the media - I mean honestly, these days what is the point of their existence?
Is there NOBODY down in that administration that can explain to him how trade deficits happen and why they are not necessarily a bad thing, then of course follow up with an explanation of the simple fact these tariffs are paid for by American companies and consumers. ANYBODY??? Maybe Japan?
the India deal is still not done and the China one I would question hugely as he keeps flipping around with new tariff rules.
he also said he had already done over 200 deals (nobody told him how many countries exist). Then he said he has already done the 90 deals, which turned out to be letters and misses out about 100 countries if it is only 90. the UK deal is not a deal, it is a loose framework or MOU,
we are...
good one pager
...and I bet the media just sucked it up without a peep. Disgraceful. The thought of Trump "recognising" anything that wasn't a self enrichment opportunity is laughable
Busy writing his sequel: "How the Biden administration is responsible for all the failures since Trump took power but everything positive is all a credit to Trump only"
Ah, your mistake there was to walk through the field where they were picking the crops for Americans so they do not rot and shelves do not empty.
Aren't they also somehow finding the time to be international terrorists, having escaped their mental institutions along with Hannnibal Lecter, killing and assaulting Americans and worst of all, simply having the temerity to not be white in the USA?
Yes, but that was the Readers Digest abridged one page summary version and it still took him a year
who said communist state? Constitutional republics ARE a form of democracy. This is common knowledge and defined by scholars and experts of systems of Government. I'm done debating stupidity and ignorance. Go and educate yourself.
At lease we know you are not Gargamel - he was definitely all about imprisoning those pesky blue smurfs :-)
and if pressed, it would be a "very personal thing"
