Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s Second Presidency

Court temporarily blocks Trump order on birthright citizenship​

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5102977-trump-birthright-citizenship-blocked/

I think an important takeaway here is that a single federal court judge blocked an executive order.
In other words, Executive orders are not absolute, and can be blocked before implementation, even by a single person.

I'd love to have seen tump's face when he was given that reality check.
He basically reminded everyone that anything he orders can be challenged by anyone.

It was a glorified press release. Any competent attorney would have counseled him that it was a non-starter. The judge (a Reagan appointee) excoriated the EO: "This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.”

Trump blames DEI for mid-air collision in D.C. without any evidence
https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6628980
Following last night's mid-air collision, U.S. President Donald Trump pointed the finger at his predecessors, without any evidence, for loosening air traffic control standards.
The video does it better, but basically the headline. He's saying DEI hires are responsible for the crash.

Seriously??

It is classic Trump. I continue with my doubts about his cognitive abilities. He is just signing papers placed in front of him.

Why did we rehire him? He was getting some goodwill between the election and inauguration, but he pissed it away within 10 days. Only 4 more years.

Here is a good example of why Trump wants to defund NPR: they call out his lies. People with disabilities must be qualified for the job they are performing.

There is something deliciously ironic about tump complaining about people who are intellectually incompetent being hired for jobs they are not qualified for.

Fantasy: Donald Trump promises during his rallies, prices for food and household goods are high because of the Biden Administration. "Yes, everything that crooked Joe touches turns to crap." His words not mine. "They will drop when I'm elected."

[Before the election, the price of eggs was at a low $2.79 a dozen. Eggsland's Best, on the date of the election, were a bit more pricey but they always are. They were $4.79 a dozen.]

Reality: Nice to know that you can now go to the local grocery store. The price of eggs is now $9 or $10 a dozen. Soon to be in the $13 to $14 price range. A bunch of four bananas and two avocados which cost $1.09 and $1.98 respectively now will soon cost $4 and $8 because of the tariffs that the Trump Administration has imposed on Mexico.

Yes, "let's make 'merica great again." said the Fool in the WH.

Are we saying that Tump is retarded or he's just a bit S-L-O-W? Yes, I gotta love it. :)

I would say neither, but slow is closer to the truth. He is a useful fool being used by Project 2025 (which he mysteriously says he does not know) and the Oligarchy (i.e., Musk, Bezos, et al.).
 
Trump imposes new tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China in new phase of trade war
https://www.npr.org/2025/02/01/g-s1-46010/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-and-china-imports
Trump signed executive orders Saturday, imposing 25% taxes on most imports from two of the country's biggest trading partners: Canada and Mexico. Goods from China will be charged a 10% tax.

And in typical bully fashion, he says that if Canada retaliates, he will raise them:
https://globalnews.ca/news/10992959/donald-trump-tariffs-canada-feb-1/
The executive order also has a clause meant to deter Canada from retaliating.
“Should Canada retaliate against the United States in response to this action through import duties on United States exports to Canada or similar measures, the President may increase or expand in scope the duties imposed under this order to ensure the efficacy of this action,” the order read.

Let's see how long this lasts when Americans complain about American price hikes because of these tariffs.

Let us start the new presidency since Trump completed his comback.

What will the next four years bring us? How long will RFK Jr and Elon Musk remain in Trump’s orbit?

Let us start the journey of chaos and madness.
You are overexagerating a bit too much I think.
Do you still believe I was 'overexagerating'? How are your US relatives feeling about the reductions in their living costs?

Also, did Donald Trump publish Project 2025 or was it The Heritage Foundation?
Trump seems quite familiar with it despite pleading ignorance of it while campaigning.

Ah! To be a billionaire in the USA today!
You need to be in order to buy eggs in the USA.

Trump cut the price of eggs so much that Waffle House needs to put a 50 cent surcharge on each one just to make money. 😆 Just kidding, the price of eggs is soaring so much the surcharge is needed for Waffle House to avoid losing money. Eggs are now selling at all time high.

In 2022, Canada exported $62.6M in Eggs. The main destinations of Canada exports on Eggs were United States ($43.8M),..
Think he still wants to tariff everything from Canada? We've got all the cheap, affordable, delicious eggs you need right here :)

Elon Musk's access to Treasury's payment system is raising alarms. Here's what to know.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/musk-treasury-social-security-access-federal-payment-system-trump/

With Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) gaining control of the Treasury Department's payment system, consumer advocates and Democratic lawmakers are raising alarms about the group's access to the federal government's financial spigot, as well as sensitive data such as the Social Security numbers of most taxpayers.

Mr. Nazi salute having access like that? What could possibly go wrong?

And the irony is that the one group that would be safe from this is the undocumented.

Who thought it was Musk being elected? Imagine the Republican outrage if George Soros was given the rights Musk has been granted.

Trump caved on the Mexican tariffs by agreeing to stop the export of American guns into Mexico. Oh great, the one thing we need more of is guns on our streets and in our homes.

He's backtracked on the Canadian threat too.

This is his MO:

1) Make an asinine threat
2) Backtrack on the threat at the last second when the other party negotiates with him / he realizes how dumb a move it is
3) Claim victory by saying he "made a deal"

Are we remembering why we kicked Trump out in 2020? Trump got elected in 2024 to ‘fix’ an economy which was humming along. It has taken him less than 30 days to change the tide.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-consumer-sentiment-drops-seven-150000004.html

Consumer confidence is declining; prices are rising: chaos reigns supreme; and hundreds have been deported (I thought it was going to be in the millions by now).

At least he is tackling the real problem: not enough plastic straws in the environment.
