This could have gone into so many different threads, but I'll leave it here.

Upon looking at the World Map, it dawned on me, in a "aha!" moment, why Trump is so obsessed with annexing Canada and acquiring Greenland.
It's now clear and obvious that Trump has an inferiority complex when it comes to Putin/Russia. He looks at the world map and sees how small the US
is compared to Russia's massive territory. He figures if he can take Canada and Greenland, the US would then surpass Russia in terms of total land mass,
22 million square kilometers vs. 17.1 million square kilometers for Russia.

As we all know, when it comes to Trump, his every motivation is centered around feeding and protecting his fragile ego.

This one speaks for itself

Let's see if other countries have the balls to call it like it is.

So how ya'll feeling about "Liberation Day"?

As the wipeout and for-profit-imprisonment of migrants goes forward, the states have to come up with solutions for the now missing workforce.

Florida has a great plan:

Florida debates lifting some child labor laws to fill jobs vacated by undocumented immigrants

​

New York CNN —

Florida has been working for years to crack down on employers that hire undocumented immigrants. But that presented a problem for businesses in the state that are desperate for workers to fill low-wage and often undesirable jobs.


Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state legislature have a potential solution: children.


The state’s legislature on Tuesday advanced a bill that would loosen child labor laws, allowing children as young as 14 years old to work overnight shifts. If the new law is passed, teenagers would be able to work overnight jobs on school days. They are currently prevented from working earlier than 6:30 am or later than 11 pm per state law.


The bill passed through the Florida Senate’s Commerce and Tourism committee on Tuesday with five votes in favor of the loosened child labor restrictions and four against them. The bill will pass through two other relevant committees before being put to a vote with the full Florida Senate.

Leave it to the Governor DeSantimonius. He's brilliant. *I'm being sarcastic here* ...

That happened during the Industrial Revolution (late 1800s to early 1900s) especially in Western Pennsylvania. The child workers - starting from age 10 through 16 - all got Black Lung disease from coal and coke mining and as a result got ill and died. Hundreds of them.

Here's every country facing reciprocal tariffs announced by Trump on 'Liberation Day'
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/here...ced-by-trump-on-liberation-day-231329935.html

And yes, that list includes:

The White House's announcement also said the Heard and McDonald Islands, uninhabited territories held by Australia, will be subject to a 10% tariff.

Even Hitler didn't try to take on the entire world at once.

He must want to start his empire with his favorite franchise on McDonald Island ....

Making Hamburgers Great Again

+ penguins and walruses + on Heard Island ...

to match his full day of cartoon viewing.

+ penguins and walruses + on Heard Island ...

Those penguins walk around all day in their fancy suits, all paid by the US. And don't get me started on those fat walruses sitting around all day thanks to US "subsidies".

It's time they paid up.

Trump's plan of imposing "reciprocal tariffs" on trading partners is a facade.
Applying a made-up mathematical formula, tariff rates assigned to targeted countries were manufactured for convenience.
Using these fake rates to justify his actions, Trump wants to use tariffs to eliminate trading deficits with other nations,
which he sees as a losing proposition, i.e., countries taking advantage of the US.

By using tariffs as a weapon, Trump [foolishly and unrealistically] wants to turn back the clock (calendar) to around 1970 when the US was a
manufacturing juggernaut. Trump's idiotic idea will likely go down as one of the most disastrous policy blunders in US history.

Utterly Tariffying...
Because Trump falsely equates a trading deficit to unfair trade, he has essentially declared economic war on all of our trading partners!
Virtually the entire world now is against the United States. This nationalistic [MAGA] movement is stupidity on steroids.

Looking at the stock market, it looks and feels like the sinking Titanic.
The damage done to the country by Trump 2.0 will be severe and long lasting!
He has stained the American brand abroad for perhaps a generation which will seriously hurt America's tourism industry.

Hopefully, the Republican Party will learn its lesson and never ever again nominate a felonious, moronic, narcissistic, petulant, immature,
uncivilized egomaniac for President of the United States.

If it happened, what would be wrong with that? Seeing and experiencing the devastating impact of the steel industry’s demise in late 70s Pittsburgh was not fun. Returning to the suburban steel towns today shows the impact from long-term neglect.

The impact of Trump’s delusional policies on our 401(k)’s will set the stage for 2026. He was elected to manage the economy positively. Since being inaugurated, he has sent it on a downward spiral. Hiring was stronger than expected, yet the market is entering ‘bear territory.’

My concern is the Republicans will find someone even worse than Trump.

 

[wmonbear]

Without justification, the wealthiest country on the planet has declared economic war on the rest of the world.
This classless, blatant act of pure greed [by Trump] will unfortunately come back to bite the US in a major way.
Though hard to believe, at this point, Trump 2.0 is making the Biden Presidency look like the Golden Age.

104% US tariffs on China

Not much more you need to say for today's news.

I am by no means a fan of Xi, but it's actually satisfying to see someone stand up to the oaf.

After nearly three months in office, Trump has caused the DJIA to decline by 9.9%. He is giving Hoover a run for his money.

 

[wmonbear]

Trump caught lying (again)...
this time with a pathetic attempt to misinform public about immigrant who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
In a sad attempt, Trump is seen blatantly lying to the American people, showing an obviously doctored photo as "evidence" of the man's gang affiliation.
It's so amateurish and obviously fake, it looks like he did it himself.

This ought to be a big deal. The public should be outraged and insulted. He should be directly confronted on this. But instead, he gets a pass, cause he's Trump.
