What has Trump done now?

[rgmwa]

Trump already knows exactly what Kevin thinks of him, and the unfortunate reality is that both Kevin and Albo have to deal with him in looking after Australia’s interests.

No they wouldn't (privately). Trump is just dictating terms of the worlds largest economy (soon to be overtaken) & supplier of most of our defence equipment & just wants our rare earth minerals so we are selling some to him at a better price than we would have got before.

It'll be good if he gets a third term, so he can keep restoring the United States to make it great again without the extreme influence of the far-left and the likes of George Soros.

Why am I suddenly reminded of that old saying "It's better to keep your mouth shut and look like an idiot, than to open it and remove all doubt"?

[old man emu]

It is a fact, and one that it should be possible to obtain documentary proof thereof, that the German military in the time of Hitler were required to swear loyalty to Hitler rather than to Germany. Trump is demanding the same thing of the US Civil Service.

 

But why are you amazed about Trump's gutting of the Civil Service? He openly stated it in his election speeches.

[Marty_d]

Yep. And I remember saying before the election that, despite his denials, "project 25" was what he would push on the US.

He's a scumbag, a liar, a greedy freeloading criminal rapist fraudster, a vindictive and small-minded bigot of the worst type.

Every voter in the US either knew these facts or was living under a rock, but they still elected him.

GON. 

There is no way to bring back the good ole daze of USA.

 

It's too late.

 

Besides, neither TRump nor maga, nor the republicans can suddenly make USA productive.

Their culture is not going to allow it.

TRump is simply fast tracking their fade away from the global stage.

What are the good old days anyway? Segregation, the McCarthy Reds under the beds era, lynchings, Vietnam, WW2 or that golden age when you could beat your wife and children?

This says it all....

 

Trump has nil concern for anyone outside his close circle of family and devout followers.

I would add, the good ole daze of low paid factory workers, protectionism that favoured the mega rich factory/railroad/oil families.

 

Why did so many go to war ? 

Because it was a chance to get a regular income. After all USA was not risking its territory, it was only making money from selling arms.

Post WW2 was their golden era but the eventual goal of free capitalism is always to demolish free enterprise, remove competition, and replace it with megarich monopolies.

 

All done now.

 

But no room for self sufficiency of the country, so long as the oligarcs can reside in their own entitled bubble.

 Yeah, Wolfie will do that. I am sure you resisted

[octave]

When you say "wolfie is in you" you don't mean like this, do you?
