Geez, you've really been sucking on the Trump Kool-aid bottle, haven't you? What do you think is going to be the next thing to happen? A long-lasting peace plan engineered by Trump, where the Iranians lay down all their arms, and come meekly to the surrender table to sign the surrender document?

 

You're off with the fairies, along with the Tangerine Toddler. He's so full of sh**, it's a wonder they haven't called the portaloo collectors to come and collect him.

So, since Trump is saving the world from the spread of mass killings and nuclear weapons, when can we expect him to make Israel give up their nuclear weapons?

The above was rhetorical.

 

Back to What has Trump done?

 

My big concern is 'What happens next'?

 

Whilst the world focused on 'What has Trump done now', in the background project 2025 has been steadily progressing. What does that mean?

 

Soon, when Trump is gone, how will the US administration proceed, now the old checks and balances are gone?

 

I really have no idea, but from my limited knowledge, I cannot see a silver lining to the cloud of doubt.

There is so much that Tump's Administration has done that cannot be undone. Take income from tariffs for example. Importers have paid the tariffs and passed those costs onto the wholesalers in the form of higher prices. The wholesalers have passed them on to the retailers, who passed them on to the consumer. How does the consumer recover the money that tariffs added to, say, the meat from Australia in his Macdonald beef pattie? Impossible. The US Treasury has had a massive injection of money that is impossible to return to its rightful owners.

 

Notice that not much has been said about all the social service things like Medicaid and food stamps. The Trump Administration keeps creating situations which get media attention while earlier issues are ignored. 

 

I hear that teh UAE has stopped the USA using its military bases for the conflictr with Iran. Guess that's the end of the Golden 747.

Trump already has that in his Library. Too Late.  Nev

All UAE has to do is wait for the right time to activate the self destruct system they left in the aircraft.

Looks like DJT is really going to visit Xi in China.

I didn't think he would go.

But he is taking his closest beneficiaries with him....

 

Donald Trump is accompanied by a notable delegation of top US executives during his trip to China. This includes

Prominent CEOs:-

 

Name  Company

Tim    CookApple

Elon    MuskTesla

Kelly Ortberg  Boeing

Jane Fraser  Citigroup

Others:

Executives from Cisco, Meta, Micron, Qualcomm, Mastercard, Visa

 

Impressive lobby list? Maybe don won't get a word in edgewise.

Impressive from a US perspective but China is way ahead in many technologies now and is creating its own chips. Most Qualcom chips are manufactured in Taiwan now. Most Apple phones are made in China, Teslas that are exported around the world are made in China. I don't know about the others but I reckon Boeing is sourcing parts from China. I wonder id the financial services lot (Citigroup, Mastercard, Visa) are exploring investment from China?
