He may find out that the benefits of producing everything in the country and reducing imports from other countries will be short term as the country goes bankrupt due to finding it harder to export American goods thus hobbling balance of trade. There will be more beneficial trade deals made between the other countries he has angered. The EU and UK will increase trade with China and all the former colonies ( the UK has a lot of commonwealth countries to work with) Of course everyones economies will suffer but in the longer run the US will suffer most. You can only sell so much inside your country to try to make up for the deficit in foreign trade to others . Trump is totally deluded if he thinks the US is self sufficient - the US economy has been bouyed up by Saudi and other rich arab countries for a long time. All those resources he tinks america has will dwindle rapidly without importation.

 

There have been two stormings of The Capitol since the J-6 assault.

There is little political hay to be made from them, so its not mentioned.

 

Trump 2.0 Heralds an Aggressive Flexing of Power

excerpt:

"Even as Mr. Musk’s team effectively dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development and targeted other agencies for the same, Mr. Trump was floating a breathtaking plan to assert U.S. ownership over Gaza and displace the entire population of two million Palestinians.

The Gaza plan came after Mr. Trump in recent weeks repeatedly expressed his desire to buy Greenland, seize the Panama Canal and make Canada “the 51st state,” ideas that were not aired on the campaign trail."

 

It appears Adams' visit to Mar-a-Lago after the 2024 election paid off for him.

Trump's DOJ seeks dismissal of federal corruption case against NY mayor Adams.

The judge overseeing the case will likely allow it to be dismissed.

What an America First diet might look like.


What an ‘America First’ Diet Would Really Look Like

excerpt:

"The problems with an America First food system wouldn’t just be about cost. It would lack diversity: There would be no tropical fruits such as mangoes and coconuts, and far fewer specialty varieties, such as Sumo Citrus and Meyer lemons, because domestic growers would have to focus on the basics. Given the current emphasis on meat, grains, and sweeteners, it would encourage a less healthy diet, too. Striving toward the “Make America healthy again” ideal pushed by RFK Jr. would be made more difficult with fewer choices and higher prices. As my colleague Nicholas Florko wrote recently, people buy food on the basis of taste, convenience, and cost. America could supply its entire population with a healthy diet, as Conrad’s research has shown, but not without totally blowing up its agricultural priorities."

 

Trump pardons Blagojevich.

He commuted his sentence in 2020.

Musk was given the keys to the U.S. government for about $280 million.


Trump 2nd term live updates: Fort Liberty renamed as Fort Bragg, Hegseth says

excerpt:

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen also went after Musk in his comments, in addition to slamming Trump for giving him the "keys" to the U.S. government.

"This is the most corrupt bargain in American history. Elon Musk spent over $280 million to elect Donald Trump, and Donald Trump has given Elon Musk the keys to the United States government. Are we going to let that stand?" Van Hollen asked the crowd that responded “No!”

 

Sen. Collins said she will vote to confirm RFK Jr.

She feels better now that RFK Jr. said he would re-examine cuts to NIH.


Trump 2nd term live updates: Fort Liberty renamed as Fort Bragg, Hegseth says

excerpt:

"Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said Monday afternoon that she will support Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. -- whose full Senate confirmation could come as soon as mid-week -- after her conversation with him earlier in the day over funding cuts to the National Institutes of Health."

 

Collins has conformed to Trump in the past by voting for his programs in return for promises that Congress will consider her concerns.

She voted for Trump's corporate tax cut during his first term after being promised that her concerns over healthcare would be addressed months after her vote for Trump.

The can is kicked down the road and promises are given to address legitimate concerns in return for a vote now to support Trump. The few members of Congress who seem like they might have some rational thinking still in them end up giving in to the agenda.

 

Tulsi Gabbard also cleared hurdles for confirmation.

It looks like Trump will have all of his top-post nominees confirmed except Gaetz who dropped out.

 

Trump's buyout plan for Palestinians would make them ineligible to return to Gaza.

Trump Claims The Jan. 6 Cop-Assaulters He Pardoned Were The Ones Assaulted

'We haven't seen anything quite like Musk.' Here's what's behind his government blitz.

excerpt:

DOGE employees have fanned out across government agencies, taking control of OPM and the General Services Administration, agencies that handle human resources, property management and other government services. Some are young staffers in their early 20s and one is 19, according to media reports. DOGE staff have clashed with senior federal employees, according to reports.

“I’m very proud of the job that this group of young people, generally young people but very smart people, they’re doing," Trump said of DOGE Friday. "They’re doing it at my insistence."

'We haven't seen anything quite like Musk.' Here's what's behind his government blitz.

excerpt:

"The tech titan turned government cost cutter has emerged as the central player other than President Donald Trump in his three-week-old presidency, igniting debate with a blitz of moves at federal agencies.

Musk’s style is more reminiscent of a hostile corporate takeover than typical government reform, experts say. He is acting with speed, wielding a level of power rarely, if ever, seen in presidential aides and taking a more radical approach than powerful government figures in the past, moving to dismantle whole agencies approved by Congress.

“We haven’t seen anything quite like Musk,” said presidential historian Lindsay Chervinsky."
