    They will all follow him to the bitter end. Cheat-o Jesus. There's a guy next neighborhood over, still has a ton of Trump shit all over his front yard. Those people are crazy - cameras and shit to make sure they don't get vandalized - the HOA says no political signs after election day, but likely nobody cares to challenge him on it.

    The shower heads are FLOW limited, not pressure limited, genius. The whole idea was to reduce energy used in heating water - and to conserve water and reduce the load on water treatment plants. Speaking of loads, he probably wants toilets to go back to the ol' 3 gallon flush since he's so full of shit.

    Trump is fortunate Biden left him the cushion of a good economy.

    Trump's tariff wars would be more difficult to do in the midst of a recession or great recession.

    excerpt:

    "What’s happening is not good. Now will it continue?" Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said in a typical comment. "I think it is a mistake to assume that we will have high tariffs in perpetuity," said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex. One would think they're talking about the weather, rather than a deliberate choice by Trump. Billionaire Elon Musk is trying a slightly different tactic of blaming Trump advisor Peter Navarro, rather than Trump himself. What ties all this together is a fear of criticizing Trump directly, and instead hoping that all this gentle hand-holding and blame-shifting will give their leader the space he needs to stop the madness.

    excerpt:

    “They are dying to make a deal. 'Please, please sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything sir,'” he claimed, in a moment quite reminiscent of how late-stage cult leaders experience a total collapse between reality and their grandiose fantasies. "BE COOL!" he barked on Truth Social Wednesday, promising, "Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!" Then there's this confusing and chaotic "pause." It all feels like the final stage of a cult, when the leader's frantic efforts to retain control result in escalating dictates and prophecies that become increasingly hard for followers to make sense of.

    Trump's latest 'meltdown' has hints of 'last day of Waco' decline: analyst

    excerpt:

    "Trump has a messiah complex, which has only grown since that missed assassin's bullet from July was hyped by his followers into 'proof' that he's the Chosen One," she wrote before suggesting, "Even as he blinks momentarily on his tariff mania, his behavior is getting even more erratic in a way that's got 'last days of Waco' vibes from a president who has already unsubtly compared himself to David Koresh. His Truth Social meltdown when announcing the 'pause' indicates a decline in Trump's already-fragile mental state."

    China threatens to unleash $1.9 trillion 'tsunami' on the world in drawn-out tariff warfare with the U.S. | Daily Mail Online

    excerpt:

    "China is preparing for a 'prolonged economic warfare' with Donald Trump after the president added additional tariffs on Beijing, while announcing a pause for other trading partners.

    The Communist nation has spent years fostering a strategy that transitioned from building housing to $1.9trillion constructing factories to make cheap goods for export, seeing them rise 13 percent and 17 percent in 2023 and 2024.

    Now, Chinese companies who had previously responded to Trump's tariffs by offering discounts to longtime U.S. clients are willing to forego the American market entirely as they attempt to find new buyers."

    Trump's aide who dialed the number must gotten hell for that mistake.

    Sounds like a dumb move Giuliani was known for doing.


    H.R. McMaster receives accidental call from President Trump

    excerpt:

    "It was then that McMaster knew this familiar voice was indeed Mr. Trump. But he also realized something else: the commander-in-chief had not intended to call him at all.

    McMaster goes by H.R., short for Herbert Raymond. Not Henry.

    "Mr. President, this is H.R. McMaster," he said into the phone.

    "Why the f*** would I talk" to H.R. McMaster? Trump asked dismissively, and then Trump launched into a scathing critique of his former aide, two sources said.

    The call was brief."

    https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/business/trump-stocks-bond-market-nightcap/index.html

    excerpt:

    "And it was all thanks to Trump — the guy whose extreme agenda (and contradictory messaging around it) became a noose around the neck of global financial markets that were about to enter a doom spiral.

    Wall Street’s reaction to his reversal on tariffs is not a victory lap for investors — it’s a gasp for oxygen. Asset prices remain well below where they were a week ago, before Trump announced the tariffs.

    The past week cost US stocks $6 trillion in value as market participants prepared for a wildly uncertain future, all while knowing the president is prone to pulling the rug out from under their feet.

    Trump is clearly loving the sea of green on the TV stock ticker. But it’s going to take a lot more than one day of stock gains to undo the damage — to the economy and to America’s reputation — that his policies have done."

    The art of stupidity.


    Trump trade advisor says stock market plunge 'No big deal': Live updates

    excerpt:

    Gotteheimer, during an interview with MSNBC's Ana Cabrera, scoffed at a claim by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that Trump's decision Wednesday to pause stiffer tariffs on many countries above a 10% baseline was part of a plan, despite days of denying there would be such a pause.

    "I don't really understand their strategy because every day is a new day of chaos," said Gottheimer, D-N.Y. "I think it's the art of stupidity."

    Trump said he had to back down on his reciprocal tariffs because people were becoming too yippy and nervous.

    In general, it's anyone who is perceived by the elite group as being an outsider.

    First They Came - Wikipedia

    excerpt:

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    Trump sent Garcia to a terrorist work prison in El Salvador when Garcia legally had protection status in the U.S.

    Now Trump says he doesn't want him back in the U.S. because he doesn't have a right to be in the U.S.

    Trump's own administration admitted Garcia was sent to El Salvador by a mistake it made.

    This time Trump thinks he won the 'war on showers'.

    Previously he claimed he won the 'war on water' by his senseless opening of dams in California and squandering billions of gallons of water that farmers needed for summer crops.

    He pulled that publicity stunt after the wildfires had already been extinguished. It wouldn't have helped extingsuish the fires anyway.

    As his supporters like to say, Trump is ten steps ahead of everyone

    Musk is using another tactic.


    Social Security lists thousands of living immigrants as dead to prompt them to leave, AP sources say

    excerpt:

    "WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has moved to classify more than 6,000 living immigrants as dead, canceling their Social Security numbers and effectively wiping out their ability to work or receive benefits in an effort to get them to leave the country, according to two people familiar with the situation.

    The move will make it much harder for those affected to use banks or other basic services where Social Security numbers are required. It’s part of a broader effort by President Donald Trump to crack down on immigrants who were allowed to enter and remain temporarily in the United States under programs instituted by his predecessor, Joe Biden."
