Don't forget Trump saying "cost of living" for Americans will come down on DAY 1...it did not and then one month later because of his actions with Tariffs... Trump changed tune by saying because of his actions that Americans will need to suffer (a framed it as "little disturbances") a little before cost of living can come down...something America already knew about his love for Tariffs as a hopeful solver for America's ills. I know a lot of people who voted for Trump because they believed his LIES while they already knew he was a liar...a creator of more lies than any other U.S. President in America's history. I don't blame Trump for his entire behavior. I do blame it on America and Trump's ability to tap into America's ills like some false prophet of a cult in desperate need for someone to cure their mass mental illness. Luck for some of us...we're not impacted by Trump's/Musk's bullshit. Yet, there's a silver lining in all of this...Europe has now become Make Europe Great Again and they're on the verge of telling Trump do not let the door hit your ass on the way out as you isolate yourself from NATO, WHO, European Union, Mexico, Canada, and Indo-Pacific partners. Countries are now having rallies to not buy American products regardless of Trump's escalating Tariff War talk. Tesla is a perfect example...sales down -76% in Germany and down double digits in the rest of Europe along with being down in other countries... Regardless, if its because of Musk's bullshit or Trump's bullshit. wrbtrader
Lumber... #1 "Canada, we don't need your stinkin' lumber, we have our own." #2 Lift restrictions on protected forests.
Even immigration he could have made strides in being first president to take some real action but after a bunch of made for tv raids, he is now just stumbling all over with ad hoc moves and spending millions to arrange flights and spread people everywhere rather than kick congress in the ass to come to an agreement. Same with government waste.... it was so simple to say he is putting a mandate that every agency is being audited to cut programming and spending and spend 18 months surgically cutting all the spending and bloated staffs.... but no... not trump... He brings in a dickless Rainman to swing chainsaws and just kill agencies left and right and not even focus on keeping hte good parts. The Canal issue is just a new level of stupidity in America....I cannot even talk to some friends of mine who repeat what trump said and then stutter like a bad Biden impersonator when I google something in 5 seconds in their faces. and now we have a fucking lawyer telling parents to give their kids Vitamin A to fight measles.... I hope God forbid if your child is dying you do not call your lawyer for advice but go to the hospital...
I got to admit when I see an elCubano post and look quickly I am like "when did I post that..." as his name looks similar...
Canada planning to end free access to Alaska, tolls coming. Trump did nazi this coming. https://alaskabeacon.com/2025/03/06...e-will-impose-tolls-on-alaska-bound-commerce/ British Columbia Premier David Eby said Thursday that he intends to introduce legislation that would place tolls on commercial trucks traveling from the Lower 48 to Alaska via his province. Speaking at the Legislative Assembly building in Victoria, Eby said the move is one of several that he is taking in response to President Donald Trump’s erratic Canadian tariff plans. “I’m here to share that we will be introducing a new law in the coming days to respond to this historic challenge: unprecedented legislation. It will include such countermeasures as allowing the province to apply fees to commercial trucks that transit through British Columbia on their way to Alaska,” Eby said. Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy said he hopes British Columbia will reconsider. “My hope is that the federal governments between our two great countries work out solutions to the tariff issues, and provincial and state governments refrain from making unilateral decisions that may have negative consequences that negatively impact discussions at the federal level as they find solutions,” he said by email Thursday afternoon. Alaska state Sen. Robert Myers, R-North Pole, is a commercial trucker when he’s not representing his district in the state Capitol. “It’s going to be a big deal for two things,” he said of the BC tolls. “Fresh produce — the vast majority of our fresh produce … for most of Alaska gets trucked up. The other major issue that I could see is with the oil industry. If you want to get something up here fast, you put it on a truck, not a barge.”
I tend to think that he really is using this to sell tariff indulgences to companies, which he did in his first admin. Small timer mind fraud but on a big scale, Trump's signature.
