Really!? Where does he think this "revenue" is going to come from? It's going to come from the tariffs fees ultimately being imposed on and paid by American importers and exporters who will likely be passing the costs of doing business upon the american consumer. In other words, it's a real redistribution of american business profits into government coffers... I wonder if Rich Davis, who constantly complains about democratic "marxists", gets that?...

They didn't lose money.  

Do you want to know how they did under Obama, when Obama Selectively gave $26 Billion of TAXPAYER Money directly to GM and Chrysler?  

Were you pissed about that, being that it cost YOU directly out of your wallet, since you paid taxes then?  

Oh yes, Obama GAVE GM and Chrysler EVERYONE's money, because he played favorites.

I'm sure that YOU were thrilled about that, eh?   

They lost back then and Ford, who didn't take the Obama bailout provided by the Taxpayers.  Ford made More then compared to GM and they didn't get FREE money from You.  Are you pissed about that, as you claim the shareholders at GM must be?

I don't even have to put words in your mouth to make you appear what your intellect shows. You do that all by yourself.

First of all, inflation isn’t even real in the metaphysical sense. It’s just a psychological projection caused by the Federal Reserve’s refusal to switch from analog to digital interest rates. That’s basic econ 304. You wouldn’t understand.

Second, Trump didn’t have inflation because he outsourced the GDP to Switzerland during the fiscal equinox. That’s why the Dow Jones was in retrograde — it’s all in the economic horoscopes if you care to look.

And tariffs? Tariffs are just reverse subsidies that loop through the supply chain until they become deductible tax silhouettes. That’s how Reagan fixed the deficit with napkins in '84 — look it up.

Also, you keep quoting numbers like “9%” as if that’s bad. But 9 is literally the highest single-digit number, so technically, it’s efficient. That’s math.

In conclusion, your argument collapses under the weight of its own fiscal mitochondria. Checkmate."

"The conditions around Friday’s summit so wildly favor Moscow, it is obvious why Putin leapt at the chance, after months of fake negotiation, and it is hard to see how a deal emerges from the bilateral that does not eviscerate Ukraine. Kyiv and its European allies have reacted with understandable horror at the early ideas of Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, that Ukraine cede the remainders of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in exchange for a ceasefire."


"Europe is also wary of mirroring the failure of former UK Foreign Secretary Neville Chamberlain to stand up to Nazi Germany in 1938 – of the worthlessness of a “piece of paper” signed by a Kremlin that has repeatedly agreed to deals in Ukraine and then simply used the pause to regroup before invading again."

"Much could go right. But the stage is set for something more sinister. Consider Putin’s mindset for a moment. The third Trump threat of sanctions has evaporated, and his forces are moving into a period of strategic gain on the frontlines. He’s got his first invitation to the US in a decade to talk peace about Ukraine without Ukraine, discussing a deal where he doesn’t even have to fight to get some of the rest of the land he wants. And this is before the former KGB spy gets to work his apparent magic on Trump."

One has to wonder, given Trump's ignorance of history, if he's ever heard of the risks inherent with the concept of, "appeasement"...

Oh I understand that.  I realize that you aren't capable of analyzing data or giving any opinion or thought that isn't simply rote recitation or regurgitation. 

My goal was to inform you, but then you have proven over the years that you are not interested in becoming informed or educated on any subjects, but rather prefer repetition like a parrot, what is given to you to ingest by the idiots over at MSNB Hee Haw, which you so often do.

I wouldn't expect to have any sort of reasoned discussion with you (because I never would be able to, due to your limited intellect), as that would be like me trying to impute information to a brain that is pretty much mush.  

Just as I informed you of some facts, one being that back when Barack Obama bailed out GM at the cost of $26 Billion taxpayer dollars, you never said a word.  Yet, you're here to try to excite all of your leftist friends that some investors took a downturn for a moment, because GM stock dropped a bit.  

For a leftist ideologue like yourself, I can actually understand that hearing about the slightly bad news for the GM investors, with whom you were apparently comisierating, you are so ignorant as to have ignored the loss for ALL taxpayers, including yourself at the time that Barack Obama bailed GM out with taxpayer $26,000 MILLION in their bank accounts.

I guess I can simply chalk it up to your obliviousness to everything going on around you, that you didn't make a fuss about that fiscal issue that Barack Obama saddled the entire US populace with, and yet you feel SO bad for all those stock investors who go into their purchases with open eyes. Nobody put a gun to their heads and told them they had to buy GM stock, but yet Barack Obama gave the entire country NO CHOICE when he bailed out GM at Taxpayer expense.

Coming from you??   I'm certainly not surprised in the least.  
 
Thanks for the response anyway,

"According to Trump, Alaska is in Russia. His dementia and cognitive decline are on full display," wrote a social media user on X."

"Another X user wrote, "With his DEMENTIA on full display, Trump announces HE'S GOING TO Russia! Pam Bondi and Pete Hegseth are so accustomed to him LYING, THEY DON'T EVEN BLINK! THAT'S how he gets away with LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE."

So Trump's going to Russia on Friday. Rich Davis believes that, too.
