Re: The Donald Trump thread

Name the people on the Trump and Putin teams who cosied up and describe what they did exactly.

Here you go.

My assumption based on all the mood music is that this is just the tip of the iceberg, and that many parts of the MAGA Deep Swamp were at it!

I think the source documents would be more helpful than CNN who played a part in the original hoax.

Job growth in the USA slowing much faster than expected.

Trump's solution - to fire the top federal statistician!

Did you see the story about Trump planning to build a ballroom in the White House at a cost of $200 million? The.Americans would never have fought a War Of Independence 250 years ago if the founding fathers had the same attitudes back then as their President has today - there would have been no point.

Is that the ballroom he's going to pay for himself as a gift to the nation? What a rotter!

Well, the CNN article is from 2018, and all the classified documents relating to the hoax are now being released. How else was I going to respond?

So that any old Joe can book it free for a family function? Yes that indeed would be a worthy gesture.

It is quite a talent to concurrently argue that the job growth figures are shit and the economy is booming whilst trying to remove the Head of the Fed because he is trying to take the inflationary heat out of the economy.

Mainly due to the uncertainty of the impact of Trump's tariffs, which seem to change in scale and timing by the hour.

Still, if uncertainty helps speculation and you are concurrenly dissing erstwhile MAGA loyal Republicans like Hawley because they are pushing back against current Presidents and others indulging in market trading whilst in office, what's the harm, yeah?

Let's get this right, according to the White House the ballroom will be paid for by Trump and "other donors" - first time I've heard the US taxpayer described like that.
