T 2.0

I am going to go totally off brand and offer a theory that absolves Trump of the current state of America under his administration. I think we have a Weekend at Bernie’s situation going on in the White House. That interview with ABC was damning.

Donald Trump isn’t running the country. He’s being wheeled around like a bloated prop, a sagging orange husk made to dance on command like an undead circus bear for what’s left of the base — part nostalgia act, part cult relic, all rot.

What we’re seeing isn’t leadership. It’s a reanimation ritual and the pale, serpentine ghoul casting the spell is none other than Stephen “Gargamel” Miller, America’s most punchable necromancer.

Trump slurs through speeches like he’s gargling grave dirt. He babbles about the Declaration of Independence being a unifying love letter, cant’t explain the Monroe Doctrine beyond “it was a doctrine that came from Monroe”, and insists a clearly photoshopped image of Abrego Garcia’s hands with MS-13 in Times New Roman font is a smoking gun worthy of ending due process. The man is gone. The lights have gone out. There’s nothing left behind his haunted eyes save Adderall fumes and Hannity reruns.

And yet, he lumbers on, taxidermied circus bear that he is, lacquered in orange bronzer and stuffed with Big Mac grease. His only purpose is to waltz for the crowd while his ghoulish wizard adviser yanks his rigor mortised tendons to animate him from backstage. Miller doesn’t care that the old man is mentally decomposing. That’s the point. A confused and vacant figurehead is easier to manipulate into signing off on whatever racist, Nazi-esque blueprint the American Goebbels is perpetrating.

This is Miller’s wet dream.

He’s not advising Trump — he’s possessing him. Every lie that Trump croaks, every grotesque culture war stunt, every fascistic fever dream about rounding up immigrants or dismantling our rights — it’s Miller’s handwriting etched on the inside of Trump’s skull.

Stephen Miller doesn’t need a sharp mind to question his blueprint for carrying out his own personal holocaust on brown people. He needs a pliable corpse with the official authority he lacks as a petty, sneaky, ill intentioned bureaucrat. Trump is the perfect meat puppet. He’s too dim, too desperate and too embalmed in grievance to question the dark script Stephen Miller is reciting. He’ll jerk and twitch on command, croaking the same refrains of “Beautiful Tarrifs” and “Biden, Biden, Biden” on command while the real monster whispers through the cracks.

That ABC interview proved this is no longer an administration. It’s Weekend at Donnie’s with Stephen Miller cackling from the shadows, narrowing his beady little eyes on what’s left of our civil rights.

You are full of TDS👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆 and you support a human smuggler, wife beater, child rapists, Pedos and a Satanist. Nice job loser.
 
Little e and Du Du must be in on this human smuggling business with guys like Kilmar. Sickos will pay dearly. My pals mom told my BFF that he only "slapped" her, not punched her. This is the mind of the hard left. Du Du just said that Steven Miller has wet dreams over Trump. This is a very sick fucker on the forum who also was or still is involved with girls' soccer and he will pay big time. Welcome to da Kitchen. Thanks Dom, TGIFF!!!

Watch Scotty, especially at the end.

If you're going to parrot talking points you should really give the original author credit.

The markets are still very unstable, but this is encouraging. The post tariff decline has been effectively wiped out and this will temper recession fears for the time being. I guess Trump will take credit for the economy today. 🤣

The post reciprocal tariff decline ... there is still trillions wiped off from the OG tariffs back in Feb/Mar. On the recession front, from what I am reading there is substantially less "product" coming in ships from Asia. This is going to start kicking in around mid May and then there will be a ripple effect, e.g. less cargo > less trucking > less deliveries > empty shelves. We just had negative growth, triggered in large part by panic buying / stock piling which spiked imports hugely ...

Over shadowing all this is the 90 day window / pause on tariffs. What happens then? The market will react before it unless something substantive happens.

You are so dumb, for reals. This is what i think. I think Trump is playing the fence game like watty does. If the market tanks, it's Bidens fault. If the market sores to new heights, then it's because of the Trump Tariffs and the Trump Card. Either way, Trump is right again. All kidding aside, we will all be trust fund kids of the new earth, except for the cheaters, killers, liars, pedos and those who carry their water like Little e and Du Du. I'm going out with my BFF tonight to the Winn for some fun tonight because I love to win. God bless you all :)

I don't disagree. Companies may not be able to afford their inventory when it arrives on US shores from China. Incredibly unstable market, but not all of it's flags are red. Interest rates are coming down, just not fast enough. The end of 2nd quarter might tell us a lot.

Whatabout you supporting cheaters, child hunters, human smugglers, killers, liars, pedos, rapists and wife beaters? Whatabout all the kids that were lost under Biden's HHS (Hells Human Shithole) and handed to Trump's team to go find and rescue? You are a complete loser Little e.

Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?"
Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:
"A few things spring to mind.
Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.
For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever.
I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.
Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.
Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.
And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.
Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.
He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.
He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.
That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless - and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
* Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
* You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.
God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.
He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.
In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:
'My God… what… have… I… created?
If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set."

How was the economy? Rough. We spent 4 years overpaying for everything while grandpa took more vacation than any president in history.

Oh, you meant the stock market? That only applies to the wealthy people you despise, right?

There are not as many cargo ships, i.e. they don't have to worry about paying when it arrives as its not leaving yet.

I see two articles on CNBC about treasury yields, headlines as follows - which is funny shit as they are both dated 5-1-25
"Treasury yields inch lower as investors grapple with recession fears"
"Treasury yields inch higher as weak jobless claims raise stakes for Friday’s jobs report"

Stock market was great - yay for retirement savings, wages increased at a higher than normal rate, more people were being employed, corporations made record profits - sure inflation sucked but that was a global thing, and the US reduced it as fast or faster than any western economy.
