If Trump actually starts the 25% tariffs as he know says are back on, prepare for a big hit in the market and at the grocery and home goods stores down the road.

Trump has now fired more veterans than any other American president.

“Shame on you, Donald. The Commander-in-Chief turning his back on our nation's heroes doesn't make our country greater or any more efficient-it makes us weaker.”

All the maga Influencers. Got played by the Trump administration who was looking to change the media coverage

Anyone getting a chuckle out of mini me Marsh? Just like Trump claims, he is the smartest, the most skilled, the hardest worker, what’s next; claiming he could solve all the budget and deficit issues because he is the best problem solver EVER!

That is the tip of the iceberg, the proposed cuts in the VA budget are a shameful treatment of our true patriots. No surprise when potus dodged service (coward), called our veterans losers and suckers (coward), pardoned thugs that beat and killed police officers (coward) and now plans to strip our true patriots of benefits.

Willing to take money from a black person to do a job.. I bet all nice and nicely in person then your online life post pictures look at me. I dropped the kids off at the pool.

I say kindly that he is a piece of work, but you know that doesn't describe this mini me and cult member aka one trick pony. Not once in all these posts has he even attempted to defend policy decisions, unconstitutional firings, the qualifications of appointed cabinet members, WTF Musk is doing running the show, he just barks at the liberals and the hated left. I wouldn't be surprised if his property is plastered with Trump banners even after the election was won by Elon.

PaulS 02-28-2025 09:43 AM

Is this guy stupid or what?

US President Donald Trump appeared to be unaware of Australia's $368billion military pact with the United States when a journalist questioned him about the deal.

When asked by a British reporter ahead of a meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House whether the two leaders would be discussing AUKUS, Mr Trump responded 'what does that mean?'

When the reporter described it as a three-way defense technology partnership between the US, the UK and Australia, Trump agreed it was on the agenda.

When Australia confirmed its first $800million payment under the deal earlier this month, US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth said Trump was both supportive and 'very aware' of the deal.

'We'll be discussing that. We have another great relationship, and you have too, with Australia.

'Yeah, we've had a very good relationship with Australia.'

Marsh is just following Trump’s lead. Zero substance but a lot of hatred, resentment and cruelty. It runs counter to everything I thought made America great.

You could defend this

The SEC has just halted its fraud prosecution of Justin Sun, a Chinese national who has put more than $50 million in Trump's pocket since November through the purchase of crypto tokens from a Trump-backed company, World Liberty Financial.

Technically he didn’t put 50m in Trump’s pocket as Trump would only see the transaction fees.

That being said it looks ridiculously illegal and unethical.

The following canc. programs shows the empathy (or lack of) of maga.

A $131 million grant to UNICEF’s polio immunization program, which paid for planning, logistics and delivery of vaccines to millions of children.

A $90 million contract with the company Chemonics for bed nets, malaria tests and treatments that would have protected 53 million people.

A project in the Democratic Republic of Congo that operates the only source of water for 250,000 people in camps for displaced people located in the center of the violent conflict in the east of the country.

All of the operating costs and 10 percent of the drug budget of the Global Drug Facility, the main supply channel for tuberculosis medications, which last year provided tuberculosis treatment to nearly three million people, including 300,000 children.

H.I.V. care and treatment projects run by the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation that were providing lifesaving medication to 350,000 people in Lesotho, Tanzania and Eswatini, including 10,000 children and 10,000 pregnant women who were receiving care so that they would not transmit the virus to their babies at birth.

A project in Uganda to trace contacts of people with Ebola, conduct surveillance and bury those who died from the virus.

A contract to manage and distribute $34 million worth of medical supplies in Kenya, including 2.5 million monthlong H.I.V. treatments, 750,000 H.I.V. tests, 500,000 malaria treatments, 6.5 million malaria tests and 315,000 antimalaria bed nets.

Eighty-seven shelters that took care of 33,000 women who were victims of rape and domestic violence in South Africa.

A project run by FHI 360 that supported community health workers’ efforts to go door-to-door seeking malnourished children in Yemen. It recently found that one in five children was critically underweight because of the country’s civil war.

Pre- and postnatal health services for 3.9 million children and 5.7 million women in Nepal.

A project run by Helen Keller Intl in six countries in West Africa that last year provided more than 35 million people with the medicine to prevent and treat neglected tropical diseases, such as trachoma, lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis and onchocerciasis.

A project in Nigeria providing 5.6 million children and 1.7 million women with treatment for severe and acute malnutrition. The termination means 77 health facilities have completely stopped treating children with severe acute malnutrition, putting 60,000 children under the age of 5 at immediate risk of death.

A project in Sudan that runs the only operational health clinics in one of the biggest areas of the Kordofan region, cutting off all health services.

A project serving more than 144,000 people in Bangladesh that provided food for malnourished pregnant women and vitamin A to children.

A program run by the aid agency PATH, called REACH Malaria, which protected more than 20 million people in 10 countries in Africa from the disease. It provided malaria drugs to children at the start of the rainy season.

A project run by Plan International that provided drugs and other medical supplies, health care, treatment of malnutrition programming, and water and sanitation for 115,000 displaced or affected by the conflict in northern Ethiopia.

More than $80 million for UNAIDS, the United Nations agency, which funded work to help countries improve H.I.V. treatment, including data collection and watchdog programs for service delivery.

The President’s Malaria Initiative program called Evolve, which did mosquito control in 21 countries by methods that include spraying insecticide inside homes (protecting 12.5 million people last year) and treating breeding sites to kill larvae.

A project providing H.I.V. and tuberculosis treatment to 46,000 people in Uganda, run by the Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation, Uganda.

Smart4TB, the main research consortium working on prevention, diagnostics and treatment for tuberculosis.

The Demographic and Health Surveys, a data collection project in 90 countries that were crucial and sometimes the only sources of information on maternal and child health and mortality, nutrition, reproductive health and H.I.V. infections, among many other health indicators. The project was also the bedrock of budgets and planning.

Asked by a journalist if he could trust the Russian strongman, the president replied, "I think he'll keep his word. I've spoken to him, I've known him for a long time now, you know, we had we had to go through the Russian hoax together –– that was not a good thing. It's not fair, that was a rigged deal and had nothing to do with Russia. It was a rigged deal inside the country and they had to put up with that too. They put up with a lot."

Poor Trump and Putin - they went through a lot together.

President Donald Trump’s administration has begun terminating grants to organizations that enforce the Fair Housing Act by taking complaints, investigating and litigating housing discrimination cases for Americans across the country, according to a document and information obtained by The Associated Press on Friday.

The grants are disbursed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to private nonprofits, which act as the frontline enforcement of the federal anti-discrimination law. They educate communities on their rights, test whether a landlord is racially discriminating, investigate complaints, resolve disputes and can fund legal counsel.

Let's bring back discrimination and Make America Great Again!

It’s not just Ukraine that owes America back pay, all those minorities who benefited from anti-discrimination policy are about to get what they’ve got a commin!
