The ugly truth of Trump's America first agenda

[TimFitz]

A President putting interest of the US citizen first isn’t isolationism nor is it bigotry

It’s what the leader of the United States should be doing

The fact that you don’t want to do that highlights your aren’t American

Trumpism and bigotry go hand in hand.

Trumpism and bigotry go hand in hand.

What bigotry?

Like I think you demafasict don’t know what bigotry is. Like you all have no issues with beating a Jew up because they are Jewish, or locking someone up because they don’t support your demklan party, but think it’s bigotry to deport a MS13 member that came here illegally

If that’s true then why are lefties having meltdowns over tariffs?

Trade deficits and import dynamics may partially explain why rational observers regard Trump's frequent flip-flops on tariffs as something to meltdown over.

If ChatGPT is correct when it claims US imports dropped by nearly 20% in April 2025 and institutions like the OECD and IMF indicate TACO tariffs have slowed economic growth and contributed to rising inflation, it's worth questioning the long term efficacy of Trump's tariff applications.

LoL it's a Salon commentary from a blogger

No wonder you're stupid, Jones

"If Joe Biden slipped into senility, Donald Trump has fallen precipitously into it.

"He is the equivalent of the Alzheimer’s patient screaming, 'You kids get off my lawn,' when he’s actually standing in line to get his flu shot at the retirement center against the advice of his own worm-ridden doctor."

Supporting Trump requires stupidity on a cosmic scale.

Trump goes TACO nuts

The open bigotry that routinely comes out of the mouths of Trump cultists. The white supremacists in the White House.

Trump’s constant race bIting.

Oh, and I never beat up anyone for being Jewish, and have no plans to. DoYou?

“but think it’s bigotry to deport a MS13 member that came here illegally”

No court determined that any of Trump’s victims are members of anything.

Bigotry is snatching someone off the street in secret, with no due process and deporting them just so it would make good TV for those who don’t honor the rule of law.

This is what we and the courts objected to. But Trumpsters wanted to ignore that and make it all about the victim’s race.

Bigotry is when Trump pushes a false story about Haitians eating pets, and having Trumpster buy it , promote it. Embrace it and make up their own fake stories about imaginary crimes committed by brown people.

Own it.

‘The United States became the undisputed leader of the "free world" after World War II for a lot of reasons, but one of the most important was the fact that so many of the most renowned scientists who had been displaced during the war came to America. This was especially true of German Jews and some of their comrades who were chased out of Germany when the Nazis took power. It was a massive brain drain that hobbled the German war effort and benefited the Allies greatly.
[…]
The parallels between what happened to Germany's scientific community and what is happening here isn't perfect, but it's close enough. The Trump administration has embarked on a concerted effort to end America's role as a world leader in science and innovation. They aren't singling out Jewish scholars, although plenty of Jews will be caught up in it. They are instead using a blunderbuss to blast the whole system by targeting foreign students for deportation and defunding the research that will lead to the breakthroughs of the future.

There is no logical reason for any of this. Their reasons change day to day. One day it's because the research is "DEI" which simply means we have no need to understand anything about diverse populations. Another day it's withholding money for universities allegedly because of antisemitism and revoking Harvard University's right (and probably others in the future) to enroll foreign students. Now we've gone into full red scare McCarthyism toward Chinese students and scientists.
[…]
Every day, there are stories of researchers seeing their life's work being capriciously destroyed without any thought or consideration for the value they bring to the country's economic and social well-being. Foreign scientists working in the country are harassed by ignorant customs officials and, in some cases, thrown in prison on spurious grounds. It's impossible not to see this as another example of an authoritarian government purging the country of its finest minds simply as a way of exerting control.’

The president stops the investments that made America wealthy in recent years

And this is but a small example of damage being done by the Trump regime – some of it irreparable.

If 1/10th of the bs you and salon are spreading were true it would very bad for America

As it stands the fact that so many libs are rooting for trump to fail, and thus America to fail, as bad if not worse
