Trumps first month

[rightwinger]

Trump has just completed the first month of his second term

First, the good
He has delivered as promised on border security. Migrants are afraid to come in fear of what Trump may do to them.
Stopping production of the penny is long overdue
Funding for Invitro Fertilization

The Bad
Dismantling the Government has been a disaster and created chaos. Nobody objects to eliminating waste, but firing indiscriminately and claiming it is waste is irresponsible
His plan to chase every Palestinian out of Gaza and creating a resort is cruel and unworkable
His plan to end the war in Ukraine is a disaster. Rather than bringing both parties together and finding middle ground, he is siding with Putin and blaming Ukraine for the war
Shattering our relationship with Europe and welcoming Russia is a disaster
A Trade War with the rest of the world will only hurt our economy

The Stupid
Why would anyone pick a fight with Canada? They are our strongest ally
The Gulf of America?
Threatening Greenland
Trying to seize the Panama Canal

 

[BluesLegend]

Government is dismantled? There's no evidence that government was dismantled trimming 5% to 10% of the headcount. Newsflash this happens all the time in the private sector where we have to live within our means.

The migration thing is temporary... Tried this before...
This is Trump own graph...

How do we know it is Trump's? Arrow in the wrong place.
Try a year later, Trump left office start of 2021... Opps... Trump over saw a 6 fold increase in the previous 9 months... Making it the worst time in previous ten years... That was under Trump...

Also look when he took over from Obama, within a year he was back to Obama numbers. It is smoke and mirrors...

Production of the penny
There are pros and cons, none being that major... Here are the reasons EU keeps the 1 cent coin...

1. Price Stability: The 1 cent coin helps maintain price stability and allows for prices to be expressed in smaller increments. This is particularly important for consumer goods where prices can be quite low.
2. Transaction Ease: Having a 1 cent coin facilitates easier transactions, making it simpler for consumers to make exact payments without needing to round prices up or down.
3. Psychological Pricing: The presence of lower denomination coins can influence pricing strategies, allowing businesses to set prices that end in .99 or similar, which can be more appealing to consumers.
4. Public Sentiment: There is a degree of public attachment to the 1 cent coin, and many citizens prefer having the option of using it for transactions.
5. Cost of Production: While there are costs associated with producing and distributing coins, the overall economic impact of removing the 1 cent coin (e.g., rounding prices) could lead to higher costs for consumers in the long run.
6. Harmonization Across Member States: Keeping the 1 cent coin helps maintain consistency across the Eurozone, ensuring that all member states have a uniform currency system

Funding for IVF
Good idea... Must piss off some of his base, but credit where credit is due on this one... Great for young families to get help.

The way Musk is cutting staff is very harmful to America... If he did this in a traded company he would be fired...

This is the mess he brought to Twitter...

The company is hemoraging money even though he fired 80% of the workforce..

Value of X has fallen 71% since purchase by Musk and name change from Twitter

Twitter Will Lose More than 32 Million Users Worldwide by 2024 Amid Turmoil

It will lose 8 million in the US alone, the most of any country December 13, 2022 (New York, NY) – Twitter will experience an exodus of users next year and beyond, as new owner Elon Musk makes fundamental changes to the platform. In its latest social network usage forecast, Insider Intelligence...

Nothing wrong with reducing a workforce if done in a sane manner

Evaluate each agency. Get independent evaluation of efficiency. Ask workers what does not work. Eliminate functions that are not needed and poor performing workers

Trump is just firing everyone he can without regard to how good a worker they are, how difficult it will be to replace them, impact

Trump found out he could not eliminate the departments he claimed he was gonna eliminate when campaigning.

Trump will not address the issue of inflation because he is causing the inflation.

Trump was not elected to tear down Government. He was elected out of disatisfaction with inflation and his promise to end it on Day 1.

Instead, Trump has done nothing about inflation, egg prices are rising and his tariffs will only increase prices
He warns Americans will experience “some pain”

Other presidents have reduced govt. waste without the lies and the assault on the American people, the farmers are getting screwed and it will affect farm commodity prices.

Trade wars never work out for farmers

He is stiffing them on contracts made during the Biden era and farmers feel they were drygulched, ie: sold out to a man who is rich beyond his needs.

I think you left some things out.

Golfing 8 days out of 29 and spending more time in Florida.
Flying congress critters down to Florida for meetings and charging to put them up for the days they were there.
Super bowl tickets as well as nascar

All this and more on the taxpayer spending millions.

Now, magats will dispute this and deflect to Biden and his little vacations but the difference is he did not do it all in the first month.

For my entire life the Democratic Party has campaigned on cutting military spending…

Yet, without fail, they raised it every year.

Trump + Elon are now attempting to actually cut the defense (War) budget, and Democrats are attacking them for it.

I will believe that when I see it

Seems their plan on cutting the military budget is to kick out trannies and end DEI

More lies from Trump
China has minimal involvement

You are very wrong. Your links are very old.
1. Every company trims staff occasionally, that is a standard practice in traded companies or privately owned companies.
2. Twitter, now known as "X" is doing better than ever.
3. "X" is making money and banks are off-loading Musk's debt to investors. Getting Musk his $44b back.

Musk's X in talks to raise money at $44 billion valuation, Bloomberg News reports

Musk bought X, formerly Twitter, for the same price in 2022.

www.usatoday.com

"Musk's close ties with Trump and return of some advertisers to X have lifted expectations of better finances at the platform. That has helped banks offload the debt they issued to support Musk's Twitter buyout, a source told Reuters earlier this month. Banks, led by Morgan Stanley, sold another chunky portion of loans that formed the $13 billion debt supporting Musk's acquisition, as the deal found broad interest from large fund managers attracted by the prospect of improving revenue of X."
