I am more than fine with Trump using the white elephant 747 gift for his personal use. I think him flying around in a plane with anti-missile defence capability and the ability to re-fuel in flight to keep him out of harms way is completely unnecessary. A real Air Force-1 is so overrated. /s

Why don't the news reports mention that Air Force 1 has missile defense and secure communications capability and the bribe plane would have to be completely rebuilt. Then rebuilt again to remove that when given to "the library".

It has been said that if you had your pick between a corrupt but competent politician and a morally upright incompetent one you would be better with the corrupt one. Nobody ever talks about a corrupt incompetent one as a choice but here we are. And we picked this over a moral competent one.

You fought to keep transgender girls in women's sports and now, as a direct result I would argue, all transgender GIs, who have served honorable and without incidents, will be given dishonorable discharges. Happy? Keep supporting positions that 70% of people are against and this is what you get.

I get emails from B&H Photo. I see price cuts on stuff that is going to go up because of Tariffs. Did they stock up pre tariff and want to unload it before the Trump recession. Just wondering. I did not expect to see so much stuff at reduced price. I expected the opposite. What do you think?

Now the GOP is saying that they are NOT cutting Medicare, they are just not going to reimburse the states for the cost any more. So it would actually be the states that are cutting Medicare.

I just read that DOGE has saved $5 billion. That is a lot until you read that it cost $135 billion this year to get those savings. Net, we destroyed a lot of government benefit and it cost us $130 billion to do it.

The tariffs are designed to cause companies and countries to bribe Trump for exceptions that will be cast as the greatest deal for America ever. The panic buying that is going on now will bring good economic numbers short term and make him look like a genius. The biggest con the world has ever seen.

There is a buying panic right now. The economy might do really well in the short term and by them Trump will have negotiated the "best deals ever" from companies and nations who have bent the knee and paid the bribes he demands to remove the tariffs on them. It is a scam, a con game.
