Busy Mr Trump

Just can’t the story straight can he? I’ve lost count of the twists, turns, and reversals of Epstein and Trump’s tariffs.

Epstein was someone he partied with.
Then someone he knew because they were neighbours.
OK, Epstein was seen with a lot of personalities so to be seen with him was not a sign of complicity in his crimes.

But the guest list?
“I promise to release it”
“It is with the DoJ”
“There is no guest list”
“The guest list was made up by Biden, and Obama, and Clinton”

But never mind he will soon be throwing another dead cat on the table, so just the news cycle will do the rounds of tariffs, troops on the streets, falling $, casinos in Gaza, invading Canada, etc etc.
Never a lack of diversions !

dont worry if he told you the sky was up and the ground was down you would still argue. those that have common sense can follow along and know what he is doing.

its just dawned on me why you dont critasize the labour gov you dont understand what they are doing

Neither do they :grinning_face: :grinning_face:

thing is i think they do know what they are doing. they are just being dishonest about it.

God help us if that’s the case. It’s like government by the Keystone Cops. To paraphrase Churchill “never in the field of British politics have so many politicians, made so many foul ups, about so many issues”

Today is the 6 month mark of trump.

Unemployment falling
over 158,000 illegals detained or deported.
every us market improved
doge savings over 190 billion
taxes down
jobs created

starmer in comparison has broken every election promise he made/

If the yanks dont want trump next time round farage should bring him over here.

kinda puts the whiners to shame really

Yeah but they sure as hell won’t accept it.:joy:
It goes all against ‘the narrative’.

I feel a counter list coming up in 5 4 3 2 …

Unemployment rate?
Jan 2025, 4.0% June 4.1% So it has risen in Trump’s term.
But how does June this year compare with June last year? Then it was also 4.1% so no change at all. US official figures here https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm

Every US market improved?
What does that mean really? Stock markets?
Look at the Dow Jones:
https://5yearcharts.com/stock-index/dow-jones-5-year-charts.html
Following the Covid years it rose under Biden. Trump got it and it plunged down. It has now recovered that loss. So if it had just continued it would be higher than it is now.
Yes it is higher now than in Jan of this year, but it should be higher.
Look too at the USD: “The worst start to a year since 1973” https://menafn.com/1109822507/What-Is-Next-After-Significant-US-Dollar-Depreciation

DOGE savings 190b$ ? Says who?
Is saving some spending on building flood defences really a long term saving?
And how much has really been “saved”?

Tax cuts? Yes tax cuts are planned. They are in the pipeline.
If you book an exotic foreign holiday are you doing well? You probably are if you can afford to pay cash for that holiday. You are being stupid if you book that holiday and have borrow money and pay interest to get it. Stupid.
The Trump budget shows some small savings in the future, and tax is one of the massive expenses up coming.

Trump is only 6 months in and the future is looking bleak as his actions seem set to worsen the US economy.

1…0.
:joy:
Yep…As predictable as when night follows day…and Franglais never fails to disappoint…it HAD to be him.:joy:

I got a hint of nostslgia there, it took me back to when Boris was PM, those Franglais lists backed up with links were like reading the morning paper every day…and with constant updates.
Not so much for last 12 months though funnilly enough…and especially surprising and bizzare (not really btw :smiley:) when the scope for endless posts of criticism are off the scale nowadays

So to redress the balance…(and for old times sake :grinning_face:)
C’mon Franglais, how about a list of midemeanours, hypocrisy, lies, broken promises, ineptitude, incompetence, bad moves and absolute ■■■■ ups from Starmer and his socialist f/'wits on the other thread?

No?

Can’t bring yourself to criticise the Glourious Left?

Tell ya what, ‘‘do yer thing’’ …
Have a trawl through my vast repetoire of political posts and see how I slagged off the Tories in the old days, with an admission of me ‘‘maybe being wrong for voting for and supporting them’’…
You know what?
It didn’t hurt at all.

Best get permission first though eh?..as it may go against the Official Narrative :flushed_face:

Ya don’t want to be seen to be not ‘‘keeping yer end up’’ …so as to speak.:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Yeah second thoughts you could get into all sorts of trouble.
Much safer to constanly slag off from afar a foreign President, it releases pent up frustration, fills a gap, and diverts atention to what REALLY goes on in OUR country.

And… ?
You foretold that the post from @cooper1203 was spin and nonsense, and was going to be challenged? Wouldn’t that show you see it for what it is, and not be fooled by it?
I don’t think so though.
I think you want to hear something that confirms your belief that Trump is doing well and ignore all contrary figures. I say “contrary figures” but the post had no figures at all, just a list of claims, backed up by zilch.

:joy:

Your skills of interpretation and analysis of pov certainly need honing mate…‘‘You think’’ wrong.

Btw I prefer to make a judgenent on what I see and hear, rather than from stats figures and negative spin from those with an agenda.:thinking:

Forgot to say…
Waiting in (pointless) anticipation on the other thread for your latest stats, figures, links and points of criticisnm on OUR leader and OUR government.

You have had a whole 12 months of incompetence to critique, and to compile one of your famous lists…

Don’t be leaving us all hanging man.

(Note to self…
Don’t be holding your breath Rob.
:joy::joy: )

You prefer to make a decision on what you see and hear…rather than…stats and figures… :smiley:

Yep, a sweet lie is always more welcome than the blunt truth.

Again mate…just (mis) interpret what I say as much as you like…not fussed, it’s what I expect,.whether it be genuine or ‘for effect’.

If the fact that I do not automatically readily believe anything official without question, and especially anything from a left perspective, is in direct contrast to you and your way of thinking, I can not help that.

Trump seems to have come up with …a cunning plan…
He is proposing to get drug prices (pharmaceuticals, not illegal ones) down. By a lot.
In fact he claims by 1,000%, 500%, 600%, 1,500%.

And he also says “numbers that are thought not even achievable”.
Well, he got summat right then!

Just to be clear, if he achieves that, then if an aspirin costs 1$ today. Then after the deal it will be 1 minus 1,000 =-999 dollars.
If I buy an aspirin, the pharmacist will take minus 999$.
He will give me one aspirin, and 999$. with it.
Hey! I got a baad headache coming on.

i really hope you parents didnt pay for your schooling. If the school is still around you need to smack your maths teacher in the mouth,

100% of x is the same as x * 100/100 ie x * 1 or x… if something costs 1 dollar then 100% of that is guess what 1 dollar.

1000% of x is x * 1000/100 = x * 10 ie ten times the amount or in this case as we are talking about reductions a 10th of the amount. ie if an asprin costs a dollar then it will now cost 10 cents.

Really?

If an aspirin costs one dollar, that is 100 cents.

A reduction of 10 percent is a saving of ten cents, it would cost 90 cents.

A reduction of 90 per cent, means it would cost 10 cents.

A price drop of 100 per cent means it would cost nothing. Zero.
100 % of the cost has been eliminated.

Dropping the price further means it costs less than nothing.

A 200 per cent drop means it cost negative 100 cents. That is the pharmacist pays you to take it away!

dear dear dear… education yesterday…
dont worry you need to add and subtract first…percentages are hard for you obviously

just to prove the point

so your saying 1000% of 1 dollar is 1000 dollars

now you say

so which is it?

your multiplying when you should be dividing on the last one.

if something was a pound and its reduced to 50 pence what your saying is that the original price was 25 pence so it isnt a saving after all.

ignoring franglais channeling reeves for his maths skills… its a good idea.

rather than punishing the rich by making them pay for obama care or what ever it is now called because people are too thick to get decent health insurance. It benefits both sides. The lazy get cheaper medication and have to pay less out of pocket and those that have the brains to prioritise getting decent health coverage get cheaper premiums because the medication isnt so expensive.
