Trumponomics

[mightyrooster]

The original State Super is the gift that keeps on giving, my partner when straight into it after leaving school and also the same was getting pestered into changing it along with other work colleagues but they all stood strong and living very comfortably now. Push comes to shove both of us could live of it but with my super which is untouched at the moment and also what is looking like a reasonable inheritance coming up when it happens i will be pretty well off if i was by myself.

Same here Horrie. No more stress about money when we’re old. I haven’t touched mine yet either, and while it’s not going to be a huge pension, it’s better than the Age Pension and combined with the other half’s much bigger pension we should be just fine. I’ve just got the kids to worry about now.

What’s this about Trump being illiterate?

I mean, I’m all for inclusiveness and jobs for the less abled, but surely you need to be able to read competently when leader of the ‘free’ world.

Mummy…. Keir..?

What the actual f ???

Liberty, what American foundations have been built upon. Not just the freedom to act or speak freely but to believe in what you want.

So are the 66 tornadoes that hit the u.s. over the weekend god's verdict on trump? i'm not religious so i'd say of course they're not - the tornadoes were caused by natural factors. but similarly trump's claim that it was the hand of god that stopped the assassin's bullet from killing him is bs. if god was involved why didn't he stop the bullet being fired in the first place?

We are talking about the same guy who claimed The United States sent $50 million in condoms to Hamas, diversity programs caused a plane crash, China controls the Panama Canal and Ukraine started the war with Russia.

Im sure he will blame Joe Biden for the tornadoes. Its a ongoing theme for anything bad that happens

A takeaway from Napoleon Bone-aspurs interview with Laura Inghman on Fox 2 days ago

Trump: "Putin actually said to me, 'If you don't mind, friend, I hate to see you as my enemy?

He said it very strongly. I have a very good relationship with Putin. I have a very good relationship with President Xi. A very good relationship with Kim Jong Un"


These are America's friends that have replaced old allies. God Bless the United States of America

That or diversity hiring practices.

Dunno who's to blame for the stockmarket crashing (Tesla completely dive bombing), Israel resuming its bombing of Gaza, Vlad now running amok unchecked in Ukraine (there's no 'deals' other than 'lolz I have the US president wrapped around my finger, this is hilarious!') and endless court resources being wasted on telling Trump he can't just sign a piece of paper, do a Tweet and be like 'but this is my order!!!' It has to have some kind of a statutory basis.

Americans knew is all I can say. They knew how shyte COVID was with Mango Mussolini rambling on about bleach conspiracies, undermining international organisations, farking up international relationships (while rambling on about 'deals'), staging a violent insurrection where police were killed/permanently harmed by (now pardoned) violent gangs, getting impeached twice for misconduct, bagging a criminal conviction for electoral fraud, being on bail while standing for election...etc.

He didn't get any younger during his 4 years of retirement at that stupid Florida resort either. He also made it abundantly clear that he's in bed with Putin since Putin bailed him out during his 6 bankruptcies. We all knew he was a dud, much like his 'MAGA' vision of putting tariffs on everything in the hope that manufacturing industries of the past will magically become growth industries that boost employment stats and salaries for youngsters. Hint... they won't.

The best thing about Trump is how he causes TDS amongst lefties.

Trumpis great. Trump 2028.

He is doing a tremendous job

Funny how that term has dropped off now that Musk is president

[ism22]

At some point old mate's gonna realise that all the lefties have tuned out and he's gotta run the country instead of ceremonially signing 'orders' and appointing right-wing trolls to newly created, $$$ pencil pushing yes man jobs in an attempt to troll his opponents.

Time to go walk the dog. Bye for now MAGA Monkeys

Ladies and Gentlemen,


I give you the President of the United States

All know international trade is not a level playing field so placing across the board Tariffs is not going to address that

The Chinese commo party heavily subsidises their industries up to 50%

Their Car industry for an example - preferential financing, direct grants, cheap land for the factories, below market rates for the raw materials and of course low labour costs

Chinese manufactures can churn out cars at a cost of between 7k to 15k depending on the model and features and sell them for below the cost of production in Europe/US for an example

Wages are as low as $3.60 USD per hour vs the the average of $28 USD per hour in the US and 33 Euro's in Europe ( 35.99 USD).

In reality you would have Tariffs of between 200 to 400% on Chinese Cars to "level the playing field" which isn't going to happen.

Trump didn't learn much from his first term and trade war with China - Had to spend 100's of Billions of Dollars of US Tax Payers money compensating industries and sectors for lost exports.

Interesting to read that Trump is also now eying off a minerals deal with the DR Congo who are estimated to have 24 trillion US of untapped resources - including cobalt, gold and copper.

Currently a war going on in DR Congo between the National Military and the M23 Rebel Group so Trump will need to do a deal pretty quick - could always ask his mate Putin to help out - Another carve up.

Ol' Sal still plugging away with bullshit gems from right wing sources. The median wage quoted (the most common) is around $1500US p/m BUT - free heath care, Fee dentist, cheap public transport, cheap rent, cheap cost of living. Examples: Bistro meal $9US, Beer (pint) from 70c to $4US, local bus 30c, Subway fare 30c etc, etc, etc...That's why China's satisfaction with its governance is around 96% according to Princeton University. The love the joint. The system wotks for them!
