Trumps Presidency 2025

I don't think there would be a war. It's like Germany in tanks and Poland on horseback.

To be fair, wholesale prices are coming down, so it’s not a complete lie. That said, isn’t the Republicans saying wholesale egg prices are coming down, while we are still paying elevated and even rising prices at the store, the same as when Democrats last year said inflation is under control while people were reporting rising prices at the grocery store?

I don't think so.

CPI measures the rate that prices increase, not actual prices.  People on both sides often think inflation dropping equals prices dropping.  It doesn't.  It just means prices are not going up as fast as they were.  Even my explanation is wrong because we could have deflation and then prices actually would drop.  But the CPI would have to go below 0 for that to happen.

The egg price index being used tracks actual prices.  We should see actual price drops when this index drops.  Although it will take a little time to reach retail levels.

Yes, the only thing keeping mad King Donald in check are the Nukes that would be launched from a submarine we helped them build.

I don't think Trump wants a war with Canada.  He wants to bully and humiliate them into doing what he wants.  That's what he has done his whole life and he usually gets his way because of money and power.  If he does start a war with Canada though, I am not supporting it in any way.  

Hitler didn't want a war with the rest of Europe, either. He started the war only once he could not bully and humiliate them into handing him the lebensraum on a silver platter that he wanted.

All good points, although I was not talking in terms of technical economics, either.

I don't get what's so special about MAGA's "America first".  We have ALWAYS been America first. Everything we do is done with America in mind first even if it also helps other countries in some way.  

America First was a Nazi sympathizing organization started in 1940.

Noted Detroiter's Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh were among its more prominent members.

Call me naive, but I don't see a world where an actual, boots-on-the-ground war on Canada has broad popularity or acceptance from Americans. Especially given that, as of now, annexing Canada currently sits at like -70 with the American public in public polling

"What did he do?"

"It's on TV"

"WHat is it?  What did he do?"

"It's here on TV.... he's got a visa"

"He has a green card not a visa"

"He supports terrorists.  It's on the TV.  His visa"

"He has a green card"

Be cool if this worked.

Regardless of your thoughts on the Gaza conflict, the case of Khalil should be chilling to all of us. It’s someone that has committed no crime, in this country legally, that is being detained due to having an opinion that differs from the administrations.

And he's been doing it with news organizations as well. Reporters who ask tough questions get banned from the press briefings

I read an article about Canadians having "Trump anxiety". It is weird to be attacked. We've always been the likeable buddy who jumps in when friend gets attacked but otherwise get along with everyone.

Now try to transpose that feeling of dread or anxiety to people who originate from countries where internal / external violence looms on a near-daily basis

[CMRivdogs]

We need more "Donnie did that" stickers
