I don't approve of Trump as far as renaming the Gulf of Mexico, or being too chummy with Israel, or creating a Space Force, etc. so hardly a cheerleader though he gives me plenty to cheer about. No MEN in Women's sports made me cheer, and the NCAA seem to agree. Sending Venezuelan gang members to Gitmo cheered me up too.

Yeah hard to believe the wave of men in women's sport, dominating and assaulting every poor little lady in their path. Fair play to Trump ending this very real issue forever

Replying To Trump2020:  "I couldn't be happier with how things are going so far. At a minimum Trump has been so much more transparent and open to the media than the previous man. Deporting Gang Members, the Border crossings are almost down to Zero, spending freeze on money to other countries, DOGE is exposing govt waste by the BILLIONS, etc."
DOGE and GITMO all for show. He will do a 180 on almost everything. Grocery prices up , gas prices up. He said grocery prices and gas prices would drop instantly, his words. He said he would end the war in Ukraine in a day. He will have no impact on that. And as for the Gaza idea. Idiotic.

Inflation has been rampant for the last 4 years. Gas prices were high until the Election was approaching. He stopped sending American Taxpayer money to Ukraine. The Gaza idea is just an idea. It was a mess there before he got in. Some kind of buffer there would be good but I'd favor if the UN was the buffer not the USA.

Given that Israel has nothing but contempt for UN institutions (and that's putting it mildly) the only "buffer" that will be acceptable to them is one that the US military or the IDF has complete control of. Bluntly that means no buffer.

Everything will increase if he follows through on half his stupid ideas. Prices were high pre election? You should work for Fox News lad.

Stopped sending money to the Ukraine? What's your point? He said he would end the war in 24 hours. The Gaza idea is a stupid idea. Can you not acknowledge how crazy his ideas are?

Hannity on Fox News thought Trump's Gaza plan was a terrific idea. If Trump said that the earth was flat, he'd get support from Fox News. Why not? Hannity probably gets 5 million a year for spouting gibberish!

Exactly. Same people losing the plot over Trump's mad idea never opened their mouths when Democrats were allowing Israel a free hand to carpet bomb Gaza and then bomb the tents into which people had fled after the Israelis told them to.

The only true thing Trump said at press conference was "We should never have gone in there." Now he is doing exactly as the Bushes, Clinton, Obama and Biden and allowing what is an effective plan to wipe out one way or another an entire people.

That's correct. There is a huge Jewish lobby in the USA, from both sides of the aisle. Israel will always be supported, and it is noteworthy that billions in aid to Israel is never questioned as government waste. Why so many American made 2000 lb bombs were dropped on Gaza escapes me. Hamas are still there, unless the plan all along was to make Gaza uninhabitable, relocate Palestinians to another country, and that's the final solution!

You need to be careful that you don't get slapped with a liberal, socialist, Dem tag for daring to post anything remotely critical of the incumbent occupant of the White House. Middle ground just doesn't exist anymore, apparently.

But i thought he was different? That's the argument his fans always put forward??? And are adamant that he is different.

He won't get involved in other territories. His words again. He will solve Russia/ Ukraine in 24 hours. And he will immediately get prices down in grocery stores nationwide. All his words.

You are one of main culprits for sticking labels on people when you disagree with them!

Same people who hated Trump here will be doing same forelock tugging if and when he ever visits. Same as their class have been doing back to Queen Victoria. Any foreign prince who might throw them a pat on the head or a few bob.

DeepSeek is now banned from US government computers. Wouldn't DeepSeek lower AI cost for consumers? What has happened to free market capitalism? I guess when people now get their news from Facebook/Meta, specifically tailored to their likes/dislikes, it's all over!

Finally, Trump is legislating to his strength's, with his latest Executive Order! Replacing paper straws with plastic ones for his McDonald's happy meal! His time working at checkout in McDonald's is being put to good use!

Aah Barney. Where would we be without you and your little snipes. . Not labelling or getting into dispute with anyone. Just expressing observations. At my age, with a foot in 8 decades, I've long since given up getting too exercised or excited about anything. It's interesting though to watch how certain people and social media experts are putting up falsehoods as the new "alternative truths and facts". Brilliant. You couldn't make it up really.

Not that much younger than you so. When I posted facts about school exemptions you implied that I was a racist and presumably making them up. So dry your eyes pal.
