A Pedo commander in scams you mean.

Take that MAGA cap that covers your eyes and ears of your head and let your Hillbilly right brain do some work.

Then you maybe understand a little bit how your "commander" really is.

Was he trying to hint at the future data release (GDP data)?Just like his statement last April, "This is a great time to buy!"

The Supreme Court struck down a huge chunk of President Donald Trump’s far-reaching tariff agenda.
The law that undergirds those import duties “does not authorize the President to impose tariffs,” the majority ruled six to three.

Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the opinion of the court. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.

This will gone cost him much more.......

YOU ARE FIRED!!!


He has claimed that foreign countries bear the cost of his tariffs, and he has downplayed concerns that the taxes will lead to higher prices for Americans. His administration, however, has admitted that the duties are paid by U.S. importers.

Trump has claimed the tariff revenue has been so large that the duties may be able to replace the income tax. He has also floated the idea of sending Americans $2,000 tariff dividend checks.

“We have taken in, and will soon be receiving, more than 600 Billion Dollars in Tariffs,” he wrote in a recent Truth Social post.

Other estimates are significantly lower: The Bipartisan Policy Center, for instance, tallied U.S. gross tariff revenue in 2025 at about $289 billion. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said it had collected roughly $200 billion between Jan. 20 and Dec. 15.

President Donald Trump appeared to drop a hint that the incoming fourth-quarter GDP data would be weaker prior to its release.

“The Democrat Shutdown cost the U.S.A. at least two points in GDP. That’s why they are doing it, in mini form, again,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post at 7:50 a.m. ET.

Forty minutes later, the Commerce Department reported that that U.S. gross domestic product rose at an annualized rate of just 1.4% in Q4, lower than expectations.

Nobody cares. He is above the law. (he thinks he is)

Again.......who wants to explain to him how the FED works and that Powell is just one vote out the bunch. I guess it's Friday so some type of noise needs to come out the pipeline.
Question is: is this one of those "we are at 5% gdp, should be at 7%+!!!!" Tweets......or....a "we are at 1%< should be at least 3%"?

I am guessing the former, but we shall see.....in about 60 seconds...


Edit: I guess not

The shutdown was a political standoff. There was a failure to agree on funding arrangements.

It's a two-way street.

Now the megaphone is promoting victimhood (yet again) and conceding a loss to the Democrats when he ought to have demonstrated leadership at the time.

Own goal.

Well why doesn't he act like the President he claims to be and get everyone talking at the negotiating table? "Art of the deal" my arse. More like "Art of the coercion".

He's not the worst or the best president... this debate is a joke. Try to understand, all presidents have done good policies and bad policies... it is difficult to manage the largest economy in the world, way more difficult than you can think.
He's coming from the real estate industry, so of course he wants the interest the lowest possible. On the other side, the FED is in charge of the maintaining the interest rate and employment in a certain range, that's THEIR job, NOT his... like he wishes. He's using his bullying technique, but those are just words... don't pay attention... look at the numbers (if they are accurate, which i doubt now).
Also, the tariffs were used a century ago and they didn't work. Well the numbers are showing the average American consumers are paying for them in part, and it hasn't made things better (look at the numbers once again
The debt is the real concern... he should focus on that, not trying to police the entire world (which increases the debt btw).

That last image of Trump contains a fake quote. However, he likely chose the Republicans because they are easier to corrupt, since they love money so much

Trump’s global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court
From @zerohedge | Feb 20, 2026 | 148 comments
*TRUMP’S GLOBAL TARIFFS STRUCK DOWN BY US SUPREME COURT Supreme Court of the United States: Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, President of the United States The question presented is whether the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) authorizes the President to impose tariffs. See 91 Stat. 1626. Shortly after taking office, President Trump sought to address two foreign threats: the influx of illegal drugs from Canada, Mexico, and China, Presidential Proclamation No. 10886, 90 Fed. Reg. 8327; Exec. Order No. 14193, 90 Fed. Reg. 9113; Exec. Order No. 14194, 90 Fed. Reg. 9117; Exec. Order No. 14195, 90 Fed. Reg. 9121, and “large and persistent” trade deficits, Exec. Order No. 14257, 90 Fed. Reg. 15041. The President determined that the drug influx had “created a public health crisis,” 90 Fed. Reg. 9113, and that the trade deficits had “led to the hollowing out” of the American manufacturing base and “undermined critical supply chains,” id., at 15041. The President declared a national emergency as to both threats, deeming them “unusual and extraordinary,” and invoked his authority under IEEPA to respond. He imposed tariffs to deal with each threat. As to the drug trafficking tariffs, the Pre *SUPREME COURT RULES 6-3 AGAINST TRUMP ON TARIFFS Supreme Court does not address eligibility for tariff refunds.
