The Christians that support Trump either lack discernment or have a defective moral compass. Those of us that oppose him clearly saw what was coming.
You simply can't make up such hypocrisy. This guy would rather have had Kamala, and all her purely satanic agenda, than a guy that doesn't care what the world thinks, will always put HIS country first.

Also, psst...little secret here TB. Ya know. Just between us two.

We LIKE what's coming!

If I remember correctly -and I'm pretty sure I do- you were speaking of wanting to go somewhere where there were no Trump supporters, and I don't think such a place exists on earth... That is why the mothership was going to come and get you.
Well let's see, Canada loves us and Greenland loves us, but what about Yemen? I suspect you can find plenty of people in Yemen who are not fans of Trump.

The empire’s bleeding out, and these morons are slapping a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound, calling it a win. :unsure:

They sold us this tariff gambit as some grand chess move, re-industrialize America, slash interest rates on short-term bonds, flex on China like a badass in a bar fight. “Genius!” they crowed. “Masterful!” they cheered.

Well, how’s that working out? Spoiler: it’s a dumpster fire.
Re-industrialization? Still a pipe dream, those crony capitalists in Trump’s orbit aren’t sinking their billions into factories today any more than they were last week. In fact, they’re probably laughing harder now, counting their profits from the chaos.

Short-term bond rates? Shooting up, not down, meaning Uncle Sam’s shelling out more to borrow, not less. :unsure:

Umm, unhinged lady... Trump ANNOUNCED prior to pulling the tariffs to the world.

"NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY"!!!

Pretty bad "insider" secret trade there.

I agree. The only people who got rich on all this were those who listened to what Trump said, those who lambasted him and accused him of being an idiot were the ones who got "rinsed" according to the unhinged lady.

I'd wager a lot of people here voted Clinton in the second time. They wouldn't admit it for the life of them. When it comes down to it the pocketbook meant more than what a president did in the oval office.
I didnt vote Clinton but will say he was a pretty good president.....for a democrat.

Other that being sleazy, I thought that he did a decent job as president. He was the last president to actually have a balanced budget. For the record, I didn't vote for him though.

What is insider Trading?

This is where you take information that is inside the company and not made publicly available to make money on a publicly traded stock. The idea being that it is not fair for someone on the board of directors, or the CEO, or the wife of a CEO to be making money on stock trades by using information that is not available to everyone else and which gives you an unfair advantage. A very good example of this would be Pelosi feeding her husband inside information that he then traded on.

So then if you wish to charge Trump or his billionaire buddies of insider trading I would have a few questions.

1. When was it first public knowledge that Trump intended to use tariffs on other nations to balance the trade? That was part of his presidential campaign. By definition a campaign is when you make public the policies you will implement if you are elected. So this was common knowledge prior to Trump having any ability to manipulate any stocks. That is critical.

2. When was it public knowledge that Trump would "reward" those who complied with his tariffs without responding tit for tat while punishing those that did? Well that was made public when he imposed the tariffs. This was stated in Presidential press conferences.

3. Did anyone profit on stock trades made prior to Trump saying he intended to impose tariffs? No. The evidence suggests the money was moving to gold after the election whereas Trump stated his intentions before the election.

4. Did anyone profit on buying back stock after it crashed based on Trump rewarding those who complied with his tariffs before his intention was made public? No. It was made public prior to the tariffs being imposed.

However, I appreciate that Dude, HeisHere and RA are so passionate against insider trading, so by all means let's prosecute Pelosi and her husband and all the other congressmen and senators who have participated in this.

Why are you bothered by this?
You're in Canadia.

Oooooh that's right, you're desperate about some credit from the OrangeMan.

Well you better check first. My aunt is Danish and you can't move there unless you're married to a Dane. They forgot to tell people that one.
Point being, most Americans don't have the money or resources to leave

Not going to lie though, if I had like Elon musk money. I might think about leaving. Maybe move to a country that doesn't demonize science so much.
Where is the science in saying men can get pregnant or men are not stronger than women so let them play against each other. Where is the science behind saying liquor stores and pot stores are essential business. Show me the scientific studies behind telling me if I ride a motorcycle cycle I dont need a mask unless there's someone riding with me. Both sides are bat crap loony and they deny or except anything as science as long as it fits thier agenda.

Anti-vaxxers are almost exclusively right-wing conservative
We had measles eradicated until conservative antivaxers brought it back
Or the ones who say dumb stuff like particle physics is satanic
The hubris of 💩ing on science while reaping the benefits.
Also, if American conservatives had their way, America would be the Christian version of Saudi Arabia
