My dislike or hatred of Trump only serves as rose colored glasses to filter the info I glean through.

Just as you drink the MAGA Kool-Aid, so do I drink an anti-MAGA beverage.

We are divided.

This reminds me of when Trump was running against HRC. They asked ‘Joe in the street’ to assess certain proclamations Trump made, and they all berated Trump for saying them. Until the interviewer informed the citizens that it was actually Obama who said it…….

But to be fair, Trumps biggest campaign promises are only hitting 50-50. He’s trying to deport illegal criminal aliens. Check. He’s ending DEI costs to the government. Check. He’s helping Israel and targeting antisemitism far more than the Dems. Check. I’ll hold off on criticizing his Ukraine stances until next week after we see if there really is a cease fire. Tariffs- failure on so many levels. Economy…. doesn’t look like inflation is controlled. Fail. Haphazard Federal firings/program eliminations. Fail. Treating our foreign allies as allies. Fail. Stock market. FAIL.

Overall I’m not happy with how he’s handled things. But if push came to shove, I still think it’s better overall than same old/same old a Harris/Walz administration would have led to. And let’s be honest, he’s FAR more interesting!

If the election was held today
Trump would lose
I was way better off financially when Biden was President
My number 1 issue is the economy
Trump is a total failure in this regard

Cuban state-run media on Wednesday cheered the Trump administration's decision to gut U.S.-funded media outlets long heralded as a cornerstone of Washington's effort to promote its viewpoint in communist-run Cuba.

U.S. President Donald Trump issued an order last week to vastly reduce the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), a nearly $1 billion operation that oversees news broadcasts in 50 languages.
Among the news services affected globally, the cuts have shuttered the Office of Cuba Broadcasting, Radio Marti and online platform Noticias Marti, whose mission, according to their website, was to provide "the Cuban people with news and information without censorship."

Based in Miami, the services broadcast news about Cuba to their predominantly Cuban audience, often providing a counterpoint to that of state-run providers on the island.
Cuban state-run news outlet Cubadebate celebrated the Trump decision, calling the programs "the most expensive, failed, and corrupt communications project in the history of the United States."

Larry Summers agrees with me. Cuts at the IRS are going to hurt us. He predicted 1 trilllion loss of revenue over the next ten years, if we don’t fix what Trump has shit on us in that agency

Why do you care? You are against gutting waste. Why are you all of the sudden caring about the budget?

Cut waste first.

Nope. You are for waste. You are against Trump, who is trying to stop it.

No, not your fan.

You are against anything Trump says or does. You will defend the worst waste because of your TDS.
