A letter from Rhino Times reader Christian Rice
Trump has been very active during his first 100 days in office. That is about the only positive comment I can make given that most of his actions have harmed our economy for the next several years if not for decades. This is not just a worrying liberal minded person’s gut feeling. The early indicators are all pointing to a negative outcome for the US economy. The leading indicators pointing to our economic downturn are:
– Stock market volatility and decline (Morningstar US stock index is down -8%) (Note all other major economy’s market indexes are up. For example: Germany +18%, China +12.4%, Europe +10%, Japan +9% and even Canada is +4% based on Morningstar indexes.
– US Dollar Index is down almost 6%
– Job creation down over 50% from the 1st Quarter average
– Consumer confidence down over 17% since Trump took office and declining
– Negative GDP growth even before tariffs kicked in
– Farmers are the early victims of Trump’s trade war with exports of the soybeans to farmers’ largest export market down 77%
Another key warning sign is that these figures are just the tip of the iceberg of the mess Trump is making of the US economy is the sharp drop in Pacific Coast shipping. Vessel arrivals are down 29% week-over-week and 44% year-over-year. This indicates a significant disruption to US supply chains and will soon lead to layoffs in trucking, shipping, manufacturing, and retail. Sounds a lot like what covid did to shipping during Trumps first term and we all remember how well that went for the US economy.
Trump, of course, blames Biden. Two things should tell you he knows this is BS. First, he claimed credit for the booming economy and stock market at the end of Biden’s term claiming that businesses were excited about his upcoming election victory. Second, he stated today that he will blame Biden for negative GDP next quarter as well. Trump has a habit of projecting for sure, but also note, this indicates how much he understands that the economy is going into the tank. He just doesn’t care. About you or the economy.
Doesn’t take an economist realize that suddenly shutting down trade with one of our largest trading partners is going to have a massive impact on the US economy. Not to mention all the other trading partners who he made enemies of the US economy with bully tariff tactics.
Trump inherited a very strong economy from Biden. He is destroying it along with everything else in this great country. We can and should be better.
Trump is doing more to make America First than any president in modern history, yet many are hostile towards his efforts.
The Biden administration’s weaponization of government power to silence dissent, punish legal advocacy and opponents, and dismantle due process is not just a grave threat but a looming danger that will cast a long, ominous shadow over our country’s future. We cannot afford to ignore this situation.
The Democrats should never be forgiven for all the lies they told us. This betrayal is a heavy burden that should fuel our resolve never to trust them again.
Biden’s closest allies and the media touted “the best Biden ever,” until Trump took office. And if you disagreed, even though it was obvious, you were verbally attacked, called ridiculous, and un-American. But now, many of Biden’s political and media supporters who covered up his decline are coming out of the woodwork and telling the truth.
It’s well past time that Democrats stand tall, admit they were wrong, and apologize to all Americans for the lies they told during COVID, the BLM hypocrisy while they watched cities burn, and people get murdered. Apologize for all the transgender stuff on minors and their war on children, DEI discriminatory polices, and the lies they told about not being able to shut down the border without Congressional approval.
As Trump moves forward, doing the right thing on key issues isn’t always easy, straightforward, or pain-free, but the long-term gains compensate for the short-term hardships.
This letter sounds like someone with TDS wrote it. Folks with TDS can’t stand their life.

That’s very perceptive, Salt Life.
The author of this letter has obvious mental health issues, and displays them almost daily in these columns (“Chris”).
Another hollow childish comment from Austin. Shocker. Yawn.
Is this a joke?
Chrissy is a joke.
Welcome to The Rhino.
No Cd, it’s not a joke. Austin actually thinks his comments are productive beyond showing everyone what a childish person he really is at heart.
Cd is talking about you buddy, not me. You’re such an effing idiot.
Lol, I know. That’s what makes it funny to me when I turn it to be about you. I do it a lot here. Keep up old man.
Get stuffed, little wanker.
childish? did he strike a nerve? Must be over the target….
“You only get flak when you’re over the target”. True, Gary!
Hate to break it to you but Trump and conservatives (and their propaganda news services) are the ones that have been lying to you.
Did Trump drop prices as he promised? Nope, he ordered tariffs that you will be paying as a tax increase.
Did Trump improve the economy as he claimed he would day 1? Nope, he now admits you have to suffer long before you see any benefit from his trade war. (Hint actual economists don’t agree there will ever be a benefit from his isolationist economic policies)
Conservatives lied to you about climate change. They lied to about COVID. They lied to you about Vaccines. They lied to you that voter fraud in 2020 election. They lied to about how immigration actually works (yes it requires due process if law). They lied to you about how tariffs work. They lied to you about how science works. They lied to about how DEI works.
Heck Trump tried to tell you gas was 1.98 per gallon? He tried to tell you groceries were cheaper? He tried to tell you the declining economy was Biden’s fault.
But most important, conservatoves lie and tell you they care about the working class.
How many blue pills do you have to swallow per day to have that degree of mental strabismus, Chris?
Truth hurts doesn’t J Sobran.
Hilarious JS ! Good one! Even I had to look up “strabismus” – but it’s just the right word for Chrissy the Mental Case.
Extremely well-said salt life. It is interesting that Chris is focused on economic wobbles (the economy Trump inherited has serious structural problems, masked by the Obiden administration deficit spending to the tune of 7% of GDP!)…instead of the pervasive and deep corruption and lying of the Obiden administration that is being manifest daily.
The previous administration (for which Biden was the figurehead) had much more in common with organized crime than differences.
You do realize Trump negotiated a number of these trade deals when he was in office the first time right?
You do realize that republicans have historically had greater deficit spending than democrats dating back to Reagan?
Facts J Sobran. Just facts. Sorry they get in the way of the lies the conservatives have been feeding you for decades.
But you be you
Now that the leftist globalist democrats are out of the Whitehouse, we are beginning to get a glimpse of the true damage done to our economy and society. The printing presses have stopped spewing inflationary funny money, DEI has been unmasked and the leftist propagandists have retreated, mostly.
You, like all conservatives are totally projecting. If in fact Biden had done anything to “weaponize” government against you insurgents, trump would have been in prison before the end of 21′. You people are just chock full of delusions, you really need to get a diagnosis of what in the hell is wrong with you. As far as “long term gains”, there will not be any for the average American, only for the oligarchs. You folks are trapped in a bubble of lies, a pretty hopeless lot you are bro.
Where did this idiot come from
I believe Trump was born in NYC.
Who knows, but he pollutes these columns on a daily basis. It’s part of the price we pay for free speech – which The Rhino permits and celebrates, thank God (and Scott).
Dow Jones – 41,218.83 (High in 2015 was 18,312.39; 2000 11,722.98; 1995 5,216.47)
National Avg. Gas – $3.16
NC Avg. Gas – 2.88
US Dollar Index was lower in Oct. 2024 than today at 99.787
New order for US manufactured goods surged by 4.3% from the previous month
Employment rate April 2025 was same as July, Aug, Oct & Dec of 2024 @ 60%
China is the third largest trading partner, generally trading 14% or less of agricultural goods
Shipping is beginning to drop, but that’s just beginning to be affected by tariffs. (“Year after year” drops can’t be blamed on tariffs as they’ve just gone into effect. There are many factors involved in shipping issues including strikes, labor shortages, access to the Canal, hijacked ships in the mid-east, drops in consumer purchases, overstock from COVID shipments in warehouses).
(Various government and MSNBC economic Google sites were used for information. Look ’em up yourself).
AND – “…a recent study led by Dr. Wang and Prof. Shen at Tongji University has found a surprising shift: between 2021 and 2023, the AIS experienced a record-breaking increase in overall mass… a significant reversal occurred thereafter, driven by anomalous precipitation accumulation, the AIS gained mass at a rate of 107.79±74.90 Gt/yr between 2021 and 2023.” (whatever that means) (By Science China PressApril 29, 2025)
Nothing will be solved “on day one”. Every politician who says this is lying, and every politician lies. Biden did not leave Trump with a bang-up economy. The price of eggs was too damn high, as were the gas prices, the cost of free speech for anyone that misgendered someone, the price to utilize one’s right to carry a firearm without infringement, or the right to freely travel or visit or attend events without having mandated a medical vaccine one didn’t agree with. It was time for a change, and most people in the US voted for that change. So here we are.
People disagreed with the laws the Biden Administration made, but had to live with them. People will disagree with the laws the Trump Administration is making, but they will have to live with them. That’s how government works. As long as the Supreme Court decides the laws fit within the Constitution, if Congress approves laws and the President signs them, if the President signs Executive Orders, we as citizens have to follow them until the next election. Them’s the rules.
We may write to the President, our representatives, the Rhino, SCOTUS, and other media, and we should. We can learn from other people’s ideas, share our views, and see that most of us want what is best for our country, community, and families.
I still think we should all sit down at some coffee shop and talk for a while. We’re more alike than not.
I always appreciate your taking the time to provide a detailed mature response versus the typical name calling that conservatives knee jerk with here in the RT comment section.
– Stock market is off by 4k from its peak while other world markets are well above their Jan 1 levels. The volatility index is also at its high since the low during the global covid inflation spike. But agree the market is very much wait and see given how Trump tends to back track quickly on tariffs once the actual effects are felt and noise level goes up.
– I disagree on your take with agriculture orders as many contracts are well out into the future and given Trump’s continue promise to ‘punish China’ orders have dropped as a direct result of tariffs. My analysis was limited to future contracts versus actual shipping levels today.
– I don’t buy into the ‘every president lies’ as I truly believe no president has lied on the scale that Trump has lied and continues to lie to the American people. The lie about mass fraud in 2020 election being the most unforgivable. Not to mention that Trumps fraud convictions validate his use of lies as a normal business model.
– Was the Biden economy perfect. Nope, but it was heading in the right direction and certainly wasn’t the disaster that Trump and his followers want to believe. Eggs was never a long-term or economic problem. It was a health problem that was being addressed using standard practices. Housing remains the biggest problem, yet Trump offers no solution. His lie about immigrants being the cause of housing prices is just that, a lie.
– The issue is Trump is NOT writing laws. He has pushed no legislation. He has only pushed executive orders which are NOT laws. It is silly to say Trump is passing laws. He is ignoring laws. Period. We as citizens to NOT follow executive orders. Only his cabinet has to follow executive orders. Trump is not my boss. We as citizens have the Right to protest and the courts have the duty to block any illegal orders.
Thank you again for your mature response. We need more of this type of exchange. Well done.
Thank you for dealing with facts instead of mostly slander. I do enjoy reading this publication, however without you chiming in with a reasonable response, I wouldn’t. And I have always considered myself conservative.
Biden left us with a great employment rate, decent real wage growth , a stronger dollar and lower inflation. I needed that man for our economic future. Not uncertainty that Trump Tariffs bring along with job losses, inflation and a declining economy.
Here’s what you REALLY voted for: Higher prices and lower wages for you, tax cuts for the obscenely wealthy, cuts to any programs that help Americans, and empowerment of all the deranged crazies in the MAGA movement. That’s about it. Oh, and also, lest I forget, the cratering of America’s credibility and influence in the world, can’t forget that one because it has long term implications.
Another Liberal whinner. Just sit down relax and see what really becomes of what the President is doing. Stop reacting to everything that doesn’t fit you reality or belief.
Don’t you just love these liberal whinners. Nothing goes their way they complain or trash the person. I say shut up relax in your chair and let the President do his job.
Repeating facts isn’t whining unless you have your head in the sand and ignore the facts.
But you be you.
What facts? He has done more in the first hundred day than Biden did in 4 years. So, he cleaning up the mess Democrats left him with. You may not like what he’s doing but stop complaining and giving him a chance.
Biden actually cleaned up the economic mess Trump left behind.
i provide a long list of real facts / data points and all Gary can do is say is ‘nuh-uh’ and then offer no facts, data, or any real basis for his opinion. Typical hollow comment from a conservative with their head in the sand. Not shocked.
But you be you.
Trump is paying illegals to leave on their own. Great idea! Can we also pay the “Squad” members and Chris to go as well?
My price is $12 million. Go ahead and start a gofundme campaign. LMAO
Trump’s Hundred-Day Triumph
One hundred days, a dazzling spree,
Stocks drop—who needs prosperity?
While foreign markets rise, we win
Less greed, more humble discipline!
Dollar plunging—pure delight!
Now vacations cost just right.
Job growth halved? Let’s celebrate!
More time off is simply great.
Consumer mood is on the floor,
Who needs confidence galore?
GDP sinks, tariff blows,
Soybeans rot—our patience grows!
Ships vanish from our ports, serene,
Truckers rest; shelves stay clean.
Trump blames Biden—brilliant spin,
Economy’s tanked? Well done, again!
Trade wars raging, friendships strained,
Who needs allies? Isolation gained.
From Biden’s strength, Trump saves the day—
Ruins built the Trumpian way!

You should write a book.
After the last four years, pain is unavoidable to right the wrongs that the Biden administration and the entrenched political establishment, often referred to as ‘swamp rats’, have placed upon our country.
Trump’s first term was a baptism of fire for a non-politician, as he had to navigate the treacherous waters of both political parties, particularly the corrupt FBI, which was relentless in its pursuit of him and his supporters. His resilience and determination in the face of such challenges are not just commendable, but they are also a source of inspiration and hope for the future.
With Trump’s return, a beacon of hope shines bright. His aggressive approach and refusal to hold back when dealing with those who illegally betrayed him are reasons for optimism and instill confidence in his leadership.
Trump must use his full institutional powers to punish what he sees as abuses and work with Congress to investigate, defund, or hold accountable the people and agencies involved. Our country needs this no-holds-barred approach. Crooked Judge Boasberg believes he is the sitting president and a policymaker. He is neither.
Funny Trump didn’t say that when he ran for office. So much for the ‘he does what he says BS’.
It will take decades to restore the good faith of the US government after Trump’s bully approach to foreign relations has alienated our longtime allies and trading partners. There is a reason most US banks won’t do business with Trump. Now the US will have the same stain of dishonesty, lack of loyalty and untrustworthiness.
The blind willful ignorance of Trumpers is amazing.
But you be you
None are so blind as those who will not see.
Well said. If you take your head out of the sand Austin, YOU will see the truth. Until then I am here to correct your lies, misinformation and bigotry. Happy to help!
But you are the liar, aren’t you? You wrote vile lies about me in the comments under the “Translation costs Guilford County” article, and boasted that you’d provide links to back up your smears. So I called your bluff – because I knew they were lies – and you COULDN’T PROVIDE A SINGLE LINK. Because you lied. You lie all the time.
I encourage readers to go check it out. It’s there in black & white.
Go ahead Austin. Answer the question: When you falsely claim that Africans are genetically less intelligent that Europeans, does that include African Americans?
This is the fifth time I have asked and for some reason you duck the question.
Deflect & Digress…. Deflect & Digress… That’s what losers like you do when they’ve finally been cornered and cannot back up their lies. You’re pathetic, absolutely pathetic.
PS
We had that debate a long time ago, and I’m not rehashing it.
– Hey, where’s that link you promised us, liar boy?
You never answered that question. Hmmmm. I wonder why? Oh right…..
Why don’t you just apologise, since you cannot provide any link – which you promised – to back up your nasty lies about me?
C’mon, do the right thing. Say you’re sorry and that your smears were untrue.
You’ll feel better, and I’ll accept your apology.
Answer the question and we won’t need the link. Come on. No one else is visiting this thread anymore.
I keep hearing about how terrible the tariffs are. Here’s simple solution…don’t but the stuff. Are thre tariffs on American made products? If so, please list them.
Just so clear up your ignorance yet again. While many things ARE made in the US, they often require raw materials and parts/components that are made overseas. So, for example:
Ford Trucks are ‘made’ in the US. Yet much of the steel, aluminum and parts are made offshore. What’s really amazing is that many of the parts travel back and forth over the boarder multiple times.
I think Axekick has it partially right. Trumps greatest weakness AND strength is the ignorance of his supporters like Alan.
Trump tells them all campaign how he is going to ‘fix’ the economy (which was actually doing well and improving under Biden) but never bothered to tell them that he was going to make this suffer in order to ‘fix’ the economy. The scary part is what he still isn’t telling his followers / cult members…..he has no plans to fix the economy. His changes will have a long last negative impact on America. He is just going to us his power to beef up his personal wealth for his kids. (just check out his crypto scam)
Trump is robbing the US economy blind and the willful ignorance of his followers are allowing it to happen.
Thanks Alan. You are to blame.
Chris, “Just so clear up your ignorance yet again….”
Ah, classic Chris. Calling someone ignorant in a commentary filled with typos. He is ignorance personified.
LOL I do make typos (especially when on my phone). But funny you couldn’t refute the obvious truth of my statement. Classic duck and dodge by conservatives.
But you be you.
His English displays his intellect. His Inner Child can’t get over the fact that he’s not as smart as he thinks he is. When his obtuseness is unveiled in these columns, he becomes angry and ultimately, completely unglued.
He can’t deal with the fact that he possesses only a middling intellect.
Trumps greatest weakness are his supporters.
Is grammar yours?
It will take more than 100 days for Trump to fix what mumbling Biden and Dems destroyed in 4 years. The flow of illegals helped kill the economy with healthcare just to name one. Anyone who thinks we will be worse off in the next 3 plus years should go ahead and pack up and move out of the US, so those of us who believe things will get better will continue to enjoy our freedom and lack of illegals causing crime and disrupting our economy and lower prices, better economy and less Dems complaining. Just the Waste, Fraud and Abuse Doge has uncovered is helping right the ship. Less money being sent to foreign countries will now be used to help NC recover to start with. Let’s clean up the US, Dems and help people born here and work here.
How is Trump fixing the low unemployment he left for Trump? Trump isn’t, he is slowing employment and good chance of increasing unemployment.
How is Trump fixing consumer confidence? He isn’t, it is tanking.
How is Trump fixing record stock markets left by Biden? US now has the only market index that is at a YTD loss for any of the major stock indexes.
How is Trump fixing the global inflation issue Biden resolved? He isn’t, he is slowing the US economy and likely will cause inflation to rise.
How is Trump fixing global relations? He isn’t. He is allientating the US from its long time allies for the benefit of our long time enemies.
So be specific David. I notice how much conservatives like to say Biden was destroying the US but have no examples other than their fear mongering about immigrants (which Biden resolved before leaving office) and inflation (which Bidem resolved before leaving office).
Or are you just repeating the hollow propaganda made popular on conservative media.
Mr. Rice, I must assume that Tillis is your hero for obstructing the President that the majority elected?

Brilliant comment. Just brilliant.
If you dare, read my comments below. the majority of items on this list are direct failures themselves, big nothing burgers fixing problems that only exist in the conspiracy minded conservative, or just hollow orders that have and will accomplish very little if anything.
I do think there were a handful of good ideas in the list but I think it’s less than 10% of total although I did not count.
But you be you.
First and foremost, executive orders are not accomplishments. They are just directives written down that will be tossed out by the next Yuck that takes office.
But to give a more liberal take on what you call accomplishments I will focus more on the results or outcomes which are what really matter. (My replies are types in CAPs to tell the difference between your list and my take) Happy reading!
Securing the Border and Deporting Criminals
1. Signed the Laken Riley Act into law. THIS BILL DOESN’T NOTHING TO PROTECT ANYONE. THEY WOULD HAVE FACED JUSTICE THE SAME AS NATURAL CITIZENS AND MAJORITY OF STATE DEPORT CRIMINALS AS A GENERAL PRACTICE. YET ANOTHER HOLLOW BILL BY CONSERVATIVES.
2. Reduced southern border encounters to one of the lowest levels in American history. IDBEN REDUCED ENCOUNTERS TOO BEFORE LEAVING OFFICE. BUT NOW THAT WE NO LONGER ALLOW ASYLUM REQUESTS, THEY ACTUALL AVOID BEING ‘ENCOUNTERED’ WHEN THEY USED TO ACTUALLY SEEK OUT BORDER AGENTS SO THEY COULD DECLARE ASYLUM. (the immigration bill Biden wanted would have done the same thing without all the extra cost of the surge in border agents, military etc… that mostly sit around doing nothing now.
3. Deported more at-large illegal aliens (those arrested in the interior USA) in February 2025 than Biden did in all of FY2024. TRUMP ALSO HAS DEPORTED LEGAL IMMIGRATNS (REFUGEES), IMMIGRANTS UNDER PROTECTED STATUS AND US CITIZENS BECAUSE HE DOESN’T BELIEVE DUE PROCESS OF LAW SHOULD APPLY TO THE ‘TYPE’ OF PEOPLE HE DOESN’T LIKE.
4. Ended dangerous “catch-and-release.” BIDEN BILL WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING BUT TRUMP NEEDED THE CAMPAIGN ISSUE SO INSTEAD OF A LAW FIXING IMMIGRATION TRUMP USES EXPENSIVE BRUTE FORCE APPROACH.
5. Reimplemented the ‘Remain in Mexico’ program. THEY JUST TRY AND TRY AGAIN….AND THIS TIME THEY AVOID IMMIGRATION OFFICALS.
6. Moved to end birthright citizenship. DUMMY THINKS HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER CHANGE A CONSTITUTIONAL ADMENDMENT. SO HIS EO ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING BUT EMBARASSING HIMSELF AS THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO TRY TO OVERRULE THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATE WITH AND EO.
7. Turned the CBP One App into the CBP Home App to facilitate self-deportations. THIS IS A GOOD IDEA.
8. Opened Guantanamo Bay for illegal alien detentions. DETERMINED ILLEGAL AND ALL IMMIGRANTS THAT WERE THERE WERE RETURNED TO THE US SO THIS IS BY DEFINITION A FAILURE.
9. Designated English as the official language of the United States. MAKE ZERO DIFFERENCE TO ANYONE. JUST ANOTHER HOLLOW ORDER FROM A HOLLOW MAN.
10. Issued an executive order preserving federal benefits for American citizens only. DIDN’T CHANGE ANYTHING AS THIS REQUIRES CHANGE IN US LAW WHICH DOESN’T ALLOW IMMIGRATNS ACCESS TO FEDERAL BENEFITS. JUST ANOTHER HOLLOW ORDER FORM A HOLLOW MAN. LEGAL IMMIGRANTS DO HAVE SOME ACCESS AND HIS EO DOESN’T CHANGE THAT.
11. Revoked visas of foreign students at American universities who support Hamas, exhibit antisemitic behavior. VILOATING 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AS NO STUDENT PROTEST ENDANGED ANYONE AND HE IS LOSING THESE FIGHTS IN COURT. YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A FAILURE
12. Ordered the reduction of admissible refugees in the refugee admissions program. HIS DEPORTING OF REFUGEES JUST BECAUSE HE DOESN’T LIKE ‘THOSE TYPES OF PEOPLE’ IS BEING REVERSED BY THE COURTS AND REFUGEES ARE NOW ALLOW TO RETURN. YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF AN ACTUAL FAILURE
13. Moved to end DOJ-administered funding to state and local sanctuary jurisdictions. GUESS CONSERVATIVE DON’T BELIEVE IN STATES RIGHTS AND SO FAR THIS HAS HAD ZERO EFFECT ON ANYTHING AS HIS DEFINTION OF STANCUARY CITY IS BS. ALSO HAS BEEN FLAGGED AS LIKELY UNCONSITUTIONAL AND IS BLOCKED BY COURTS. SO MUCH FOR THE PARTY THAT LOVES THE CONSTITUTION
14. Reached an agreement with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele to “take back all MS-13 gang members who are in the United State unlawfully… [and] to accept and incarcerate violent illegal immigrants… from any country.” VIOLATES ANY SENSE OF DUE PROCESS OF LAW AS EVEN THE WORST CRIMINALS IN US HAVE THE RIGHT TO DUE PROCESS OF LAW. AGAIN VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. GUESS IT’S THE DEMOCRATS WHO ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION.
15. Designated multiple international cartels such as Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs). MAKES TO CHANGE TO ANYTHING JUST ANOTHER HOLLOW ORDER THAT CHANGES NOTHING.
16. Leveraged tariffs to pressure Canada and Mexico into increasing border security. QUICKLY REVERSED TARIFFS ONCE THE MARKETS MADE CLEAR HOW STUPID THE IDEA WAS. YET ANOTHER ACTUAL EXAMPLE OF FAILURE THAT ONLY FOOLS THINK WAS A GOOD IDEA.
Improving National Defense and Security (NOTHING OF MERIT HERE…WE ARE JUST AS SECURE AS BEFORE. NO BETTER AND MAYBE A LITTLE WORSE DUE TO ALLIENATING OUR LONG-TERM ALLIES.
17. Revoked security clearances from those weaponizing government. JUST A PETTY ACT IMPORTALIZED IN WRITING THAT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO ANYTHING BUT TO SHOW TRUMP AS A THIN SKINNED OLD BABY.
18. Issued executive orders combating antisemitism. MORE HOLLOW EXECUTIVE ORDERS THAT DOESN’T CHANGE ANYTHING. IT BASICALLY TELLS FEDS TO DO THEIR JOB. THAT IT. WHAT EVER BOOMER.
19. Directed the Department of Defense to reprioritize merit and lethality inthe U.S. military and restore military excellence and readiness. US MILITARY HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXCELLENT AND READY. JUST ANOTHER HOLLOW ORDER TO ACCOMPLISHES NOTHING
20. Ordered the construction of the Golden Dome. A VERY EXPENSIVE SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM THAT DOESN’T EXIST. WILL NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPEN.
21. Reinstated service members who had been discharged over the COVID vaccine. PETTY ACTION THAT MAKES VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE FOR ANYONE BUT A VERY SMALL HANDFUL OF PEOPLE THAT HADN’T ALREADY MOVE ON WITH THEIR LIVES. NOT TO MENTION THAT LACK OF ANY SCIENCE BEHIND ANTI VAX BS
22. Designated the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization. OK. NOT A BIG DEAL. BUT GUESS WHO IS THE WAR MONGER NOW….RIGHT, THE GUY DROPPING BOMBS. GUESS HE WAS JUST PROJECTING WHEN HE CLAIMED HARRIS WAS A WAR MONGER
23. Oversaw a historic recruitment resurgence in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. UPTICK ACTUALLY STARTED WELL BEFORE TRUMP TOOK OFFICE AND IS NORMAL EBB AND FLOW AS RESULT OF ECONOMY, LOWER RISK OF WAR TIME DEPLOYMENT AND OTHER NORMAL FACTORS
24. Ordered a halt to funding of NGOs that undermine the national interest. JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE UNCHRISTIAN NATURE OF CONSERVATIVES TO STOP CHARATBLE WORK WITH PEOPLE IN WAR TORN COUNTRIES CEEDING US SOFT POWER TO OTHER COUNTRIES. EVEN WITH THE CUTS, STILL INCREASED DEFICIT SPENDING.
25. Initiated the United States’ withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO)—a corrupt institution protecting China’s interests. ONE OF MANY ACTIONS BASED ON HOLLOW CONSPIRACY THEORIES. ONCE AN ADULT IS BACK IN EXECUTIVE OFFICE WE WILL RETURN.
26. Prioritized FMS and military aid and facilitated a new F-16 deal for the Philippines and Taiwan, key U.S. allies in the IndoPacific. COOL BUT WE ARE BEING DROPPED BY EUROPEAN DEFENSE PURCHASERS DUE TO OUR ALLIENATING OUR LONG-TERM ALLIES.
27. Appointed five Heritage Marshall Fellows to national security roles in the Trump administration. COOL
END OF THE DAY, WE ARE NO SAFER AND WERE NEVER IN ANY REAL DANGER FROM A NATIONAL SECURITY POINT OF VIEW. CHINA REMAIN THE THREAT AND TRUMP IS MAKING THEM STRONGER BY CEEDING SOFTWARE POWER TO THEM AS WE ABANDON USAID
28. Secured the release of American hostages from captivity in Russia, Venezuela, and Gaza. COOL. BIDEN ALSO NEGOTIATED RELEASE OF PRISONER FROM RUSSIA, GAZA, AND OTHER LOCATION FOR A TOTAL OF 70 US PRISONER BEING RELEASED. KINDA THE JOB OF US STATE DEPARTMENT UNDER ANY ADMINISTRATION
29. Eliminated USAID and deradicalized foreign aid. CEEDED SOFT POWER TO CHINA BY SHOWING HOW UNCHRISTIAN WE AS THE WEALTHIEST NATION IN THE WORD CAN BE. FAILURE.
30. Arrested the terrorist behind the 2021 Abbey Gate attack that killed 13 U.S. servicemembers. WEIRD, I ACTUALLY READ THAT PAKISTAN ACTUALLY CAPTURED THE LEADER BEHIND THE ATTACK AND THE TALIBAN KILLED OTHERS INVOLVED. STEALING CREDIT IS KINDA TRUMPS JAM.
31. Hosted foreign leaders from India, Israel, France, the United Kingdom, Jordan, Japan, El Salvador, Italy, and Ukraine at the White House. HE EMBARASSED THE US BY ATTACKING THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE IN THE OVAL OFFICE WITH SILLY REQUEST FOR ‘THANKS’ AND WANTING HIM TO ADMIT THE WAR WAS A LOSS? FAILURE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
32. Proposed a critical minerals deal with Ukraine in lead to peace in the Ukraine-Russia War and secure supplies of vital resources for the U.S. THIS WAS A COOL IDEA. ALTHOUGH HE PLAYED TO BULLY APPROACH TO NEGOTIATING WHICH YET AGAIN EMBARASSED THE US BY SHOWING HOW PETTY TRUMP CAN BE. BUT COOL RESULT. I THINK WE SHOULD DO THIS MORE OFTEN WITH COUNTRIES TO SUPPORT WITH EXPENSIVE MILITARY
33. Addressed human rights abuses in South Africa. HE CUT FUNDING THAT IT. OTHERWISE HE HAS DONE NOTHING FOR THEM. BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK ELON WOULD GET FOR HIS 200 MILLION. WHAT EVERY HE TELLS TRUMP TO DO IS WHAT. WAY TO SELL FOREIGN POLICY TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER TRUMP.
34. Advocated for the acquisition of Greenland and the Panama Canal. SINGLE BIGGEST EMBARASSMENT BY A US PRESIDENT EVER. SURPRISED YOU LEFT OUT HIS WANTING TO MAKE CANADA THE 51ST STATE. NONE OF THIS WILL EVER HAPPEN. FAILURE ALL ON FRONTS.
35. Pressured the Panamanian president into withdrawing from China’s Belt and Road Initiative. THIS IS A GOOD CALL. BUT CHINA STILL HAS TOO MUCH INFLUENCE OVER THE CANAL SO MORE TO DO FOR SURE
36. Restored the maximum pressure campaign on Iran to reverse Biden’s enrichment of the world’s leading funder of terrorism. HAS ACCOMPLISHED MUCH AND SO FAR LOOKS TO BE HEADED TO VERY SIMILAR DEAL THAT OBAMA NEGOTIATED WITH ONLY VERY SMALL CHANGES. WILL WAIT AND SEE SINCE NOT MUCH DONE AS YET
37. Imposed duties to address the synthetic opioid supply chain in the People’s Republic of China. DONE NOTHING TO CHANGE FLOW OF DRUGS AND DUTIES AND TARIFFS HAVE ONLY DISTRUPTED SUPPLIES CHAINS THAT WILL LEAD TO EMPTY SHELVES AND HIGHER PRICES IN US.
38. Directed the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to restrict Chinese investments in critical sectors, including technology, infrastructure, and agriculture, citing national security concerns. JUST A CONTINUATION OF THE BIDEN ACTIONS SUCH AS THE CHIPS ACT
39. Pressured NATO allies to increase defense spending. MEANS TO AN END. EURPOSE HAS NOW REDUCED USING US DEFENSE CONTRACTORS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AS US NOW SEEN AS UNRELIABLE ALLIANCE DUE TO TRUMPS ACTIONS. FAILURE AT A GRAND SCALE.
40. Implemented a one voice policy for foreign relations. SO ONE VOICE = TRUMPS VOICE AND HE HAS SHOWN MUCH POOR JUDGEMENT RECENTLY IN HANDLING OF FOREIGN RELATIONS. KINDA LIKE HE WANTS TO BE A DICTATOR. BAD IDEA
41. Issued an executive order to modernize defense acquisitions and spur innovation in the defense industrial base. NO NOTHING ORDER THAT HAS LITTLE IMPACT ON ANYTHING. LIKE A BOSS SAYING….GO DO YOUR JOB BUT DO IT BETTER. THAT’S IT.
Economy (FUNNY HOW YOU LEAVE OUT THE GLOBAL TRADE WAR STRATEGY TO DESTROY US ECONOMY)
42. Used DOGE to streamline government operations and improve efficiency of public services, saving billions. SAID THEY WOULD SAVE 2 TRILLION BUT ONLY CUT A SMALL FRACTION WITH SEVERAL EMBARASSMENTS ALONG THE WAY YET TRUMP HAS STILL MANAGED TO SPEND MORE MONEY THAN THIS TIME LAST YEAR OR THE YEAR BEFORE THAT…… SO MUCH FOR CUTTING SPENDING.
43. Reduced the scope of various federal agencies to their statutorily required components and functions. LONG-TERM IMPACTS OF MANY OF THESE CUTS HURT HARD WORKING AMERICANS. MOST NOTABLY SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION. AS THE EASY EXAMPLE.
44. Eased inflation in February, with consumer prices rising at a slower pace, signaling potential relief for households and businesses. BIDEN DROPPED INFLATION AFTER THE SPIKE DUE TO GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, TRUMP OVER-SPENDING AND BIDEN’S OVER SPENDING. AND DID IT WITHOUT CAUSING A RECESSION WHICH TRUMP SAID BIDEN’S PLAN WOULD LEAD TO A DEPRESSION. BUT TRUMPS TRADE WOULD WILL END OF LEADING TO INLFATION MOST LIKELY. TOO EARLY TO TELL GIVEN HOW HE KEEPS CHANGING HIS APPROACH EACH WEEK
45. Established an investment accelerator to facilitate investment in the U.S. economy. NOTHING HAS COME OF THIS TO DATE BUT NOT SHOCKED SINCE HE HAS STARTED A TRADE WAR WITH THE WORLD LEAVING ECONOMIES IN QUESTION ACROSS THE WORLD.
46. Modernized payments to the U.S. bank account and implemented fraud prevention measures. WHAT A CON HE HAS CREATED HIS OWN BITCOINS TO PERSONALLY PROFIT FROM HIS OFFICE WITH ZERO TRANSPARENCY. GET OUTTA HERE WITH THIS BS. BUT SURE, NO MORE CHECKS WHICH WERE DIGITALLY CLEARED BY LOCKBOX ANYWAY. BIG DEAL. BUT NOT AWFUL
47. Consolidated federal procurement in the GSA to improve efficiency and eliminate waste. I THOUGHT DOGE ELIMINATED WASTE? OH RIGHT, THEY NEVER FOUND WASTE. JUST PROGRAMS THEY DIDN’T LIKE DUE TO THEIR MISINFOMRATION ABOUT DEI ETC…..
Tech (I DOUBT TRUMP HAS ANY IDEA HOW ANY TECH ACTUALLY WORKS)
48. Brought Meta to trial for illegally maintaining its personal networking monopoly. LAWSUIT HAS MINIMAL CHANCE OF WINNING SADLY. BUT I AM A FAN OF THEM TRYING
49. Garnered over $1.5 trillion in new chips and AI investment in the United States. CHIPS ACT WAS A BIDEN THING THAT TRUMP WANTED TO CANCEL BUT HOW TAKES CREDIT FOR ANY NEW CHIPS INBESTEMENTS IN THE US. LOL WHAT EVER. GLAD TO SEE BIDEN ACTION WORKING.
50. Rescinded a 2023 Biden order that imposed “onerous and unnecessary government control” over AI development. HE REVERSES EXECUTIVE ODER AND THE NEXT YUCK WILL ERAISE OF THESE EXECUTIVE ORDERS. BIG DEAL. AI NEEDS TO BE REGULATED BUT I DOUBT TRUMP HAS A CLUE HOW TO PRIORITIZE THE NEED. GOOD LUCK WITH THE LACK OF REGULATION FROM THE PARTY THAT DIDN’T UNDERSTAND HOW GOOGLE PRIORITIZES SEARCH RESULTS…..AS IF IT WAS A HARD CODED RULES ENGINE OR SOMETHING STUPID LIKE THAT…..HINT, IT WAS AI AND AI DOESN’T TELL YOU WHY IT DOES WHAT IT DOES. IT JUST DOES IT.
51. Launched an FTC investigation into Big Tech’s censorship of Americans. CHASING A HOLLOW CONSPIARY THEORY….SEE COMMENT ABOVE BUT THIS WOULD TAKE A MUCH LONGER SPACE TO WRITE UP HOW SILLY CONSERVATIVES ARE ON THIS SUBJECT OF HOW SEARCH AND SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS PRIOARITIZE.
52. Issued an order promoting the development of AI “free from ideological bias or engineered social agendas.” OH SO HE DOES WANT TO REGULATE AI? WHICH IS IT? BUT TO BE CLEAR, YOU GIVE THE AI DATA AND IT LEARNS FROM THE DATA….NOT WHAT ITS TOLD TO LEARN BUT WHAT THE DATA SAYS. HOLLOW EO BY A HOLLOW PERSON.
This individual Chris is becoming increasingly unglued and hysterical. Now he’s reduced to “shouting” everything in Upper Case.
He has mental health issues, and they’re exacerbated when people dare disagree with him.
He belongs in a rubber room, where he can take out his anger on the walls.
Chris has way too much time on his hands.
Calling out the false narratives and ignorance of the local conservatives on the Rhino Times is a calling. LMAO. Worth every minute of time required. (note it doesn’t take much effort).
Chris is the Chat GPT master. Simply copies and pastes everyone’s comments and says alter them to fit a particular narrative. It’s all In the way you word the question to GPT. He will probably tell you GPT is spitting facts when in fact it spits whatever you tell it you want.
I explained that the CAPs was to make it easier to determine the original text from his ChatGPT response versus my response to false narrative the Executive orders are accomplishments in themselves.
But I understand you struggle with reading as Alan does. You two make such a cute couple. Aussey and Alan sitting in a tree….K.I.S.S.I.N.G. LMAO
But you be you.
How childish can you get..?? How old are you? Seven?
And Wayne is right. You need to get a life, Loser.
Says the childish bully who calls me names here on a daily basis like he is on the grade school playground.
Have fun with it or just stop. Not complicated.
Everyone can see who the infantile asshole is.
Yes. Yes they can.
Best wishes to you.
Energy
53. Reconsidered the EPA’s 2009 endangerment finding, which provides the legal foundation for an array of climate change rules. CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL.

54. Announced 31 deregulatory actions targeting various environmental regulations. THE EVIRONMENT IS OUR MOST VITAL RESOURCE AND REQUIRES REGULATION TO PROTECT IT FROM BIG BUSINESS WHO HAS A LONG TRACK RECORD OF DESTROYING LAND, AIR AND WATER. FAILURE BY TRUMP
55. Targeted power plant regulations that were forcing coal power plant closures and disincentivizing new natural gas plants. COAL IS OLD DATED TECH THAT IS AWFUL FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND TOO EXPENSIVE VERSUS LOWER COST NATURAL GAS. CLEAN COAL NEVER EXISTED NO MATTER HOW MUCH TRUMP BELIEVED YOU COULD ACTUAL ‘WASH’ THE COAL. FAILURE
56. Rescinded electric vehicle mandates and the social cost of carbon metric. MANDATE WEREN’T WORKING ANYWAY BUT THE REAL LOSS OF THE CUTTING OF THE INVESTMENT INFRASTRUCTURE TO BETTER ENABLE THE TRANSITION TO EVS. GOOD NEWS IS CAR COMPANIES ARE STILL INVESTING IN IMPROVING THE TECH SO THE TRANSITION WILL STILL HAPPEN FOR A GOOD PERCENTAGE OF DRIVEER OVER TIME.
57. Signed an executive order unleashing American energy. HOLLOW ORDER. US ENGERY PRODUCTION WAS AT RECORD LEVELS UNDER BIDEN. TRUMPS SLOWING OF THE WORLD ECONOMY WITH A TRADE WAR WILL TANK PRICE OF OIL AND BREAK ENERGY COMPANIES AGAIN AS HAPPENED DURING COVID. FAILURE BY TRUMP
58. Withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement. CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL. MAN MADE AND NEEDS TO BE PRIOARITY. FAILURE BY TRUMP BECAUSE HE LIKELY FAILED SCIENCE IN GRADE SCHOOL. (OR ACTUALLY JUST PAID OFF BY BIG OIL)

62. Removed funding for EV charging stations (which benefit upper income earners at the expense of all taxpayers). GOVERNMENT INVESMENT IS REQUIRED TO HELP THE TRANISTION TO EVS BUT THANKFULLY INVESTMENT CONTINUES BY THOSE THAT ACTUALY BELIEVE IN CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE NEED FOR CHANGE. FAILURE BY TRUMP
63. Rolled back unnecessary, costly, and obsolete energy efficiency mandates through executive order and DOGE cuts and called on Congress to make his changes permanent. STUPID AND HURTS PROGESS WITH IMPORTANCE OF NEEDED CHANGE IN ENERGY STRATEGY FOR OUR FUTURE. FAILURE BY TRUMP AND ANTI SCIENCE NUTTERS
64. Paused and reviewed all IRA subsidies and has consistently called to revoke them. KINDA REPEATITVE TO THE COMMENTS ABOVE SO ANSWER IS THE SAME. FAILURE BY TRUMP AND ANTI SCIENCE NUTTERS THAT SUPPORT TRUMP’S ANTI SCIENCE STUPID CONSPIRACY THEORIES.
65. Provided significant regulatory relief to America’s coal industry, allowing the continued and expanded use of that critical energy source. DOUBLE UP ON THIS ONE TOO…..SEE COMMENTS ABOVE. FAILURE BY TRUMP
Education
66. Issued an executive order to end the Department of Education, returned many Department of Education duties to the states. STATES ALREADY HAD CONTROL OF EDUCATION IN THEIR STATES. DOE WAS MOSTLY ABOUT FEDERAL SUPPORT PROGRAMS THAT NOW CUT WILL EITHER HURT STATE BUDGETS OR JUST FURTHER REDUCE THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION IN THE US. HUGE FAILURE BY TRUMP
67. Reduced the workforce at the Department of Education. SEE ABOVE COMMENT.
68. Froze federal funding to Columbia and other schools that have failed to counter antisemitism. FEDERAL OVERREACH FOR WHAT WAS NOT A MAJOR ISSUE BUT WILL HAVE DRAMATIC NEGATIVE EFFECT ON HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE US. MAJOR FAILURE BUT CONSERVATIVE NEED AN IGNORANT BASE TO KEEP POWER.
69. Froze federal funding for Harvard for not complying with federal anti-discrimination law. SAME STUPID ACTION AS ABOVE.
70. Issued a recissions request to Congress to cut funding for NPR and PBS. LONG TIME COMING.

NOT AN AWFUL THING TO DO BUT SAD JUST THE SAME FOR BIG BIRD AND COMPANY
71. Expanded school choice in areas under federal jurisdiction. WILL JUST ADD MORE FINANCIAL STRESS TO PUBLIC EDUCATION AND REDUCE ANY HOPE OF EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION FOR UNDER PRIVLEDGED BUT CONSERVATIVE HAVE NEVER CARED ABOUT UNDER PRIVELEDGED. WILL HURT RUAL COMMUNITIES THE MOST.
Social Issues
72. Issued an order recognizing male and female as the only two sexes. ANTI SCIENCE FEAR ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IMPACTS VERY FEW PEOPLE IS AN EMBARSSMENT TO THE OFFICE.
73. Directed the Department of Education to eliminate federal funding for DEI and gender ideology in K-12 schools. DIVERSITY IS IMPORTANT AND LARGELY MISPRESENTED BY THE RIGHT ALTHOUGH I TEND TO BELIEVE MOST DEI PROGRAMS FAIL TO DELIVERY TANGIBLE RESULTS BUT STILL NOTHING MORE THAN A FAKE BOOGEYMAN FOR CONSERVATIVE TO HARP ABOUT GIVEN HOW WELL BIDEN DID WITH THE FIXING THE POST COVID ECONOMY (YES HE DID, THE NUMBERS PROVE IT)
74. Banned transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s sports. ALL SIX OF THEM! WOW! BIG DEAL. BUT I DO AGREE THAT TRANSGENDERS DON’T FIT INTO WOMENS SPORTS JUST AS THERE ARE A HUNDRED OTHER GENETIC TRAITS THAT KEEP MEN OUT OF MENS D1 SPORTS.
75. Pardoned 23 pro-life protestors wrongly prosecuted for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. SO MUCH FOR THE PARTY OF JUSTICE. DON’T DO THE CRIME IF YOU CAN’T DO THE CRIME. JUST MORE SELECTIVE JUSTICE BY THE RIGHT
76. Banned DEI in the federal government and recommitted to a colorblind view of civil rights. MORE BOOGEYMAN POLITICS FROM THE RIGHT AS THEY ATTEMPT TO WHITE WASH THE HISTORICAL IMPACT OF RACISM IN OUR COUNTRY.
77. Pardoned and released all individuals convicted of or imprisoned for offenses related to Jan. 6. JUST MORE SELECTIVE JUSTICE FOR RIOTERS THAT SUPPORT TRUMPS CAUSE VERSUS RIOTERS WHO SUPPORTED BLM. PATHETIC FAILURE BY TRUMP

I PREFER MY GENERAL WIN THEIR WARS VERSUS THE LOSERS THAT LOST THE CIVIL WAR AFTER BEING TRAITORS TO OUR GREAT COUNTRY. IF THEM HAVING A STATUE MAKES YOU HAPPY YOU ARE WEIRD.
80. Reformed public service loan forgiveness to exclude organizations that have substantial illegal purposes. THE GROUPS TARGETED AS ILLEGAL ARE ACTUAL LEGAL BUT TRUMP DOESN’T LIKE WHO THEY STAND UP FOR SUCH AS IMMIGRANTS AND PROTESTERS. FEELS MORE LIKE A VIOLATION OF 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS
81. Ended COVID-19 vaccine mandates in schools. THIS ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE GIVEN THE DECLINING RISK OF COVID NOW.
82. Ordered a return to merit-based hiring at the FAA. A FIX FOR A PROBLEM THAT DOESN’T EXIST. FAA WAS ACTUALLY VERY SELECTIVE TO THE POINT THEY REJECTED SO MANY APPLICANTS THEY WERE SHORT STAFFED……..AAAAAAAND THEN DOGE CUT THEM BACK EVEN MORE. FAILURE BASED ON IGNORANCE OF ACTUAL FAA POLICY AND RESPONSBILITIES BECAUSE ELON IS NOT A GENSIS BUT A FOOL.

84. Revoked Biden EOs on the Hyde Amendment and ordered that the amendment be enforced—officially ending DoD’s illegal abortion reimbursement policy. JUST ANOTHER RESTRICTION ON THE RIGHT TO CHOSE WHEN TO HAVE A CHILD BY THE RIGHT WHO THINK THEY NOW WHAT’S RIGHT FOR WOMEN AND KNOW BETTER THAN DOCTORS.
85. Ordered universities to stop illegal DEI practices. THERE WAS NOTHING ILLEGAL ABOUT DEI. CONSERVATIVE HAVE LONG MISREPRESENTED DEI IN ORDER TO HAVE A FAKE BOOGEYMAN TO BLAME AGNTRY WHITE VOTERS FOR THEIR STRUGGLES.
Other

ALLOWED ONLINE PERSONALITIES THAT WERE KNOWINGLY FUNDED BY RUSSIA PROPAGANDA AGENCIES AS WELL AS VIOLATED FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS OF NEWS MEDIA FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THEY WERE CRITICAL OF HIM IN THEIR WRITING….1ST AMENDMENT IS THE MOST IMPORANT RIGHT IN THE US THAT MAKES US SPECIAL COMPARED TO OTHER COUNTRIES. THANKFULY THE COURTS HAVE BLOCKED THIS AND FORCE WHITEHOSE TO ALLOW BACK THOSE KICKED OUT. FAILURE BY DEFINITION

89. Secured America’s elections by ordering enforcement of the citizenship requirement and voter identity verification. WAS ALREADY THE LAW BE TO A CITIZEN TO VOTE IN FEDERAL ELECTIONS AND THE STRICT VOTER IDEWNTITY WILL ONLY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO VOTE. ESPECIALLY FOR MARRIED WOMEN (WHO TEND TO VOTE DEMOCRAT) NOT SHOCKED BUT THE COURTS ARE LEANING TO BLOCK SO STILL HAVE HOPE THIS FAILURE WILL BE REVERSED.
90. Ordered enforcement of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c) to reduce frivolous lawsuits and sweeping injunctions. THIS IS RICH COMING FROM TURMP WHO IS FAMOUS FOR HIS LAWSUITS WHICH HS MOSTLY LOST. FOR EXMAPLE HIS BASELESS LAWSUITS ABOUT THE STOELN ELECTION THAT WASN’T STOLEN.

100. The countless other ways President Trump is fighting for Americans. We aren’t tired of winning! TRUMP IS AN EMBARSSMENT TO THE US GLOBALLY AND A RUNNING JOKE BY OTHER WORLD LEADERS WHO ONLY DRAW FEAR BECAUSE OF HIS ERRACTIC BEHAVIOR ENABLED BY THE COWARD CONSERVATIVES IN CONGRESS.
——
You know nobody’s reading your ranting rubbish, right? Or do you believe we’re all eagerly consuming your every utterance..?
You really are mentally ill, mate.
Great post, Ken!!!
I’ll add 101…with Trump’s help, we now make Popes in America.
You do realize that the new Pope specifically called out Trump’s for his mistreatment of immigrants. LOL
Sweetie Chris, checked the markets lately. Way up,China negotiating
You mean Trump caved again seeding to China everything they asked for yet we still pay a 30% tax on goods from China for no real purpose. And you think China is negotiating? They know that 30% tariffs will hurt the US far more than it will hurt them.
The US market continues to lag every other developed nation’s capital market by double digits and William thinks the US is winning? It is willful ignorance like that that puts people like our liar in chief in power.
Good luck with that mindset.
The fall of America, caused by Fear, and ignorance.
Na. I am pretty sure it the orange man bringing down America by alienating us from our long-term allies. Using a stop and start trade war to tax hard working Americans while giving himself and his wealthy friends massive tax breaks that we can’t afford, destroying our system of democracy with lies about mass election fraud that don’t exist, destroying our judicial system by claiming corruption that doesn’t exist all for his personal gain. Nothing more. Nothing less.
But you be you
