Trump 47

Im a middle class straight white guy, so as a member of pretty much every protected class their is Im not really losing my mind. Im irritated but like you said he told us all what he was going to do and he's doing it. I am wondering where the people who don't really understand economics and think he would "fix" global recession are. Do they not care that he floated the idea of putting American citizens in foreign prisons? At what point does they think maybe they made a mistake here.
cuz all they see is stuff like this:

Trump recognizes Tiger Woods, Harriet Tubman for Black History Month the hill

President Trump on Friday said he is “honored” to recognize February as Black History Month and that “black Americans have been among our country’s most consequential leaders.”


“American heroes such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Thomas Sowell, Justice Clarence Thomas, and countless others represent what is best in America and her citizens,” Trump said in a statement.
 
Fake news.

There is no severance package.

They are saying that you have to choose by Feb 6th to KEEP working from home until September 30th then at that point you are a forced resignation. OR, you can not resign and they will put you in some office somewhere. There is no severance pay involved.View attachment 9369
Had lunch with a friend of mine that works for a federal government agency. He and his co-workers all received the same (or very similar) email you posted. However, he was very clear that is was a severance. And that he could take the package by Feb 6th and “either get another job and double dip or take multi-month vacation”.

So is it different for different government departments?

Leavitt said the Biden administration and the US Agriculture Department “directed the mass killing of more than 100 million chickens, which has led to a lack of chicken supply in this country, therefore a lack of egg supply, which is leading to the shortage”.

Leavitt’s statement is partially accurate about the culling of millions of chickens, but she omitted important details and context about why that happened.

First, the chickens were killed to prevent the spread of the highly pathogenic avian influenza, or bird flu.

Second, it’s been longstanding USDA policy to cull an entire flock of birds once bird flu has been detected, including during Trump’s first administration.

If you still don't understand how tariffs work, and how they are going to completely eff the common person, you're either very stupid or willfully ignorant.
 
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country will place 25% tariffs on $155bn in US imports in retaliation for Trump's imposition of tariffs on imports from Canada

 
Trump just wasted millions of gallons of water (it was literally dumped into an arid lakebed where it will evaporate) because he doesn't understand basic science or firefighting methods.

When our water (and food) prices shoot up later this year, you can thank Trump.
 
Didn't vote for the guy. Really. Not one time. Not in any primary. Not on any Election night. But I'm an outsider here no doubt.

My outsiders take on his first two weeks is that its been predictable. He's pretty much doing what he told American he would do. Left is going mad. Nothing here is a surprise.

For me, we are not going to know what this is going to look like for another year or two. If you are losing your mind now, it's going to be lost by midterms.
So because he said he's going to do all these things, we should just be ok with it?

If somebody tells me they are going to punch me in the face, and then does it, I'm not gonna say "Well, my fault! You told me you were going to". I get what you are saying, so it's more of a rhetorical question / statement.
