Saw that. However, it will cover just 6.7 hours of pay so not sure what it does. US military wage budget $191bn.

What it does is impresses Donnie and the flag shaggers.

He hates being correctly contradicted. He hates being criticised. He will take your sweets away from you. A pathetic individual. You have to keep reminding yourself that this guy is the POTUS. It's simultaneously incredulous how he is not MAGA.
He had one policy - tariffs. He was looking for policies to run on in 2015. He asked his son to find policies. His son found a 2nd rate economist who floated the idea of tariffs. Since then Trump has stuck to it like glue (references in a previous post some 50 odd pages ago).
Then you have the two Ronnies Art Laffer and Stephen Moore who espouse this sh*t and are the very few proponents of draconian tariffs when all others and all other financial institutions and most governments disagree.

Art Laffer: "You're on the precipice of the greatest prosperity Britain has ever known. There's nothing wrong with being rich. There's something wrong with being desperately poor... cut tax rates..." bollox bollox bollox.

We know the countries with the highest tax rates gave the best standard of living. There is still a vein of economists hung up on flawed Milton Freidman ethic.

He still thinks a tariff on Canadian products is a punishment to Canada and helps USAnians.

Trump pardons crypto currency fraudster (this is related to private donations to fund the ballroom):

Trump pardons billionaire crypto exchange founder who pleaded guilty to money laundering-related charge​

Washington — President Trump has pardoned a billionaire cryptocurrency exchange founder who pleaded guilty to a money laundering-related charge, claiming the man was a victim of political prosecution by the Biden administration.

Changpeng Zhao, a Chinese-born Canadian founder of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, pleaded guilty in November 2023 to charges of enabling money laundering while serving as CEO of the exchange. The plea was part of a multi-billion-dollar settlement Binance reached with the Biden-era Justice Department in 2023, and Zhao stepped down from his role as CEO.

He served four months in prison after his April 2024 sentencing, and his company was barred from operating in the U.S.

"President Trump exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden Administration in their war on cryptocurrency," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. "In their desire to punish the cryptocurrency industry, the Biden administration pursued Mr. Zhao despite no allegations of fraud or identifiable victims."

"The Biden administration sought to imprison Mr. Zhao for three years, a sentence so outside sentencing guidelines that even the judge said he had never heard of this in his 30-year career. These actions by the Biden Administration severely damaged the United States' reputation as a global leader in technology and innovation. The Biden administration's war on crypto is over."

It must be remembered at all times that this is the man elected as POTUS.
You can't really blame him, but the people who put him there. Is he really the best they've got? Really?...Really?...Really?

There is nobody alive on the democrat side who could match Trump.

Why would they want anyone that does.

By "they've" I meant the USA.
Mind you, we've not had the best run of PM's either.

Best Big Whorehouse in Washington. All the clients pay to metaphorically do to Trump what Lewinsky did to Clinton.
