Maar toch was het in de laatste dagen en uren nog een spannende race die onverwacht ten gunste vhan Trump werd beslecht.
En ongeacht het kiessysteem bleef het toch spannend tot het laatste moment.

Dat ontkracht toch grotendeels wat jij zegt.

Enfin. Veel maakt het allemaal niet uit. Het is Trump voor vier jaar... waarschijnlijk.

En met dat laatste kan ik trouwens ook heel hard lachen, zoals je ziet zo'n woker of "deugpronker" ben ik dan ook weer niet, ik denk er wel aan om zo'n stickers te verkopen ... zo'n briljant ondernemer ben ik dan ook wel

Nog ééntje van de deugpronkers om het af te leren:



Maar minder grappig is dat het niet bij woorden blijft. De deugpronkers gaan ook tot vandalisme over:


Er vergeten een aantal van die vandalen dat die Tesla's wel een sentry-mode hebben

Hiermee kunnen TDS'ers aftellen:

2 Republikeinen, niet van de minste, hebben nog steeds niet gesnapt dat wie zegt dat hij een idee van Trump niet goed vindt, verketterd en verpletterd zal worden door de woede van de tsaar in het witte huis.

Republikeinse senatoren en congresmen moeten hun mond houden, en stemmen zoals Trump wil dat ze stemmen. Dat is alles.

We wensen hen veel sterkte toe.

Congressional Republicans threaten revolt over Trump-led defence shake-up
Senate and House committee chairs warn against plan for US to relinquish command of Nato forces in Europe

Republicans on Capitol Hill are threatening a revolt against a defence shake-up reportedly planned by the Trump administration that could see the US relinquish its command of Nato forces in Europe.

The two top Republicans on the Senate and House of Representatives armed services committees, Roger Wicker and Mike Rogers, signaled their opposition in an extraordinary joint statement warning that the change would “risk undermining American deterrence around the globe”.

The statement – a rare display of congressional Republicans rebelling since Donald Trump’s return to the White House – followed an NBC report that the Pentagon is considering giving up the role of Supreme Allied Commander Europe (Saceur), a position held by an American general since the Nato alliance was formed in 1949.

MAGA !!!!!!!!!


In its latest projections, Fed officials now see the economy growing only 1.7 percent this year, compared with their initial expectation for a 2.1 percent expansion, and predict the unemployment rate will rise to 4.4 percent. Officials also lifted their forecasts for core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, to 2.8 percent from 2.5 percent back in December. These updated projections are the most comprehensive analysis yet of how the Fed sees the economic outlook evolving now that President Trump has begun to implement his agenda.

Na de FED heeft ook de OECD de effecten van de dwaze tarieven-oorlog van het economisch genie in het witte huis ingeschat.

Lagere economische groei en hogere inflatie, vooral in de US, Canada en Mexico.

MAGA !!!!!!!!!!!

Trump trade wars are slowing global growth and fuelling inflation, says OECD
Economic organisation downgrades forecasts for growth in UK as well as US, Canada and Mexico due to tariffs

Donald Trump’s trade wars are splintering the global economy and unpicking progress made to reboot growth and tackle inflation, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has said.

In its latest update on the health of the world economy, the leading Paris-based institution downgraded the prospects for global growth this year and next, including a sharp hit to activity in the US, Canada and Mexico.

Trump blijft liegen over de economische erfenis van Biden. Eén lange ketting van leugens, leugens en leugens. Nu, wat snappen zijn fans van economie en cijfers en percenten en groei

Trump says the economy ‘went to hell’ under Biden. The opposite is true
Steven Greenhouse
By standard measures such as job and GDP growth and the stock market, the US economy was in excellent shape

Donald Trump keeps saying he inherited a terrible economy from Joe Biden and many Americans believe him, even though that’s not true. During his White House marketing event for Tesla on Tuesday, Trump said the US and its economy “went to hell” under Biden. Last week, in his national address to Congress, Trump said: “We inherited from the last administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare.”

But the truth is that by standard economic measures, the US economy was in excellent shape when Biden turned over the White House keys to Trump, even though most Americans, upset about inflation, told pollsters the economy was in poor shape.

When Biden left office, the unemployment rate was a low 4.1%, and during Biden’s four years in office, the average jobless rate was lower than for any president since the 1960s. Trump has repeatedly railed against the high inflation under Biden, but the fact is that by the time Biden left office, the inflation rate had fallen to just 2.9% – down more than two-thirds from its peak and near the Federal Reserve’s inflation goal.

Not only that, the nation’s GDP growth has been impressive, rising at a solid 3.1% rate at the end of Biden’s term. Ever since the pandemic ended, economic growth in the US has been considerably stronger than in the UK, France, Germany and other G7 nations. Shortly before election day, the Economist magazine ran a story saying the US economy was “the envy of the world” and had “left other rich countries in the dust”.

Trump often says job growth under Biden was terrible, but the fact is that the US added 16.6m jobs during Biden’s presidency, more than during any four-year term of any previous US president. Under Trump, job growth was far worse – during his first four-year term, the nation lost 2.7m jobs overall, making Trump’s presidency the first since Herbert Hoover’s during which the nation suffered a net loss in jobs. The pandemic was largely responsible for this, but even during Trump’s first three years in office, before the pandemic hit, job growth was only half as fast as it was under Biden.

Recently, Trump has repeatedly boasted how his tariffs will bring back manufacturing. Trump fails to note, however, that Biden had considerable success in bringing bring back manufacturing and factory jobs. Under most recent presidents, the US lost manufacturing jobs, but under Biden, the nation gained an impressive 750,000 factory jobs, the most under any president since the 1970s. A big reason for this was that as a result of Biden’s green jobs legislation and the Chips Act to boost semiconductor production, manufacturing investment boomed, more than doubling during Biden’s four years in office.”
