The Trump Presidency 2.0

Lmao, drop the S&P by 1200 points and then take credit when it has 9 days of gains but is still 300 points down from inauguration (400 from Feb).
This is like the Biden admin changing how they counted recession and then giving themselves credit.
Right, we're back where we were before it nosedive with all the tarrif shit.
We're still down since he took office and since it peaked in February.
This is OSU beating Michgan but not winning the conference. Sure it's a win, but it's not winning.
Yeah- so 20 year record right? Are you disputing it's not? Everything in between the starting point and now was absolute nonsense- China in freefall, everyone who didn't panic sell didn't lose a dime, everyone's 401K is fine, inflation at 2.4% and cooling... Click that lil filter button to show. me this graph in comparison to 2021-2024 if we want to zoom out "for context and nuance".
All signals (jobs most notably) signaling American economic resurgance and explosion and the narrative is doom and gloom. Makes for good content I guess.
ETA- THE Ohio State had the most historic CFP run to the Natty in history... So if you're comparing that to what's going in America right now, I tend to agree. Not the dunk you think it was but your OSU hate is noted and you get +1 for it.

Dow aside the left said the tariffs were going to cause irreversible recession blah blah blah yet all the markers are improving. The market is going to go up, it's going to go down, but right now the left is mad it's going up.
Lol I'm from the Findlay-Tiffin area; I'm a OSU fan. Just a little metaphor I figured would make sense.
Things are moving positively and I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'm also not about to celebrate getting back to where we were 30 days ago.
Get to me in a year when there's actually been time for changes to take place.
Gotta take wins when we get them. Being contrarian is the easiest position to hold across all things, it requires nothing more than saying “Nah man I don’t think so”. White pill > black pill.
If we had a period like we’ve seen in the last 30 days in 2023, Trump wouldn’t be the president. But as always- nothing will be good enough because nothing ever happens.

Less Tranny Stuff, Less Pro Hamas stuff, secure border, deporting terrorists and illegal criminals, there is so much awesome going on right now I don't know why we have to be so dystopian.

Because they(the administration) are also talking about deporting US citizens. That is dystopian. They are discussing using the active duty US military in local level law enforcement, which is dystopian. Sure the market is 300 points lower than it was, which is a win, and eggs might be cheaper because the culled chickens are dead and bird flu season is over, great wins.

Trump's Expanded Domestic Military Use Should Worry Us All | ACLU
It is dystopian fear now. But imagine the fear if it wasn’t President Trump saying, doing, and putting into memos these things.
He isn’t coming for me. I’m an upper middle class white guy, pay more taxes than should be legal, and am generally not in his cross hairs, but I remain nervous of any executive taking liberties like this. His justice department is trying to conduct warrantless searches of homes, which should give all of us chills. Trump DOJ Ordered ICE to Invade Homes Without Search Warrant
I imagine all members of this board if faced with a warrant less home invasion would resort to their god given 2A rights, right?

It'll be National Guard troops on T32 status, since there's a debated section currently within the Posse Comitatus Act that may allow it.
Seeing as how NG budgets just got slashed so badly drills/annual training events may be canceled in some states, their will be many JFHQs searching for those mission funds if available.
@Cookie_ @TLDR20 we have learned nothing, it seems. I’m gonna bookmark these posts for when I need a break from the serious stuff.
Just go re-read the last 40 times I’ve clearly layed out how Trump and his admin communicates, in order to draw a ridiculous, breathless rage-post reaction from the left on an 80/20 issue just so he can mock those people relentlessly, costing them their intellectual credibility. You’re saying the Trump administration, not in theory but in practice, is setting up the deportation of American citizens- and that’s why you’re dystopian in your protected (‘cause white’), liberal, upper middle class enclave on the east coast? Is that your actual position? I paraphrased your words but I don’t want to assume.
@TLDR20 to your last sentence- yes. Exactly correct. Stack up or shut the fuck up. I only speak for myself- not sure what you’re getting at.

Nvm, I trust this chef as the arbiter of truth, speaking up for his fellow citizens.
Trump did.
Now, saying they're "looking into it" isn't necessarily "actively preparing to do it", sure, but I would argue trying to figure out how to send Americans to overseas prisons isn't something we should be support at all.

Well, you can't deport a citizen whose born here...but theoretically you can deport someone who is naturalized, but you would have to go through the process of revoking said citizenship.
