The Trump Presidency - Part 2



That sounds like a lot, but it isn't. Exxon invested 10 billion in 2023, ConocoPhillips invested about 6.5 billion. Chevron was at roughly 11 billion too. Most huge companies in the US would qualify for expedited approval without investing anything more than usual.

I have no idea how on earth he intends to do this while also cutting down on beauracracy, but that's another thing. All businesses investing more than 1 billion can self regulate or something?

That’s exactly it. He wants them to “drill, baby, drill”.
 
The funny thing is that even if that was true and the video came out, he still would get elected.
That's not funny it's tragic, what would be funny is the photo of the Orange man turning red after Melania exacted her revenge
 
RFK for all his batshitness actually has a few good ideas, banning chemicals in food like Red 40 (it's in everything) and seed oils, I'm all for him on that aspect, hey tell us about the JFK shooting too, I'm sure there's info in the presidential library so I'm led to believe by a certain Nicolas Cage

it's just populist stuff that's easy to say and corporate america would never allow

as soon as he ever came within striking distance of the presidency the PR machine would swing into action, and they'd have a very easy job to scuttle his plans because the guy says incredibly dumb things

the manifesto wasn't realistic because he was never trying to win an election, he was trying to win over enough conspiracy loonies to have some leverage to get a proper job in government
 
A Trump White House looks set to recognize the world’s newest country
Somaliland, a self-governing region within Somalia, will be much closer to being recognized by the United States as the world’s newest country when Donald Trump returns to the White House in January.

Support for the region has grown strong among Republican US-Africa policy leaders on Capitol Hill, right-leaning Washington DC think tanks, and likely Africa advisors of Trump’s incoming White House. Many of these people told Semafor Africa they would encourage Trump to recognize Somaliland “even if it wasn’t on Day One.”
Somalilanders who spoke with Semafor Africa from the capital Hargeisa soon after the Nov.13 election said they were confident Trump’s return to the White House will boost their aspirations for independence. “We have a golden opportunity to be closer if not for full recognition but much closer engagement with the US,” said Bashir Goth, who heads the Somaliland mission in Washington DC.

Canada will take it, and apologize for it.

Fantastic interview, by the way—Trump’s just exuding that calm, commanding energy.



USA will be in for a fun ride, while you Europeans clutch your pearls and roll your cynical eyes right out of your heads.

:cool:

@Raoul we need a MAGA smiley - make it big, bold and grinning smugly - to capture the moment in all its glory

This is reddit level bait :lol:
 
Fell upon this article the other day. Don't know how much of a reliable source Rolling Stone is on political matters, but if true, that would really open up a giant can of worms.

Trump has touted this idea in the past so it's not new, whether it's a can of worms will depend on how it's done, without the Mexican's approval it would be a deliberate act of war which would have consequences
 
In fairness, Hitler, Stalin, and Khomeini have also previously won it

Time has also made the candidate who won the presidency person of the year no less than 23 out of 24 election cycles. This is completely normal.
 
That's it.Time Magazine has gone full retard.
The selection criteria is: "a person, group, idea, or object that, for better or for worse, has done the most to influence the events of the year". With that in mind, how is it retarded to pick Donald Trump?

I believe it’s “person, woman, man, camera, tv”.
