The Trump Administration
- Thread starter Gallipoli
- Start date
Fearless Leader is dismantling Meals on Wheels “as part of the Trump administration’s overhaul of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.” Nearly half the program’s staff has already been laid off and all of its 10 regional offices are closed, according to former employees.
Another outstanding decision. Let's starve grandma.

Screw you, Grandma! Enough of mooching off the system! If you want food, get out there and start pounding the pavement and working a real job like the rest of us! If you get sick and die because you can't afford health insurance, tough crap! One less moocher. The government can't be spending money caring about you and your liberal ilk when it has more important things to spend money on, like Starlink contracts and sending people to Mars!
He does not want to anger his buddy Putin. America continues to lose the faith of our allies.
80 years after the end of WWII and we are still responsible for their defense? Allies or moochers? Europeans need to pull up their big boy pants on defense. Long overdue.
Extends to other Worldwide allies as well. We will be there for you as a backstop, but you need to step up first. Why should you enjoy the social safety net that many dream of here only because we relieve you of most of your defense burden?

Like I said, the truth hurts. Your boy Trump is in a death spiral. Blaming everyone but himself for crashing the economy.
I beg to differ. The US has to lead. We are the indispensable nation. Without us the world falls apart. We have to lead, but Europe and Japan need to do their part.
Trump has worked to get Russia to the table. Russia, backed by China, Iran and North Korea, has refused. Trump is about to take the gloves off. Keith Kellog proposed a series of carrots and sticks to force Russia to comply, through a step approach. Russia has failed every test.
You may think Biden couln't count to 30, but he created the best economy in the world for the US during his tenure. Its like Trump is doing everything he can to destroy the economy, I'd say Trump is more impaired than Biden re: the economy.
I see Mike Waltz and his deputy Alex Wong are leaving their posts with the White House.
That didn't take long.
Next!

Pete Hegseth has to be one of the most, if not the most, incompetent and stupid Secretarys of Defense in history. Not only does he use unsecured sites to disclose top secret plans to his friends and family, now he has eliminated a military initiative supporting women in the military, calling it a woke Biden law. Only one problem, Pete, it was put into law in Trump's first term, was authored by Kristi Noem, supported in the Senate by Rubio, and praised by Ivanka Trump.
I would think this insult to Trump would result in his firing, but we shall see. Like just about everything else Hegseth does, he did not do his homework and insulted his own boss.

Hegseth will be fired soon, and then can resume drinking ... if he ever stopped, of course. Then his wife better be on the lookout so he doesn't resume beating her. Maybe he can get a few more racist tattoos in his spare time.Pete Hegseth has to be one of the most, if not the most, incompetent and stupid Secretarys of Defense in history.

I think the only people happy with Trump are his cult, and members of the Canadian Liberal party, since he won the recent election for them. They were 25 points down in the polls when Trump began interfering with Canada's future.
Several years late bc of timidity of previous Admin.
Based on record, wouldn't trust Biden to referee a pickle ball game.
OK. Lets be nice.
Long Time, I agree the blanket J6 pardons are unconscionable. Several were definitely worthy of prosecution. Error was several were relatively innocent bystanders who previous Admin wanted to make an example of - ala Wisconsin Judge. Legal abuse stinks regardless of party. Believe the record unquestionably shows Dems are grossly more guilty than Repubs.
Not a tariffs guy. Inherently inflationary in the short term. Bold gamble. Trump will declare victory regardless of results. He is Trump. We get it. If he succeeds, Dems will be the minority for quite a while.
Question is what is the Dem alternative? Speak to policy. See a bunch of grandstanders - Booker with a record setting filibuster when there was no question on the floor, Booker and Hakeem sitting on Capitol steps, singing and chatting for hours, AOC and Bernie on the Oligarchy Tour when any survey you choose to select consistently show more billionaires are Dem than Repub, the "fighting" video of female Dems apparently kick boxing, etc, etc, etc. Looks foolish. No substance.
Guess it is chum for the faithful, but winning zero converts. Dems best bet is Trump. If his tariff gamble fails, Dems win. If it succeeds, you are f'ed.

The country needs a competent opposition party regardless of who is in power. Not seeing it now. Current opposition party is a hot mess, best described as - "To "lose your moorings" means to lose one's sense of stability, direction, or purpose. It's like a boat that breaks free from its moorings and drifts aimlessly, suggesting a state of being adrift and uncertain."
Perhaps too harsh an assessment, but doesn't appear far off the mark. Ditch the octogenarian leadership, move toward the center, and focus on policy, not political theatre. Don't believe folks like Walz, Booker or AOC get you there.

Trump wants a parade on his birthday. What the heck, just change president's day to his birthday, or better yet make another national holiday- Trump Day- for his birthday, June 14. Why not, everyone else gets a national holiday, why not Trump.
He is blowhard, after all.

I predict there will be a push for a national holiday in honor of President Trump. I also predict that the next aircraft carrier will be named the USS Donald J. Trump. You heard it here first.
Oh this is rich, coming from a member of a party that didn't even have a platform for the last election and whose candidate said he had the "concepts" of a health-care program.
As an independent I agree. Not happy with either party at the moment.
Stand by the comment. Lean right, but not a member of either party.
Just a political observation. The problem before the Dem Party is what do you want to be? Left or uber left? No leader, like Moses in the desert. Intended that to be the point, but oh we have to get into destructive politics.
Agree. Need two moderate political parties. Far left or far right will not move the populists forward. I detest politics, hate the anger among family and friends. Unfortunately I do not see another RR or BC in our future.
Seeking clarification. Can someone please explain how Biden said his hands were tied and could do zero about thousands pouring over the border daily for years, but now it has been reduced by over 95% in less than a 100 days?
Is there a credibility problem?
