Wow. What a difference.

I think the loss in 2020 has actually turned out to be a great thing. He learned about Cabinet positions. He learned about laws. He learned even more about dealing with the press and the left.

Now? He's crushing it! Yuge difference!

He knows he's against the clock. He spent the last four years on his plan and now he's getting it done.

This is true. I don't know what we can do about that. No politician will touch it.

That's not true. A lot of this matters even if he doesn't reduce the debt by 1 cent.

The national debt will take decades to address. It's nearly impossible to deal with in a 4 year term or 8 year broken term (45/47).

The more important part is he flipped the voting base, it seems. Before him, the Republican voting base was aging. Now it seems like the younger generations are getting on board. That's important if you want to achieve some kind of control on the national debt.

So, he took out Maduro, taking over Venezuela and protecting the petro-dollar. He is taking out Iran, continuing to protect the petrodollar.

Slashing regulations.

What is he doing to destroy the Fed?

Trump chose to initiate a regime change, after campaigning against it. Hopefully he can close it out successfully, without costing the taxpayer billions. Lots of football spiking here already, just a couple days in.

He's just doing Israel's bidding lol. Only boomers love what we're currently getting. Continued Joe Biden levels of spending, "no new wars", cracking down on freedom of speech, dumb tariffs.

I voted for Trump the last go around, and back in 2020. He's better than Kamala Harris but the bar wasn't set very high to begin with. So far the only thing I've actually loved is closing the border.

The fact tha Israel plays such a part in our decision making and a chunk of the population doesn't see to care is wild. They buy every politician on both sides. Trump could have been different and really gone down as the best ever, now I'll remember him as just another **** politician.

So blinded by antisemitism that you can't even define what a war is anymore.

What Trump is doing is the opposite of war mongering. Get in, take care of business, get out. No years of cronies getting rich off of pointless wars.

He's making the world safer for everyone but especially for America.

But again, you're too busy reeeeing about Israel to even try to understand that.

Pretty pathetic.

It doesn't matter who the president is. The debt is doubling every 8 years. This is the fault of the 4th branch swamp and not Trump. Not much he can do about it unless he takes on Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid.

There is no Israel in "Death to America"

The belief that Jews control the US is generally considered to be antisemitic, especially when the issue being discussed is so clearly in the US best interest.

I am convinced that about 35% of fed spending is straight up fraud. If we can leverage AI to cut that in half, there is still hope.

It's not antisemitic. There's an undue amount of influence by Israel in our politics. No other country would be allowed the same influence. There's a major religious element in our country that turns a blind eye to it, which is largely why it happens. To say they don't have more influence then they should is being willfully ignorant. You can even agree on the policy, like bombing Iran and still recognize the level of influence Israel has. Those don't have to be exclusive necessarily. You can look at donor records and see how high up AIPAC is on many lists. I don't even fault Israel really, this is a by product of modern interpretation of scripture held by a major sect of American Christians.

The devaluation of the dollar is how the national debt is being addressed. I wish Congress would have quit overspending, quit borrowing and quit printing dollars, but they didn't. Without a miracle, it's too late to address the debt any other way than dollar devaluation.

We can return to US dollars and ditch the federal reserve notes. A US dollar hasn't been printed since 1971.

Israel has zero to do with Trump bombing the men who tried to assassinate him straight to hell.

To insinuate otherwise is, in fact, antisemitic.

Do you wish that the Ayatolla was still alive?

You're making leaps here I'm not talking about. I don't wish he was still alive, but that's an irrelevant question. I'm supportive of what we are doing currently. It can also be true Israel has too much influence in our politics even if we align on certain issues and policies. It's not antisemitic at all to address it. Trying to play the race card is a leftist tactic to avoid reality. Like saying border wall is racists.
Since you asked me a question let me ask one. Do you believe America should be fully sovereign?

Really? If you look in your wallet you will see every bill in it has been printed since 1971. US dollars don't even look like they did in 1971.

Also, if you want to abandon the treasuries, then every US money market fund and US bank will collapse and many individuals will be bankrupted overnight because that's who is holding most of those treasuries. China was smart enough to greatly reduce their treasury holdings. It's mostly Americans who own our debt.

So your plan of abandoning treasury holders would result in a depression overnight. No politicians want that again, so they will devalue the dollar and inflate. The dollar has already devalued 34% since Covid, 12% in 2025 alone. Its inevitable decline will continue. Look at gold, the price of houses, Hell, the price of anything.

If you look in your wallet you won't find a US dollar. You won't be able to get one from your bank either.

Treasuries aren't federal reserve notes. They a debt, which can be paid back in US dollars not federal reserve notes if the US treasury so choose to.

Read the second paragraph.

If you believe in Israel's cause so much, then go convince your son to sign up and fight for it. Or go do it yourself if you can still enlist. Just because I'm against fighting Israel's war doesn't mean I'm antisemitic. I'm just ACTUALLY America first.

Btw, if Trump wants to make the world safer, there are a **** load of Epstein files that need explaining. It would be nice if we had a president that would "drain the swamp" right now. Go look back at what he actually ran on vs what he's doing now. It wasn't that ago he was calling her "crooked Hilary" now she's a "strong woman". He was also disappointed to see Bill Clinton questioned. Idk about you, but the guy just seems full of **** lately. We need to stop looking at these politicians as heroes and instead see them for what they are.

But you want me to believe that Trump, who has done very well harnessing the populist American vote, is more concerned about what Israel wants than me? What proof do you have of, specifically, Trumps motivations that he would act on Israel's best interests at the expense of mine?

Disagree. This has the potential to lead to a much bigger fallout. This is Israel's fight. Not ours. We do not gain anything from this. We have 20 years of data to back this up. Again, I voted for the guy. I'm not some libtard that just hates everything that is republican. But this isn't the America first movement I was voting for. Charlie Kirk would agree, and I'm glad he doesn't have to see this. 3 American troops died from this already.

Yea man, when our leaders are implicated in a child pedo ring and they all scream it's a big nothing burger, most of us kind of want the DOJ to do a little digging. The government is real quick to audit any one of us and waste our tax dollars, but god forbid WE demand some ****ing accountability on their end.

Easy. Go look how much AIPAC donated to his campaign . You'll get your answer real quick as to why Trump went ahead with this. He's not a Zionist, or even a Christian. He just made some campaign promises to his biggest donors that he has to come through on.
