Pope Donald The First

[John Clark]

Donald Trump posted this picture on his truth social account without comment, but then he really didn't need to comment because the picture told us everything we need to know about where his mindset is.

Before the election Trump said he would inflict astronomically high tariffs on the American people which, as any economist would tell you, would devastate the Country's GDP; people like you said that was just Trump being Trump, he was just joking and wouldn't really do it. But now look at us! I predicted  2020 would be the last presidential election this country ever has, but Trump's stupidity has exceeded even my very low expectations, so now I think we will be saved from dictatorship  if Trump sticks to his guns and doesn't change his monumentally idiotic trade policy. Even the MAGA faithful will not forgive a self generated Trump slump.

Then tell me what you think of Trump's war, not on cancer but his war on cancer research? That primate has already canceled billions of dollars of research into cancer because some of the scientists involved may have political views that differ from Trump's, even though cancer doesn't care if you're a republican or a democrat. And you'd think after our experience with Covid we'd be better prepared for the next pandemic, but instead Trump is cutting the budget for the Center For Disease Control, and Trump picked Robert Kennedy Junior, perhaps the only man in America even stupider than Trump, to be the head of the National Institute of Health.  Does that sound like promoting useful technology to you? 

> the Democrats did this with the open border policiy. 11.5 million illegals in

What is it with you? Has an illegal immigrant ever done anything bad to you personally?  I don't get why you believe this issue is more important than any other. The crime rate of illegal immigrants is actually lower than that of native born Americans! And even if it wasn't I'd still say it was an issue of trivial importance. And if you kicked out all the illegal immigrants then the agricultural sector of the US economy would collapse because they're doing work that American citizens don't want to do. Do you hate them because they're interfering with your lifelong ambition to become a professional tomato picker?

Absolutely hilarious. I doubt he knows the first thing about the order of a mass.

Presuming you haven’t snipped the relevant context, what does spudboy100 mean by the Democrats ‘open border policiy[sic]’? There has been no open border policy in the US in well over a century. In fact, the last three Democratic presidents have been closer to the Republicans on this issue — enforcing awful border laws, increasing deportations and detentions, and overall making life harder for undocumented immigrants and even for documented ones. This is even with programs like DACA.

Maybe folks don’t understand how an open border policy would work. Between Seattle and its neighboring towns, there’s an open border. No one checks your passport when traveling from, say, Seattle to Shoreline or Burien. There are no fences or walls, no guards or patrols looking for people crossing the Seattle border. That’s an open border. That is, by the way, the correct libertarian position on (government) borders: they should be open.

Nothing like that exists between the US and the rest of the world. In order to cross into Canada, even well before Trump took office the first time, you need to go through a border crossing and you will be stopped and checked. This goes for returning from Canada to the US. Again, this has been the way it’s been for decades or longer now. Certainly for my entire lifetime — if not for the lifetime of everyone on this forum.

Back to lurk mode.

Regards,

Dan

This picture seems oddly timed with the election of the first American Pope by the Conclave. Did Trump put a tariff on penance and indulgences? Care to comment Giulio?
