I watch the news and I read. How could you not know how much he has been working. .

Pres. Trump's "Liberation Day" announcement was really excellent. He was a far greater expositor and persuader than usual. 1. He made you realize that the new tariffs are just the logical response to a trade war that other countries started, but we simply brushed off and took our lumps. 2. He made very subtle and clever fun of all the smarter-than-thou pundits who are aghast at tariffs, saying "They do to us; we do it to them. You can't get any simpler than that." I LOLed thinking of the pathetic Scott Lincicome, whom I follow on X only as self-flagellation. 3. He explained the scope of things very clearly. Real countries, real tariff rates. The highlight was him saying that 90,000 factories had been closed in the last 30 years, and he said "Imagine putting a pushpin on a map for every one of those." Excellent visualization. 4. He communicated proper respect to the countries that were going to have to make adjustments. He made it clear that he doesn't blame them--they're doing what they need to do, and the problem has strictly been our own previous inaction. 5. By giving the 1789-1913 history, he gave confidence that tariffs are actually a great source of income, and that we may have lost a lot of our potential by implementing an income tax--a genius way to tie in an eventual income tax change, if tariff revenue is actually that great (which I doubt, but we'll see). 6. He had the most pithy way to take all the Reason/CATO "OMG tariffs!" wonks and throw them into the pit of irrelevance: "If these struggling countries were negatively affected by their own tariffs [like Vietnam's 75% on motorcycles], they'd just take them off, right?" --- Mark Lowenstein .

So filled with hate, and bigotry C3 can't even admit that President Trump works hard. Sad. Even if you disagree with everything he says and does, the fact that you won't admit that he works long hours, 7 days a week so far, says so much about you. None of it surprising of course. .

RFK Calls HHS Layoffs a ‘Win-Win for Taxpayers.’ As the leftist media explodes in frenzy over thousands of layoffs at the Department of Health and Human Services and its exceedingly numerous subsidiary agencies, Trump’s HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says that the firings are a win for taxpayers, especially taxpayers who have suffered from harmful HHS decision-making. Last week, Kennedy announced planned cuts of about 20,000 HHS jobs as he streamlines America’s excessive number of healthcare agencies. After revelations of some of the pure insanity the HHS was funding, from DEI to cross-sex hormones for youth to “gender affirming hormone therapy” for mice, many Americans saw the need for significant change. We all remember the horrors of HHS COVID-19 policies, too. But naturally, the media is going crazy over the layoffs, so Kennedy appealed directly to American taxpayers. In an X post on April 1, Kennedy addressed the hysteria and furor, acknowledging the pain of newly unemployed individuals but explaining the reasons why — to put it in my own words — they should never have been hired to begin with: https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2025/04/02/rfk-calls-hhs-layoffs-a-win-win-for-taxpayers-n4938523

No. You do not deserve any type of direct response to questions that you have already committed yourself to. Besides that is just a squirrel you are inserting to the Republican self reflection thread

TIRED YET? NOT YET? Look Who’s Folding Under Trump’s Tariff Pressure Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed confidence that Canada would remove its tariffs on U.S. goods if President Donald Trump ends his trade war. Speaking with CNBC’s Ross Sorkin on Wednesday morning, Ford responded to a question about Canada’s $60 billion in retaliatory tariffs on American imports, suggesting that the ball is in Trump’s court. Ford is currently the chair of Canada’s Council of the Federation of premiers and has participated in bilateral discussions with U.S. officials in the past. However, it should be noted that the tariffs placed on some U.S. goods are ultimately the responsibility of the federal government. “We’d be willing to take those off tomorrow, if he took all the tariffs off. We are not the problem,” Ford said. Last month, the U.S. introduced a global 25 per cent tax on all steel and aluminum imports. Before that, Trump imposed a blanket 25 per cent tariff on all goods from Canada and Mexico, but later exempted items that are compliant under the North American free trade pact, although that exemption is set to expire on Wednesday. Meanwhile, it looks like Mexico is backing down, too. According to Reuters, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated on Wednesday that Mexico has no plans to impose retaliatory tariffs on the United States just ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected tariff announcement. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/04/02/look-whos-folding-under-trumps-tariff-pressure-n4938537 https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/mexico-not-enter-tariff-tit-151856028.html

Surprise! No, nobody—not a single person—should be surprised. You let yourself believe the terrorist liars because you wanted to believe them.
