Robert de Niro son 29 years old is now a trans. Changed his name and us on hormonal treatment.
I absolutely have no problem with thus. At his age, he makes his own decisions without being guided by school counsellors.

Pity the poor father with all his money. Most people want their children to grow up , go to college, have career , get married and bring up a family.

I know he hates Trump and it's worse that he can see Trump children being responsible people in the society.

They got what they deserved.

And now we have this trade war with China that -- that Moody's and other analysts say is gonna cost American families thousands of more dollars per year. And there is a lot of concern out there. People are worried, even some people who voted for you, sayin', "I didn't sign up for this." So how do you answer those concerns?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on. I said that-- we've been abused by other countries at levels that nobody's ever seen before. We were losing $3 to 5 billion a day on trade. We were losing-- a trillion and a half to $2 trillion a year. Not sustainable.

Nothing to see there. Only one sentence quoted , making it appear as if he is mocking his voting base

You fell for it, you let media manipulate a harmless sentence .

cococandy, Good description of how pharmaceutical companies are decoupling from China.

https://legalinsurrection.com/2025/04/the-decoupling-of-american-pharmaceutical-supply-from-china-has-begun/

What struck me.

China, the newsletter reported Tuesday, “accounted for 95% of U.S. imports of ibuprofen, 91% of U.S. imports of hydrocortisone, 70% of U.S. imports of acetaminophen, 40% to 45% of U.S. imports of penicillin and 40% of U.S. imports of heparin, according to Commerce Department data. In all, 80% of the US supply of antibiotics are made” in China.


American drugs are still very expensive .I compared 3 drugs , America,UK and Nigeria.

Cost Comparison in USD
Amoxicillin (Full Course):
America: $20 - $50 (for a 7-10 day course)
Britain: $13.34 - $40.02 (converted from £10 - £30)
Nigeria: $0.93 - $1.99 (converted from ₦1,500 - ₦3,000)
Penicillin (Full Course):

Nigeria: $9.30 - $18.60 (converted from ₦15,000 - ₦30,000)

Healthcare per Capita.

America: $13,432 per capita in 2023.
UK: Approximately $4,500 per capita in 2023.
Germany: Approximately $6,400 per capita in 2023.
France: Approximately $5,740 per capita in 2023.

If you don't worship the ground Trump walks on within 4 years,you must be real hardcore
*Trump admin will expense any company that brings it's manufacturing plants back to US soil *

Kingsnairaland:
The most corrupt nation is USA

America is stringent on corruption .
It has legalized corruption , where lobby groups get to draft laws hire ex house members, where top bureaucrats join the military industrial complex or big pharma. Where congress engages in stock trades utilizing insider knowledge.
Corruption that can't be prosecuted easily , The amounts involved however are more than the GDP of very many nations all around the world.

I'm aware there are 2 very wealthy flamboyant cabinet members in Rutos government whose businesses are unknown.

Maeve7:
The president of the United States of America believes that a journalist’s job is to be “very nice”.

What a mo:ron.

Maeve. This is the complete transcript of the interview Incase full paragraphs passed you because you probably speak English holding your nose

https://abcnews.go.com/US/full-transcript-trumps-exclusive-100-days-broadcast-interview/story?id=121291672

Thus is not an interview to dig out the truth, the position of the president. It is a gotcha campaign interview no different than if it was Kamala Harris questioning Trump using her prosecutorial experience.

Wonder why Trump ever bothers with these journalists.
Terry Morgan says the tattoo in kilmar Garcia was photoshopped. Why didn't he show kilmar photo of his knuckles. He could not because he wants you to believe kilmar Garcia is just a 'Maryland Father '. Few hours ago I'd posted a summary of kilmar proof of gang membership.

2018 Custody Suit: Edwin Trejo Ramos sued Jennifer Vasquez Sura, alleging she dated a gang member. Case dismissed due to jurisdiction, no specific gang member named.

2019 Arrest: Garcia arrested with MS-13 members; police claim gang ties, Garcia denies.

Clothing: Wore Bulls hat, hoodie; police link to MS-13, but experts say inconclusive.

Informant: Informant claims Garcia is MS-13 “Chele”; reliability questioned, officer later fired.

Judge’s Ruling: 2019 judge denies bond, cites police report as evidence of MS-13 membership.

DHS Form: DHS claims Garcia’s MS-13 ties, murder probe; no charges, evidence disputed.

Police Validation: County police validate Garcia as MS-13 based on contested 2019 arrest data.

2022 Stop: Tennessee stop raises trafficking suspicion; DHS links to MS-13, no charges filed.

Trump Claims: Trump labels Garcia MS-13, cites 2019 documents, protective order; judges question evidence.

Tattoo: Trump claims Garcia’s tattoos show MS-13 ties; experts and attorneys refute specificity.


Yet this Terry Morgan guy is pushing for the guy to be brought back, based in a progressive DOJ lawyer (since fired) who said it was a mistake.
The problem being in your position afflicted with TDS is that you believe every lie about Trump . It will cost you nothing to be objective
How you people sleep soundly knowing you believe lies soundly beats me. You guys don't have a conscience, a knack for being truthful , of looking at matters using your head instead of what propaganda lying media wants you to believe.

Trump in one day takes more questions than Joe Biden or Kamala did in 4 years The media was happy to lie to you. Democrats can never go to conservative media anchors like Jessie Watters or Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity. Yet Trump is always entertaining questions gracefully from enemedia.
Trump summed up the interview this.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I -- no, I think it's gone way up, and I think we're a respected country again. We were laughed at all over the world. We had -- a president that couldn't walk up a flight of stairs, couldn't walk down a flight of stairs, couldn't walk across a stage without falling. We had a president that was grossly incompetent. [color=#ff2800]You knew it, I knew it, and everybody knew it. But you guys didn't want to write it because you're fake news.[/color]

Appleyard:
You sound just like the typical western leaning folks that usually oversimplified and grossly misunderstood Middle East politics.

From miles away, it's clear that folks like you don't know or just deliberately underestimate the influence Iran weirds in that region.

If it's that simple as you want to believe, the US and Israel would have invaded Iran long ago.

Well, sorry to burst your bubble: on multiple occasions, US think-tanks and war planners have gamed the Iranian war scenario, and on each occasion, the result turns out the same--the US and co suffered more from a direct military confrontation with Iran than Iran suffered.

You want to know why?

Because Iranian influential tentacles in the region would make sure that most, if not all US interests in the region would come under unprecedented attacks that the Yankees would be unable to deal with.

The only thing that unite the Shia-Sunni divide is a war with Israel.

The economic backlash alone would cripple most of the western countries whose economies are already reeling and swimming in relegation waters, courtesy of the proxy war with Russia.

China, knowing damn well how such a war would position it as the prime economic power, would throw its weights behind Iran.

Russia would follow suit. You can take that to the bank.

And once the two giants are in, you can expect a long queue of SCO and BRICS members to line up behind Iran covertly or Overtly.

This is no longer a world order run solely by the west and it's years of oppressive hegemony. This is a new, multipolar world order where no one takes orders as before.

It is folly to live in the comfort of your home and type on nairaland that Iran would fight alone in a war with US and Israel.

In fact, a direct US war with Iran could lead to WW3 compared to any other country, Russia and China aside.

The countries you mentioned that fought alone do not share nor command the same level of geopolitical and regional influence as Iran does. Neither are any of them (Ukraine aside) technologically advanced as Iran.

Guy, Ukraine isn't fighting alone, and Iran would never fight alone.

You are very wrong. Saudi Arabia and other ME countries as Qatar,Bahrain & Kuwait know Iran is the threat to them. If Israel or USA attacks Iran , they will destroy the oil exporting ports of their neighbouring countries. "If I can't export oil, so shall you not" . Iran will also close the Strait of Hormuz where a huge percentage of oil transits through. That's Iran expressly stated threat.. These countries hate Israel and would like it gone, but they won't get into a foolish fight with Israel America on behalf of Iran.
Saudi Arabia funded the first Muslim atomic bomb,if they want it Pakistani will send them one . Iran going nuclear is no big deal to the Saudi,they can quickly get one from Pakistan. Any law that bans sale of nuclear warheads apart from sanctions threat?

Kilmar Garcia the Maryland Father. Democrat claims no evidence he was a gang member.

When it comes to Trump a rumour is taken as the gospel truth. For democrats , a conviction or corroborated videos must be produced. Notice how the listed pieces of evidence are disputed by media

Kilmar Garcia , the Maryland Father.

His wife had been sued by her ex regarding custody of their children in 2018.
Abrego Garcia’s wife’s ex made the claim when he filed documents seeking an emergency court hearing on the custody of the couple’s two children.
“She Is Dating A Gang Member,” Jennifer Vasquez Sura’s ex, Edwin Trejo Ramos alleged in the petition filed in Prince George’s County Circuit Court in Maryland.
.... judge denied the emergency hearing the following month, and later dismissed the petition in early 2019 over over jurisdictional


Multiple confirmations of Kilmar Garcia being an ms-13 gang member
Look at how politifact solemnly declares
There is no evidence that Abrego Garcia is a terrorist. As we noted above, it’s unproven that Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13 and therefore a terrorist after the gang’s foreign terrorist designation.
This is then made trending ,repeated by other media as proof .

Maeve7:
Weren’t you guys against communism? Why is your guy restricting free trade and interfering with business decisions?

Didn't know imposing tariffs is communist.
Anyway I'll ask him when we talk. This signal business is the reason I haven't called him.

cococandy:
And you guys have the opportunity to lead now and you’re fvcking it up MASSIVELY. Unprecedented gargantuan fvck up.

And to think you can get people to stop talking about it is actually so hilarious. Do you think if you say this we will all keep quiet as we lose our businesses, retirements, jobs etc. you got jokes. Consider doing stand up

Where do you get your news.
This is from the White House presser yesterday.

345,000 jobs have already been added since the start of President Trump's term. Last month's jobs report saw nearly 100,000 more jobs than economists predicted."
"It was the fourth highest month for private payroll growth in the past two years. 9000 manufacturing jobs have been added to the economy already!"
"This is a sharp contrast to the 6000 manufacturing jobs that were lost each month in the final two years of the Biden administration.

🚨Secretary Bessent announces that President Trump will allow companies who move their manufacturing BACK HOME will have their factory costs FULLY EXPENSED!

"The other thing that we are looking to add is full expensing for factories. So bring your factory back!1
We will couple that with deregulation, cheap energy, and regulatory certainty.

That will continue to make the U.S. the greatest destination for domestic and foreign investment."

White House accuses Amazon of "hostile and political act" after reported plan to display the additional cost of tariffs next to price of items. News

Why are they afraid of the truth?hunnn..

Amazon partnered with Chinese firm to sell Xi jinpin propaganda.
Walmart sees an opportunity.

Walmart announced on Monday that the company would be launching a "Grow with US" program aimed at helping small businesses in the US grow by selling American-made products.

A statement released by Walmart on the program said that it is aiming to "help small businesses go big" with American-made products. The retail giant, which has been growing its ecommerce platform as a of late, said that the move is "building on the legacy Sam Walton established over 40 years ago" and looking to expand "support for American-made products through new programs like Grow with US — providing small businesses with new tools and paths for success."

Good week for liberals on climate change .

Spain and Portugal quest for NetZero had them just above 50% daytime solar generation. Led to power grid imbalances and a total shutdown of the grid..Spain had a day when there was zero emissions and relied on green power ,the sun.

LA port volume will plummet from next week as imports dry up. Means fewer emissions and cleaner air for mother earth.

Ijebos , white man hater and Hamas sympathiser on going back to Africa

cococandy:
Because you keep supplying hilarious material. The jokes are literally writing themselves

Trump's way of celebrating 100 days .
100 posters of arrested illegal aliens also listing their crimes like assault, trafficking , murder etc.. Where media cannot miss it along the WH driveway. Seriously in that America of yours does media have to be shown this in order to report accurately?

cococandy:
Your side used to hate that California took forever to ACCURATELY count the votes.

Now you don’t seem to mind it when you want to use as a talking point

You can be funny. Dec 14 was when California accurately finished counting votes .

raumdeuter:
Congratulations to Canadians for choosing the party and candidate they want Good luck to them

If only other non Americans will respect the wish of Americans as they chose Trump but no na endless choo choo choo

Not many have mentioned this Pollievre Pierre of Canada was trashing Trump till election day .
He lost his parliamentary seat .
He ain't going back to parliament.

cococandy:
Millions of people in the streets protesting against him tells us otherwise.

75 million didn't vote for him remember. It's not hard getting 2 million to the streets especially with media behind you.

Maeve7:
Only Musk and Trump stole the elections.

Example.
California has twice the GDP of Canada and twice as many voters .
Took them several weeks to finalize the elections while Canada was out in a day.
Better still California has 52 seats,Canada has 343 Within 24 hours all their seats are declared but California took weeks
California is 4.1% landmass Canadian but with same population.

raumdeuter:
nateevs called Africa 3rd world, I will by your logic say he has been drinking from the trough of racist and forgot himself right?

Back to political correctness.
Africa is a shit hole who doesn't know that
Can't even manufacture toothpicks or vuvuzelas.

cococandy:
Like clockwork. The funny thing is he news the worst Republican president last time he was in office. Now he beat his own record at being the worst. Worst president in a century.

This poll was skewed.

“When President Trump received 50 percent of the popular vote, but The New York Times includes only 37 percent of his voters in their poll and ABC/Washington Post has only 34 percent Trump supporters, it seems that they deliberately biased their polls against President Trump,”


Poll makes no sense Timed for release in 100 days.
Should have been how many Kamala voters has Trump win over in 100 days
4-7% have switched .
* Trump says they should be investigated Pam Bondi will not .

cococandy:
Basil invest in a mirror pls

This is verbatim description of Republicans

Wrong. Why liberals switched to Bluesky. Why they moving out of America. It's because they don't want to hear anything they don't believe in . Liberals are the ones who demand safe spaces in universities of all other places

raumdeuter:
How do you know Americans voted against their interest?

Anyone who does not share their points of view is wrong. The same who see no evil talk no evil hear no evil re democrats. Who live in the lala land only hearing what they want to hear
The same ones who are happy they won't see ever see any post you make once they block you here.

Canada , paper ballots , no electronic scanners, results out same day.
Big brother down south ,many results delay for weeks despite having the most advanced economy.

WEF globalist wins election after liberals imported millions of voters.
Says Friendship with America is OVER.

Trump didn't care if liberals won.
https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/trump-says-he-doesnt-care-if-liberals-beat-conservatives-canada-2025-03-19/

Now they have won . The USMCA is dead by his words but is still binding. Canada $600 B exports to America are huge , whether Carney likes it or not , he has to negotiate with Trump.
Actually Trump had said he'd rather deal with liberals than conservatives.

While they are happy they sent a message to Trump, the government will still need to send it's proposals to Trump. Who will look at it , reject what he don't like or simply send them his proposals with a take it or leave it.
Trunp holds the Ace card.
I'm reliably informed Trump rhetoric about the 51st state came up because Canada had begged him not to crash their economy via tariffs and blocking transshipments of Chinese merchandise.
I am not a ware of how much damage the liberals have wrought to Canada with outsourcing to Asia, curtailing big oil and enacting suffocating environmental and climate change policies to their industries.

First, UK nor hardly any country would dump their US bonds, and if they do, buyers would be found on the open market at a price that would make the yield seem good. Just think. If UK dumps at say 70% of face value, the yield earned would seem more. There's even scalpers who'd be glad to buy it just as they bought Argentina's debt for cents on the dollar when they went bankrupt. 2.1% on a coupon bought for 20 cents is like 100% interest a month.

If USA can't pay the interest on its loans and your default scenario were to occur, USA would just need to pay higher interest to sell bonds to finance their budget, and there's always buyers at a price (of say 20-30% or above, I exaggerate). The consequences would of course bankrupt America and Americans, who would be caught in the crossfire of high interest payments and currency devaluation and deflation, not just in food and services as is current, but in assets (bonds, stock, property etc), too. But that's the price of owing debt you can't pay.

You are implying debt is a carefully constructed scheme to earn select few billions. If so, i also largely agree.
Most of the G8 countries have over 70% of their debt domestic. America with it's gazillion debt the 35% foreign debt component is more than some G8 countries GDP.
Democrats are the ones who drive debt higher by having more social spending , paying off student loans for useless degree courses eg from Trump university. Medicare for everyone including illegals and MS13 gang members . Ploy to win vote and virtue signalling, net effect is to drive up debt to the stratosphere.
Now that Trump is pushing back,the democrats are apoplectic the golden goose won't be laying eggs forever
Better the US economy crash under Trump as soon as yesterday.

nateevs:
A bargain? This is a misinterpretation of how bonds work sir. You have completely missed out the fundamentals of risk and default.

In June 2025, the US has to refinance about $8Trn worth of Treasuries. Those bills were issued in about 2015 with a coupon date of about 2.1% if i am right. Then it would cost the Treasury $170bn a year.

At the current 4.25% yield rate, it will cost $340bn to finance the same debt.

So if the UK were to dump $700bn of US bonds and yields went up to say, I don't know.... your median figure of 8% now; this means the US has to refinance same debt in June 2025, at a stagerring coupon rate of $650bn per year!!!!

To put things in perspective, this is more than the annual budget of the Navy, Army, Airforce and Marines combined. This will means that effectively, the US is bankrupt.

The secondary effects of crash of the US dollar, the Fed having to raise interest rates to 8% will make sure that GDP goes to sleep forever.

And this is why Nobody, I mean Nobody, will touch it.

In other words, you would want Trump to fail in reining on interest rates and public debt.
I doubt he will.

happney65:
Canada give themselves better brain.

Canada has 23% of it's population from immigrants.
America is headed there. As long as the Liberals in Canada import more immigrants they will always have an edge in the elections.
Till the day a certain class of the immigrants become the Praetorian guard that brought down Rome.

bemeruca:
No more junks from China. They are feeling the heat

What the Chinese send to America is higher quality than the junk they send to Africa. They will soon have a glut of if high quality products with nowhere to sell to. Nigeria will benefit. No more fake Russell Hobbs kettles.
I'm watching lithium batteries very closely.

benalvino3:
🤣😂 You are comedy.

At least you see it as I see it. It's a useless feature.

I won't block anyone. As long as I know your head is empty I can live with that. Those who delight in blocking are the ones who think they are smart and take offence when challenged .

budaatum:
Yes it is in the interest of globalists, who watch in glee as that debt rises and guarantees a future payout.

They will reap their benefit when USA can no more afford the interest on the debt (not to talk of the principal), and the currency devalues and the interest rockets moonwise a la Argentina.

Think what China might have planned the last 25 years and you might see spending more than earned is not sustainable.

That in a nutshell explains why the rest of the world hates Trump. He can see how the globalists are circling like vultures and wants to reverse that .
Paradoxically they don't care if America goes down at the expense of China.
My position is very clear with the Chinese. They should not accede to superpower status neither should they replace America at the helm. I'd rather have America and Europe , they pride themselves in following the law, though EU is a legal dictatorship that is clutching on the straws desperately trying to break any nationalist rising within it's block.
