You know what they say about birds of a feather
President Donald Trump’s attempt to revive the long-defunct Presidential Fitness Test veered into political scandal and absurdity Thursday after he launched the children’s health initiative alongside a convicted sex offender, boasting that there’s "nobody like him."


It was meant to be a nostalgic salute to American fitness. Instead, it became a microcosm of the Trump presidency: chaotic, controversial, and colliding with decades of unresolved questions about power, accountability, and abuse.

In front of cameras, Trump signed an executive order reinstating the Presidential Fitness Test in public schools. Framed as a national push for “discipline, strength, and American excellence,” the initiative was rolled out at a Roosevelt Room event meant to evoke Cold War-era unity. What it evoked instead was outrage.


That anger was not about the test itself, though it has its critics, but about who Trump chose to stand beside him.

Former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, 66, stood just feet from Trump during the launch. Taylor is a registered sex offender who, charged with statutory rape in 2011, pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute after paying for sex with a trafficked 16-year-old girl, ESPN reported. He claimed he believed she was 19. He was sentenced to six years of probation and ordered to register as a sex offender. In 2024, he was arrested again in Florida for failing to update his address on the state registry, a repeat violation, ESPN reported.

Related: The DOJ to Ghislaine Maxwell: ‘Pardon me, do you mind lying and denying for Donald Trump?'

Trump not only invited Taylor but handed him the microphone. “I’m proud to be on this team,” Taylor said. “I don’t know why. I don’t know what we are supposed to be doing, but I’m here to serve.”

“Nobody like him,” Trump said about Taylor after he spoke

So since I'm still gloating. Tulsi Gabbard has said she has more info on 2020 elections.
Not bamboo. Budaatum. But FBI knew the Dominion voting machines had vulnerability. FBI hid this evidence going on to claim that Joe Biden got 81 million votes He didn't, I think maybe around 72m democrat dumbo stolen votes
They stole 2020. They should give Trump a 3rd term.
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 1:28pm On Aug 02, 2025
And I've been silent. Netflix should make a movie about this whole shit, how democrats said election was perfect knowing they stole.
I'll post more later..
I was right all along .
I've asked , where is proof Joe Biden got 81 m votes more than 14 milion St Jesus the criminal could muster

The people who keep saying tax the rich, they are rich and refusing to pay more

Even Bernie Sanders when he was not a millionaire he used to scream tax the millionaires but now he is a millionaire he switched the message to tax the billionaires

Have any of those screaming tax the rich offered to pay more taxes in their own personal life
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 2:18pm On Aug 02, 2025

Should be voluntary. If you want to pay more taxes no one preventing you.
I've been in Kenya for 3 weeks, crazy, they use mobile money to buy a matchbox. In America you just write a cheque ( check).
That is why all those screaming for increase in taxes should lead the way by examples

They should pay more

The amount in tariffs collected by the government in July rose to $28 billion, from $26.6 billion in June, $22.2 billion in May, $15.6 billion in April, and $8.2 billion in March, when collections from the new tariffs began.

I am surprised the winning is not getting to your side, cos its so much winning here that I am almost tired of it, Winning every week

Lemme ask where do you shop? Sprouts or whole foods abi where are things that expensive abi you dey carry $40k Hermes bag enter store ni and they inflate prices for you

Come dey shop for Texas where everything soft for us

Why do you want the rich taxed? They already pay the bulk of the taxes as it is
Despite Raum's posts being nonsensical, they are quite illuminating.

He is arguing that during one of the worst job reports in 10 years, that Trump and America is still winning.
And in the last few days he has argued:
That, no one deserves a job, so if unemployment increases, so what.
That, since you can afford higher prices, why complain.

It's never been about policy with these people.
I hope that the Dems that keep pretending that if they found the right mix of policies they can reach these people, hopefully finally see that.

This is a politics section, there are some words that are in the political discourse that should be able to be used, like pedo.philia.

Glad I can educate you and reduce your ignorance

No one is guaranteed a job if your employer does not need your services you cant force them to keep you

There are no higher prices. Gas prices are down, groceries are down

The policy is to make America great in case you haven't heard. We are doing great right now and winning

Yes, in distorted MAGA reality, prices aren't increasing and people losing their jobs is ok because no one is guaranteed one.
While the rest of the US is blaming Trump for the high cost of living.

Start your own business and employ those people then guarantee their employment even if they are not making you a profit

Leftism is a mental disease

Presidents run on improving the economy, creating jobs and decreasing unemployment.
Raum: Unemployment is ok, people working is Leftism and a mental disease.

The truth is how does anyone rationalize with someone who says such ridiculous things?
You don't, you just mock them.

u know i have always maintained that once election is lost people should learn to move on.

It is unreasonable to expect to be handed presidency even after election loss.

what is worst is the tantrum.


my worst fera is the effect all this can be having on the president.

Please leave this man to work, stop the distraction and drama.

President run on improving the economy so that private employers can grow do business more make profit and employ more

Not just filling the economy with govt jobs

No one is guaranteed a job if you are not providing value to your employer like leftists want

Demanding your employer keeps you on a job regardless of if hes making a profit or you are providing value is the insane belief of communists and leftists

Fyi. The goal of government jobs isn't to make profit, but to fulfill services.
The services that the fired employees offered were essential that's why there are things like:
-lack of flood warnings,
-huge increases in wait times for seniors seeking Social Security, (forcing the agency to slot in other untrained employees from other departments which decreased the efficiency and has a cost in itself in new training and further deficiencies in the departments they came from)
and of course, agencies scrambling to hire employees back.

You live in this weird world, where facts and logic don't matter.
You seem not to understand how the government works. Or you do and you're doing your intellectual dishonest thing again.
