Jan 6th- Trump says he couldn't activate National guard because something Nancy Pelosi something somehting
Now- Trump says he has the absolute emergency authority to activate the DC National card because crime is an emergency.
MAGAs- both statements are consistent.

Biden admin falsified everything. From number of jobs to inflation to Washington DC crime rates
Inflation has held steady at 2.7% against an expected 2.8%. Jerome Powell refuses to lower the cost of credit
What a recession , Jerome Powell has been threatened with a lawsuit over the fed reserve renovations and has been referred criminally for lying to Congress about the scope of those minor renovations that gulped $3B.

If Jerome lowers the rate and everything goes downhill, he will still blame him.
The guy is an economist! Leave him to do his job.

I'm looking to buy a single family home - interest rate is abt 6 or 7% . I have my name down on the 3rd phase. Let him force Jerome to bring it down to 1.5 % I'm looking at the over 3 million dollars model

This is the problem I have with Jerome.

Trump has been making noise about this. Do a presser, state your concern about Trump's policy or request, then grant him his wish telling the country if things go downhill its on trump. Simple

Inflation is down, I don't know why the interest rate is high

The heatwave Wan finish me despite the temperature not even close to what we experience in Naija.

Factories close because of better lower skilled workers elsewhere too, then production is outsourced elsewhere. My only angst is that "elsewhere" is not Nigeria yet.

Americans are not stupid. Least not all of them, which is why some care about the green agenda. It includes not polluting your drinking water with your waste.

Better lower skilled workers 😂
People are still flipping burgers. Why not outsource that too?

What skill do you think is involved in assembling an iPhone?

Make I drop this one..

I think i will blame Biden for this and the Democrats..

They are solely responsible for these debts..

Trumps admin must not be blamed. The BBB and Tarrifs should resolve this in a jiffy and not adding even a dollar to the debt.

You think Powell was born yesterday or attended Trumps university ?

Jan 6th that is now endorsed as a patriotic act and no longer a problem or a stigma.

You are still waiting for that? If Tarriff causes inflation, then keeping the interest rate high is stupid as well.

Powell is doing a good job..his been non partisan since Trump appointed him till this moment..when his tenure is completed, Trump can hire a sycophant to run the federal chair if he likes.

BIDEN met Powell and worked with him, respecting the independence of that role. But god Trump, the all knowing Trump cant even continue to work with the same human being he appointed..

If inflation is down, you reduce interest rate, that's doing a good job. Powell will lose nothing if things go south.

Hahahaha pendulum swung now the tears are dripping

They do outsource burger flipping, just gone are the days to humans. McDonald's has autotills these days. You press buttons for your order and put your money in a hole then collect your big mac.

Skills involved in assembly of iphones include turning up on time, attention to detail, dedication and diligence and so on. Pretty much the same as burger flipping to be honest, just as bit more technical

I am sure a lot of people who flip burgers would prefer to assemble iPhones for the same wage.

Thats my great state of Texas

Texas proud

I remember when my guy Obaigwe1 was crying so hard about Epstein Epstein Epstein

Americans apparently dont care anymore according to CNN


Take a look here, Google searches for Epstein down 89% versus just three weeks ago, falling through the floor! It is no longer the top term searched alongside Donald Trump’s name,” Enten explained. “That’s been trading off between tariffs and Vladimir Putin with obviously the meeting coming up later this week. But at this particular point, the American people’s interest in this story, it’s quickly becoming something of a nothingburger.

The Epstein saga is becoming a political dud & nothingburger.

-Google searches for Epstein are down 89% from just 3 weeks ago.
-Trump's approval rating is holding steady & much higher than term 1 at this point in his presidency
-Less than 1% say it's the nation's top issue pic.twitter.com/rnp2M8qzdf

I do agree, Except they might not have the necessary skills.

Go on. What skills must a chinese iphone assembler have?

And don't just read the first page that comes up, dig the links too then tell me if you think magas qualify en masse as they might in China and as I hope we would too.

Chinese iPhone assemblers need a combination of technical, practical, and interpersonal skills. Key skills include strong attention to detail, manual dexterity, problem-solving, and the ability to read blueprints. They also need to be proficient in quality control, basic math, and maintaining equipment. Furthermore, teamwork, communication, and the ability to stay focused are crucial for efficient assembly line work.

Core services accelerated to 4.5% annualized in July from June (+0.36% not annualized), the worst in six months, and the second month in a row of sharp increases, and it wasn’t housing costs that did it (blue in the chart).

The three-month core services CPI accelerated to 3.2%, also the second month in a row of acceleration (red).

bayelsaowei:
you mean the Trump appointed Powell?

The same Powell who had made decisions independently both under Trump and Biden..

My friend you have nothing to say..

Trump appointed Jerome Powell. He doesn't seem to have known him, Powell was recommended by Mnucin.
He also appointed other people on recommendations. Chris Wray - Gov Christie, is another example
Many of his govt appointments were snakes , with the top ones being Mike Pence, Jeff Sessions, Rod Rosenstein, Mike Pompeo, Bill Barr, Gen Mattis, John Bolton , Rence Priebus
One of the above claimed his job was to babysit Trump.

When will you get tired of me shutting you down. Let's see what happened after Trump federalized the National guard. Leftist protesters were in the streets, then a murder happened a few blocks away. Guess you didn't hear that but you ask Gemini.

Nancy Pelosi tweeted this

@SpeakerPelosi
Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake.

Now, he’s activating the DC Guard to distract from his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education and immigration — just to name a few blunders.


Chief of Police Sund hit back with a megaton bomb.

@ChiefSund
Ma’am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people. On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it. Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority.

On January 6, while the Capitol was under attack and despite my repeated calls, your Sergeant at Arms again denied my urgent requests for over 70 agonizing minutes, “running it up the chain” for your approval.

When I needed assistance, it was denied. Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops.

Others poured in. DC National Command Sergeant clarified his men were ready

Daviscourt 📸

@KatieDaviscourt
🚨BOMBSHELL: Command Sergeant Major Michael Brooks confirms D.C. National Guard were ready to deploy to the Capitol on Jan. 6 but were never called:

"We were there and we were ready."

Trump asked for their deployment & Nancy Pelosi rejected the request

And here us Nancy Pelosi taking responsibility fir Jan 6.

The same Powell who reduced the rates just before elections . Now he won't because the tariffs (oh my ) might increase inflation.

This skills are rubbish. Their work are repetitive. They don't need problem solving skills.

I asked Grok to make paragraph using available data showing Trump economy is the worst ever🤨🤫🤫, then do the same showing its the best ever. Results

Trump Economy as the Worst Ever in Six Months of 2025: In the first six months of 2025, President Donald Trump’s economic policies have been criticized for ushering in significant challenges, potentially marking one of the worst economic periods in recent U.S. history. The economy contracted by 0.3% annualized in Q1 2025, the weakest performance since Q2 2022, driven by a 4.8% drag from net exports due to tariff-induced import surges and a 5.1% cut in federal spending. The consumer price index rose to 2.7% annually in June from 2.4% in May, with tariffs on China (up to 50%) and other nations pushing prices higher, raising stagflation concerns. Wage growth slowed from 4.2% to 3.9%, and manufacturing jobs remained stagnant at 12.8 million, undermining Trump’s promise of a manufacturing boom. The “One Big Beautiful Bill” is projected to add $3.4 trillion to the $36 trillion national debt, kicking 10 million Americans off public health insurance and cutting SNAP benefits, disproportionately harming low-income households. These policies, combined with a 11% drop in the U.S. dollar’s value (DXY index from 109.4 to 97.3), have fueled economic uncertainty, with critics arguing they’ve reversed prior growth trends and burdened working-class Americans.

Trump Economy as the Best Ever in Six Months of 2025: In the first six months of 2025, President Donald Trump’s economic policies have driven what some describe as an unprecedented boom, positioning the U.S. economy as one of the strongest in modern history. A July 2025 GDP report showed a robust 3% annualized growth in Q2, surpassing expectations, fueled by a 1.4% rise in consumer spending and a rebound in trade balances following initial tariff disruptions. Inflation remained tame at 2% (GDP Price Index), below the anticipated 2.2%, while unemployment held steady at a low 4.1%–4.2%, supporting strong job creation. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit all-time highs, with returns of 5.7% and 6.8% respectively since January 17, 2025, and the cryptocurrency market soared to $4 trillion, with bitcoin crossing $120,000. Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax cut extension and deregulation efforts have spurred investment, with economists praising the “America First” agenda for boosting domestic production and drawing historic investments. Supporters, including White House officials, highlight this as evidence of Trump defying gloomy predictions, delivering resilient growth and a “Made in America” economic surge.

Trump alone is personally responsible for 20% of America’s national debt. By the time his terrible BBB is done, he will be responsible for 33% of America’s total debt. Just one person.

When I look at the people supporting him because he’s “a good businessman”, I just have to SMH at the sheer ignorance and outright insincerity.

Oh here I come with more “fear mongering“
Except when it actually happens the ones who called or that will quietly pretend they never said so.

What happened to being a party of small government?

BREAKING: Donald Trump's fascism hits a shocking new level as a leak reveals that he's evaluating the creation of a “Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force” of hundreds of National Guard troops to crack down on American cities at a moment's notice.

We can hear the jackboots already and it gets so much worse...

According to The Washington Post which reviewed internal Pentagon documents, the new military force would be "tasked with rapidly deploying into American cities facing protests or other unrest."

As we have already seen from Trump's deployment of troops in Los Angeles and now Washington, D.C., there doesn't need to be actual unrest for him to act. He will lie, pretend that there's a crisis, and then send in soldiers so that he can look strong to his supporters and crack down on his political enemies.

The deeply authoritarian plan would place 600 troops on "standby at all tines" which would allow them to deploy in as quickly as one hour when given the order. There would be two groups of 300, stationed at military bases in Alabama and Arizona.

The estimated costs could reach hundreds of millions of dollars, burning through tax dollars to pay for keeping military aircraft and aircrews ready 24 hours a day.

The documents contain elements that have time stamps from as recent as late July and early August, indicating that the idea is still under active consideration. The earliest that they could be implemented is fiscal year 2027 if the program is created through the usual budgetary process, but given Trump's penchant for lawbreaking and disrespect for norms, it's possible that he may ultimately try to accomplish it through nontraditional means.

If we let this force be created, there will be no putting the genie back in the bottle. Trump will have a highly trained, heavily armed military force that he won't hesitate to deploy whenever he needs a distraction from his failed presidency. We'll be subjected to brutal authoritarianism to cover up stunning incompetence.

I am here to watch how it all pan out In the next one year when his administration would have achieved steady state.

So, you mean you can make crap up in your head and lie? Thankfully, courts are not gullible like you, and would require evidence and proof before they accept what you lie about.

Incidentally, Wolf Richter has been leaning maga recently. He loves tariffs and even seems to be deleting antimaga posts sometimes, but the data does not lie nor can he say he is too blind to see it.
