President Trump 2.0: The NEW one and only politics thread

Musk signals he's going to give Trump $100m. Trump responds with a White House lawn car show.

Everything. Is. Transactional.

$100,000,000 in $100 bills is a million bills.

A $100 bill weighs one gram, so a million of those would be 1000 kg, or 2200 pounds, just over a ton. That would easily fit in 80 gym sized duffel bags.

Fatfork could just pick up the phone and buzz his flunky Bessent and order him to roll 1000 kg of $100 bills off the presses and have it on his desk in the Oval Office within two hours.

Or he could just tell Musk to call up the DOGE Boyz like Big Ballz and just tell them to hit a few keystrokes and roll a few billion bucks into his bank account in Moron Loco.
 
The bipolarity of Trump 2.o is astounding. Tax cuts, unless we're throwing down tariffs. Maybe we'll cancel them. I don't know. EVs suck!, unless they're Teslas!!!Which I've never driven!
 
JFC. From a daily email newsletter. ... Thanks for cramming that in! :cool:

In the news today: President Donald Trump warns of further arrests after a Palestinian activist at Columbia University was detained; Elon Musk eyes Social Security cuts; and the Russian military said its air defenses shot down 337 Ukrainian drones over 10 Russian regions overnight. Also, what science says about eating while exercising.
 
I don't see how anyone works in such a schizophrenic environment.

One day it's "NOISES! DOOM! HAMMER! GLOOM!" and the next day -- or hours later, maybe -- it's changed and "Oh, not that bad."

Tariffs! Double tariffs! Nahh, just tariffs for now. Maybe. We'll see. Yes, cut half of that department's staff now! Oh, well, hire some of them back because they need a few people in that division. Hey, look at this electric vehicle! GAS! OIL! Oh, them? Yeah, we took away their war defense info but now we gave it back.

It's just frenetic. How the hell could anyone work like that? I guess they just shrug and know when the medicine kicks in or wears off, ship happens in cycles.
