Trump winning in 2024 does seem sus, but this isn’t "MAGA style election denialism". It’s more like the slimy tactics Texas Repubs have used since the 1990s to maintain control: legal, strategic manipulation of electoral systems.

This fool needs to be 2014 Vitaly Zhuravsky’d stat… (in a video game).

In 2014, pro Russian Vitaly Zhuravsky, tried to install himself as Ukrainians leader. The people grabbed his traitorous ass, dragged him into the street, and threw him into a literal dumpster.

What a slimy lazy lying POS thief.

Immediately after getting inaugurated, he froze Biden’s drug pricing reforms, calling them "an overreach," halted it, and now he's literally rebranding a nearly identical order, and taking credit for it.

Trump claims that he's lowering drug costs when he's just rebranding the biden plan that he halted in January. He's trying to claim it as his idea.

I've pasted the ridiculously long rant here. The TL/DR is: I am a lazy lying thief.

For many years the World has wondered why Prescription Drugs and Pharmaceuticals in the United States States of America were SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE THAN THEY WERE IN ANY OTHER NATION, SOMETIMES BEING FIVE TO TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SAME DRUG, MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME LABORATORY OR PLANT, BY THE SAME COMPANY??? It was always difficult to explain and very embarrassing because, in fact, there was no correct or rightful answer. The Pharmaceutical/Drug Companies would say, for years, that it was Research and Development Costs, and that all of these costs were, and would be, for no reason whatsoever, borne by the "suckers" of America, ALONE. Campaign Contributions can do wonders, but not with me, and not with the Republican Party. We are going to do the right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for many years. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country's history. Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%. They will rise throughout the World in order to equalize and, for the first time in many years, bring FAIRNESS TO AMERICA! I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION'S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World. Our Country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens Healthcare Costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before. Additionally, on top of everything else, the United States will save TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The incompetence!!
Absolute, unadulterated economic illiteracy and idiocracy.

This is stupidity on a scale I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed before. JFC!! 😡 😡

This might be the first large-scale application of Al technology to geopolitics.. 40, 03 high, Gemini 2.5 pro, Claude 3.7, Grok all give the same answer to the question on how to impose tariffs easily.
100)
For example, if the US runs a $20 billion deficit on $100 billion worth of imports from a country, the calculated rate is
(20/100)x100 = 20%. If the deficit were only 5%, you'd still
impose a 10% floor.
Okay, let's break down the idea of using tariffs to achieve an "even playing field defined as eliminating the US trade deficit.
While the goal of balancing trade is understandable, devising an "easy way to calculate tariffs to achieve this is extremely complex, and most economists would argue it's not feasible or desirable for several reasons.
This method ignores the intricate dynamics of international trade-such as elasticities, retaliatory measures, and supply chain nuances-but it provides a blunt, proportional rule to 'level the playing field. One might implement it in Python like so:
However, let's outline a highly simplified conceptual approach based only on the numbers, ignoring the vast real-world complexities and consequences:
w٧٢٧٧ ٠U٧Y
partners with 2024 deficits, using data from The Motley Fool and similar calculations (assuming scaling factor of 50 for consistency):
3. Apply a tariff rate that corresponds to this percentage, with your minimum 10% floor: Tariff Rate - max(Deficit Percentage, 10%)
This creates a proportional response where countries with larger trade surpluses with the US would face higher tariffs.
For example:
• If Country A has a 25% trade surplus with the US (meaning the US has a 25% deficit), apply a 25% tariff
• If Country B has a 5% trade surplus with the US, apply the minimum 10% tarift

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did.
Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.
So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion.
$17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff
rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

This tweet is correct, but it's actually worse than I thought: in calculating the tariff rate, Trump's people only used the trade deficit in goods. So even though we run a trade surplus in services with the world, those exports don't count as far as Trump is concerned. x.com/JamesSurowieck...

Just 9%(estimated) of all voting aged adults who call themselves MAGA & extreme sycophants for Tя☭mp understood the so-called “mandate”

Other voters:
*Didnt vote for Tя☭mp
*Didnt vote
*Disenfranchised
*Just wanted lower costs

9% (22m) out of 258m is NOT a mandate 4anything other than lower prices…

On behalf of every hardworking and selfless military veteran and/or current military member, I present….the “dumb bitch” salute....🫠🖕

Remember, she’s not the only one to verbally vomit this anti-veteran, anti-federal workforce bullshit propaganda...

Hitler's Reich: After WWl, many German veterans were pushed out of civil service, and the Nazi Party framed them as "inefficient" to replace them with ideologically
aligned officials. Stalin's Purges: Veterans and skilled officers were dismissed from military and government roles under accusations of being "disloyal" or "ineffective," weakening
institutional independence. Erdogan's Government Purge: In Turkey, after the failed 2016 coup, thousands of veterans and government
workers were fired under claims of being "unfit" or "threats to efficiency," allowing for mass replacement with
loyalists. Mussolini's Fascist Italy: Public workers, including veterans, were dismissed to centralize power under the
fascist state, replacing them with party loyalists.

This Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who have put their lives on the line to
