[Directly because of trump] Canada is bringing train manufacturing home, abandoning the United States.
In 2018, VIA Rail ordered new trains from Siemens Canada. Those trains were built and assembled in Sacramento, California. American workers got the jobs. That era is over.
Canada has awarded Alstom a C$4.7 billion contract for 313 new passenger rail cars. Design and engineering will happen in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Québec. Car bodies will be built in La Pocatière, Québec. Final assembly will take place in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Prime Minister Mark Carney made the shift unmistakable. "Cars that used to be built in the United States will be built right here in Thunder Bay, at Alstom, by the best workers in the world."
Canadian officials say it will support nearly 700 jobs and generate more than $1.6 billion in economic benefits.
Donald Trump spent years promising that tariffs and protectionism would drag manufacturing back to American soil. Instead, Canada just used the same logic to pull a manufacturing contract away from the United States entirely.
Sacramento built the last generation of Canadian trains. Ontario will build the next one.
The jobs, the supply chains, and the economic benefits are moving north.

The Reviews Are In: Trump’s Convention Speech Was a Total Bust
Republicans spent more than $40 million to produce their unprecedented midterm convention—but even that enormous investment couldn't convince the American public to tune in.
Trump spoke at the Dallas event on Wednesday night for more than 90 minutes. Yet the latest Nielsen ratings data, obtained Friday by Mediaite, proves that pretty much no one was interested.
The speech pulled 2.5 million viewers on Fox News, one of the few networks that aired the spectacle. That's actually a slight *LOSS* compared to Fox's typical programming in the same time slot.

Under Trump administration, federal work force has declined to lowest level in a decade but budget shows little cost savings because of spending elsewhere. He claims work force is too big but government accountability office argues that FEMA is under staffed by thousands of employees. Problem is some states need federal help in responding to major disasters.

it wouldn't matter if there were 10x more employees, blue states will only continue to have things taken away rather than given to them. fema has spent at least 608 million on the alligator alcatraz deal so far. not on infrastructure it seems. where did the money go?

On foreign affairs has dropped 10 percentage points since the start of the year.
This drop largely coincided with the war in Iran. His approval rating on foreign affairs stood at 36% a month after the start of the war and has dropped seven points to 29% since then.

Overall, just 29% of US adults approve of Trump’s handling of foreign affairs, a new low in CNN polling across both of his terms as president,
while 71% say they disapprove!

a quote from AP polling today: "About 6 in 10 rural Republican voters say Trump has improved the national economy, compared with only about 2 in 10 independents and fewer than 1 in 10 Democrats."
these same people call into the local AM talk radio show before or after Hannity, endlessly shaking their fists at those zucking left coasters who think they're mindless sheep.

Hurry up November! I wonder what the mindless maga minions think when they see tRump leave his lipstick prints all over Xi Ping, Putin, and Il Jong, while standing before them and calling Democrats degenerate commies? Things were vastly better with the Biden Administration! That’s a Fact!

Ratings are so low on Trump's [much heralded] new livestream TV that more people are tuning into YouTube to watch a blank screen with the sound of a running box fan!
The [racist/convicted felon/sex-offender/fascist-asshole] launched Trump TV, a livestream [another FASCIST propaganda medium] that never stops running, Monday.
"TRUMP TV IS STREAMING NOW. 24/7, updated in real time, with top past moments, announcements, and the latest and greatest from the administration all in one place," the White House wrote on X alongside the video. "Not every big moment has made it on your tv, now it can."
But it seems more people are interested in watching videos that can put them to sleep rather than an old Trump speech. At one point, a YouTube video showing a black screen with just the sound of a box fan on high speed had more streams than Trump TV!

Trump's Claims Of Widespread Noncitizen Voting Dealt Major Blow After Bombshell Report
Claims of widespread voting by noncitizens made by Trump and Markwayne Mullin took a major hit Thursday.
The rebuke of the Trump administration came in a bombshell report from The New York Times, in which Nevada election officials said all 185 names DHS claimed were noncitizens were, in fact, U.S. citizens.

US consumer sentiment fell to its second-lowest level on record in September as high gas prices further soured Americans’ views of [Trump's economy]
The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index for September dipped down to 48.1, notching a 7% decline from August and a nearly 13% drop from a year ago, according to data released Friday.
The survey dates back to 1952,
meaning Americans are feeling worse now [under the awful trump/MAGA regime]
than they did during wars,
the 1970s oil crisis,
9/11,
the Great Recession,
the Covid-19 pandemic
and the inflation surge afterward.

and yet trump continues to say our economy is great, the greatest ever. Whats truly sad when i hear him say that bullshit is how many of his maga sheep actually still believe his nonsense. I cant believe that there are still that many gullible people in our country that get so easily fooled by a career criminal con artist.
Here in ny we got trumps clone bruce blakeman running for governor. This clown has actually said that trump is the greatest president in his lifetime. Hes using the trump ad playbook. "I WILL LOWER YOUR TAXES, CUT FOOD PRICES AND CUT YOUR ELECTRIC BILL" LMFAOOOOOOO.
All i can say to my fellow NEW YORKERS if you want some more trump pain, then vote for blakeman. You should all ask him how hes gonna cut your electric bills, since The Governor has no control over electric prices, the same way trumpy has no control over electric prices.
Someday people might actually get it.
Woner when the magas are gonna get their 10k checks.
One man and his cast of flunkies have destroyed our 250 year old country in a span of less then 2 years. Let that sink in people.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A judge in the nation's capital agreed on Thursday to permanently dismiss a criminal case charging a former Olympian with vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, a move that could prevent federal prosecutors from reviving the case under political pressure from [the Tyrant in the Oval]
D.C. Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman ordered the dismissal of David Hearn's case with "prejudice," which would block U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office from refiling the felony charge against him.
Trump and administration officials have continued to falsely accuse the Maryland resident of vandalizing the reflecting pool despite Pirro's decision to drop the case on July 31. Trump responded by saying Pirro "choked" and "folded like an umbrella."

Politicians often appeal to stupid voters in order to gain power. When stupid people gain power. they increase danger to all. So it is the job of the intelligent to keep the stupid in check. More reason to vote democrats in midterm elections.
