What damage to America does the traitor and his party plan for the rest of the year.?

Over time, markets appear to panic less to Trump threats because he always seem to chicken out by extending deadlines.  If tariffs are fully imposed, economists expect US would suffer lower economic growth, higher inflation and unemployment.   Americans importers pay for higher tariffs and foreign exporters sell less to US.  Other countries really cannot stop reckless Trump from harming the US.  Lack of trade deals suggest best option may be for other countries to wait until end of insane Trump term.

I hope we will wait too - but how most “big” countries here in Europe talks about it I fear they won’t if he goes through with it - I think they will take it as a litteral declaration of war - since we have done nothing than trying to comply until now - if our two blocks start fighting economically - it could have unrecoverable damage probably for both of us - but at least 100% for you guys (we can remove your ability to conduct business not just with us - but with everyone - we are the guys that control all international business)

ABC news report that Trump administration's plan to limit rental assistance to two years could cause 1.4 million poor households to lose government subsidized housing.  Tenants are mostly working families with children.

 WASHINGTON (AP) — [the disgusting rapist/felon/MAGA-asshole in the Oval] is granting two years of regulatory relief to coal-fired power plants, chemical manufacturers and other polluting industries as he seeks to reverse Biden-era regulations [designed to protect American's air and drinking water]

Associated press estimates rollback of environmental regulations could lead to additional 30,000 deaths each year.  US needs more electricity but Trump chooses the worst solution.  Over the next decade, electricity cost is expected to increase in every state because coal and gas cost more than wind and solar.

lets wait what Colbert has to say , as long as he has a platform to speak 

China is lightyears ahead of you in the solar system department - so it is kind of poetic - you go down as a nation because you like a spoiled child deny to follow on with the times - I couldn’t have written a more American way of going down if it was a movie

Error in grid planning for Trump administration to order coal power plants to keep operating despite retirement plans by utilities.  Unnecessary to force customers to pay billions more for the most unreliable power plants.  Coal power is a dying industry.  75% of coal plants are over 40 years old, exceeding their expected life span.  Coal has shrunk from 50% of US electricity generation in 2008 to only 15% in 2025 because of competition from cheaper gas and renewable energy.  Now 90% of new electricity comes from wind and solar sources.

So what the person and his administration up to today.

Spread chaos discontent.

Fire veterans in discriminately because his bag pal Elon said so.

Destroy the world economy...

Create violence discord and hate in America....

Or all of the above...yes gotta keep an eye on the traitor he doesn't smile until he ruined at least 10,900 lives each day and every day.

NPR reports that Trump has signed order to make it easier for cities to remove homeless people to hospitals or shelters.  But homelessness is not a medical condition that requires treatment.  Vast majority of mentally ill people aren't homeless and institutionalization doesn't address problems that create homelessness.  Experts say poverty and lack of affordable housing are the main causes of homelessness.  National homelessness law center condemns Trump order because forced institutionalization is unethical, ineffective and illegal.

Republican Rand Paul Trashes Trump Tariffs on MSNBC:

         ‘They’re a Tax’ 

Apparently, Trump was lying about protecting social security. According to the Hill, his treasury Secretary suggests an one time payment of $1000 in stock investment account to each baby to replace social security.

Tariffs are ‘paralyzing’ employers

High uncertainty over Trump’s economic policies — specifically a volatile trade policy and shifting tariff rates — have been blamed for putting a stranglehold on employers’ growth plans.

“Tariffs and uncertainty are paralyzing employers,” Gregory Daco, chief economist at EY-Parthenon, told CNN in an interview.

“This (jobs report) is really bad because we can see the impact of [trump's] trade and immigration policy hurting demand for hiring,” Brusuelas said.

    He noted that goods-producing industries lost 13,000 jobs, with 11,000 of those losses coming in manufacturing. 

Tariffs increase the cost of materials for manufacturing which makes US products less competitive against other countries.  Oddly, trade deals with Japan and United kingdom make US cars more expensive because of tariffs against Canada and Mexico.  Long term trend is downward for US manufacturing despite Biden subsidies and Trump tariffs to boost industry.  Most western countries have service economy instead of goods economy.

Of course he was lying. 

And it's a sure tell when he opens his mouth...

Risky for Trump administration to open retirement saving plans to alternative investments such as private equity, crypto currency and real estate.  Experts warn of less transparency, low liquidity, high fees, volatility and lack of regulations.  In worst scenario, US risk of a future financial crisis.

 He will anyway, even if the majority are against it.

US July budget deficit up 20% under trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. budget deficit in July
climbed 20% this fiscal year compared to the last
despite the U.S. treasury taking in record income
from Trump’s tariffs, according to Treasury Department
data released Tuesday.

This comes as the federal government’s gross national debt
creeps up to the $37 Trillion mark!

Even as Trump talks about America becoming rich
because of his import tax hikes, [trump's] federal spending
keeps outpacing the revenues collected by [his regime].
That financial picture might change as companies exhaust
their pre-tariff inventories, forcing them to import more goods

MSNBC reports that Trump administration plans to allow tech giant Nvidia to sell artificial intelligence chips to China  by paying 15% export tax. Previously, Trump delays ban on Tik tok by extending deadline for sale in the U.S. However export taxes are illegal and selling technology for profit threatens national security.

Reporter: “Will Russia face any consequences if Vladimir Putin does not agree to stop the war after your meeting on Friday?”

Grandpa Fucko: “Yes, they will. There will be very severe consequences.”

Oh boy, TACO has teed this one up.

TO BE CONTINUED

CNN reports on 200 protests in 34 states against republican gerrymandering for future elections.  Problem is partisan gerrymandering of electoral map encourages cheating to guarantee outcome before election.  Fairer if every state has non-partisan gerrymandering committees to draw maps.  Extreme gerrymandering is one of the reasons why US has a failing democracy.

our very weak president who was elected by republicans chickened out again

Big mistake if Trump's justice department dismantles its tax division.  According to the Hill, tax evasion costs government $447 billion each year which is greater than claims of government waste.  Yet fraud prosecutions have declined 50% in recent decade.  Top 1% income earners evade taxes at 3 times the rate of those in bottom 50%.  For example, New York judge imposed $367 million penalty against Trump organization for tax fraud and falsifying business records.  If the rich don't pay their fair share, ordinary Americans are forced to cover the difference. So tax division deserves reinforcement instead of dismantling to uphold justice, public trust and save tax payers billions.

Which means trump will do it anyhow...
