Trump 2.0

Donald Trump lost money during his first term. Out of office, he found a formula for profiting off politics—now he’s piling up billions.​


Donald Trump just had the most lucrative year of his life. The president is now worth a record $7.3 billion, up from $4.3 billion in 2024, when he was still running for office. The $3 billion gain vaulted him 118 spots on The Forbes 400, where he lands at No. 201 this year.

No president in U.S. history has used his position of power to profit as immensely as Trump.

What a truly inspirational business man all the deadsht presidents before him could only manage a tenth of his profits. Obviously the smartest to ever rule over the kingdom of the United States 😁
 
The point was to warn people of potential risks. Anyone saying "its fine" is actually encouraging it despite it being a grey area right now.

Any professional that says "ignore it" needs to be fired. Either they are on a payroll or should not be allowed to practice medicine.

Just Trump being Trump IMHO just gets everyone arguing and not talking about his best friend Epstein.

As for the autism thing plenty of people have said further research would be great but making the claims Trump has can lead to blaming women for having an Autistic child currently there is no link.

Plenty of women have reported since they had autistic children and hadn't taken paracetamol that in its self doesn't rule anything in or out.

Its been know that its a possibility for a while:
I've seen a few documents. I originally saw mentions of pregnancy/autism after researching that some genetic dispositions can get a reaction from it and all your skin lifts off your body.

There are too many people that are too blaise about medication. Especially around children, yes its a lot of mothers as well.
 
is it Accountability or Persecution? I agree it is hard to know for sure but the honest commentators are on board for now...

Trumps public comments destroys your point and likely make it harder for the prosecution.

But with the exception of the Supreme Court US courts still appear to be holding to reasonable judgements.

The biggest issue is clearly suppression of questioning Trump, cancelling out any fair critique of this corrupted administration.

Will be interesting where the current prosecutions land.

The out come of Trumps revenge will likely be full on prosecutions of him and his family if he cannot achieve full dictatorship.

Thanks for not saying anything substantial.

Thanks for not doing any research, you literally said nothing of any value.

President Trump talks nonstop to everyone and even answers the questions of the people that ask stupid things This is exact of opposite of Obama and Biden. Seriously do you even watch any primary sources. Is all your info third-hand edited opinion?
Will be interesting where the current prosecutions land.
Yup!

Just remember 'because Trump' is not an argument. You are so arrogant, you think you know more about the USA than 60%+ of USA citizens.

Trump is dancing in your head and you will never be as rich, powerful or successful.

17 minutes.
But an infuriatingly, while entertaining, example of what you get under a Democrat administration and the self-serving lies of DEI and BLM. What Terry Lane here used to call 'the victim industry' before he got squashed on the ABC.
Hordes of people of low qualifications and no character were appointed or elected under Obama (the rot started with him) and Biden. Installed because of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality or foremost, had a background of left activism. Many of them can't be removed because the appointments at least were often permanent.
Isn't it at the point where the arguments for reparations should swing the other way, lol?

 

If China beats the US on fusion energy, its supremacy will be assured​


On the same day as Trump took aim at America's foot with those new tariffs, something else happened that was potentially much more momentous for global geopolitics: the Italian energy giant, Eni, agreed to buy $US1 billion worth of electricity generated from nuclear fusion by the US company Commonwealth Fusions Systems (CFS).

He announced China's emissions reduction targets for 2035, contrasting his approach with Trump by talking about how China is at the forefront of the energy transition, that it would increase solar, wind and hydropower to run more than 30 per cent of its power system over the next decade and said in China, "new energy vehicles are the mainstream in the sales of new vehicles".

But then he came out with about the world's weakest 2035 target (apart from America's non-existent one, of course): 7 to 10 per cent down from the peak, whatever that was.

Renewables behemoth China surprises with soft climate target

China baffles climate experts by setting the bar low with its 2035 emissions reduction target amid speculation the renewables superpower will most likely exceed its ambitions.

Experts were baffled and unhappy, but I suspect it's simply because China is more focused on electrifying its economy than reducing carbon emissions, so it's building every type of generation, as fast as possible, including both coal and fusion.

That's because it's not just warfare that is becoming electrified through drones, but the new technology that is revolutionising civilian life: artificial intelligence.

On Friday, the chief executive of Walmart, Doug McMillon, said: "It's very clear that AI is going to change literally every job."

The military industrial complex on which American power has been based is morphing into the "electro tech stack".

China is driving hard to supplant the US in this new military industrial complex, and has already achieved leadership in electric vehicles, batteries, drones and renewable energy, and is working on semiconductors and AI.

If China beats the US to fusion energy, its supremacy will be assured.

 
As an example of Trump's hate politics, American just can't be nice to anyone these days, as the European golfers take home the Ryder Cup once again, braving insults and jeering from the New York audience.

The way this guy has pulled the US into the lowest realms of the human psyche is disgusting.

 
This congress speech by bill Clinton on immigration and border policy from 1995 would have him called a right wing extremist these days.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

No one has much tolerance for illegal immigrants, rightly.

That point dawned on Rudd when he maintained Operation Sovereign Borders, and it hasn't been withdrawn since.

I never thought much of Clinton but he said he wanted to enforce the laws and as far as I know always used due process.

Unlike Trump didn't used masked agents or deploy troops against civilians.

Musk seems to have missed the obvious.

One last thing the Democrats are not leftwing at least those that hold the reins at lest at best Republican lite.

I think Kamala Harris was, which is probably why she lost.

Clinton crime bill made crack bad for the poor and cocaine good for the rich.

You don't know anything do you.

Are you a Galah or a mean girl?

You really are the Sarah Hansen Young of these forums. You just say low IQ things based on ignorance.

The ignore button had been good for my mental health. While I am fully aware of such toxic views, it's good not to have to read them all the time.
