‘What me Worry?’
But on Sunday, the president won. Trump said he took first in the Senior Club Championship at his golf club here.
“It’s good to win,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “You heard I won, right?”
The president’s victory came as the nation’s markets grapple with the most significant financial bet of his presidency: his belief that sweeping tariffs will strengthen the U.S. economy. Economists have warned the resulting trade war and higher prices could send the nation into a deep recession. Overseas markets fell sharply overnight….

President Donald Trump has spent part of at least 24 days at his golf courses since the start of his second term. Four of those days followed his April 2 “Liberation Day” announcement….
…
The visuals made for a striking contrast, as investors have confronted a sea of red — and Trump tackled the greens. While traders weighed their put options, the president contemplated his putts.
In the nearly six hours that Trump stayed at his Palm Beach course on Friday — nearly the entire window that U.S. markets were open that day — the Dow dropped about 715 points….
….
New Open Thread is HERE…..
Morning….
The market closed -300 points
Word is that Trump has told some Republican Senators that he is “ open” to higher taxes on the richest people in the country.
Really?
Republicans increasing taxes on the wealthy?
Bernie Sanders might move his Senate desk to the Republican side!
Now we’re talking real populism!
Then again, being “ open” to something is a far cry from actually supporting it.
Told ya he aibn’t a TRUE REPUBLIICAN
Of course he’s not a Republican…
That’s why 95% of self described Republicans voted for him!
But YOU “ know” he’s not a Republican.
Hey James maybe there are no Republicans!They don’t even exist!
It’s all just a figment of our imagination!
Yeah that’s it!!!
I HAVE said this time and AGAIN and stand by it
Donald J.Trump may have the Grand ole Party
But?
His ONLY ‘Party’ is HIMSELF….
This whole thing just shows it….
GOPer’s getting screwed and he don’t CARE
Do not complicate it.
The Republican Party has fundamentally changed but is still called the Republican Party, just like a sports team when it moves to another city. People that currently identify with the Republican Party, by and large, tend to love Donald Trump, and have only a loose connection, if even that, to what existed before him, at least publicly.
There is no “Grand Ole Party.” It is a misnomer and people should really stop using the GOP label to refer to politics in the present day.
It is either the MAGA Party or NTP (New Trump Party.)
How are Republicans getting “ screwed.”
They are knowingly and indeed in many cases enthusiastically supporting Trump.
You need to read and at least attempt to understand CGs explanation of what has happened to the Republican Party.
It will be difficult for you though because of your myopic obsession as regards Trump.As to your “ stand by” comment above?
You make no sense.
The fact that Republicans in town hall meetings get shouted down?
The fact that Republicans in Red states have to deal with with loss foreign aid?
The fact that GOPers are fighting amongst themselves on the next budget bills?
The fact that 7+ US senators have joined with Democrats to possibly move to curtail Trump’s Tariff authority?
Yup!
Republicans ARE carrying a guy who just cares about HIMSELF
NOT the party he took over and now pimp’s
Yes
Donald IS SCREWING his party like he’s screwing those who voted for HIM….
He’s ONE WAY
Always has been about HIMSELF
Uh you’ve said that,then announced you “ stand by it.”
And despite all your hyperbolic ranting?
Republicans overwhelmingly remain supportive of Trump.
Yet in your mind, He isn’t a Republican because ,well, you say so.
Sorry Homer that just ain’t good enough.
Ok counselor……
There IS a deference in ‘Law Makers’ and the Republican in the streets….
Yes…..
The MAJORITY of the street people LOVE THE PIECE OF……
But as we have discussed here?
Most GOPer lawmakers ARE scared of his wrath….
I remind you
There HAVE been people voting and taking AGAINST Donald more and MORE
I posted the even Fox News people were knocking The Main Man Donald on Tariffs
We Have…..
AND?
We HAVE NOT word that Trump will pause Tariff and make deals….
No ONE KNOWS….
NOT even Donald I’d guess….
Morning People….
We’re in this car that Trump is trying HARD TO drive into a Ditch….
Morning All
Trump & Co. release a live feed of the huddled together Cabinet meeting….
Musk talking shit, kissing Trump’s behind, and of course NO ONE smilin g or complaining…..
DJT
