Apparently the WH Dictator/bully sees the US Treasury as his own personal piggy bank.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't Congress be the ones to vote to appropriate $10 billion dollars for his "Board of Peace" to help rebuild Gaza?

Lashing out after the SOTU on Truth Social because someone used their 1st Amendment Right to criticize him."Trump threatens to DEPORT Robert De Niro in unhinged tirade after State of the Union.In a late-night meltdown that stunned even longtime observers, President Donald Trump launched a furious attack on Hollywood icon Robert De Niro - and floated the idea of deporting him.Yes. Deporting him. An American citizen.After facing heckling during his State of the Union address, Trump took to Truth Social to unload on critics, lumping De Niro in with Democratic lawmakers Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, and calling the Oscar-winning actor "sick," "demented," and "seriously CRIMINAL." He then suggested De Niro and others should "get on a boat" and leave the country.Let's pause there.Robert De Niro - born in Manhattan, raised in New York City, one of the most celebrated American actors of all time - was just threatened with exile by a sitting president for criticizing him.Trump mocked De Niro for becoming emotional and claimed some of the actor's statements were "seriously criminal," though he offered no evidence of any crime. Instead, the post read like a stream-of-consciousness rant, filled with insults, name-calling, and baseless accusations.This wasn't policy. It wasn't debate. It was pure grievance politics.And the target wasn't some anonymous online critic - it was a Hollywood legend who has spent decades shaping American culture.Trump's comments follow a familiar pattern: when challenged, escalate. When criticized, threaten. From attacking members of Congress to now fantasizing about deporting a U.S.-born actor, the rhetoric keeps getting darker.Legal experts have long warned that labeling political criticism as "criminal" is a dangerous line to cross. Free speech doesn't disappear because it hurts the president's feelings. But in Trump's world, dissent equals disloyalty. The irony? De Niro's "crime" appears to be publicly opposing Trump's policies. That's not criminal. That's democracy.And if speaking out against power now earns you a ticket "on a boat," the question isn't what De Niro did wrong. It's how far this rhetoric is willing to go.

Trump said that prescription drug prices were going to drop drastically. The one that I need rose dramatically. _________________________________________
Trump says that grocery prices were falling. My weekly grocery bill has increased this past year, and that is with us trying to buy less and wiser.

Trump made the claim that gasoline was $1.85 in some places. I travel throughout the Midwest, and I haven't seen gasoline under $2.45 anywhere.

Trump claimed that he would release the full Epstein Files. Parts of the Epstein Files have been released, and much of that has been redacted.

Trump [claims] that he has ended 8 wars. But yet he has invaded Venezuela and took their president hostage while killing hundreds in the process, he has tried to bully and intimidate Canada, Mexico, and Greenland. And now is likely to get the United States into a war with Iran.

Trump is now trying to change the presidential election voting process to swing things into heavy favor for the Republican political party.

Trump claims that he isn't racist, but recently released a graphic video of the Obamas that was clearly racist.

Trump recently transferred 10 billion dollars of American money to start the ( Board of Peace ) when NATO was already in place. Trump continues to alienate America's oldest and most trusted Allies.

Trump continues to gut programs that help middle class and lower income people while giving tax breaks and incentives to large corporations and the ultra wealthy. (Trump has filed for bankruptcy 6 times,... including casinos).

Trump claims to be tough on crime and drugs. But he has pardoned many hardened criminals and even some drug lords.

There is so much more to cover, but I will stop there........... for now.

Putting this here, since the Iranian attack is not a Fast Lane thread.Trump said this on his video from Florida this morning:
"The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties. That often happens in war."He's being hypocritical here to the max, considering the amount of criticism from Conservatives and him towards Biden when he was trying to get people out of Afghanistan as the Taliban was waging war to take it back over. And yes, it was a war.
My opinion and mine alone and not my employer's.

I wish you guys would realize the the reason our country has fallen apart so badly is because you wont let go of the hate you have for Trump. I can't imagine hating on the level that you hate, and allowing it to take over your lives.
What exactly do you have against the border being closed, deporting illegals (Your Obama deported more), lower gas prices, record stock markets, and companies returning and building their factories here, to name just a few accomplishments? Have you seen the board of peace? Did you EVER envision a lasting peace in the middle east? Do you truly believe what Biden said in SC the other night, stating that it was him that closed the border, and he left Trump with the best economy ever? Do you really believe those things? If you do, I absolutely give up, and you are even beyond debate. I truly can't wait for your responses. I can almost predict them.

@BoBandy :
He's a rapist, pedophile and convicted felon, among other things. What's to like about him?

@skutfarcus :
you aren't supposed to hate a pedo-rapist convicted felon in maga world.
Funny thing... I don't hate Rs as a whole. Many I have great affection for. trump?? no, he's a scumbag POS. I will rejoice when he no longer has a hold on the country.

I agree that the false left and right division aspect of this has contributed to the country falling apart. People on both sides won't support something that they used to because it's the other side, as in if it is Trump or Biden doing it.

Perhaps spend some time around Republicans who blame everything on Democrats. What you descibe happens on both sides. But I agree there is more from the left.

There are some benefits to the border being open. One is low cost workers to help run businesses and elder care. Crime causes support for 2nd amendment rights. The cash economy opposes the electronic surveillance state, which I consider to be the greatest threat to freedom.

They are deporting people who have been here for a long time and have integrated themselves in the US economy. If they were just deporting criminals, it wouldn't be so much of an issue. They are violating the 4th amendment and due process while doing this.

Lower oil prices mean a weaker dollar so either more inflation or higher interest rates to make up for it. The US economy is dependent on foreign workers who are supported by the USD. It's called the petrodollar for a reason.

It widens the wealth gap between the rich and poor, and if there is a coming crash it will be huge. This is also the result of inflation, which means taking wealth from those who have savings and giving it to stock market investors.

That is not really happening, it's a Trump lie. More are still moving out than coming in.

A lot of these claimed accomplishments are exaggerations or were already happening without Trump. Such as "more people are working than ever before". That's a meaningless statistic since the population continues to grow, and it also may not even be true if the real unemployment is considered. They don't count people who get a check and have stopped looking for work.@BoBandy :

My dislike for Trump has nothing to do with politics. I didn't like him when he was a Democrat. He's just a horrible, horrible human being.

This "both sides" is lazy.
Dems are not 100% innocent but it's rotten oranges vs. rotten oranges dripped in 💩 And it's the bully menace vs. the weakling during recess.
