Keeping up with Trump

Chat about a topic supported by books, TED Talks, podcasts, personal experience, philosophies of mankind mingled with humor (shout out to IOT), and maybe we’ll even do a google hangout or conference call once a month.

Trump will soon be terminating Musk due to leaving DOGE shite on the White House lawn.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has issued a blunt warning about President Donald Trump’s tariff policy: It threatens to raise prices, drive the global economy into a downturn, and weaken America’s standing in the world.

The tariffs will eat up any profit my daughter's family business makes. They won't be able to pay the 120% tariffs and customers almost certainly won't pay twice the price for their product. I am mad. :evil:
The tariffs will put them out of business.
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

Trump Claims Nazis Treated Jewish Prisoners With “Love”

Trump’s claim about Nazi kindness sent people reeling on social media.
“This isn’t just delusional. It’s Holocaust cosplay. He’s romanticizing genocide like it’s a fucking history podcast,” one user wrote on X.

That's terrible, Deacon. This must be happening to so many Americans.

All because the brilliant businessman president of the United States doesn't know the difference between a tariff and a trade deficit. By his definition, if I buy a microwave from Walmart, they are obligated to buy something of equal value from me.

And he can't do grade school math.

I wonder if BYU will submit an Amicus brief in defense of the Trump administration's attempt to limit the academic freedom of Columbia and Harvard Universities. They could make the case that the money could be better spent on them to develop more efficient administrative musket fire against both LGBTQ students and Palestinians.

Trump did't go to Church or anything, but he did give this Easter message:
Trump's full Easter message

Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country. Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten! Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America. He was, by far, our WORST and most Incompetent President, a man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing -- But to him, and to the person that ran and manipulated the Auto Pen (perhaps our REAL President!), and to all of the people who CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election in order to get this highly destructive Moron Elected, I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!

While hateful and incoherent screeds are not your typical Easter address, just remember that most Mormons voted for him.

The few active TBMs I still talk with do not regret their vote. I hear about some who regret their vote for Trump, but I don't know anyone personally that shares that regret, LDS or other wise. SMH.

A very wishful post from Elon Musk concerning the 52 Confederate States of America, (with Canada, and Greenland).

My mom is disgusted by Trump, but she just couldn't vote for Biden. When I reminded her that Biden wasn't running she said, "you know what I mean". The pretend problems are very real to them. It's a tough nut to crack.

I voted third party in this election and in the previous one. I figured it was best to vote my conscience even if I knew the person wouldn't get in.
There are 2 Gods. One who created us. The other you created. The God you made up is just like you-thrives on flattery-makes you live in fear.

Believe in the God who created us. And the God you created should be abolished.

I imagine some members voting for Russell M. Nelson or David Bednar.
