Trump announces if elected that he will start a global trade war by implementing a mercantilist system. He will raise tariffs on “most foreign products,” phase out all imports from China in 4 years, and punish US companies who do business and invest in China.

He has. He wore a normal wig to one of his speeches a few months back and people saw the contrast between his own and his "normal" colbmover instantly. so he must have had one made to look like his normal hairstyle.

And that's the reason he looked dishevelled there with no thumbs up. Every inch of his brain was screaming that it wasn't his hair, that he was admitting he was a loser. A bald man. Imperfect. Old. Unattractive. That everyone can see it and can see what a loser he is.

My thought on that picture is more about his tiny purple hands. Mitch McConnell had a similar picture a while back. There was lots of speculation about the cause of his then. (The purple, not the tiny part)
Maybe he didn’t give a thumbs up to avoid showing more of his hands.

He's probably dealing w/a condition called "thin skin" which is due to either sun damage or aging. I have this condition, and if I bump my arm, it bruises, scrape it? I bleed.Reddog wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 8:43 pm My thought on that picture is more about his tiny purple hands. Mitch McConnell had a similar picture a while back.

Hubby gets these marks from his aged, thin skin. Time to use some moisturizing cream.

(original: Daily Beast)Trump Stiffed Local Cops. Now It’s Coming Back to Bite Him.
Jake Lahut
Wed, March 1, 2023 at 10:42 AM GMT+1
As Donald Trump’s Secret Service detail—and the size of his MAGA rallies—has ebbed and flowed, one standard operating procedure for the former president has remained constant: Whenever possible, stiff the contractors.
For all the “back the blue” merchandise one can buy at a Trump rally, finding an event where the cops actually working it had their overtime covered by the campaign is surprisingly difficult. But there’s a cost for Trump, too; the hefty bill that he tends to leave with local governments means the ex-president may have to search for even smaller, more obscure rally venues for his 2024 campaign.
In Sioux City, Iowa, for example, the former president owed more than $11,000 in unpaid reimbursements to the city police and fire departments from a rally he held there on Nov. 3, 2022. While overtime pay to cops and firemen totaled more than $10,000 on the overall tab, Trump’s Save America PAC also rented several parking lots from the city. After pressure from city officials and the local paper, the Sioux City Journal, they eventually paid up.
In Warren, Michigan, however, a city official—who requested her name be withheld—told The Daily Beast the city has yet to see any repayment from Trump for the overtime pay that cops racked up from a MAGA rally held on Oct. 1, 2022, at the Macomb Sports and Expo Center, a 2,800-seat dual arena and convention center.e.
In Lorain County, Ohio, Trump was joined at the county fairgrounds by Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) for a rally in June 2021. On Tuesday, local police told The Daily Beast they couldn’t find any reimbursements for any Trump rallies.
Of the 30 counties and municipalities The Daily Beast contacted to ask whether they’d been reimbursed for local cops and firemen supporting a Trump rally, just one—the city of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania—responded to confirm they got any money back.

DFO keeps coming to Latrobe, PA, repeatedly. I wonder if that means they pay his bills there? Of course, they are such fans there that they may put up with non-payment.

Donald Trump can be sued for January 6 riot harm, US Justice Department says in court filing
Key points:
Donald Trump is being sued by Capitol Police officers and Democratic politicians over his role in the January 6, 2021 riot
The lawsuits describe how Mr Trump spread claims of election fraud, alleging he inspired rioters to storm the Capitol
The US Justice Department says a president should not be immune from prosecution if their words are an "incitement of imminent private violence"
The department told a Washington federal appeals court in a legal filing that it should allow the lawsuits to move forward, rejecting Mr Trump's argument that he is immune from the claims. US Capitol building, the Justice Department said on Thursday in a federal court case testing Mr Trump's legal vulnerability for his speech before the riot.

We could start by getting rid of the ugly buildings at Merde-A-Lago and selected golf courses.
What federal land would be available for these new cities, and who is going to pay for the infrastructure to reach such remote areas? And what sorts of industry and commerce would sustain these outposts?
Tsk tsk, donnie.
