Is Canadian Liberal Party, or was it ever radical left as claimed. ?

 

There is a tidal wave of social media with good monetary backing that calls anything left of Mussolini a radical rabid leftist, socialist communist. 

 

Any kind of economic, safety or environmental pollution regulation becomes anti-capitalist communist extreme leftist. Flint should just put up with leaded water, Coal miners are real men who don't need to think of safety. 

Capitalism actually thrives on regulation, the confidence that markets are what they say they are helps drive investment.

 

Even NZ's National, NZF, Act coalition would look radical left, by MAGA measures of social media.

 

Probably good for Luxon to keep a long distance from White House and just quietly keep our trade profile up with other nations perhaps more receptive.

However, Trump stressed that the executive order provides only a temporary break to auto companies, allowing them more time to re-shore their manufacturing capabilities.

 

“We gave them a little time before we slaughter them if they don’t do this,” Trump said."

 

FFS, put the climate changes reports into the bin and cancel them, then be ready to slaughter US car manufacturers

Donald, you should switch from push-talk-think (that is NOT the meaning of PTT) to think-push-talk. 😈

GDP went from 2.4% growth to -0.3 decline in the last quarter. But the effect of higher prices due to tariffs is still weeks away. Citizens and businesses are reducing spending amidst uncertainty, in a few weeks it will be due to less goods will be purchased due to higher prices.

Trump, on Tariffs, Says ‘Maybe the Children Will Have 2 Dolls Instead of 30’: New York Times

President Trump has a message for the nation’s children: Prepare to sacrifice for your country.

He was taking questions at the end of one of his marathon cabinet meetings when he finally allowed that, yes, his tariff policies and the trade war he has set off with China may soon result in some emptier-than-usual shelves in stores. Specifically, toy stores.

“You know, somebody said, ‘Oh, the shelves are going to be open,’” Mr. Trump said. “Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know? And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.”

Europe's rose by exactly +0.3% in the same period. There were industrial hoarding purchases by American companies for their production.

I thought that was a meme. Actually real.

 

Trump Truth Social: @realDonaldTrump Great Pollster John McLaughlin [Trump's personal pollster], one of the most highly respected in the industry, has just stated that The Failing New York Times Poll, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll, about a person named DONALD J. TRUMP, ME, are FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS. The New York Times has only 37% Trump 2024 voters, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll has only 34% Trump Voters, unheard of numbers unless looking for a negative result, which they are. These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD, and add in the FoxNews Pollster while you’re at it. They are Negative Criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after I WIN ELECTIONS BIG, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse. They suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, and there is nothing that anyone, or anything, can do about it. THEY ARE SICK, almost only write negative stories about me no matter how well I am doing (99.9% at the Border, BEST NUMBER EVER!), AND ARE TRULY THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! I wish them well, but will continue to

Trump is losing the few inhibitions that he once had.  Early dementia?

 

A dangerous idiot in a position of great power.

The NY Times - President Is Ousting Michael Waltz, His National Security Adviser

 

breaking

 


President Trump is ousting his national security adviser, Michael Waltz, and another senior member of the White House’s foreign policy team, the first significant personnel overhaul of top aides in his second term ...

 

Mr. Waltz had been on thin ice since he organized a group chat on the commercial messaging app Signal to discuss a sensitive military operation in Yemen and accidentally included a journalist in the conversation. ...

 

 

Waltz served in the U.S. Army Special Forces, including tours in Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Africa. 

 

Waltz retired from the Army Special Forces at the rank of colonel after becoming the national security advisor under President Trump. 

 

EDIT:  see below

The plot thickens …

 

The Washington Post - Trump announces Waltz as nominee for U.N. ambassador

 


BREAKING NEWS: Trump taps Michael Waltz for U.N. ambassador, says Secretary of State Rubio will replace him as interim national security adviser.

 

President Donald Trump’s announcement on social media followed reports that Waltz, who has lost favor in the White House and among other Trump loyalists, was going to be replaced as national security adviser.

 

Marco Rubio will continue as secretary of state until a permanent replacement for Waltz is found, Trump said.

 

 

If you can't get rid of Waltz, 'promote' him?  Waltz has absolutely no relevant experience - but that doesn't matter to Trump.

Remember he put a Fox News host in the role of Secretary of Defense just because he saw him on TV...what could possibly go wrong? 🙄 /s
