US Political News and Trump’s China visit

No one is "better" assimilated unless you are white in Trump's eyes.

It's not hard to see at all Trump deportation policy only focus on Hispanic and Minority people, there are tons, like tons (well, thousands) of criminal illegal that were from Europe and Canada. None of them, as far as I know, were targeted.

As I said on the other thread, start talking to me about deportation when he finally deported this woman.

She was too blue-eyed to be deported. She fits the image of what Trump deems keepable.

True, for him if you’re not white you ain’t right. But beyond 2029, once the racial issue is less of a thing, as the pendulum will swing back to such blatant racism, most Americans will still want language proficiency to improve as well as retain many low end and mid level jobs for domestic labor.

LOL, there are tons of these people around the US, but all we see from the TV is Mexican or Asian dude getting deported, I mean how many Canadian Biker you think is living in the US that had substantial criminal record? How many Eastern European illegal in the US?

As long as they are white and Christian, you won't get touched. I mean if anything and we judge by the level of Ghislaine Maxwell (another criminal illegal) level of Cooperation with Trump, I am surprise Trump didn't offer Anna Delvey US Citizenship already.

I mean that's how it goes right? On one hand, you have a woman who scam over $300,000 and took $10,000 doing photoshoot in Central Park, and on the other, you have bunch of Mexicans working their arse off in a farm around Southern US, of course you are deporting those who work an honest job but reward the woman who scams people. That's just how it goes....

That is if we would ever had another election in 28 (or 26) to begin with. You do know Trump is working very hard to make those elections to never see the end of the day. lol

This is just stupid, unless they are planning to make US a dictatorship (maybe it is, I don't know) do they not know whatever they did here and now will be replicated by the Democrats to use against them when they come back to Power?

Yeah, he talks a lot, but he knows he won on people’s discontent against the status quo, then lost in 2020, then won in 2024, and is set to lose in 2026.

On the economy, if things don’t get better by mid 2026 at the latest, the midterms won’t go his way, for sure.

Even now, many of those that voted to get out the “bad hombres”, see how and who he goes after.

The horrifying suspicion is that he meant it when he told his base ‘you won’t need to vote after this election’.

Given the level of corruption, racism and constitutional violations Trump and MAGA Republicans have engaged in, I genuinely fear that the goal is to somehow rig the elections/system to ensure they continue destroying this country.

Additionally, with an overwhelming majority of democratic voters turning against Israel, what role is the powerful Israeli lobby going to play to ensure unfettered support for their genocidal policies?

Handmaid’s Tale is looking less and less like fiction.

I don’t think anyone could have worded it as well as Oliver did.

I don't know man, it do look grim, but I still believe American will do what's right with the country and not allow this to happen, you need to have faith that the other will make the right decision to prevent this from happening. I don't think this is over the point of no return yet.

As for the Israeli lobby, they will do what they used to do, that's play both side, again, they will just do things on the downlow instead of out in the open if and when the Democrats were elected. Sadly the Muslim population is not really a big pulling factors in the US, and most of these young people will move on to some other injustice once they found them, that's how grass root movement is all about, you WILL find something that the government is doing and you don't agree on, and with the current administration, it doesn't lack the topic....

Economy in 2026 does not set in 2026, if things does not improve in the next couple of month, we are going to go into a very bad position economically when we hit 2026, because one things pushing the other.

Think of it this way, you don't just close down if and when you are losing customer due to Tariff, you are going to hang on a bit, raise price to try to stay aflow, and then you go bust, there are a few months in between before the event actually affect the economy to show in corporate spread sheet, and we are heading there now, if things don't improve before Thanksgiving 25, that mean import are going to drop in late 25 and early 26, that mean we don't have enough stock (as we don't make anything) in the consumer market, which mean it's raise cost for production, that means rising cost of consumer price, which lead to inflation, at the same time, company cannot affort to pay Tariff in a long time, either they will need to off load it to the customer and lose them and they will go bust, or they goes into red and they go bust. PPI (The producer Index) for July 25 risen 0.9%, which mean people who are producing goods is paying 0.9% more, to produce goods in July, that was meant to be 0.2 or 0.3%, this is a 300% increase in estimation, which mean you are looking at those product that were produced now will be 3 to 4 times the selling price when they hit the shelve, that's not sustainable if this is true (We don't know) and this is only going to get bigger and harder if the Tariff thing is not resolved.

I was being generous to our dope of a president, but you’re right. If things don’t turn around by year’s end, things don’t look good for Teflon Don and the Republicans prospects in the midterms.

Some of the early cuts to Medicaid start kicking in start 2027, and as that trickles through, with worse service after staffing cuts, especially in rural areas, many districts may start turning against the republicans nominee for 2028, regardless of who he or she is.

I just don't see how Trump turn this around.

My family runs an export business, we know for a fact that if you want to catch the November/December peak, you need to make your order by August, and us being supplier to Bedframe, Fans and so on, we can stake it out longer, but if you are talking about consumer electronic, they probably already missed the deadline, or they would have to be putting in 40%+ tariff, there are no way anyone will stomach that much.

PPI increase is a very alarming figure (Again, assuming that was correct) because producer sell to wholesale, and they get their stuff cheaper than consumer. Usually wholesale price is 2 to 3 times of retail price so you can expect the increase is also 2 to 3 times the PPI inflation, and that's in the beginning of this trade war. A lot of tough time ahead.

As for Mid-Term and 2028, I don't think there is a way to do anything on Mid-Term, and I honestly don't think economy will bounce back, again, unless Trump can close all their deal in the next week, which is almost impossible, and if economy is down, and political influence is down, there are no way anyone is going to vote for Trump's candidate just because of the immigration and law enforcement issue, which by itself is wishy-washy. This is like watching a dumpster fire from afar, amaze how strong it gets but can do nothing to stop it. On the other hand 2028 is another issue, if the Dem don't come up with a leader soon, 2028 remain to be seen, but if the Dem can push forward a leader that people can stand behind and have good policy, Dem WILL win the 2028 election if the GOP trajectory remain unchanged.

I think Trump only cares about himself. So he will enjoy his presidency, and go off into the subset of Mar-A-lago, not caring what happens. Most of the cuts for his big beautiful bill will kick in in 2029, with some in 2027. The fallout is to happen on the next president’s watch so they can be blamed and the republicans can come back in 2032.

I think Trump was really serious about turning things around once that hill was passed. If dems win back congress they have to layout every day what the big beautiful bill cuts and that they plan to repeal it.
