Trump Goes Full Fascist in Truth Social Posting Spree

Donald Trump used Truth Social to promote QAnon, sexist claims about Kamala Harris, and the idea that he should the jail his opponents if he wins.

www.rollingstone.com

I'm sure there are readers of Truth Social here so I was wondering if you had any comments about Trump's posts today, especially those quoting QAnon. And "retruthing" a post featuring images of Kamala and Hillary and the words "Funny how blowjobs impacted both of their careers differently." Now I can think of many of you who would post this (you missed a good opportunity), but I know what it says about a candidate running for President.

So a typical day in the world of Trump. I don't have access to Truth Social so posted the above article, but feel free to post his actual truths so there is no question about them.

WTF difference does it make in regard to where something is posted. We're not talking about what RS might have written, but what Trump posted.

And I knew some idiot might say this, so I told you to check Truth Social, your latest playbook.

Don't be stupid, you were referring to my post. Not angry at all. Off the next 4 days, headed out to do the yard, and the Dawgs win Sat. Life is good, but could be better. That's why I'm willing to ignore the stupid shit trump says and vote against the stupid shit dems do.

Then I ask for all that is sacred that people stop saying he will "close the border". Words have to mean something.

Which policies will reduce inflation?

Policies that remove red tape and regulation from businesses, thus increasing the supply of goods / services and competitive forces between Companies vying to win customers with among other things, lower prices enabled by increased efficiency that is now being thumbed down with regulation and the blocking of M&A activity at every turn. Lina Kahn in particular is a radical academic that seems to villify all M&A activity as evil. Meanwhile the Mag 7 tech firms have accumulated market caps thought un-imaginable, harvesting their monopolies into 40% margins and trillion dollar mkt caps. I don't necessarily have a problem with that, but it is unbelievably hypocritcal to villify Kroger, airline mergers, grocery mergers, oil companies and potential mergers.....under the guise that these companies discourage competition and are making too much money.

These are not Trump specific concepts, they are proven basic laws of economics we all learned in Athens in ECN 101. Boost supply and competition, you get lower prices.

Furthermore - continuing the same lower corporate tax rate that has kept businesses in the US and attracted foreign companies to invest here. Even democrat economists have agreed (after calling those reductions from 35% evil) that Trump's corporate income tax cuts were a success. Apparently Kamala wants to increase it again. I say apparently because she hasn't said so. Like other policy someone floated the idea that she supports it, and will likely walk it back once it becomes clear it is unpopular.

In other words, the same policies that led to record growth relative to the rate of inflation. And we've already seen it.

Can you support the statement that we enjoyed record growth relative to inflation under Trump? I’m not finding the evidence you must be referencing.

Short additional commentary. The continued consolidation of competitive companies reduces competition and as such is unlikely to reduce prices. While you can fairly point to efficiencies found in larger enterprises, I’m not convinced that is always reflected in lower prices.

I can tell you that in my town, a very nice Harris Teeter just opened up across the street from the Publix, and Publix has lowered their average pricing by a lot. More competition generally leads to lower prices.

Describe the Dawgchat in 12 words or less:

This one is pretty easy actually. I know what four years under Trump and Kamala look like.

Trump hasn’t changed. Same guy. Same strategy. Mostly the same policies. He has changed a little on abortion. That being said Kamala has absolutely no idea who she is or what she stands for. It has changed so much she is adopting a lot of trumps ideas, then throws out radical economy stuff too. She has even adopted his ideas for the border. Only one person is changing for the electorate. One person is exactly the same. I think that explains itself. You can’t run on democracy now. That is dead. You can’t run on he lies we don’t anymore. I never thought you guys would lie even worse than he did or does. I don’t like either person. We know she is a jackass in private now too. So which policies make sense.

 

[cherrydawg]

kamala is so smart and never says anything stupid except for everything she says when not copying trumps policies.

why do you ignore the stupid stuff kamala says and dims do? Another example of dim hypocrisy.

I think this is a good point from a different direction. When you ask a lot of pubs about what trump says, they acknowledge they don’t like the attacks. Or wish he would try something different. Most here say he is an asshole, followed by a but. (Insert policy) it is rare to see the Dems acknowledge anything dumb Kamala says. They pretended Biden was ok for four years. Till he couldn’t serve their purpose anymore. This is why when will or others post things like what he is saying on truth social the response is so what. Have you seen this? It doesn’t matter how many times the same thing is accepted about trump from pubs on this board, their acknowledgment will never, ever be reciprocated. Unless of course in the case of Joe, when they literally have absolutely no choice. Then it rings hollow as hell imo.

I am talking about wage growth across all income classes relative to the rate of inflation. I have seen the graphs before.....could be wrong but I believe wage growth was close to 2x the rate of inflation until Covid hit.

On point 2: When consolidation is taken to the extreme (i.e. no competition)....you are correct. Apple is an arguable example. But for some reason Apple gets very little scrutiny from the DOJ. Conversely, when smaller companies, or companies with lower margins consolidate, it is usually by definition an accretive exercise for both companies.....or they wouldn't do it. I trust the instincts of the private sector over the theories of the academics now in charge. The days of the Carnegie's, Morgans, etc. are over, and the efficiency of the private economy and capital markets cuts through all the would-be evils of those days.

You make a good point on Publix versus Harris Teeter. But generally in any area there are more than a couple options. I don't believe the FTC blocking Kroger / Albersons should have been blocked.

Here is a link to all the FTC blocking activity recently. Even generally liberal minded CEO's have rolled their eyes at Kahn. Literally a guerilla terrorist against capitalism.....she made a name for herself not by building a business or accomplishing anything. Instead - she became progressive eonomist rising star based on a famous thesis she wrote? Really?

The stacking of all economic positions in the Biden admin with graduates of the Kennedy School, or lifetime academics is a huge issue. These people are looking to make a name for themselves rather than recognizing that sometimes the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" saying applies. Capitalism works. Let it. Sometimes holding serve is the right strategy. Not making waves for your own political advantage. The lack of real world experience on the Biden economic team is staggering.

In particular, please read the piece on Lina Kahn. This person, with all her ambition, should not have this kind of power over private enterprise. Furthermore, if there is any one company that truly has been responsible for efficiency and keeping pricing low, it is Amazon. So now we want to upset that apple cart? This is where theory and ambition seemingly "trump" common sense.

What has she said? Y'all are all on here talking about how she has no position, no policy, so which is it? She's not saying anything, or she is and I'm ignoring her? I don't recall ignoring much. If you have specific examples, I'll try to address it. I wonder what I could have possibly said to make y'all continuously think I am fawning over Kamala Harris.

I don't deny that Trump says dumb and offensive shit. The difference is that he built a very successful business and was President for several years, a time of peace and prosperity.

Kamala has never run anything, or accomplished anything. And the following isn't simply "saying stupid stuff,".....it really raises questions about her intelligence in general, and in the absence of anything of substance that she has ever accomplished, I don't understand the legitimate argument for her as the leader of the free world.....other than "It keeps Trump from office."

Fair. Now go watch Trump worship at the altar of Hannibal Lecter for 8 minutes. Neither one of them is exactly Cicero. The difference is that Republicans are totally unaffected by Trump doing this shit, but lose their everloving minds when Harris struggles to get to the point and uses it as an indicator that she must be stupid.

Y'all are not grading them on the same curve.

Again - the difference is the guy has a proven track record running a business and as President.

He turned a small business into a multi billion dollar enterprise.

Our Country enjoyed great economic success and peace at home and generally abroad.

Americans enjoyed peace and prospertiy under his leadership, even when he was being offensive.

To be shorter and more to the point: Both say dumb shit. But I believe Trump is a pretty intelligent guy and an effective leader when it comes to what benefits Americans generally. I do not think Kamala Harris is intelligent. And she has never been an executive in charge of anything at all.

I don't care about his track record of running a business. The United States of America is not a business no matter how badly SCOTUS wants to turn it into one.

You see great economic success and peace at home. I see a halfassed Covid response that doesn't get near enough credit for the inflation that followed. I see Charlottesville (many fine people). I see teargassing a crowd so he can have a photo op with a bible in front of a church. I see undermining DOJ. I see undermining NATO. I see a bromance with Kim Jong Il. I see trying to intimidate his own vice president to prevent him from discharging his constitutional responsibilities. I see insurrection. I see the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff calling him a complete moron unfit for the job. And his NSA. And his first Secretary of State. I see him always talking about he surrounds himself with the best people, only for them to jump ship or get fired. I see the United States Army (support our troops!) coming out today and saying the Arlington employee, in trying to preserve the dignity of the cemetery, was unfairly attacked by the Trump campaign.

I know you don't though. You think it's about mean tweets and hurt feelings.

All those things you see didn't manifest into things that hurt Americans. They are just thiings that offend (sometimes legitimately. And I would argue that sometimes his rhetoric is a tactical move to win negotiations.. Getting trade partners or other Nato countries to move in the US' favor.

On Covid, you are absolutely correct that the pandemic is partly responsible for inflation. But you are absolutely wrong that his response was the reason why. To the extent that Covid helped cause inflation, it is entirely a function of limiting supply. The supply of goods as manufacturing facilities were down. And the supply of labor as folks stayed home, and then well into the pandemic, were forced into ridiculously long quarantine periods and "just stay home if you feel slightly sick" situations.

Trump was universally known as the one who wanted to keep the Country open. He was openly villified for it. Called a murderer. In hindsight, can you imagine if Clinton and blue state policies had their way? The only States that were open were red states. Clinton would have mandated they stay closed just like the blue states. Making an already bad situation for supply of goods and labor even worse.

Trump signed the first Covid stiumulus with unanimous congressional support. This is when the country was shut down. No vaccines. And we didn't know everything about the virus.

The second stimulus was the single biggest unforced error on inflation. That one was passed on a strict democrat party-line vote, at a time when we had vaccines, the economy was already back from a demand standpoint, folks had plenty of money already, etc.....it was simply a chance / justification for government to spend more money and juice it. And it poured gas on the embers of inflation.

The idea (Biden voice) that Trump's handling of the pandemic made inflation worse is ridiculous. He has been totally vindicated.

Also - running a business is highly relevant to running anything. And I would argue a better and refreshing change of approach from the good ol' boy political system. The government is famously bad at running things. So why put a government official in charge of it? The results speak for themselves. Peace. Prosperity.

Yeah, I disagree with most of this and don't particularly feel like arguing about it because it's been done to death. I will say this though, because I remember it clearly.

Trump's covid stimulus. Every economist in the country said, "Hey, we need to be careful. Injecting this much money into the economy is going to lead to inflation. Guaranteed." Everyone, myself included, said, "We'll worry about it later, gimme." Checks went out. I know, because I used it as a down payment on my truck. PPP went out. We all knew that the bill was going to come due later, and at the time, we were willing to accept it. You want to criticize Biden for his response and contributing to it? Fair. Trump was totally vindicated? Nah. Here's where you post a bunch of links to prove I'm wrong. I'll go ahead and preempt you by saying you can type anything on this here internet machine.

SMH. She is the VP and a former presidential candidate. She has said plenty. She has said she wants to tax unrealized gains, she has said she wants to institute price controls to stop price “gauges”, she has said she grew up in Oakland when she grew up in Berkeley, she has said walks are raciest, the list goes on and on and on. You are just being obtuse. You should vote for her. I think y’all are on the same level.
