Things you should know about Donald Trump:

When he negotiates, he uses ridiculous statements to rile up the other side. He then walks it back slowly, until he gets to the position that he'd already deemed that he can make a deal. The tariffs are being used to take away tariffs by the other side, be it Europe, China or Canada. Once they reach net zero, there are no tariffs on either side. That is the Art of the Deal.

Trump also starts a controversy, trying to get the media and those who get diverted by TDS to vent, while he does something surprising elsewhere. He controls the news cycle and keeps his opponents off balance. He makes them sound stupid, or uneducated. The 51st State analogy is a prime example. You can't have a 51st state without a 52nd state. The U.S. has always brought statehood in two's, not single states. If there were to be Statehood in Canada, expect it from the Western Provinces. The Republican's aren't interested in a welfare state that would vote Democrat, if they were admitted.

Trump's goals are for what's best for America, not other Nations. The $36T debt is unsustainable. It's why DOGE is needed and a brilliant move. Bring in the richest man in the world and squeeze out the corruption, be it Republican or Democrat. It's pretty hard to argue that it hasn't made significant progress in finding where the tax money went. The downside of this may cause a short, but sharp recession with all of the money that was pulled out of the NGO's and Illegal immigration leaving the economy. It's a necessary evil to rebalance the books and have a balanced budget. If the U.S. fails, we all go down in flames.

Since this is a hockey website, I'll put my two Lincoln pennies into the pot. I only have one Jefferson Davis penny to my name, so half an opinion won't help. Leafs will win 5 - 1 tonight. It's now a sprint to the finish and it starts tonight. It'll be a tougher test on Saturday Night.

Agree on all counts, especially on this one.
Trump started cultural revolution and hopes it will spread all over the West.

So how is a $4.5 trillion tax cut for the rich going to help slay the horrible deficit and debt?

Too bad when Hawaii became the 50th state there was only 49

You’re not too good at math eh?

You do realize I don’t listen to your instruction right?

So shut up.

Unless you want to start paying me and then I might adjust my attitude.

Alaska was added earlier the same year in 1959.

Much like how Canada wouldn't actually be the 51st state, it'd more likely be 51st to 60th states as Quebec would separate and others would be redefined.

How do you define rich? If you mean working middle class American's, it means entrepreneur's creating wealth. That is what he's trying to achieve. There are huge changes coming to the World in general, in the next few years. AI will forever change the way we do things in Society. Within 10 years, there will be no truck drivers, there will be self-driving vehicles. You won't have live humans doing customer service. You'll have bots that have all of the characteristics of humans. New and improved drugs and medical procedures will hit the market. Space travel will become a reality. What needs to be decided, is who will control AI? The U.S.? China? Will it come from a Private Equity company? What safeguards will be needed? Who makes the rules? What will we do with billions of redundant people? What kind of education will mankind need going into the future with AI doing most of the discovery and thinking? Will AI finally subvert humanity, and we all perish? Many questions need to be addressed. Time is almost up. It's here, but what will it bring? Small thinking and political skirmishes aren't the answer.

I'm (frank)ing out of here. This place is Facebook all over again.

Peace.

It depends on your point of view? Some would say it glorified slavery, but in reality, the War between the States was about taxation and tariffs. Slavery never entered the lexicon of discussion until Gettysburg. For the record, the Union had 4 slave states fighting against the South. Missouri, Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland.

You're missing the point. Deficit spending creates inflation. Inflation causes poorer people to suffer. When food gets too expensive, and rent goes up exponentially, it hurts the poor and lower middle-class. It can't go on forever as the example of a $36T Debt. It's like putting a bandage on a severed foot.

Flying cars were famous in the Cartoon the Jetson's, in the '60's. It would be hard to make that work. Can you imagine the carnage if cars just flew everywhere, into buildings, into airliner corridors? They really wouldn't be feasible until the technology was available for self-driving flying cars that would abide by space and speed telemetry.
