Trump Moving Too Fast?

[Triumph1300]

Don't bother putting words into my mouth, it's just more dishonesty on your part. Don't you see how your words reveal you, not me?

In order to get rid of your anger, do the following:

1. Relax your body. ...
2. Try mindfulness techniques. ...
3. Try to avoid rumination. ...
4. Take a cold shower. ...
5. Talk to a trusted person who's not connected to the situation. ...
6. Use up your energy safely in other ways. ...
7. Do some physical activity.

I hope this helps.

The Canadian election is over and I think all the politicians lost.

The Liberals failed to gain enough for a majority despite the polls indicating they would, the Conservatives failed to unseat the Liberals (and Pollieve lost his seat), and the NDP, Bloc and Green all lost seats.

I think the message Canadian politicians need to hear is leave the cheap American style politics behind, get to work and do what is best for the country.

Maybe that makes us the winners as citizens.

Lets hope some real leaders of action that we can support emerge.

Have a great Tuesday!

NEW: China Caves On 125% Tariff For Major U.S. Export

China on Tuesday waived a 125 percent tariff on ethane imports from the United States in a major trade war concession, according to a report from Reuters. China had initially imposed the tariff as part of its retaliation against President Donald Trump’s tariff strategy, which has largely focused...

Here's hoping you can get some leadership that is as effective as President Trump. Did you hear the latest news from China? It looks like they are starting to come around. They've cut tariffs, they've appointed a negotiator. I hope you can get somone like this!

Much love!

Hopefully we get somebody who is not a liar.
I guess you missed the 100 lies Trump made.
Google them, you can't miss it.

Little Marco was asked when Trump talked to the Chinese, he could not answer the question.
And the Chinese said they never talked to Trump. But Trump said he did. That makes 101 lies.
Good luck with that.

In a sharp rebuke of President Donald Trump’s trade war, China’s Foreign Ministry posted to social media a striking video that calls on the international community to stand up to America’s “bully” leader.

“Bowing to a bully is like drinking poison to quench thirst – it only deepens the crisis,” China said in its video, narrated in English and subtitled in Chinese. “History has proven compromise won’t earn you mercy – kneeling only invites more bullying. China won’t kneel down.”



The video narrates a history lesson of what China considers American economic aggression, forcing companies like Toshiba and Alstom into breakup, financial crisis and bankruptcy and sending Japan’s economy into “decades of anemic growth.”

Much Love to you too, Marks.

So did Hitler, Mussolini and Franco.
Same story, make Germany, Italy and Spain great again.
Failing economies, inflation, unemployment, promises, promises, ending up in pure dictatorships.
Homeless people all over.
The dirty thirties....

All three claiming at one time or another to be christians.
The writing is on the wall.

So you are also another one who believes Hitler created a failing economy and unemployment ?

Hitlers Nazi Party created the bigest economic boom ever the world has ever seen by far in fact ! not to mention the only Socialist system that moved forward !
Just have a look see what Partys only undermined the German People in fact ! It's the same old Mob that has created all of the troubles you mentioned in fact !

I was suprised to find how so many modern day things that it was Hitlers Nazi Party that brought all such forward, that are in fact the normal of todays world. it's truly amazing ! Some of it good some bad that we the West have picked up ? this was befor the War in fact !

When bagging one or a Political Party ? not everything such does is wrong or stupid !
But one should have an open mind to be able to see both sides of the coin, not just some one sided clown !

When it comes to Hitler and the Nazi Party, one would be best to understand to workings of such and not in total ignorance like most people are because they truly have no idea what they are talking about ! serioiusly the ignorance is astounding and so simple minded load of one sided crap ! fair enough bag all you like anything that was done, I am fine with that. but in reality it's best to be bright about such issues and have a good handle on the workings of such in fact ! not just blind stupid ignorance.

It's like one talkings regarding the machanical workings of a motor car ? the majority do not truly have a clue in depth of such things in fact ! for such are only that of a dilettante.

I have looked into Hitler in depth my whole life as much as I could and I had people stand in my way, for seeking into all such ! Why would one work against one bothering to seek ? and go into a great huff, demanding that no one has the right to seek in depth such things. They are Tyrants or Communist or Socialist or Satanist, even such is within the right wing. so much has been hidden about the total workings of the Nazis in fact !
So one can truly have a handle on such in depth ! Because if one is truly informed of such, then one can see much clearly the workings that are played out nowadays much easyer in fact ! because one is not under the influence of political propaganda swallowing such much total nosense that the cunning play on.

If Trump was a Nazi I would pick up on it for sure !
I have developed a nose for clearly picking up on all such in fact !

I know that who hates Trump are under delusions that is played that tune ! they have been played that tune for years, so they know no better, not to mention such people are happy to let their Nation fall into Satans hands in fact ! the proof of all such is their for all to see in fact ! Hell bent on Gay agendas dominating over everyone and anyone who does not serve the Government orders of total depravity in fact ! Hell bent of murdering, sacrficing healthy babys in fact to their god Moloch ! Sick child molesting children in schools being peddled ! so as to cause so much harm messing with childrens minds, I know of such children who are so mixed up and out of control. They have told me of their issues ! and it comes down to grooming of the Schools agendas.

But they have been getting away with all such outright pure evil for years !


It's the MSM Propagands machine that is the key to keeping a lid on all such depravity being forced on everyone over the years ! same tool bag that Nazi Germany used in fact ! and Communist use ! for it's clearly Satanic ends. I feer 1300 has been indoctrinated by such workings, like a mate of mine is, because their god is the MSM etc, they fall for all of the nonsense ! Sure I understand why and how the Germans fell for it all as well ! They were Played ! and the Game is much bigger than one thinks.

You know I do not trust anyone I have my Radar on 24/7 I will listen to old mate 1300, anyone ! one needs to keep an open mind.

The Path that the USA was on was pathetic in fact ! Australia has been on the same Satanic path for years undermining everything, just as Canada and France and the UK has been in fact ! we have been totaly craped on they bag our forefathers who built our Nations in fact ! only to have the lowest denominator dominate over all ! and such will not end well at all in fact ! but with Communism in fact everyone will become Slaves ! Cattle !

Bully ?

Trump is just only Asking to be fair to the USA and you claim, just like a Communist and Socialist do, Oh NO ! Trump is serving the rights of the people of the USA to have fair go ! and stop all of such undermining the USA !

China has been laughing at the USA for being a total ingorant out right fool for years ! Putin has said such as well ! Laughing ! that no one could be so stupid !

So Trump has Leadership skills and he has been forced to play it the way that has gone down in fact ! why because the Communist and Socialist Partrys only want to undermine the USA in fact ! It's they who have caused Trouble in fact !

 

[Lizbeth]

Do you understand that President Trump is working directly against this? That's why he is so vigorously opposed. He's not with the globalists, he is against them.

Those who oppose him are defacto supporting those who do want to enslave and oppress.

It's hard to understand why so many don't see this, but then when I consider that so many take in the fake news and believe it, well, there are a lot of deceived people out there.

The ignorance and hatred and anger I see on this thread is deplorable.

If only all this energy could be channeled into something meaningful and good!

Much love!

I think it's meaningful and good that we have our eyes wide open to see things and people as they are. I don't hate anyone, but I do often very much hate the things some people do to their fellow creatures, and what they stand for.

If Trump is a principled man who is against the kooky woke WEF globalist elites who want to oppress the masses and turn them into their virtual slaves (which we must remember and take note that the very rich always historically do) and make everyone, except themselves of course, eat insect meal for food........why did he endorse the woke globalist elite WEF Liberal candidate for Canadian Prime Minister while badmouthing the Conservative candidate? Did that not bother anyone here and make you wonder?

Did you see the video I posted on this thread a little while back that shows Trump is involved in business with Carney who owns a very prosperous asset management company? And who knows what other WEF elites Trump has dealings with or owes money to, or is personal friends with. Many of whom seem to have had connections with Jeffrey Epstein.....speaking of which, where is the list of names that Trump promised to publish? Does it take 6 months or more to scan a document and push "Send"? Does anyone here wonder what the hold-up is? Will it ever come to light of day?

I'm just trying to point out some facts and observations. I really think western civilization is pretty much between a rock and a hard place now, because of a deceived and weakened church here, and sins and God's judgment, but we as believers should have our eyes open to reality....that there is nothing and nobody of this world worthy of our allegiance and trust. Our allegiance and trust belong to God alone, for He alone is worthy.

Yeah, they need it and they know such a tariff hurts them more than removing it.

And of course I agree. Why wouldn't I? Or are you of the mind that those of us who voted Trump are blinded? What's the message here?

It's just politics, this isn't a theocracy. We've hired a boss. We picked the best of the bunch. Let's just all get over it and stop making this more than it is.

And no, I'm not going to tell you about your country's politics. While there is no lack of foreigners to tell us about our government, I don't roll that way. I'm not going to start acting like I know what it's like to live there.

I remain astonished that y'all would rather we'd have had another Biden term! That to me is what makes no sense at all! How can anyone who is cognizant of Biden's record want that? The crime and mayhem and oh how can we catalog the damage he did! More of that?

No. That man had to go. Never was actually elected! But we should keep him? No way.

Much love!

Interesting article in the Wall Street Journal today:

Trump’s Trade Offensive Threatens America’s Financial Primacy​

Rising volatility and dollar weakness raise fears of a financial realignment, away from U.S. shores​

By Nick Timiraos
April 20, 2025 9:00 pm ET

Financial markets have flashed an ominous message this month about President Trump’s ambitious and improvisational bid to reshape global trade: Be careful what you wish for.

Volatility in Treasury markets and unexpected weakness in the dollar suggest that what began as a trade conflict could morph into a more dangerous “capital war.” The clash threatens to raise U.S. borrowing costs by undermining Washington’s long-standing financial primacy, which for years has drawn trillions of dollars of foreign funds into the country.

"The idea that you can break trade, and not break the capital flow side, is a fantasy," said Steven Blitz, Chief US economist at GlobalData TS Lombard. Market volatility spiked after the president unspooled his fluid and unpredictable trade policy on April 2... A brutal bond-market selloff unfolded, against a backdrop of a weakening dollar, which normally strengthens during bouts of stress. The abnormal combination prompted some analysts to warn about capital flight from the US...

"The behavior of investors changed. Ordinarily they would have bought the dollar in this time of crisis time, and instead they sold the dollar," said Steven Kamin, a former senior Fed economist who is now at the American Enterprise Institute.

There was an interesting dream a brother in Christ sent me in relation to this about six months ago, that the strength of the US dollar was what was keeping the recession and/ or depression flood waters back, and with the dollar weakening, that could spell bad things for the future, especially if foreign funds are increasingly being drawn away from the US instead of to it.

I will add it next post.

You really wanna know what would have and could have HELD the recession and or depression at bay
THE same thing that would have brought blessing unto the people .
BY REPENTANCE , by TRUST IN GOD , IN HIS CHRIST . but it sure seems many do not want to preach that reminder today .
Guess what , not only will america and the west meet its end in total destruction
but so shall the entire world . cause IT DIDNT repent to GIVE GOD The GLORY .
SO may i suggest one simple SOLUTOIN and BELIEVE YOU ME had christendom done and preached it
IT SURE COULD have stayed the destructions and brought blessings . ITS TIME we absolutely
flee any hope in men , and rather begin afresh and anew with ALL HOPE IN GOD and IN HIS CHRIST .
cause what is about to come upon this world , this christendome that has done all
to trod CHRIST UNDER FOOT , believing its the way to attain peace and safety , WELL ITS ABOUT
to bring one thing down upon them all . AND IT AINT A BLESSING . ITS SUDDEN DESTRUCTION .
too many are following an anti christ peace solution of interfaith they so beleive is the way and the path
to attain their beloved peace n safety . OH ITS a path all right . ONE that leads RIGHT TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION
by THE VERY GOD AND CHRIST its solutoin , its intefaith DENIED . sure hope that helps to encourage us all .

Even more , if trump and vance is so against the WEF globalists
WHY do they help lead this people RIGHT INTO THE VERY AGENDA OF said WEF globalist .
A worlds religoin as one . INTERFIATH is of anti christ , but i sure dont seem to see trump , vance
or their beloved paula white and nar realm WARNING against it .
RATHER THEY DO ITS WORK . ITS ALL about to lead them all right .
BUT it wont be the very peace n safety they had so beleived it was gonna usher in upon this earth
this world , this middle east .
JESUS NEVER once came to UNITE THIS WORLD IN PEACE . but someone else does .
JESUS warned that HE DID NOT come to bring peace on earth but rather division .
And yet their goal is to wipe out this so called division and UNITE all religoins .
TRUE PEACE of the world , COMETH AFTER this old one and heavens are dissovled .
IN fact JESUS himself will bring the wrath of GOD down upon them all .
Many sure seem to forget that not only DID JESUS say HE DID NOT come to BRING peace on earth
But also
that it is written ANOTHER DOES . and by HIS PEACE , FRIEND HE DESTORYES MANY .
its all tied into anti christ . AS IS INTERFAITH . THIS people has been made blind . they have hoped in men
WHEN their hope should have been IN CHRIST , IN GOD .
THEY have sought to bring in the EARTHERN
when it should have been the HEAVENLY all along . A DELUSOIN of total madness has ripped and is ripping
its way right through even most of christendom as well as the entire world . I see more songs today
more sermons today about love love love . AND YET ITS THE LOVE of the world NOT OF GOD they sing . this is gonna end BAD sister.
And the very peace and safety they chant for and believe in
WELL SUDDEN destruction from above on ON HIGH shall come upon them all and sister, THEY WONT be escaping it either .

 

[Hidden In Him]

not only will america and the west meet its end in total destruction

Well that's a little dire and grim, LoL.

Amigo, we still have a long ways to go before the end here. I think things will get tougher, but for those who trust in Christ it will become an increasingly glorious time when they do. Humanity will have to rely on Him more and seek Him in prayer. And as a result they will see Him moving in their lives more than ever before.

So there are positive and negative ways to view what's going on. The part I agree with you on is that tougher times when they do come will be a judgment from God, but was having so much prosperity that we didn't really lean on Him all that much a good thing? For the spiritual man, I think the answer is no there.

Blessings, and hope you have a blessed day.

Without seeking to be all gloom and doom, here are a few things I posted elsewhere. Maybe he gets China to break, cuz it seems more likely that China will than that the US will, although they seem pretty determined to go down swinging.

Anyway, the short term pain is going to increasingly be felt. That much is certain right now. From a few weeks ago, on how job losses are mounting.

Tariff Fallout Begins: Major Companies Slash Thousands of Jobs Citing Rising Trade Tensions© Provided by Barchart

The trade war is no longer just a geopolitical talking point — it’s now a frontline reality for thousands of workers across North America. In the wake of sweeping new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, a growing list of companies have announced job cuts, operational pauses, and in some cases, full-scale shutdowns. The fallout is cascading through industries as diverse as automotive, steel, consumer goods, and even tabletop gaming.

With thousands already laid off and more cuts expected, many fear the ripple effect from these tariffs could further strain a fragile post-COVID recovery, and threaten the broader North American labor market.

Volvo Group, Stellantis, Cleveland-Cliffs, Sheertex & More​

One of the most significant announcements came from Volvo Group (VLVLY), which is laying off between 550 and 800 workers across three U.S. facilities, including Mack Trucks in Macungie, Pennsylvania, and plants in Virginia and Maryland. The company cited sharp drops in demand and production disruptions caused by tariffs on steel and truck components.

Auto giant Stellantis (STLA) — maker of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep — has temporarily laid off approximately 900 U.S. workers and 4,500 Canadian employees, pausing production at multiple plants across the continent. The layoffs come in response to the administration’s 25% tariff on imported vehicles and auto parts.

Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF), a leading U.S. steel and mining firm, announced the layoff of 1,200 workers across its Dearborn, Michigan steel mill and two iron ore facilities in Minnesota. The company attributes the cuts to slumping demand from automakers and the higher cost of raw materials due to tariffs.

Sheertex, a Montreal-based company known for its unbreakable pantyhose, laid off 40% of its workforce—a decision directly linked to U.S. tariffs on Canadian exports. Compounding the blow is the removal of the de minimis exemption, which previously allowed duty-free shipping for small parcels into the U.S.

In a less traditional but equally telling example, St. Louis-based Greater Than Games has suspended all operations after tariffs of up to 145% were placed on Chinese imports — including game components critical to its products. The move sent shockwaves through the tabletop gaming industry, which relies heavily on Chinese manufacturing for affordability and quality.

Cosmetics titan Estée Lauder (EL) recently announced an expansion of its workforce reduction plan, now aiming to cut up to 7,000 jobs worldwide. The company linked its decision to a slump in Chinese demand and anticipation of reciprocal tariffs that could impact global sales further.

Analysts: This Is Just the Beginning​

Industry experts warn that what we’re seeing now could be a prelude to deeper economic challenges. A report from Forbes estimates that over 5.6 million jobs across manufacturing, agriculture, and logistics may be at risk if trade tensions continue to escalate.

As political leaders debate trade strategy on the global stage, the consequences are being felt by workers, families, and small businesses across North America. With companies large and small struggling to adapt, and many caught in the crossfire of retaliatory measures, the tariff fallout is proving to be more than an economic theory — it’s a lived reality for thousands.

Not sure if I posted this, but TV India from 10 days ago. Hard to take matters too hard when it's coming through an accent like this, LoL, but I do think he hits on a good point at 3:08. Something I was driving at before. If the rest of the world gets the feeling like we could pull the plug on them at any minute, they are gonna start looking for an exit plan just in case, and that means drifting away from the dollar. The more they do that, the more we will be paying more for everything.

 

[Hidden In Him]

And this from yesterday.

Bessent worked with George Soros a few decades ago to financially break England, and Trump and Bessent just might do so with China now. But the question is still at what cost. Supply chains are now getting screwed up just like during the pandemic, so what's coming may mess up a lot of businesses before things settle down again.

Anyone can look right through Trump look at his picture just look at him that's all you need to see.Even a child could do this lol.
