Re: President Trump 2.0
Dodgy maths aside, if they have indeed intercepted that amount of drugs, it's still something to celebrated.
Their over exaggeration just distracts away from what is a real good news achievement.

The trouble is we simply don't know if it is a real good news achievement or not as it's from an unreliable source and at least one figure in the post is demonstrably incorrect.

The exaggeration beings the entire claim into question, especially given the veracity of the one making it. Trump doesn’t just exaggerate, he plainly makes stuff up.

Re: President Trump 2.0
I guess Trump's supporters will couch this as part of the tough medicine to cure the USA's ails. Obviously, the rush to import at lower tariffs has had a one-off negative impact on GDP.
Quote:
US economy contracts at 0.3% rate as Trump tariffs prompt import surge
Annualised first-quarter figure comes below expectations and contrasts with previous growth
The US economy contracted by an annualised 0.3 per cent over the first quarter, as companies in the world’s largest economy responded to Donald Trump’s trade war by stockpiling imports.
The slide in GDP for the period was worse than economists’ most recent forecasts and compared with the 2.4 per cent rate recorded for the fourth quarter.
The fall was largely the result of US companies’ rush to accumulate inventory ahead of Trump’s sweeping tariffs, with US Census Bureau data on Tuesday showing the trade deficit for goods hitting a record high in March.
The difference between imports and exports is an important factor in calculating GDP, which also measures domestic consumption, investment and government spending.

Re: President Trump 2.0
This is a real post, not a spoof.
For the first time in history*, the answer to the question " is the Pope Catholic" may not be self-evident…
* I know it isn’t going to happen, but the level of sycophantic sucking-up has just reached new depths…

The pope has to be a baptized catholic male, so the answer would still be Yes.
No idea if Trump qualifies.

Smith also asked Trump to respond to those who view his actions against Harvard University as an “attack on academic freedom rather than the defense of fairness.”
Trump responded: “Well, I say this. We had riots in Harlem, in Harlem, and frankly, if you look at what’s gone on, and people from Harlem went up and they protested, Stephen. And they protested very strongly against Harvard. They happened to be on my side.”

Re: President Trump 2.0
The rich b*******s of America must be soooo happy that the incredibly stupid voters keep electing the one person who will NEVER EVER TAX the rich b*******s but will put all the tax burden on the incredibly stupid voters instead.
