It is rather astounding that actually somewhat accomplished men like Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick can be such fucking toadies. The Elmos and Bannons and Millers are no real surprise, and the accomplished men of Trump v.1 pretty much are all on record that he's an abject moron and unfit for office. I think this tells you something about billionaires.
November 28Nov 28 Whoa, this is hard to believe...@@ Quote Swiss prosecutors have been urged to open a criminal bribery investigation into executives including the boss of Rolex after they lavished gifts on Donald Trump while lobbying him to cut tariffs. In Switzerland, a group of Left-wing politicians have written to the country’s federal prosecutor’s office about a meeting in the Oval Office on Nov 4. At the meeting, up to half a dozen Swiss businesspeople gave the US president a Rolex table clock and a 1kg gold bar engraved with his name. Advertisement A week after the meeting, Mr Trump announced he would lower his punitive US tariff rate on Switzerland from 39pc to the EU level of 15pc. Raphaël Mahaim, a Green Party MP, said in his letter to prosecutors that the gifts could be worth tens of thousands of Swiss francs, which would “exceed the scope of a minor benefit, in accordance with social custom”. “The average person rightly questions the legality of these gifts offered to the American president in order to obtain his unblocking of a trade negotiation file,” Mr Mahaim’s letter said. “We question the compatibility of these gifts with Article 322 of the Swiss Penal Code. The end does not justify all means, especially when respect for important provisions of our legal system is at stake.”

December 10Dec 10 We paid for the tariffs so we paid for the bailout. How are we cutting down the debt again ???
December 10Dec 10 We paid for the tariffs so we paid for the bailout. How are we cutting down the debt again ???There’s money that China could have been paying our farmers for their product.The president decided that was bad.Instead, we should just GIVE farmers money that comes from the pockets of the hardest working taxpaying Americans. Not nearly enough to replace the actual lost revenue from China, but enough to put us further in the hole.199-D chess!
