New Thread: What has Trump signed and done since he took office.

First order he signed related to Obamacare – which he has pledged to repeal.

Signed an order to federal departments to “minimise the economic impact” of the Affordable Care Act, which grants health insurance to all Americans.

Signed a stack of executive orders relating to his Cabinet appointments and other procedural matters.One was a law to allow former Marine James Mattis to take the office of Defence Secretary, waiving the requirement that the appointee be a civilian for the past seven years.
Signed a proclamation creating a National Day of Patriotism, although it has not been announced on what day this will fall.

Insisted that every ambassador appointed by former President Barack Obama would have to leave their office by midday on 20 January with no grace period. It is common policy that political appointed ambassadors resign at the beginning of a new administration – but unusual to have no replacements confirmed at this stage.

The new administration lists just six issues on the website - energy, foreign policy, jobs and growth, military, law enforcement and trade deals. Critics have pointed to the fact there is no longer any mention of civil rights, LGBT rights, healthcare or climate change.

The previous references to climate change have been replaced by a new energy plan that makes no mention of global warming and commits only to helping Americans reduce the cost of their energy.

THIS ONE IS A VERY DICTATORSHIP WAY: mandating EPA scientific studies, data undergo review by political staff before public release. Copyright 2017 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed

Said that construction on the border wall between the U.S. and Mexico will begin "in months ... as soon as we can, as soon as we can physically do it."


Feel free to add as I am sure this is only the beginning.
 
[FONT=q_serif]1.Destroyed the role of money in politics: there have been no $2 billion in political ads this year and there will not be. Elected officials are not going to have to spend most of their time raising funds. Superpacs and political ads were used by the losers. Jeb Bush had the most and he became an object of ridicule for it. The candidates most obviously dependent on single big donors were exposed.

[FONT=q_serif]2. Destroyed the Republican Party, the far-right, the role of FOX in selecting the Republican candidate.

[FONT=q_serif]3. Made it difficult for those who relied on tele-prompters and scripted messages.

[FONT=q_serif]4. Exposed most political commentators to be bad at predicting anything, exposed them as unfair and biased, and as desperate as their chosen Marco Rubio.

[FONT=q_serif]5.Been the first Republican since Reagan to be in favor of taxing the rich, reform and regulation of Wall St speculators, defended the necessary activities of big government-such as social security, medical care and Planned Parenthood.
 
So far the tax payers will most likely be on the hook for minimum 7-12 billion to pay for this wall he is going to build. Although engineering experts say it would more likely climb into 25 billion and be neither beautiful or impenetrable as Trump describe it.
He has now made it much easier for his billionaire cabinet members to extract money and hide it with his infrastructure propositions and plans. The rich will continue to avoid taxes and continue to get richer.
Started an investigation into voter fraud, and coincidentally only within the states he lost in and voter fraud has been investigated before and proven to be unfounded....and the tax payers will also pay millions for this
On Monday the memorandum Trump signed to withdraw from the Transpacific partnership just might cost many American jobs and business. As this now gives China more economic power. Obama Had negotiated the deal to give China a trade block around the Pacific rim.
He is pissing off just about every foreign leader and has sealed the fate for many women, concerning their reproductive rights.
He has failed to convene his generals to defeat ISIS, hasn't found or deported any illegal immigrants and has no solution or replacement for Obamacare.
He has gained the lowest approval rating of any president -it's at 45%
 
AM 680 was saying that they will be bringing back torture techniques for terrorists to make them talk. I for one vote yes on that one.
 
Trump will be Taxing Mexico 20% extra on their imports to built that wall.

Well, we kind of know how Trump is going to get American's to build his $15 billion wall -- . I wonder if those boys in their Trump Wall shirts realize their beer just got 20 percent more expensive.

And he got his bitch Sean Spicer to announce it because why would Trump want to face the music or any follow-up questions? Spicer offered no other details about the tax, how it will work, other than to say this is the beginning of a process that would be part of overall tax reform.

So what can Johnny Lunchbox expect to start paying 20 percent more on? A lot of that will be agricultural goods. As you may know, Mexico is America's third-largest supplier of such goods -- mostly fresh fruits and veggies. of the top 10 exports Mexico sends over to the good ol' US of A...



  1. Vehicles: US$90.4 billion (23.7% of total exports)
  2. Electronic equipment: $81.2 billion (21.3%)
  3. Machines, engines, pumps: $58.9 billion (15.5%)
  4. Oil: $22.8 billion (6%)
  5. Medical, technical equipment: $15.2 billion (4%)
  6. Furniture, lighting, signs: $9.9 billion (2.6%)
  7. Plastics: $8.3 billion (2.2%)
  8. Gems, precious metals, coins: $7.1 billion (1.9%)
  9. Iron or steel products: $5.7 billion (1.5%)
  10. Vegetables: $5.6 billion (1.5%)
 
Costing USA for annual illegals.. $100 billion a year

Building a the wall will cost.. $13 billion a year (even if we pay for it so we don't damage existing relationship with mexico which could reduce our trade deficit from $58 billion)

Existing border security costs $12 billion a year

(My estimate for maintaining the new "wall" should be $12 billion a year as it shouldnt be more than the current border costs but thats worst case..another 12 billion yearly..so $24 billion a year maintenance cost on this new wall + one time fee of 13 billion a year.)

if it will reduce that $100 billion a year to..lets say, even at $50 billion a year minimum (worst case i hope). The wall will pay for itself easily while not hurting the $58 billion trade deficit between Mexico and US

Then its a better deal and reduce to future bad eggs from hatching and any ripple effects that illegals cost us tax payers/ families
ex: illegals - theft, murder, accidents, medical expenses..


So my verdict on this is.

STOP insulting mexico (because they will not pay for it) so our trade deficit with them will stay same at $58 billion

Just have tax payers pay a one time fee of $13 billion + $24 billion annual fee (worst case)

Reduce the illegals costing the US from $100 billion to $50 billion (hoping). They need to research how much these border' megawalls" save countries first to validate idea

A Maryland judge ruled Friday that first lady Melania Trump’s libel suit against a political blogger can go forward, rejecting the blogger’s argument that her action was brought in bad faith as an effort to curb his right to free speech.

The ruling paves the way for Trump to pursue defamation claims against Webster Griffin Tarpley in Montgomery County Circuit Court. Tarpley, who publishes Tarpley.net from his townhouse in Gaithersburg, wrote last summer that Trump was “reportedly obsessed by fear” over possible revelations that she allegedly once worked as a high-end escort, according to court records.

Soon afterward, he retracted the story and apologized for any duress the story may have caused.

Trump has filed similar libel claims in Montgomery against the online publication of Britain’s Daily Mail. Circuit Court Judge Sharon Burrell heard arguments related to that suit as well but said she would rule later on those matters.
Trump did not attend Friday’s hearing.

Her attorneys have said the *escort-related stories on *Tarpley.net and in the Daily Mail were false and “tremendously damaging” to her personal and professional reputation. A trial, if necessary, is set for Nov. 6

[]

Tarpley has said he did not libel Trump and was passing on “unfounded rumors and innuendo” that had appeared on the Internet, according to court records.
[ ]

In suing the Daily Mail, Trump’s attorneys sued an entity called Mail Media Inc., which Trump’s team describes as the publisher of www.dailymail.com, where the Daily Mail article in dispute appeared.

Mail Media, in court filings, has responded that the article was acceptable because it “discussed allegations that had been disseminated about the then-potential first lady, and the impact even false rumors could have on the presidential race.”

In September, after its story ran, the Daily Mail published a retraction.

Mail Media also asserts that it is not the publisher of the Daily Mail website and that the publisher is another entity, the British-based Associated Newspapers Ltd., which also publishes the Daily Mail tabloid newspaper, according to court records. Mail Media also says that because it is based in New York, the Maryland filing is not proper.
The issues of corporate definitions and jurisdiction were among those the judge said she would rule on later.

In court filings, Trump’s attorneys cite several reasons that Montgomery is an appropriate venue for the lawsuit: Tarpley lives in the county; the Daily Mail website — by virtue of all its readers in Maryland — does business in the state; and for simplicity’s sake, it’s best to try the whole case in the same courtroom.

At a previous hearing in the case — a — Trump accompanied her attorneys. That appearance, which sent the county courthouse abuzz, was noteworthy because in the early stages of such lawsuits, the actual litigants often don’t appear in court.

Trump was at the December proceeding “to meet the judge, meet opposing counsel and show her commitment to the case,” her attorney, Charles J. Harder, said at the time.
