President Trump: Making America Great Again...

[PaloAltoCougar]

Really excited that the tariffs have shrunk the deficit so much that we will each be getting $2,000!!!! Suck it, haters! I assume you will be posting your apologies soon.

Trump says tariffs to yield dividends 'of at least $2,000 a person' - POLITICO

Coupled with the forthcoming 1,000% drug price reductions he has promised we're gonna be rolling in it.

You can thank me! I bought some socks from Falke, which apparently is based in Germany. I got the socks, which are awesome, but then a couple weeks later I got an invoice from FedEx that required I pay $42 in import taxes and storage fees. So I'm getting hit by the tariffs (and the elimination of the deminimus threshold) from my designer socks . Thankfully I'll be in Germany in a couple weeks and I plan to stop by the Falke store to stock up on tariff-free socks!

Are you sure you don't need to declare your super expensive socks upon return to the U.S.?

I’ll just wear them and they’ll never know…

This is the kind of thing that makes America great?

I am sick of this kind of garbage from an administration led by a cruel and totally insane dociopath.

Mr. Kim is one of hundreds of skilled engineers brought to the nearly 3,000-acre Hyundai-LG Energy Solution factory in southeastern Georgia.

He came to share his expertise and train Americans to get the new electric-vehicle battery plant up and running -- a multi-billion dollar project expected to create thousands ofsociopath.

Kim, who asked to be identified by only his surname, thought he was playing a part in fueling the manufacturing boom President Donald Trump had promised.

But on Sept. 4, that mission was abruptly halted.

That morning, as engineers were testing equipment, Kim said he heard murmurs that armed law enforcement officers were entering the factory. They were told to go outside, where immigration officers started dividing workers based on their visa status.

Hours later, Kim says ICE agents started issuing arrest warrants. But since many of the engineers couldn't read English, they didn't know what the paperwork was.

"The scene was like something out of a movie -- fully armed officers, drones and helicopters overhead, rifles in hand," Kim said.

Scores of federal agents had swarmed the site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea who were contractors for Hyundai and LG, like Kim.

Federal officials called it the "largest, single site enforcement operation in the history of homeland security investigations."

While we were detained, the guards' behavior was very negative. I understand that there's a power imbalance between detainees and guards. But they went beyond that. Making comments about Kim Jong Un, pulling their eyes sideways to mock Asians," he said, referring to the North Korean leader, even though the detainees were South Korean.

"We had no way to respond, so we just endured it," he said.

The Korean workers were detained for a week, until the U.S. and South Korea governments negotiated for them to return home.

"Any foreign workers brought in for specific projects must enter the United States legally and with proper work authorizations," Abigail Jackson, a White House spokesperson, said in a statement to ABC News. "President Trump will continue delivering on his promise to make the United States the best place in the world to do business, while also enforcing federal immigration laws."
'They treated our workers…like a terrorist'


The workplace raid was the result of Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown -- a policy that at times clashed with his economic ambitions. It shattered the perception of the U.S among many South Koreans, coming just weeks after their government pledged to invest $350 billion in the U.S.

Kim Joon Hyung, a member of South Korea's National Assembly, said he was stunned.

"We -- all Koreans -- think the U.S. is a model for human rights," he said. "But the scene that we saw, is like they treated our workers, even with a residence card and the right visa, they treated [them] like a terrorist."

Kim says he was in the U.S. legally on a B-1 Visa--for short-term business activities -- which was approved after submitting documentation and a consular interview to justify his work.

"Our goal was always to finish setup and stabilization, train the operators and technicians, and then return home as soon as possible," Kim said. "Maybe the U.S. authorities didn't fully understand that. We weren't there to get jobs or immigrate. We weren't taking anyone's employment. That idea that we were 'taking their jobs' is wrong.

ICE/DHS have killed dozens in detention already

they give out maybe 1 meal a day, people sleeping standing up, no medical care

and disappearing citizens, legal immgirants along with illegals to avoid lawyers and send to 3rd world prisons despite not being criminals

I now see why germans didnt stand up. we are letting it happen again.

According to my buddy Grok:

The total dead in ICE/DHS custody is 25. ICE also killed a dozen people the previous year!

Translation: ICE has, in fact, killed dozens this year. And ICE deaths are up more than 2x since last year. Thanks for confirming what Maximus said, Grok!

I don't think 25 was quite what he was going for although he's technically correct.

This part is especially disgusting. Anyone who would act like this is pure scum. And let's also emphasize all these workers were there legally with the appropriate visa for a business trip.

It is looking more and more like Trump is going to commute Maxwell's sentence.
Trump has downplayed and lied multiple times about his relationship with Epstein.
That's mighty close to 5th avenue voter loyalty status.

I'm sorry what?

I'm sorry what?

He's been consistently talking along these lines, pressing for the need to innovate and get prepared for war. The biggest threat right now (I mean besides those pesky narco terrorists) is China. Will they make a move on Taiwan? When they do, will they preemptively strike US forces in the region?

Then you have Russia trying to expand their footprint.

Are we going to be in another global conflict like WWII very soon? Possibly.

Our soft power and intel security is gutted.

Surely you are mistaken. This is a peacetime president who's solved 7-8-9 wars already. And he has a verbal commitment from Xi that he won't invade Taiwan during his presidency!
