I am surprised that China would agree to give trump anything over empty promises for taiwan
Republicans have let this happen to us and I hope they all live to regret it. No one person, least of all a president, is supposed to be able to do this to our govt system. The republicans and the Supreme Court have enabled this proven criminal to destroy what we have taken 200 years to build. The right and MAGA are hateful spiteful losers who are going to see what that gets them very soon.
No that’s because you let corporations like black rock but up all the available houses on the market. More failure policies like tariffs etc. let’s start telling the truth to the American people instead of assuming we can’t research, review and know what is true and what is false. Which is why I’m voting democrat this time. Many many people I know will be voting democrat since these are just a few issues. Promises have been fractured and you can’t fix that. We all see the trump family become richer as we are struggling. Honestly I am tired or hearing how great our economy when it is not, maybe if you’re rich.
I don’t think it’s going to matter after November because you may be popular with trump, but the public is not going to vote any republicans in, no incumbents. They are already out. Nothing they can even do to change that. Democrats, independents are just waiting to vote them out. And we would do almost anything to get trump out before then. He’s dangerous and as his term comes to a close, he will become more so. And he will mike our own country before he leaves office to face criminal charges
No consideration to what our stated obligations to Taiwan are. We made deals to protect them and he’s just a deal destructionist. He’s a deal welcher.
Random VTubers are somehow more informative on current issues than Bloomberg. There's also an anime site that keeps up with current events and is even better than this. I'm gonna watch Nux Taku.
Fake news propaganda and BRAINWASHING.
Bloomberg just slobbering over Trump hoping that he watches them on his sunday social media binge. That book by Soumaya, do people buy that superficial rhetoric? What about inflation, manufacturing, unemployment, healthcare? Trump said “I don’t think about it very much at all”
Iran needs nuclear weapons and they are going to build one now.
Stupid people elect stupid people for stupid reasons .
