He’s been in politics for 3 decades and his net worth is only 2 million? That’s absolutely nothing really

Trump said months ago about no tax on tips as a sweetener to vote for him. That’s nothing new. All members of Congress have benefited greatly from their time, but Sanders would be very low on the list in a net benefit analysis of members and their wealth status for the amount of time in Congress.
I guess the good thing about the ceasefire deal is that at least this time, Trump is just as likely to reneg on any deal as Netanyahu.
Out of Netanyahu, Trump and Hamas, Hamas have the stronger track record of not breaking deals.

Plus most of that money was made off the back of the books he wrote.
He certainly hasn’t enriched himself from being in politics.

and thank goodness for the Westminster System.
PM is elected by the party.
Cabinet is not some random friends of the PM, all elected members of Parliament.
The real winner on no tax for tips is big business. They'll use it to dodge tax.
It was never about the people
Yep, this proposal was shot full of holes pretty soon after it was floated.

After scotus voting 9-0 in favour of the tic tok ban

Thomas Massie (R., Ky.), who also received $192,000 from the Club for Growth, according to the Wall Street Journal—and has reportedlythreatened to stop donating to members of Congress who support the ban.
Also
Jeff Yass, the billionaire Wall Street financier and Republican megadonor who is a major investor in the parent company of TikTok, was also the biggest institutional shareholder of the shell company that recently merged with former President Donald J. Trump’s social media company.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice to lead the nation’s health agencies, formally asked the Food and Drug Administration to revoke the authorization of all Covid vaccines during a deadly phase of the pandemic when thousands of Americans were still dying every week.
Mr. Kennedy filed a petition with the F.D.A. in May 2021 demanding that officials rescind authorization for the shots and refrain from approving any Covid vaccine in the future.
Just six months earlier, Mr. Trump had declared the Covid vaccines a miracle. At the time Mr. Kennedy filed the petition, half of American adults were receiving their shots. Schools were reopening and churches were filling.

I'm interested to see if Trump declares the Mexican cartels terrorist organisations,it's definitely on the table.
Makes it easier for Mexicans to seek asylum if they're fleeing from terrorism.

President-elect Donald J. Trump has picked Brandon Williams, a former Navy officer and one-term congressman, to become the keeper of the nation’s arsenal of thousands of nuclear bombs and warheads.
Mr. Trump’s selection is a shift from a tradition in which the people who served as administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration typically had deep technical roots or experience in the nation’s atomic complex. What’s unknown publicly is the extent of Mr. Williams’ experience in the knotty intricacies of how the weapons work and how they are kept reliable for decades without ever being ignited.
Terry C. Wallace Jr., a former director of the Los Alamos weapons laboratory in New Mexico, expressed surprise at Mr. Trump’s pick.
Dr. Wallace said he had “never met him or had a meeting” with Mr. Williams and characterized him as having “very limited experience” with the N.N.S.A.’s missions, based on his own decades of work in and around the nation’s atomic complex.

Imagine if Albanese did something like this. What a weird country the US is. And a scam? Surely the incoming felon POTUS wouldn’t try to scam his sheep?
