USA Policy positions of Donald Trump; let's see how many he achieves

[Muddiemoose]

Crashing the economy is kind of the point, it's cheaper to buy out if it's smouldering.

Plus all that cheap immigrant labor will also cut into the profit margins of famers and what not

Even in Australia a lot of our farm workers are on the dodge without legal minimum pay and those silly things like workers rights

Going to be interesting to watch that realisation play out in real time when prices skyrocket and mass labour shortages

I guess if rich farmers pay him enough he’ll give them special dispensation. Everything is a $$ transaction to Trump.

President Trump on Wednesday revoked a 60-year-old executive order banning discrimination in hiring practices in the federal government, his latest action aimed at gutting diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

His order, which the White House called “the most important federal civil rights measure in decades,” revokes Executive Order 11246 signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. It prohibited discriminatory practices in hiring and employment in government contracting and asserted the government’s commitment to affirmative action.

Mr. Trump’s order says that his action “protects the civil rights of all Americans and expands individual opportunity.”
Among its provisions is the elimination of any references to diversity, equity and inclusion in federal contracting and spending.
The government would instead focus on “speed and efficiency,” according to the order. It aims to reduce cost in federal contracting, and requires contractors who do business with the government to follow its interpretation of civil rights laws. The order says the office overseeing contracts would be prohibited from “pushing contractors to balance their work force based on race, sex, gender identity, sexual preference or religion.”
The measure was a sweeping example of Mr. Trump’s declaration that he would return the country to a “merit-based” and “colorblind” society when he took office. The administration has moved swiftly to eradicate all programs and practices in the federal government aimed at addressing systemic inequities.

We've got the oligarch response:

"Who cares if it's inflationary, get over it".

Easy to say when you're a billionaire. Not so easy for the poor Trump dolts who voted for this.

Billionaire oligarch Jamie Dimon on Trump's tariffs causing higher prices: If it's a little inflationary but it's good for national security, so be it. I mean, get over it.

I thought being a dibber-dobber was a bad thing.

Know this may have been posted. And it's just a leak here of the memo.

But weren't MAGA draining the swamp? Only thing positive is for Billionaires.

Also would love the thoughts of the Donald crew on here giving us their thoughts on how this is positivity for everyone? Don't trott the line out that it won't effect you. Have some back bone and give us your thoughts

 

[Gough]

Notably he's not mentioned China yet.

Easy also, when you know you can run your bank in to the ground and the taxpayer will bail you out a la the GFC

 

[TheSunGod]

Well at least one of his policies is underway

Farms already seeing 'massive drop off' in workers as mass deportations begin: report

Time to sell your shares in FCOJ

Pretty sure he's said he wants to increase the tariffs on them

Damn, now I want pork bellies.

 

[Gough]

I think China's value to the tech industry and that going hard against other countries in the Americas seems to deliver a lot more bang with the MAGA crowd might mean we see far less focus on them this time around.

 

[Saint]

Yeah, he's proposing 10% starting in February.

The witch-hunt of coloured people who happened to get jobs is about to begin. Racists across every US Federal Department will be trying to get anyone of diversity fired because they can just call them a "DEI hire". Unless you're a white man, you're going to be accused....

Between the tariffs and the Exec-Order increasing the price of medicine, cost of living is going to go up fairly quickly. Then there's going to be tax cuts for the wealthy in the first budget.

The only thing he's done for poor people is that he let 1,500 of them go from prison, including ones in there for attacking police and GOP Senators and Congress people are literally running away from questions about it. As long as they get tax cuts through for their donors, they might get through another election....

I mean if I had my own personal militia ready to go whenever I said the word I would pardon them as well

Raising the prices of essential medicines.

Donald Trump's Medicare executive order explained

Donald Trump has rescinded an executive order from President Joe Biden that sought to lower the price of drugs.

www.newsweek.com

Must be just about to sign the Executive Order to lower the price of eggs, and with those savings people can just pay more for medicines.

ANY minute now.

You're missing the genius of this policy. As people become healthier through increased egg consumption, they won't even need the more expensive medicine.

Can't wait for RFK to bring back healthy eating, access to sunlight, and Polio.

I understood trade with Russia had stopped because of sanctions.

So start up again but apply tarriffs?

Tariffs on what? Lada cars and turnips?

Cheap Vodka?

Or AK 47's so that armed militia will have to buy American weapons in preperation for their next coup d'etat?

Wait Wot?
So the low paid jobs being done by immigrants will be filled by forcing low education MAGAs to do them, the jobs MAGA don’t want to do.
And then immigrants will take the better paid jobs.
Hilarious.
Well done
