Same with this one.According to analysts, the debt added during the first Trump administration (2017–2021) was largely driven by COVID-19 relief legislation ($3.6 trillion), tax cuts ($2.5 trillion), and other spending increases ($2.3 trillion).

Yet no source for any of it right?Yeah, the fact check says it was on average only 21 false or misleading statements every day for four years.
That's quite impressive!![]()

The above example of Wut's; emotionally powerful yet intellectually devoid of all meaning. It's the same with the tweet I criticized earlier.
I get this impression that there is a factory in China somewhere employing child labor and all these kids do all day long is crayon together meaningless emotive garbage.

I mean we know he often talks k@k but exaggerating it makes people look foolish.I'm sure the data they used is available - you'd be reading for days though.
It sounds quite possible as he is endlessly spewing complete k@k.

Is this normal or something new under this administration? I'm now curious as to what exactly Israel know about these politicians that would destroy them if released. They even want to join their militaries. Is Bibi supreme president (whatever that is) of the US?
Yet some people complain when this thread fills with Trump. Have people here conveniently forgotten about JZ? How his lies, corruption and ineptitude were on every social media platform, newspaper, etc? Why should it be different about Trump (similar traits to JZ's, or worse).
Sounds like something a criminal would do![]()
Trump says he will dismantle the ICC ‘brick by brick’. It could be his most chilling move of all | Steve Bloomfield
The US is aligning itself with dictators and autocrats to prevent those accused of genocide, ethnic cleansing and war crimes from ever facing justice, says Steve Bloomfield, former international editor of the Observerwww.theguardian.com
Barely a month appears to go by without Donald Trump making a fresh attempt to destroy the international rules-based order. The US has pulled funding from dozens of international institutions, shut down USAID and withdrawn from the Paris climate agreement. Nato may survive on paper, but Trump has made clear that he has little interest in coming to the aid of any ally that is attacked. The Board of Peace is clearly an attempt to sideline the United Nations.
But the state department’s announcement last week that it wishes to dismantle the international criminal court “brick by brick” could be Trump’s most frightening move of all.
This is not an idle social media post sent out late at night; there is no chance that the next person to speak to Trump might change his mind. It is now official US policy to destroy the ICC, and the administration is prepared to go to extraordinary lengths to do so.
Nations that do not fall into line will be punished. The state department has promised “increased scrutiny of nations that refuse to reject the ICC’s false authority while relying on US assistance”, particularly targeting those countries that “enjoy the benefits of the US security umbrella”. That will include the UK, a country that contributes just over £15m a year to the ICC, making it the fourth largest donor after Japan, Germany and France.
