A top 10 line from Trump yesterday. How offensive!
The anatomically impossible one.
Got what I voted for again.By the end, with the stunned South African president looking on, Mr. Trump began flipping through his printouts repeating, "Death, death, death."
Trump has ordered the US Treasury to stop minting pennies. This is a good thing. The last batch will be minted in early 2026. It costs nearly 4 cents to produce a penny, with a face value of 1 cent. They will not be recalled so will remain legal tender and states will be allowed to determine how to handle the transition as it pertains to sales tax, etc.
Trump is only the second POTUS, in my lifetime, to eliminate needless, wasteful spending. The other one was Bush I. Yes, the senior George Bush who eliminated the helium reserve and the "tea tasters" department.
First, a caveat, having studied Donald Trump as a politician these past 10 years or so, and having researched more about him from his past, I have to acknowledge his ability to play poker. He has a proven track record of not always saying what he truly thinks and what he actually plans to do. And, YES, as a politician he has been remarkably refreshing of "promises made, promises kept." That much is true. But, he has also kept an ace up his sleeve, at times, and only played it at the absolutely most critical time. All that said, I am stepping back and watching and waiting to see how he handles Putin now.
On the surface it appears Trump is pulling a Pontious Pilate and washing his hands of the Ukraine-Russia war. There is every indication that is so. He just authorized the GOP Senate leaders, Thune and Graham, to craft a new sanctions package aimed at Russia. Thune said they are looking at a 500% tariff on Russian goods, not just those directly imported into the US, which is a very small amount anyway. But a 500% tariff aimed at any nation that imports Russian goods...and that will include China which is the single largest importer of Putin's oil. Trump indicated he would probably sign such a tariff package into law. And this also why he just delayed his latest tariff threat against the EU back to July 9th. He wants to give Thune and Graham time to craft a tariff plan, which will include Europe since Europe continues to trade with Putin, especially buying his O&G.
If all of this proves to be true, then I hope Trump will stop talking about Putin, his good buddy, and the whole Ukraine-Russia war. When asked he can simply reply, "I've turned this over to the Senate, ask them."
