Where to begin? Trump said many things when he was campaigning. I struggle to believe people took his statements at face value? But, apparently they did. During the 1st Trump presidency my old site was up and running even then Trump was as much of a bull in a china shop as he is now.
After all, he was the man who gave the world “Operation Warp Speed”, experimental gene therapy masquerading as vaccines. That fact went down the memory hole, somehow? I’m afraid it’s because people wanted to believe Trump’s campaign propaganda
On tariffs- With friends like Trump in the US, Canada doesn’t need any enemies. Clearly the whole border immigrant/ drug issue was the start of Trump’s bully campaign’.
Ethnic Cleansing is on the agenda in Gaza and US troops will NOT leave Syria
We’re going long!
Tariffs are coming to fruition– BBC
President Donald Trump has ordered a 25% import tax on all steel and aluminium entering the US in a major expansion of existing trade barriers.
The tariffs, which will increase the costs of importing the metals into the US, come despite warnings of retaliation from some political leaders in Canada – America’s biggest supplier of the metals – as well as other countries.
US businesses dependent on the imports have also raised concerns, but Trump has said his plans will boost domestic production.
He warned there would be no exceptions, saying he was “simplifying” the rules, which are set to come into effect on 12 March.
I’m not sure how he’s going to boost domestic production in such a short time frame but that’s his claim.

2- Trump’s Vaccine Chief Has Vast Ties to Drug Industry, Posing Possible Conflicts
Moncef Slaoui, a former pharmaceutical executive, is now overseeing the U.S. initiative to develop coronavirus treatments and vaccines. His financial interests and corporate roles have come under scrutiny.Head of Operation Warp Speed under Trump’s admin and recently appointed to Abzena (might be a name worth watching?)
The chief scientist brought on to lead the Trump administration’s vaccine efforts has spent the last several days trying to disentangle pieces of his stock portfolio and his intricate ties to big pharmaceutical interests, as critics point to the potential for significant conflicts of interest.
The scientist, Moncef Slaoui, is a venture capitalist and a former longtime executive at GlaxoSmithKline. Most recently, he sat on the board of Moderna, a Cambridge, Mass., biotechnology firm with a $30 billion valuation that is pursuing a coronavirus vaccine. He resigned when President Trump named him last Thursday to the new post as chief adviser for Operation Warp Speed, the federal drive for coronavirus vaccines and treatments.
Just days into his job, the extent of Dr. Slaoui’s financial interests in drug companies has begun to emerge: The value of his stock holdings in Moderna jumped nearly $2.4 million, to $12.4 million when the company released preliminary, partial data from an early phase of its candidate vaccine trial that helped send the markets soaring on Monday. Yet somehow people believe exactly the opposite of reality and see the Covid psyop as belonging entirely to Biden- Wrong!
Donald Trump- Ethnic Cleansing is the way
As Trump plans to gentrify the land- No doubt gaudy casinos will dot the beach front property. Oh and the Palestinians have to leave and they will have no right of return- Coincidentally, or not, Jared Kushner had suggested this outcome about a year ago
Jared Kushner- I’ve got money to make off the suffering of the exploited masses!
The former property dealer, married to Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka, made the comments in an interview at Harvard University on 15 February.
“It’s a little bit of an unfortunate situation there, but from Israel’s perspective I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up,” Kushner said. “But I don’t think that Israel has stated that they don’t want the people to move back there afterwards.”
Donald peace president Trump, said it for the Israeli government as he does their bidding
The remarks are the latest effective endorsement of ethnic cleansing by the US president, who announced his plan last week during a summit with the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to the outrage of the Arab world and the surprise of even his closest aides.
In the interview with Fox’s Bret Baier, Trump said that he would “own” the Gaza Strip and declared it would be a “real estate development for the future”.
Right of return is enshrined in international law and is in fact how Israel came to be.
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Hamas should release all hostages held by the militant group in Gaza by midday Saturday or he would propose canceling the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and “let hell break out.”
Trump cautioned that Israel might want to override him on the issue and said he might speak to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
His concern lies with Israeli hostages and not Palestinian hostages kept and released in emaciated, diseased, traumatized conditions
Yup, Mr Peace President
The US isn’t going to pull troops out of Syria- They never left Iraq, despite claiming to have done so under the other Peace President, Obama. Past being a very good indicator about the future. As covered in 2014 at my old site
https://pennyforyourthoughts2.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-us-departure-from-iraq-was-all.html
Leading back to the report linked below
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/oct/25/us-departure-iraq-illusion
Jonathan Steele wrote that the Iraq war was over and the US had learned “that putting western boots on the ground in a foreign war, particularly in a Muslim country, is madness”. Yet this madness may continue in a different guise, as there is a huge gap between rhetoric and reality surrounding the US departure from Iraq. In fact, there are a number of avenues by which the US will be able to exert military influence in the country.
The madness continued because the US never left and they were never going to. The needed occupied Iraq as a staging ground for the attack on Syria, as well as targeting Iran. Possibly for other reasons one of which would surely be arms/drug smuggling.
Onto Trump’s claim regarding withdrawing from Syria
Apparently he’s expressed interest. In 30, 60 or 90 days?
Trump and officials close to him expressed interest in pulling all U.S. troops out of Syria, prompting the Pentagon to draw up plans for a full withdrawal in 30, 60 or 90 days.
Maybe it’s 120 days, but, more likely it’s a never. Same as in Iraq
A White House official said the potential reduction of U.S. forces in Syria was not a topic of the briefing or the purpose of Waltz’s visit
Jerusalem Post is covering this claim as well, with more caveats
Things are moving fast in Syria because the new government in Damascus is acting with pragmatism and is stabilizing the country. (Interesting how Jerusalem Post is claiming the new government is acting with pragmatism) Recently, Damascus sent forces into Afrin in northwest Syria.
It is moving to create deals and secure the country. If it does a deal with the SDF, then the US’ role in eastern Syria
mightnot be necessary. Trump could say it has been “mission accomplished” in eastern Syria.
Trump could say that but it would be more hyperbole
There are up to 2,000 US troops in Syria. They play a role at several bases and posts east of the Euphrates.
Many things appear to be moving in the right direction. The US role in eastern Syria was to fight ISIS. Will ISIS feel it can re-emerge if the US leaves? That is a key question that will need to be answered.
We’re supposed to believe these people are Islamist terrorists? Though the Israeli press is very positive on their proxies in Syria. And why not? These fighters are western backed, bought and paid for.
