“I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday night when asked why his supporters are so interested in the case. “It’s pretty boring stuff. It’s sordid, but it’s boring, and I don’t understand why it keeps going.

“I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going,” he added. “But credible information, let them give it. Anything that is credible, I would say, let them have it.”

That is actually my exact argument that comedian stars are held to a different standard than traditional politicians and can get away with many more improprieties. This is why Trump gets away with so much. He is not a traditional politician and is held to different standards. Trying to hold him to the standard of a traditional politician will not and has not worked.

appearing on a popular television variety show years before you take office is not an impropriety. your example just isn't apropos.

but even if it were, you're still missing the point. you're fixated on can trump get away with it. i'm sure he can. but the folks here are saying it is bad for a president to use the office to enrich themselves, even if it is permissible.

There is a video segment of Zelensky playing the piano with his testicles in front of an audience. If a traditional politician went on stage and did it, or if previously filmed segment was uncovered and publicized as they were campaigning, this would be campaign ending for them. For a traditional politician a video of them pants down in front of a piano would be professionally embarrassing and they would have to resign or get rejected by their party. Zelensky got away with it because he was a media and comedic star, and his antics even gained him popularity.

i like how you go out of your way to make it sound like zelensky got caught doing something horribly inappropriate but escaped the scandal during his campaign/presidency due only to his celebrity.

lol it was an obviously-fake skit on a popular variety show from like three years before zelensky even ran for office, dummy. this is like saying "arnold schwarzenegger got to keep being governor of california even though he was once a killer cyborg from the future!!!!!!!"

It is fascinating how the left fixates on Trump's height, as if that is relevant at all to the unprecedented political upheaval and mass demolishment of the constitution and due process of law

for once i actually completely agree with you

timmy and actionlackey are right, it's just stupid crybaby liberals who think this is bad policy. deranged, leftist comedians like ben shapiro and the national review.


https://www.aei.org/economics/president-trumps-tariff-formula-makes-no-economic-sense-its-also-based-on-an-error/

The formula for the tariffs, originally credited to the Council of Economic Advisers and published by the Office of the United States Trade Representative, does not make economic sense. The trade deficit with a given country is not determined only by tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers, but also by international capital flows, supply chains, comparative advantage, geography, etc.
...
Now, our view is that the formula the administration relied on has no foundation in either economic theory or trade law. But if we are going to pretend that it is a sound basis for US trade policy, we should at least be allowed to expect that the relevant White House officials do their calculations carefully. Hopefully they will correct their mistake soon: the resulting trade liberalization would provide a much-needed boost to the economy and may yet help us stave off a recession.

Why can’t I have a factory job just like 1955 Ford? Yes, I’m sure that you wanted to be in a non-air conditioned factory, riveting all day ... that’s your ideal job. No it isn’t.
...
I can name you a period in American history where there was a fairly large surplus in America’s balance of trade. The entire Great Depression.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2025/04/congress-should-end-trumps-trade-war/

If it seems preposterous that a single person could enjoy this much power over the American economy — and, with it, the global economy — rest assured that it is. In Article I, the Constitution vests the “power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises” in Congress, not in the president. As a result, the president has no power to impose tariffs that he has not been accorded by an act of the legislature. If it desires, Congress can choose to take back as much of that power as it sees fit. It ought to do so — and do so now.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-tariffs-republican-donor-ken-langone-b2729352.html

Longtime Republican megadonor and Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone has slammed the president’s tariffs as “bulls****”.
...
“I don’t understand the goddamn formula,” he said. “I believe he’s been poorly advised by his advisers about this trade situation – and the formula they’re applying.”

Pete Hegseth weighed the risks and used an encrypted, government-approved app to accidentally send confidential, sensitive information to a complete stranger, and then sent a couple of people to congress to lie about it

it really doesn't matter how many times you use the word larping — you're the only person who doesn't see this as problematic.
