    If even Fox “News” reports bad statistics on Trump, what would proper statistics tell? We’ll probably learn this only after the war, just like in Germany 80 years ago.

      Fox News polling has been about as good as anywhere else. The specific number cited was having a -20 point spread for approval/disapproval on the economy. That’s basically in line with what other pollsters are showing.

      At least for now, their polls are probably good, but I don’t know if that will stay true. My guess is that they dump polling entirely rather than try to fake numbers. Perhaps they’ll try to generate numbers with an LLM and keep prompting it until they see the ones they want. In either case, it’ll be pretty obvious.

        I would expect Fox “News” just to hold back when the numbers are bad, and just attack anyone else showing similar numbers as enemies of the state or something.

    If you really want to know who Trump is, google:

    Case 5:16-cv-00797-DMG-KS

    See section 12.

      While I do think Trump has committed severe sexual assaults, likely against minors, there is some reasonable doubt regarding this specific case.

      Mainly, no one has ever seen Katie Johnson and the person who who assisted in filing this case was Norm Lubow, a former Jerry Springer producer with a history of trolling the media.

      I’m not saying the case isn’t real or not but I do think as it is now, there is reasonable doubt.

    30 trillion GDP from the US in 2024. Trump thinks we got more than half that already from investments and tariffs? Who believes this stupid bastard lol.

    There is a children’s book called That’s Not Fair, containing 6 stories of a furry orange mayor making stupid laws, realizing they’re stupid, and backtracking. One of them involves him forcing the newspapers to write only good news. I think it was written during Trump’s first presidency.

    The US was never the car capital of the world, unless you are referring to our lack of trains and public transportation.

    ZERO car manufacturers are moving their factories from overseas to the US. There are a few smaller ones that are still in start up phase or already had a factory here. But no one is building a new factory and shutting down anything overseas.

      Well, Hyundai was, until ICE viscerally demonstrated what a stupid idea that was!

        The Hyundai plant in Georgia was first starting to be built in 2022. Meaning the plans were made before that. Meaning Trumps fucking tariffs have nothing to do with its construction.

          I understand that; I was “yes, and”-ing you by making the opposite point about how the ICE raid stopped the construction.

          Trump’s fascist policies can’t bring prosperity to the US, but they sure as fuck can drive it away!

      We kinda were during WW2, but that has more to do with everyone else having to focus on things like tanks and their factories being blown up. This is also why basically every country has a Jeep and M3 Truck derivative.
