No other President in history has ever done anything like this… https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/business/trump-state-grants-canceled.html

So it wasn't just against those that voted for Harris. Roll Eyes

"“Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left’s climate agenda is being canceled,” White House Budget Director Russ Vought announced on social media, listing 16 states that voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election."

AKA renewables that they want all of America to pay for. Meanwhile in New York they are imposing renewables in places that are not burning fossil fuels. Roll Eyes

Trump is a pathetic excuse for a human.

He doesn't have a single redeeming feature. Not one.

I can't think of anyone else that I can say the same thing about.

Trump is the worst example of a human being that the world has ever seen.

I think there will be more people celebrating his passing when it happens than those who will mourn.

There will be celebrations in the streets, all over the world, when he dies.

Conversely, I can't think of a single person who will genuinely mourn his death.

The world will be a much, much better place without him in it.

Almost on par with the passing of Hitler or Putin (eventually) or other reviled dictators throughout history.

Exactly.

There will never be a publicly accessible grave/tombstone/memorial to Trump because there would just be a queue a mile long of people wanting to piss on on it.

It’s probably how Trump see’s himself.

All this and nothing on Trump's 12.5% tariffs on Australia for apparently having slave labour. Now that is something you would think would trigger both left and right in Australia. I oppose the new tariffs. Who else?
