Walmart, Target and Home Depot executives met with Trump and told him that if there is no resolution with China there will shortages and empty shelves.

Product shortages and empty store shelves loom with falling shipments from China

Businesses have been canceling orders for products from China after Trump imposed a 145% tariff on most Chinese imports, risking product shortages for American consumers.

Interesting.

I called my son a little while ago to discuss the NFL draft. I asked him if any of his clients are concerned about empty shelves at some point. He laughed and said, "no, why?"

He is a paid supply chain consultant for Walmart, Target and a variety of their suppliers.

My friend paid 100k to spend 10 minutes on Air Force One with Trump during his first term.

Have you ever heard of spending 50k per plate to dine with these guys?

Those donations go to political operations (campaigns and parties), not to the candidate himself.

I'm fairly certain most Americans would not approve of pols simply taking checks for meetings. They don't particularly like that stuff when the money goes specifically to politics. They'd like the direct graft even less.

It's so frigging moronic to say things like "the west wanted war in Ukraine" it actually makes you seem like the court jester. Kind of a sad funny.

The West wanted that war so bad they ignored Putin taking Crimea and meddling in the Donbas for 8 years, under three Admins - one being Trump 1. Putin's "rebel" incursion petered out without the gains he wanted, so he went for the real war, which has also largely failed.

Congrats to him for the million or so casualties of his own countrymen he's managed in that morass. Still bogged down 50-60 miles off his own border. Truly pathetic.

History is your friend. Not all of our motives our pure, it makes you look ignorant. John McCain was all over Kiev in his final years. NATO wouldn't offer a hard NO to Ukraine.

No better place to test weaponry than in someone else's backyard in an actual war. Even better to test it in a war without US deaths.

And you finish off your ignorant post by blaming Trump! Crimea - taken under Obama. Trump 1: Nothing taken. Defensive weaponry given/sold to Ukraine. US energy production way up. Sanctions on Russia pipelines. Biden: Trump sanctions removed. Full scale invasion 13 months into the administration. But, yeah, it is Trump's fault. Truly pathetic.

Sure looks like they are targeting criminals here. Not people at schools and churches like the media implies.

With all the talk of EV's, apparently Bezos is part of an effort to bring a new EV truck to market. Sounds like it has a long way to go to become reality but they are saying 2026. (It also sounds improbable but hey rich guys can throw money around however they want)

I think it is interesting that Bezos has jumped into space and EV's. Bit of a rivalry with Musk?


ps. charging stations. Tesla had a proprietary network that is pretty good. The 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law had a bunch of money in it for charging stations and apparently Tesla was enticed to open up their network to other manufacturers. (Also, Consumer Reports says they make money off of other companies using their chargers.) Most manufacturers are having to redesign some things to use the Tesla network but it is coming.

Hmmm, a Democrat donor named to a commission. What else did they get? Jeff? Jeff?

Ukraine got $250 B for a $4M dollar investment in the Biden family. Draino hates that war in theory but won't accept that the west wanted it and were equally complicit in provoking the war. Ukraine? Used and abused.

TJ asked me why I'm still here today.

Shiz ... the last month of the Trump Show has been deeply satisfying. Horrendously thought out plans resulting in real carnage and obvious voter concerns. Classic stuff.

Here's what's interesting. I really didn't like Trump, didn't vote for him in 2016. But within 6 months, it seemed clear he was running a relatively standard GOP Admin and it was the Dems who were completely off the reservation.

Can anyone say that today? Which side looks crazy? Trump with the restraint of the GOPe had some upside politically, what we are seeing in Term 2, even though I'm not against all the policies, is almost all politically negative.

Since you say he is giving access, prove it. Please let me know who is buying his crypto for access.

You have completely lost it. We know the Democrats loved lawfare against Trump - so surely it was investigated. Draino loves lawfare - more billable hours and the real winners are lawyers!

Every serious person in the Crypto industry considers meme coins a complete scam. It seems bad that one is being pumped via a "meet the President" angle.

I honestly have not looked at this meme coin market. If you buy one, do you get to meet Trump?

You’re defending the President running meme coin pump and dump schemes on his followers?

How much did you buy? Get any Hawk Tuah coins?

Trump is allowing people to buy access. You don't believe that someone who buys a large amount of worthless crypto wants nothing from Trump.

It is not surprising that MAGA can't imagine the possibilities when it comes to Trump.

So, you believe that someone that buys this crypto will get political favors from Trump?
