Welcome to 2026, TACO's for everybody.
White House: ‘President Trump has signed an executive order to amend tariffs on timber, lumber, and their derivative products imported into the United States.’

Welcome to 2026, TACO's for everybody.
Trump brought about the age of "if you vote for me & send me money, you're welcome into the fold" but did it for personal enrichment. The rest have seen it works & are doing it for political power.
I'd add that Vance has repeatedly insisted that the GOP welcome Hitler-lovers like Nick Fuentes, who continually bashes Vance and his wife, into the party.
This has been reported almost exclusively as him expressing "unity" and trying to avoid infighting.

Fat Cat Insurance Companies need to make a phony baloney peace prize & give to Trump if they want him to stop all this.
Trump: ‘Republicans: No more money to Fat Cat Insurance Companies. The money must go directly to the people to buy their own Healthcare. President DJT’

Is this when Trump finally became President?
In a duo of posts, Trump misspells Tim Walz's name and Tina Peters's and says that Colorado officials (including the governor, who he calls a "scumbag") should "rot in hell"

Good for consumers but bad for oil company profits. Look for their giant subsidies to get even larger. Trump keeps his financial supporters happy using taxpayer money. The lower prices Trump will brag about will be funded by payouts to big oil at taxpayer expense.

The oldest trick in the book. Shift a program to the States. When the States can't fully fund, program gets cut. Americans suffer while Feds claim it's not their fault.
President Donald Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act will shift billions in costs for SNAP and Medicaid to states.
But with 26 having cut or eliminated state income taxes just since 2021, they may not have the money to continue the programs.

Overt action not covert action.
Exclusive: The CIA carried out a drone strike earlier this month on a port facility in Venezuela, sources told CNN, marking the first known US attack on a target inside that country. This is the attack Trump has repeatedly alluded to in recent days. www.cnn.com/2025/12/29/p...

The free speech absolutists, say something they don't like & you get put in jail.
A retired Tennessee policeman who spent more than a month in jail over an anti-Trump Facebook post is suing the authorities responsible for his arrest.
Attorneys for Larry Bushart, 61, allege in the lawsuit that those responsible violated Bushart's First and Fourth Amendment rights.

This is a common talking point in Trump world but let’s do the math. Just using 20 million would mean 24,000 people crossed the border EVERY SINGLE DAY of the entire Biden administration.
Turner: "When you look at Biden administration & the weak immigration policies, tens of millions of illegal immigrants came across unchecked & that caused housing supply to go down & costs to go up. With secure borders & our fiscal house getting in order, this is a step toward housing affordability"
