You’re thinking about traditional politics. Trump and MAGA are another phenomenon and I think 2028 puts Vance at a great position.

Basically all the Democrat contenders stand no chance against Vance. Unless we have some new magic nigger climb up and gain popularity by 2027, it’s unlikely that Dems would win.
Basicly this. I think vice president's bear the curse because they're rarely seen and when they are its usually not for good reasons. Vance has done a great job of putting himself out there between press tours and podcasts and I'd imagine that's very intentional. I think Trump knows even at his pace he can't fix everything in 4 years and you don't want it reversed by a Dem win after he's done. Having JD out there ensures people are very used to him and know who he is as much as they know who the president is. In 4 years you're going to be conditioned to see him as the successor. In my mind there's a lot of planning for thr next decade plus going on in the Trump camp but I could just be a schizo. Only time will tell
 
Just saw something on YouTube. Captain, apparently pilot-in-command. In about six years, spent time as a White House social aide. Was also battalion executive officer. 450 hours in the Black Hawk. Number seems low but we'll see what the investigation turns up. Bet they will look at her entire flying record, including pilot training.
 
Didn’t Trudeau resign? The fuck is that faggot doing talking to anyone?
He resigned as party leader for his party, he is still the Prime Minister until the next election and then he's out.

Canada is stupid, and its elections are like Britain, where the heads of each party are essentially the ones selected for Prime Minister once their party gets enough seats in the Parliament. The best way to explain it is like the United States doesn't have a presidential election, it has the Senate and Congress races, once those are decided whoever the Republican or Democrat leader is becomes President based on which party won the most seats in the House and Senate.
 
Why wouldn’t he? He has the most solid chance of succeeding his President since Bush Sr.
This.

It is quite obvious to me that Vance will run in 28. He is watching and learning. Far as being the VP goes, he's the polar opposite of Harris, And should something happen to President Trump before the end of his term Vance will be able to step right in, effectively.

This is why Biden was never 25thed. NOBODY wanted Harris in the Oval Office, not even for a week. She simply could not do the job.

He isn't continuing his current tenure but he will step down when the actual party elections occur.

We don't need Canada's oil, or anyone else's for that matter. Fracking has opened the taps. We are a large exporter of refined products and Liquefied Natural Gas.
The oil is just a bonus, the real prize is the gold and uranium supplies.
 
I really don't understand what Mexico and Canada think they are gonna do. Trump and the USA can stay retarded for far. FAR longer than they can stay solvent.

By the time the USA starts to actually "suffer" from the effects of the tariffs Canada and Mexico will be long collapsed.
 
The big thing with tariffs and the Great Depression is that quite a few people argue that tariffs make financial recessions worse. Another thing is that the world isn't really used to a protectionist United States since it hasn't really firmly been around since before World War 2.
From page 5 of the linked study
tariffs in the United States rose from the level of 13 percent during the 1920’s to 16.6 percent during the 1930’s, while those in most European countries more than tripled. Comparing these numbers gives the impression that the U.S. bore the brunt of the tariff escalation.
yet during McKinley's term the US had an almost 50% tariff.
I'd also like to point out that this study was done by the federal reserve which I believe is a biased source on this topic because they lowered monetary supply.
 
Leaked from Trudeau's prepared speech:
"President Trump and I spoke today and he said 'The Day of the Rake has finally come you snowbeaner, syrup back pussy' then hung up the phone"
"Then he fucked my ex wife Sophie in front of me, which is weird because she said she was a lesbian. So I sent her a DM on TikTok but she blocked me."
 
Wasn’t the Great Depression partially caused by Germany effectively collapsing due to being unable to pay back their Versailles treaty debt holders while the proto-Nazis and Communists warred in the streets along with debt holders then going bust because they basically treated Germany as the infinite money cheat?

It basically was a retarded domino effect. The US was fucked because the Fed prevented the natural recovery and then FDR prolonged it once he got in.
