Trump declared April to be National Child Abuse Prevention Month and explicitly called out "gender ideology" as child abuse:

National Child Abuse Prevention Month, 2025​

Proclamations

April 3, 2025
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation

America’s children are the foundation of our families, the heirs of our freedom, and the stewards of our national promise. This National Child Abuse Prevention Month, we commit to empowering every child in America to lead a fulfilling life of dignity and love — and we pledge to bring every abuser, predator, and evildoer who threatens the health and safety of our children to swift justice.

As citizens, each of us is entrusted with the sacred responsibility of caring for the most vulnerable among us, especially children uniquely at risk of trauma and abuse. My Administration recognizes that the most powerful safeguard against child abuse is a stable family with loving parents, and that there is no substitute for a strong mother and father. For this reason, I am working every day to fortify our families and embolden our Nation’s children to live their lives full of happiness, health, and success that they so dearly deserve. I call on every American to take steps to prevent child abuse and neglect before it occurs. By doing so, we can reduce the risk of depression, suicide, substance abuse, and developmental challenges in our youth.

Sadly, one of the most prevalent forms of child abuse facing our country today is the sinister threat of gender ideology. Proponents of the gender ideology movement are outrageously indoctrinating our children with the devastating lie that they are trapped in the wrong body — and that the only way they can be truly happy is to alter their sex with hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and sexual mutilation surgery. The evil and backwards lies of gender insanity are robbing our children of their happiness, health, and freedom, while imposing unimaginable heartbreak on parents and families. As I stated during my Joint Address to the Congress last month, my message to every American child is simple: you are perfect exactly the way God made you.

As President, I proudly signed Executive Order 14187 prohibiting public schools from indoctrinating our children with transgender ideology, while also taking action to cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in the sexual mutilation of our youth. To further protect our children, I have taken historic action to secure our southern border and end child trafficking — and am working diligently to make our young people healthy again.

This National Child Abuse Prevention Month, we pledge to stop the atrocity of child abuse in all its forms. We affirm that every perpetrator who inflicts violence on our children will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Above all, we vow to give our children the tools they need to fully embrace God’s gift of life, and to carry that radiant torch of American Liberty generations into the future.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 2025 as National Child Abuse Prevention Month. I call upon all Americans to invest in the lives of our Nation’s children, to be aware of their safety and well-being, and to support efforts that promote their psychological, physical, and emotional development.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
third day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.

DONALD J. TRUMP

The scuzzy fake Kiwi's finally released the report on the sinking HMNZS Manawanui. That survey ship that ran aground and sank. It's massively redacted but it's easy enough to put the events together if your familiar with navy ships.

https://www.nzdf.mil.nz/assets/Uploads/DocumentLibrary/MAN-COI-ROP-FINAL-31-Mar-25_Redacted-v2.pdf

TLDR: Female drivers...seriously. The captain was under trained and unprepared, the female navigator was under trained and unprepared for the emergency and the bridge crew, which was 50% female by commandant, was confused and hesitant to act until it was too late.

The Nav crew literally left the ship on auto-pilot while they tried to make course corrections then were confused and unsure what to do when the ship kept correcting the heading which was straight toward the reef.

After the impact the fires that were started by the crash were allowed to grow out of control as the captain prioritized getting the crew off the ship rather then try to fight the causality. IE: the second the ship hit the reef the captain panicked and started to abandon ship without even trying to see if the ship could be saved.

Best bit:

"18:15 the ECDV (electronic charting device) starts to sound an alarm, no verbal confirmation of this alarm was was recorded by the bridge data devices"

LOL, the ship itself was telling these morons it was in danger and either no one noticed or no one cared.

edit: I lied best bit was when they applied extra power to the thrusters (18:22) to try to turn the ship but only causes them to speed even faster towards the reef since they are still in autopilot! They do this not once, not twice but three times in 3 minutes until reached 100% thrust power. Fucking KeK

God damn....DIE all the way down. They are so lucky no one died and all it cost them was $150 million.

Here's a good guy to walk you through it if you really care. It's a pretty detailed breakdown so it's not for everyone.

So like, Temu, Wish, all those sorts of things, were operating on a fucking obscene loophole where they were exempt from all duties as long as they were sending a billion single item packaged instead of retail scale orders.

There were entire sections of industrial zones in manufacturing hub cities dedicated to supplying these sites. If you’re a factory worker in China right now, you are FUCKED.

Also, Foxconn is rapidly leaving China for India
 
victims of whitey over and over in the story and background until they break into a giant pseudo-communist "revolution" race riot
At least they still let you kill the black slaves and shoot the little girl singing in the riot. Still a stupid as fuck game that misunderstands Americana as a whole, but those few instances were good.
Shame too, because visually I like the game a lot.
You mean the one my Chink raceplay slave works at ?
even as a joke, there is shit you shouldn’t say. Now I have no choice but to assume you’re an open pedophile with an Asian fetish

Edit:

You tried to edit your post to save face, but the internet never forgets. You’re a retard, but own up to your retardation

Really nigga you think half of all Chinese factors will close in a year ?
See post directly above this.

Remember that China doesn’t operate like a normal country. They needed twenty years of annual GDP growth in excess of 10% to make it to where they are where people pull oil out of gutters for your hot pot restaurant experiment and people do shit like pass off extruded plastic as rice.

You don’t have a functional justice system in China, it’s a kleptocracy. A standard factory worker works twelve hour shifts six days a week and can still barely afford to live.

So like I mentioned above, people with any sort of means have been desperate to move their money out of china, and that’s why the median Canadian home cost more than $700,000 dollars while basically nobody in Canada earns enough to spend that

There’s no capital just chilling waiting for reinvestment, and foreign investment dried up

They are super, super fucked
 
Also this perspective: the US has the largest demand of any market on earth, and running $1 trillion trade deficits annually bottom line means we consume $1 trillion a year more than we produce. You manufacture when you have demand, because demand is what enables manufacturing. The whole utility of export is to search for demand.

You can run a trade deficit if next year's economic growth is as big or bigger than last year's trade deficit. The trade deficit is then just financing investment. Same reason a growing company doesn't have to turn a profit. Problem is our "growth" has lately been government spending, meaning we're just paying for the trade deficit with debt.
 
Really nigga you think half of all Chinese factors will close in a year ?
A lot of factories in China are small sweatshop and that's why you can order the exact same items from all three websites but receive wildly different results. Here's a random Temu/Shein/Wish video I picked at random. This is a very popular video to make, so there's tons of them, all very similar:

Temu, Shein, Wish

These Chinese platforms send specs out to various different sweatshops around the country. The sweatshops source their own materials, which makes the quality and output results somewhat random. I can't remember where I heard it, but apparently Ali Baba does the same thing, so you can get three different versions of the same item in a large order. So yeah, it's not a wild exaggeration to say that half of Chinese factories could go under, if they're small 15-person sweatshops who get their orders exclusively from Wish, Temu, and/or Shein.
