    I think Trump said he will.

    I see what you did there. It's seems those executive orders that trump signed aren't as watertight as trump thinks/has been lead to believe because it seems at least two were memorandums.

    This isn't the 1st time that Trump has shown that he doesn't really understand the difference between Executive Order , Law or Memoranda.

    The us is in huge trouble and their president has no idea what he’s doing.

    And many people seem strangely happy about it, which is worse.

    I watched interviews of senior Trump Advisors [Peter Navarro and Larry Kudlow] on 2 different channels NBC & Bloomberg, both being screened at the same time. Navarro's was about his role as the Defence Production Act advisor to Trump, he talked about how Trump used the act 30 times to get things moving but could only instance 2 actual times Trump used the act in relation to the epidemic. Neither answer could be defined as exciting the Industrial Complex of the U.S into activities they were not already pursuing on behalf of the U.S against the epidemic.

    Larry Kudlow was circumspect in respect to his boss, Trump, and the latest executive [funding] orders, using the word "SEEM" several times when he was answering different questions about the orders - the President seems to mean - like he wasn't fully aboard with the contents of Trump's orders.

    Kodak seems to be in trouble with the regulators in connection with the granting of Covid-19 emergency funding of $765m loan to it, the regulators having put a hold on the funding, which seems to have been granted to allow Kodak get involved in the pharma-production business to help the fight against the covid epidemic. The funding was being provided via the U.S international Development Finance Corp which handles Defence Production Act financing. Kodak share price fell on the news after a rise of approx 1,500% at the end of July.

    Is Trump now planning at using EO to limit mail in voting?

    Not planning . Threatening

    Recent EOs

    Income supports
    Anti eviction legislation
    Student loan repayment freeze
    Certain income tax freeze on those earning less than 104k per year

    The man who slated Obama and said he would limit the use of EO as they were not what government was meant to be. The man who was the best deal maker in the world, has singularly failed to get any cross party deal throughout 4 years.

    He is left scrabbling around with EO, which of course can be removed at the stroke of a pen when he eventually departs the WH.

    If anyone needed any other example of what a complete disaster Trumo is, look no further than the fact that he can't even do what he said he was singularly qualified to do.

    Maybe he should read Art of the Deal to get some tips

    Something going on at the White house, Trump escorted off stage by the secret service 5 mins into press conference


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Trump just got pulled out of a press conference at the very start. Not sure why. Looked like security pulled him.

    Up the standards please.


    Excuse me? What soundbites. I'm asking posters opinions on Bidens obvious health issues.

    The debates are scheduled for September 29 and October 22, will be interesting.

    I'm not watching or listening but what exactly is he ****ing on about now ?

    Yeap really looking forward to them.

    Interesting is one word that could be used to describe what they'll be.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,465 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    Have seen his latest interview?

    Trump as much as I dislike him is going to destroy him at the debates. I want the Democrats to put someone forward who'll at least get out and oppose Trump.

    Joe needs to stop hiding in his bunker.

    Well the mask didn’t take long to slip.

    One post to go from “i dislike trump as much as anyone else” to “Biden needs to stop hiding in his bunker”...one of trumps oft used phrases.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,840 ✭✭✭hetuzozaho


    This conference is so odd even for him! Seems strange he came back after the shooting and then just chatting bout it the way he is. Hmmm

    Trust me, if you were one of the millions laid off due to Covid and living in the u.s you wouldn’t be saying that.

    Are the rules agreed yet? I expect a bit of arguing between now and then if not

    Vincent Browne would be great in the audience for questions.


  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭Username2017


    Who’s telling me they wouldn’t want a president who looks after his own people. Americans pay less taxes because of him, they were getting over $1000 pw for months pandemic unemployment, stimulus checks and more to come! He’s bypassed the Democrats and passed another $400 pw pandemic relief as well as unemployment. If it was left to other politicians out there people would be out on the streets. He hasn’t sold his soul to fake news so unfortunately they only show the bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 933 ✭✭✭jamule


    He loves his EOs. Whats next, is he going to go through laws and rights people already have so he can signal to people that he is there for them.

    He said he would be pushing an “executive order” to protect people with pre-existing conditions, even though they are already covered under Obamacare, which the Trump administration is trying to dismantle.

    Asked why an “executive order” is needed for a protection already in place (which he is trying to remove), Trump responded that it’s “just a double safety net”. He said he wanted Republicans to be known as protecting people with pre-existing conditions: “It’s a signal to people.”

    Fingers crossed Biden turns up for the debates

    I'm not sure where to start with this post so I won't start just to say a certain Romania gymnast in 1976 would have a hard time achieving a perfect ten on this.

    I do dislike Trump, he comes across as an ass.

    Am I not allowed question Biden around here?


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,640 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    He said that the Spanish flu in 1917 (it was 1918) ended World War 2 because “all the soldiers got sick" :pac:

    But Biden is the gaff prone senile one :D

    Any Trump fans have an opinion on this??

    Trust me, if you were one of the millions laid off due to Covid and living in the u.s you wouldn’t be saying that.

    Trump knows what he's doing all right, trying an absurd sleight of hand trick on the unemployment funding front with the agreement of the GOP against the Dems, only everyone [including the laid-off workers] can see the trick this time so much so that members of the GOP have felt it necessary to mention it because those members know the states wont be able to pony up the cash that Trump and Navarro say will be needed as the quid pro quo for the Govt funding. Even Kudlow knows the figures being sprouted by Trump's finance admin team as part of Trump's trick don't compute, as shown yesterday on TV.
