Plus ... I'm not so sure Trump bringing up his association with another serial criminal who committed suicide in prison is the way to go right now.
Why not?
99% of Republicans in Congress fully endorse this criminality. Always have. Always will. Birds of a feather, pigs and swine.

Not yet a result, but I'm hearing he's gonna go through with firing Powell from the Fed.

Buckle up, markets are going to fucking HATE this.

What, every MAGA knows the economy needs to be centralized under the command of a single dictatorial tyrant!

Another example of stupid Trump's big mouth hurting him and USA:


Getting attacked by Trump in public is perhaps the best thing that can happen to any incumbent president/government. Trump can't conceive that everywhere else also has their own domestic politics lol.

Given that he's put tariffs on everything from everywhere and you don't grow sugar cane in the USA and he doesn't like trade deficits it seems a bit of a weird policy.

Yes we do grow sugar cane in the USA. I remember getting stalks of sugar cane (in Georgia) when I was a small child from a home press powered by a mule to squeeze the juice out to boil and render into homemade syrup.

Florida:
Florida is the largest sugarcane-producing state in the US, with most production occurring in the southern part of the state, near Lake Okeechobee.

Louisiana:
Sugarcane is grown in the Mississippi River Delta region of Louisiana, where fertile soils and a warm climate are beneficial.

Texas:
Sugarcane is grown in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, which has a subtropical climate with long, hot summers.

Hawaii:
Sugarcane is also grown in Hawaii, but production is not as significant as in the other three states.

That's very cool but I'm not sure you are going to provide enough cane sugar for all of Cokes US needs with that set up!

You'll need at least another couple of mules!

I'm sure the Sugar Can process has greatly improved since then. Granted we most likely don't produce enough currently, but That can be fixed...

I don't drink much soda at all, but I do remember when a bottle of Coke was a nickle. When it went up to 6 cents my grandfather was all pissed off about it. LOL
There's probably a difference in consumption now as well.
When I was a kid you had a glass of fizzy pop as a treat rather than finishing off a litre bottle of the stuff in one go!
