Trump on John Deere factory in NC: - “I think it is going to pay off very, very big, and if it doesn’t, I have nothing to do with it. If it does, I’m going to take full credit.”


Froggy voice and low energy. Tick Tock, Tick tock...
Deere's own press release is something to behold:
Expansion builds on Deere’s and President Trump’s Commitment to U.S. Manufacturing

What it means:

NEW American Jobs
The Kernersville Campus moved Manufacturing / Production from Overseas (Japan) to America
The Kernersville campus will produce the ONLY excavator designed, developed, and manufactured in the U.S.

In keeping with our strong tradition of building America, we are excited to announce plans to open two new U.S.-based facilities: a state-of-the-art distribution center near Hebron, Indiana, and a cutting-edge excavator factory in Kernersville, North Carolina, both set to open in the next year.

“Our investment in these new facilities underscores John Deere's dedication to strengthening the backbone of American industry and supporting local economies,” said John May, chairman and chief executive officer of John Deere. “We believe in building America, and these projects represent our intent to continue driving innovation and job creation in the United States.“

Why was production overseas, John? Who moved production overseas in the first place, John? Tell us!

A 70M factory ain't dick. His admin caused billions in manufacturing expansion to get canceled and manufacturing jobs have been doing nothing but go down since he got back. That's what tariffing inputs like a moron does.

Nevermind the long term damage of people looking towards non-American brands in the future.

Fundamentally unserious people who don't understand a lick about human psychology and that buyers also have agency. If a company/country jerked me around, there is a good chance I'll never send them another dime, and make sure all my friends and family also know about my negative experience. Even if they right the ship in the future, the damage is already done.

If I was a Trump cult follower, I don’t know if I would be insulted or fearful? Weird way to grift but I guess they think it’s funny? I don’t know.

First off, Obviously there is about a 0% chance Trump is writing his own fundraising emails. It seems he just hired the guy who used to work for Peter Popoff or Jim, Tammy Fae Bakker.

Obviously, it’s just his grifting team. But they have to make sure it sounds like he’s talking directly to, in this case, "Brian". And I’m sure there are a lot of them who actually believe it when “he” says that he doesn’t see their name on his super-duper uber "patriot" list and why is that, Brian?

They aren’t very bright.

Rice farmers in the Mississippi delta are feeling the effects of Trumps disastrous trade policies.


At a recent Mississippi Farm Bureau meeting, producers even discussed asking the federal government to pay them to destroy stored rice, echoing surplus programs from the 1980s farm crisis, the New York Times reports. At his farm, Westerfield asked, “What am I supposed to do with 2.2 million pounds of rice?”

Elections have consequences, Duh!

While no one mentions voting for Trump in this article, we know who these farmers tend to vote for. I love the quote “We’re not handout-takers”. Lol Farmers are the 21st century ultimate handout-takers!


It’s not welfare if I get it. I deserve it. Unlike "Those People".

Reminds me of when Craig T Nelson said that he was successful and nobody helped him out to get that way. As an example of just how far in poverty his family was he mentioned they were on food stamps, with no apparent realization of what that meant.

Just a reminder that intentionally devaluing fiat currency to prop up precious metals and crypto is a long term goal of the mush brained thinkers at ZeroHedge.

This would be good for exports…if it wasn’t for all those retaliatory tariffs. Generally won’t help with inflation and our import-driven economy though.

FBI raids Georgia election office in probe related to 2020 "voter fraud"


Hey, those 11,780 votes ain’t gonna find themselves!

Oh boy ... What shenanigans are they planning here for these upcoming elections?

This will definitely help to bring prices down :rolleyes: Another distraction from you know what.

Elect a clown, expect a circus!

Tim Cook is being roasted for attending a white house viewing. Though I feel Tim Cook actually hates Trump and his own life right now, as he tries to stay on the Mad Kings good side. Unfortunately all appeasement does, is make you the target for more appeasement.

It's great to see Europe pull away from the fascist supporting US Tech companies. Not sure why it took them so long but this is lovely to watch in action. I hope these tech companies lose so much in revenue over the next 5 years as this gets more and more going. FUCK THEM ALL :)
