Day 1 of Trump's Presidency... and all the days that follow

[bojancan]

I changed the video for this thread... it's much more interesting..

David Pakman is having intellectual and progressive topics on his channel... I was listening him for years..
I know, that in the circle around this administration when the conferences are happening... only loyal partisan reporters are welcome to attend..
Where is free speech.??


Trump's Dept of Defense BLOCKED MY SHOW

in pounds: 0,03 pounds of fentanil have been caught crossing the Canadian border since early December 24, is Trump kidding, imposing 25% tarif for 0,03 pounds!!! Putin oops Trump could just stop lying. What he wants is to be the king of predators, taking everything for his gang of oligarch Silicon Valley babboons rubbing the regular folks in the US and in the rest of the planet.

And many completely brain washed Avalonians, incapable of changing their ingrained opinions despite blatant proofs, naming themselves awake, wow, I pity humanity.

So lets Putin get Ukraine, Putin share Northern Canada with Trump (yes Trump proposed it to Putin), and have US soldiers and money from Ukraine be diverted to Israel to ethnically kill all Palestinians while ordinary US folks shut their eyes and end up suffering as well in a diminushed war economy thanks to tarifs and war with their past best partner.

You are letting a dictature installed itself worst than the previous dirt, the rest of the world sees it. The only blinds are the Americans.

War, and not just economic one, is coming.

I never thought i would be sooooo disappointed by what is happening. I have a conservative bend to start with but yet, I cannot avert seeing what is going on.

And Ernie, who has emigrated to the deemed socialist Canada who now despised the help he received and behave as a traitor ready to give the country that helped him, as Musk is doing as well - it is Canadian welfare that allowed Musk’s mother to raise his siblings and Canada that help Musk going out of South Africa by giving him foid and lodgment - a traitor as well helping destroy a country he is a citizen of.

No forgiveness allowed here.

US will be destroyed as well, all under the blinding excuses of cleaning the swamp, petty discussions while people lives are literally destroyed on all sides.

War, and not just economic one, is coming.

The U.S. is already at war with China--as in, a clandestine, covert war where the enemy engages in business and diplomacy, with a duplicitous smile, while it secretly aims to destroy, destabilize, and conquer from the shadows.

Put in a more concrete way: China is deliberately flooding the U.S. with fentanyl via Mexico and Canada. This is not an accident. They are explicitly deploying a weapon against North America, and specifically against the population of United States. This fact cannot be understated, IMO.

It is true the majority of fentanyl comes into the United States via the Southern Border, but let's put this in perspective. 50 lbs of fentanyl were nonetheless seized in 2024 at the Canadian border, which is still potentially 11 million lethal doses coming in from the North.. That's just the quantity seized. Who knows how much is getting through? The point is, that number is hardly insignificant, and is only rendered to a convenient statistic by CNN et. al when compared to the fentanyl China is shipping in through Mexico.

The primary culprit/mastermind here is China. The deep-state globalist governments of Mexico and Canada (and United States) are facilitators, enablers, and foot soldiers of the mastermind, either wittingly or unwittingly. So if the agenda is to stop the flow of fentanyl from China--and that appears to be what these tariffs are about--I see policies (unpopular and seemingly unfair though they may be) aimed at checking the facilitators, enablers, and foot soldiers. Also, what good is plugging one hole if you don't plug all the holes--even the smaller ones? Just as with water leaking through a number of cracks in the hull of a boat, when you plug the biggest crack, more water pressure mounts at the smaller cracks. The only way to keep the boat from sinking is to plug all the holes.

So long as Canada maintains lax policies and regulations in regard to chemicals and fentanyl production imported from China (which I believe is the major impetus behind the imposed tariffs) building a fortress and closing the door on the Mexican border will do little good as long as the draft through the back door remains.

I don't want to see these tariffs happen, and yes, they are going to cause hardship and negatively affect innocent lives. And you are absolutely correct the majority of this problem flows from the South so it appears Trump is unfairly targeting Canada. But more to the topic of this thread, why are we not directing as much or more of the blame of this standoff on Trudeau's government for failing to plug its domestic fentanyl problem and production problem coming from China? I ask this sincerely, as it doesn't appear to me, in my limited understanding of the situation, that the government of Canada is doing its part--as an ally, or supposed ally of the United States--to stop the inflow of fentanyl to its own country, and by default, from spilling down into the United States.

In short, I think these tariffs would end immediately if Trudeau (or whoever his handlers are) were serious about erradicating Canada's own fentanyl problem.

These Tariffs will absolutely increase inflation. I'm already getting notices of price increases like this one below from several suppliers to my business.
I will have to pass these price increases off to my clients which causes them to have to pay more for my product.

Dear Valued Customer,

President Trump has recently implemented two additional tariff taxes on products entering the country. US businesses bear the costs of these tariffs. The tariffs are as follows:

An additional 10% tariff tax on goods from China, effective February 1, 2025.
An additional 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports from any country, effective March 12, 2025.
In addition, as we write this note, the administration is considering additional tariffs. If those are implemented, we will incorporate their impact into our reaction.

These tariffs will affect many of the products you purchase from us and your other suppliers. Impacted categories include functional hardware, decorative hardware, organizers, sinks, lighting, and power solutions.

I'm guessing they will be short lived. The question is, what side caves first and what concessions are made? It feels like a game of chicken to me.

There is NO fentanil from Canada (read my post)?and droplets of immigrants. You are drinking the lies and war cool aid. I cannot be louder here. NO ****zING FENTANIL. It is s lie.

Only predation from Trump-Putin.

Gosh when one does not want to change and still want to believe lies, imagine the rest of you. You lost your best allies. Forgive the Germans of last WW. They did what you are doing. Not saying that the left is better, just saying that Trump is a real predator.

When i read this i wondered ;How will we ever have a peaceful world with that attitude?

How on earth can anyone feel entitled to make such a heartless condemnation and decide who or what is not allowed to be forgiven?

Please lets have some patience with eachother,nobody is perfect and we are all a work in progress.

Do you know about the misuse of empathy by psychopaths? On one hand they imitated empathy, which they do not have, to make us cry and hesitate in front of their cruel but subdued behavior, and in the other hand they exploit our empathy to their end.

They are expert at it.

Our empathy is killing us - faced with predators.

This has to stop. Good people have to learn to say and act NO to predators. A very firm NO we will not submit to anything from predators.

FEAR - OBlIGATION - GUILT, FOG this is predator’s method.

SAY NO. No fear, no obligation towards them or imposed by them, no guilt pushed on us for not obeying or supplying them anything.

I did say no and you all can.

I would argue that what Trump is doing has a lot more to do with the leaders of all these countries rather than what most people are complaining about, such as tariffs etc.

Canada and Mexico is only a small part of the dynamics in my opinion. Look what's happening to all the EU countries right now and look at their countries leaders.

They are all failed leaders when it comes to their common sense for doing what's best for their people's safety and security. The EU countries are all on the verge of economic and cultural collapse.

Vance just went over there and made speeches telling them all this and they all either laughed at him or got pissed off at him.

Trump is exposing all these failed leaders to their populations, Trump is in the process of dismantling the globalist cartel running these failing nations before these psychopaths completely destroy what's left of their countries.

Trump is choking off their money flow gravy train and now he's putting all these leaders in a position to either change or be run out of powerful positions and replaced by their own people.

I'm just speculating of course but in a way this is how I see things to a large degree.

If there is a dispute about the quantity of fentanyl seized at the Canadian border, I'm not aware of it.

As far as I know, the official quantity seized at the border in 2024, depending on the source, was anywhere between 43 - 50 pounds. (I've seen both estimates from official statistics). The former quantity was published by the U.S. Customs and Borders Protections--and reported by multiple sources--and have nothing to do with Trump or his rhetoric. But if you believe these statistics are inaccurate, or false, or some kind of agenda-laden propaganda, please elaborate. I'm interested to learn.

In sum, I'm inclined to trust the fact that fentanyl coming from Canada via China is not only a talking point from Trump, but also a reality. I'm not saying this reality is anything near the crisis the United States is seeing at its Southern border; I'm just saying it's a reality. In other words, it's not a lie. If anything, the facts underlining this reality have been confirmed by numerous leftist sources and tend to emphasize (or attempt to emphasize) just how minuscule the problem is relative to the amounts that come in through Mexico.

My point is--the "official" amount seized from the Canadian border is still enough to kill up to 11 million people.

The second point is, Canada appears to have a serious Fentanyl problem of its own. Are we really just content to turn a blind eye to this and pretend it's all lies?

The way I'm seeing it, not everything is always about Trump (or Putin).

I also won't be surprised at all if Trump announces at the speech to Congress that he's pulling out of NATO. This will likely collapse NATO and make it obsolete.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Trump doesn't already have a peace deal drafted out with Russia and Russia may be actually ready to disengage with Ukraine once this mess with Zelensky is straightened out. Zelensky likely won't even be in power in a week or so.

It's quite obvious the EU doesn't have any common sense as what to do about all of this, let alone the capability to really do anything lasting.

Big things are happening and Trump doesn't seem to be slowing down.

".......The following video provides background details to the meeting followed by an analysis of the body language of both Zelensky and Trump. This is both interesting and very revealing as it exposes Zelensky and completely vindicates Trump. It should serve as an eye opener to all sleep walkers and anyone who has doubts about the meeting at the White house.
The public are being played like a violin into accepting the possibility of a world war situation by the satanic deep state, using their puppeteer Zelensky in order to maintain control and stop the landslide of their demise into the abyss. The fire is raging, the temperature is about to escalate and they cannot stop it..."

This video is a good breakdown of the whole Zelensky/Trump meeting.

It's so obvious to those without TDS and extreme hatred towards Trump that Zelensky derailed this whole event.

The unmasking of that demonic weasel was surreal. The whole world seen it!

And guess what.....its was predicted months ago that the economic unraveling will begin in Europe and China first. America and others of course soon after with the domino effect. Now looking like that makes some sense. Don't think a specific timeframe was given but I assume this year.

Also, has been predicted months ago that Russia will piss off China with some kind of 'backstab.' Making a lot more sense now if the US and Russia start making deals to peel Russia away from China.

Obviously there's a lot of fair criticisms to make against Trump. He can't go against every corruption, scam and evil all at once. but none of his harsh critics in this forum have given an alternative.

As if this massive shake up isn't better than the insane path the establishment was heading towards - wokism, insane logic, endless immigration and flooding the west with illegals and serial killer gangsters (not thugs) while refusing to enforce laws, insane woke judges, severe censorship and gaslighting, extreme wasteful fraud and accelerating spending, attacking the children , chemical and biological warfare on its own people, Warmongering, on and on. Literally everything was to cause more problems and chaos.
I didn't see a third option. So, Trump haters could please explain how Trump was not the better option for the short term. Even if its a trap, we still must take all the positive changes and the huge shake up as an opportunity for exposure and the people rising up to stop the malevolent secret society members.

So, anyone bashing Trump every chance they get and never admitting the positives or weighing it against the alternative (Dont know how any third alternative was possible ) can't be taken seriously in this debate.

Who is exposing more and waking up more people. Trump or his opponent team?

Lastly, whoever blamed the war all on USA and should pay reparations. Its a worldwide secret society faction. One could argue its more European bankers/vatican/Israel that are higher ranking and dictating USA policy. For all we know , its reptilians or aliens controlling these secret societies and possibly incarnating into human bodies and remembering who they beyond this realm. lol

Does Trump Need Congressional Approval to Pull Out of NATO?
Yes, Under Current Federal Law: As of March 2025, federal law requires congressional approval for the president to withdraw the United States from NATO. In 2023, Congress passed a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024, signed into law by President Joe Biden on December 22, 2023, that explicitly states, “The President shall not suspend, terminate, denounce, or withdraw the United States from the North Atlantic Treaty… except by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, provided that two-thirds of the Senators present concur, or pursuant to an Act of Congress.” This means Trump would need either a two-thirds Senate supermajority or a majority vote from both chambers of Congress to withdraw from NATO, per the law

Apparently, they could challenge this law as being unconstitutional, but there is no precedence.

They already planned to block him from doing this. lol To give them the option of creating a false flag on europe and force USA to defend NATO ?

The law, co-sponsored by Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), was designed to prevent unilateral presidential withdrawal, particularly in response to Trump’s past criticisms and threats to exit NATO during his first term (2017–2021) and 2024 campaign.

WTH? Marco Rubio sponsored this. hmmm

Yea, don't think it will slow down , especially since he wants to get as much done as he can in case he doesn't survive. Trump doing a rapid fire, one thing after another was also predicted some months ago. lol

There are so many things going on with the Canada/USA relationship that need to be addressed that you can take your pick

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), 85% of all suspected terrorists encountered at land border ports of entry have crossed into the United States along the Northern border with Canada

The USA is running a trade deficit with Canada, depending on the records you're checking and who you listen to, if runs from $45 Billion to $150 Billion

In 2023, only 2 lbs of fentanyl was seized coming into the USA from Canada; in 2024, that number jumped to 45 lbs. It does appear that the drug traffickers are establishing new routes across the northern border.

Because Biden restricted (by permits) drilling for oil and natural gas, Canada has become the largest producer of natural gas and crude oil to the USA. I think that the fact that the USA is getting so much energy from Canada is a difficult thing for Trump to accept

It has been my observation that Trump does not usually hold a grudge. Typically, he calls people out and bitterly complains about them, but rarely does he extract revenge. I don't think that is the case with Trudeau. As world leaders go, he has been one of the nastiest, cruel and dishonest people on the planet. I think a bit of the 51st state nonsense is directed at Trudeau, mostly to put his job in jeopardy. Trudeau preaches capitalism but has demonstrated that he is a socialist. Trudeau has been a Trump hater from day one and he is now paying a price for his actions and his words.

Even the current ambassador from Canada to the USA is an absolute Trump hater and is on record saying things that simply are not true.

The list goes on but I think I can see where Trump is coming from:

Just the announcement alone may be enough to get these psychopaths to go along with this Russian peace deal no matter how they feel about it.

I fully expect another attempt to take Trump out. Especially after his speech to Congress. The attack will likely come from within, from someone who already has clearance to be in the Whitehouse/Congress/Senate. I suspect (and hope) Trump and his team are already aware of this plot and will thwart and expose it for all the world to see.

Vance just went over there and made speeches telling them all this and they all either laughed at him or got pissed off at him.

Trump is exposing all these failed leaders to their populations, Trump is in the process of dismantling the globalist cartel running these failing nations before these psychopaths completely destroy what's left of their countries.

.

What's going on right now isn't even geopolitics because there are no legitimate governments to do geopolitics with. First things first. That's to out the imposters who were not voted into the positions they complain and shout from. They're pirates in a panic.

The gap opening up between Trump's America and the Euro group is a preamble to dropping the evidence that they're illegitimate with not a leg to stand on. Trump probably wants them to be pissed off and noisy and all the other fake indignancies because it sets a more perfect stage for the next move up his sleeve, the actual evidence.

I even wonder if his teasing and blag talk about making Canada another state of America is aimed at king Charlie sitting at home in his 4 bed Windsor cottage sweating cobs wondering if he's heading for gitmo too. "maybe we can do a deal" Charlie sent postman Kier over last week with a crumpled letter. You never know.

Seriously tho', all those people who wilfully pulled the trigger on the monetized injection cull and blatant murderous forced re engineering of the world with fire and hurricane and regimental slaughter have a hell of a lot more than organised worldwide election fraud to answer for. That's only how they got their ducks in a row.

In nearly every post in this thread, one Avalon member trashes many others (says 'brainwashed' or worse), decries the decline in quality of this forum, etc., because we in the US chose a nationalist leader focusing on trying to achieve Peace abroad and save our country, rather than a vacuous empty-headed female puppet with globalist/communists/ deep-state backing as our leader going forward?

You are entitled to your views of course, but I don't see how given choices we in the US were provided, we could have chosen any better.

To argue otherwise seems to me that you ignore or were unaware of the depths of decline that we in the US were experiencing via corrupt DemoRat and Uniparty leadership.

At least we don't now have to worry about lockdowns, Fema camps, poisonous vax mandates, censorship of our speech, and seizing of our bank accounts for protesting.

We in the US are now more free than we were and have a better chance of our country exposing corruption and not collapsing in debt - and to see things this way is not being brainwashed, in my humble opinion.

Rather it's seeing things quite clearly - and the revelations to come will make this even more obvious - deal with it, and stop with the insults to our intelligence/reality-awareness.

You know, even though Trump has a Republican congress and senate - the threat of leaving NATO might be enough to send the Continent into a tizzy. But I do not think that is going to happen and would be pleasantly surprised if it does. This pressure on Europe to be less dependent on America is ideal - I mean for allies and friends, they sure seem to bad-mouth America early and often.

The Continent is not your late 194o's era Continent and America is sort of leaning into a pre-world war era of semi-neutrality. Which I have been thinking about for the past decades that America should return to this more isolated entity as opposed to less. It is not necessarily exclusive to America first mentality. It is more of the calculated risk assessment mentality. The world and its idiosyncrasies are certainly high risk endeavors and the cost is ridiculous- financially and otherwise.

I mean, you might think that self-sufficiency in areas to include defense would be an element of liberty or freedom that democracies would want to enjoy; not this continual dependence on perceived powerful entities. This very liberty of America is indeed at stake.

If America leaves NATO (early or first) it won't have a veto to keep Ukraine out of it. It may not matter tho' because NATO is unlikely to survive the big reveals coming up.
