Trump har forresten også satt igang arbeidet med å male muren mot Mexico.
Tanken er at metallet blir så varmt at det er umulig å ta på, dermed umulig å klatre over.
Så klart maler de bare USA-siden.
Er det i det hele tatt noen som klatrer over uten f.eks stige eller andre hjelpemidler?
Jeg vil anta de fleste kommer over når det ikke er så mye sol, enklere å gjemme seg i mørket.
Hansker?

Mannen er jo stark raving mad. Og det blir bare verre og verre. Nå vil han ha 600 000 kinesiske studenter på amerikanske universitet, fordi han er bekymret for deres økonomi. Han, som vil ta fra dem all økonomisk støtte om de ikke gjør nøyaktig som han vil, og har gjort det mye vanskeligere å få student-visum. Så han vil vel heller fylle opp universitetene med kommunist-spirer enn med en eneste Israel-motsander.

sier sitt om det forkvaklede synet enkelte republikanere har på "the Dems/the libs" og hvor grundig de leter etter den minste flis i sine motstanderes øyne samt hvor blinde de er for bjelkene i sine egne.

Bare dårlige nyheter fra USA hvor det er sett tegn på at selv Trumplojale ikke-MAGA republikanere og endog lojale MAGA er blitt svært dypt bekymret, mens det kom erklæringer på flere hold i det skjulte om at republikanerpartiet vil bli holdt ansvarlig for enhver Trump gjør.

Det varieres meget sterkt avhengig av hvilken rekkefølge spørsmålene hadde, og hvordan å regne sammen resultatene. Men det er en sammenhengende tendens i alle meningsmålingene; en mer og mer aggressiv og herdede front av hardlinje republikanerne har oppstått, som etter hvert ikke vil akseptere "de andre". Og samtidig ser man en voksende avvisning av det republikanerne og Trump står for hos både demokratene og de selvstendige, som snart utgjør to tredjedeler av folket. 

Det blir verre og verre.

Situasjonen omkring Venezuela har tilspisset seg, mange mener nå å se en likhet mellom Panama 1989 og Venezuela i dag, den gang var den beryktede diktatoren Noriega ettersøkt - akkurat som Maduro, som reagert på at det er utsendt arrestordre på ham (til forskjell direkte fra det hvite huset fremfor en selvstendig domstol) med bonus på 50 mill. dollar (500 mill. norske kroner) for den som bringe ham inn.

Det foregår en styrkeoppbygging i Florida og Puerto Rico med utplassering av flyenheter deriblant 3 P-8 Poseidon fly som med ekstrautstyr har fått samme funksjon som Joint STARS - strategisk rekognosering og kommunikasjon flyplattform for korrigering av utkalte stridsenheter i møte med fiendtlige forberedelser. Disse P-8 flyene basert på B 737 har fått radarutstyr montert på undersiden, sammen med kommunikasjonsutstyr som gjør at de kan fungere helt presist som disse E-8 flyene som var retirert i 2023. Kampfly deriblant bombefly og spesialtransportfly er sagt å ha blitt observert i flybasene i Florida, mens det foregår omfattende utbedring på flybasen i Puerto Rico, som hadde tidlig fungert som kystvaktbase for kystvaktfly og fly for bekjemping av narkosmugling til lufts og til sjøs. 

Tre landingsskip med 4,000 soldater hadde blitt sendt ut sammen med tre destroyere til farvannet nord for Venezuela, men det som forvandlet hele bildet er at en krysser - USS "Lake Erie" og en atomubåt - USS "Newport News" - har sluttet seg til flotiljen, dette er fartøyer som bare er egnet for et oppdrag; et militært angrep på et nasjonalforsvar. Dette fulgt til oppstyr i selve Venezuela, fra Colombia kom det signaler om at man tror et amerikansk angrep for regimeendring kan være underveis. I sosiale medier er det mange meldinger i opposisjonelle kanaler om "forekommende frigjøring". 

Brazil Reportedly Discussed Evacuation Plan With Venezuelan Regime As U.S. Steps Up Pressure With Military Deployment

Det kom fram at Brazil skal ha tatt direkte kontakt med Maduro-regimet, muligens for å finne en diplomatisk løsning fordi Maduro hadde brutt alle avtaler med USA og deretter mistet de andre latinamerikanske regjeringenes støtte - det nylige valget i Bolivia samt voksende krise i Mexico hvor politikere kranglet med knyttnever over anklager om å støtte Trumps planer om å angripe kartellene - gjort det klart at bare Cuba er på Maduros side. I sist instans vil de få regimet evakuert i tilfelle et amerikansk angrep. 

Det er svært tvilsomt om Maduroregimet, som er svært upopulært, kan overleve et amerikansk angrep selv om det er meget gode grunner å spørre om den håpløse og inkompetente opposisjonen er i stand til å overta.

The death of Reaganomics: Trump breaks with longtime GOP economic doctrine

President Donald Trump’s embrace of government ownership of private companies shows that the Reaganomics doctrine that defined Republican economic orthodoxy for decades may be all but dead.

As the 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan advocated free-market principles that delivered an economic boom lasting most of the 1980s. He was a fierce opponent of government intervention in business, arguing that the private sector was more efficient in providing goods and services.

Just in the past week, Trump broke with Reagan three times as he wielded presidential power and sketched a vision of a far more extensive government role in the private sector than the U.S. has customarily tolerated.

The president persuaded Intel to give the government a 10 percent stake in the company, celebrated raising trillions of dollars in government revenue through new taxes on imports, and continued a months-long pressure campaign against the independent Federal Reserve, in contrast with Reagan’s largely hands-off approach.

“Much of what Trump is saying and doing are explicitly rejections of Reaganism,” said Geoffrey Kabaservice, vice president of political studies at the Niskanen Center. “Honestly, Ronald Reagan must be turning in his grave at this, because it just runs so counter to everything that generations of conservatives had believed about capitalism.”

The White House says Trump’s policies are consistent with traditional Republican ideas. The Intel deal, and others like it, are justified on national security grounds and the overall tax burden will be lower than under his predecessors.

“The United States faces historically unprecedented challenges to our national and economic security, and the Trump administration is robustly addressing these challenges head on without being straitjacketed to broken status quo policies such as lopsided ‘free’ trade arrangements that have decimated American manufacturing. The Trump administration is simultaneously advancing the free market policies that have worked — from rapid deregulation to The One Big Beautiful Bill’s working-class tax cuts — to restore America as the most dynamic business environment and economy in the world,” Kush Desai, a White House spokesman, said in a statement.

Reagan, who was once a Democrat, spent decades inveighing against socialism. As Medicare was debated in the early 1960s, he campaigned against “socialized medicine” and habitually warned that an ever-larger government was endangering Americans’ freedoms. Socialism, he said, “works only in heaven, where it isn’t needed, and in hell, where they’ve already got it.”

Reagan sought to free business from constraints imposed by politicians or bureaucrats. Trump has made the Oval Office the cockpit of U.S. economic decision-making with corporate CEOs such as Apple’s Tim Cook showing up to announce new U.S. investments in hopes of winning tariff or regulatory concessions.

The list of Trump’s departures from the Reagan free-market catechism is growing. Intel, which converted a previous government grant into an equity stake, is the third company that the government has invested in on Trump’s watch, something that would have been anathema to Reagan, said Kabaservice, author of “Rule and Ruin,” a history of the modern Republican Party.

In July, the Defense Department became the largest shareholder in MP Materials, a producer of rare earth materials and magnets. One month earlier, Trump took a “golden share” in U.S. Steel as part of its acquisition by Japan’s Nippon Steel, which gave him personal control over the American company’s ability to change its name, move its headquarters or alter its investment plans.

That may not be the end of Trump’s buying spree. On Tuesday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC that the government is considering stakes in defense companies such as Lockheed Martin, saying Washington’s traditional arrangement with the nation’s weapons makers has been “a giveaway.”

The administration may also opt to invest in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, cybersecurity, telecommunications and financial services companies, Brian Gardner, chief Washington policy strategist for Stifel, wrote in a note to clients.

“I want to try and get as much as I can,” Trump told reporters on Monday, adding, “I hope I’m going to have many more cases like [Intel].”

Trump’s recent moves have drawn praise from independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a self-described socialist, and criticism from traditional conservatives.

Government ownership of private companies has been rare in the United States, occurring only during wartime or financial crisis. The most recent examples were in 2008-2009, when the government took partial control of several banks and automakers.

“I am appalled,” said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a veteran Republican economist and now president of the American Action Forum. “I worry about what this will mean for the future of the U.S. economy.”

Blurring the line between business and government could be bad for both, critics said. As an owner, the government will be reluctant to let companies fail, which would represent an embarrassing political setback. So government officials may be inclined to take action to keep an otherwise doomed company alive.

Executives at Intel, and other companies with Washington as their partner, will devote time to cultivating good relations with the president that might better be spent innovating and dealing with customers. These companies may also delay making necessary financial moves such as layoffs for fear of blowback from the White House.

Trump has leaned on private businesses to act in line with his desires. He threatened to block a new football stadium in D.C., unless the Washington Commanders of the National Football League revert to their former name, a dictionary-defined slur against Native Americans. This week, he publicly urged Cracker Barrel, a restaurant chain, to restore its traditional logo after his supporters criticized an updated design.

This month, Nvidia and AMD agreed to pay the federal government 15 percent of their revenue from selling specific computer chips to Chinese customers in return for government export permission. The Commerce Department in April had blocked the sales on national security grounds.

Trump’s assertive approach reminds some analysts of that of China, where state-owned firms account for nearly half of the total market value of the country’s 100 largest publicly traded companies, according to the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

But Trump is not charting a new economic doctrine so much as engaging in “an opportunistic shakedown of corporations,” according to Michael Strain, an economist with the American Enterprise Institute, a right-of-center think tank.

“It’s just another example of arbitrary uses of power in a way that’s not really tethered to the spirit of our Constitution or laws,” he said.

Trump’s departure from Reaganism extends beyond issues of state ownership to taxes and relations with the nation’s central bank.

Earlier this month, the president on social media hailed a Congressional Budget Office analysis that concluded that “Trump’s Tariffs reduce the deficit by $4 Trillion Dollars.” Trump has lifted tariffs to their highest levels since the 1930s, which will mean an additional $3.3 trillion in government revenue over the next decade, plus interest savings from lower borrowing needs, the budget scorekeepers concluded.

To the president, the CBO report was proof of “how incredible my Tariff strategy has been.” Trump insists wrongly that foreign countries pay the tariffs. But it is actually American importers that pay those fees, meaning the president was effectively celebrating a tax hike.

Trump’s attempt this week to fire Lisa Cook, a Fed governor, over allegations of mortgage fraud, intensified his pressure campaign against the Fed. The president has repeatedly criticized Fed Chair Jerome H. Powell, saying he is keeping interest rates too high even as inflation has declined.

Trump in July said the Fed should cut short-term interest rates by at least three points, which would drop borrowing costs to near 1 percent, a level most economists say would reignite inflation.

Trump’s public attacks on the central bank, including hammering Powell for what he characterized as excessive spending on a Fed building renovation, are a sharp contrast to Reagan’s approach during a period when the economy was performing far worse than today.

In 1982, as Fed Chair Paul Volcker’s anti-inflation tight-money policies were driving the unemployment rate to an eventual peak near 11 percent and causing Reagan enormous political problems, the president nonetheless proclaimed “confidence” in the Fed. One year later, Reagan reappointed Volcker to another term as chair.

To be sure, Trump, who once labeled Reagan the best president of his lifetime and borrowed his “Make America Great Again” slogan, has pursued policies that dovetail with traditional Reaganomics. The president’s signature legislation, dubbed the One Big Beautiful Bill, reduced regulations that limited mineral and timber development and cut taxes. A portrait of Reagan hangs on the wall of the Oval Office to Trump’s left, when he is seated at the Resolute Desk.

Some Reagan adherents insist that, despite his economic heresies, Trump is still following a path carved by “the Gipper.” They emphasize the president’s first-term tax cut in 2017, which was made permanent earlier this year, and note that Reagan’s actual performance sometimes deviated from his free-market rhetoric.

“Thinking back on the decades of public policy that I’ve seen, nobody’s a virgin here,” said Jim Pinkerton, who worked on the 1980 Reagan campaign and later served in the White House as a domestic policy aide.

Indeed, after Reagan cut taxes in his first year in the White House, he agreed to reduce budget deficits with what was billed at the time as the largest peacetime tax increase in U.S. history. Far from celebrating the additional government revenue, however, Reagan blamed congressional negotiators for forcing his hand and said he had had to “swallow hard to agree to any revenue increase.”

Reagan spoke often of the dangers of protectionism, which Trump has made a centerpiece of his presidency, saying it “can only lead to fewer jobs” for Americans and their trading partners alike.

Yet Reagan also imposed 100 percent tariffs on Japanese semiconductors in 1987, after accusing Tokyo of violating an agreement to buy more American memory chips. He also hit Japanese motorcycles with 45 percent tariffs and secured Japan’s agreement to voluntarily limit its auto exports to the United States.

Still, trade restrictions were an occasional indulgence for Reagan. For Trump, they are the core of his economic program, which he says will deliver a new “Golden Age.”

“He’s not a socialist; he’s a dealmaker,” Pinkerton said of Trump. “Six months into this second Trump presidency, I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and be confident that he has fully capitalist, free-enterprise intentions.”

The $550B snag: Why Japan just put a massive US trade deal on ice

De stolte japanerne er veldig sint. På sitt høflige språk sier de rett ut at det sitter en galning i det hvite huset, og hadde etter hvert blitt mektig frustrert, ikke minst ved å observere hvordan Trump lot til å behandle dem dårligere enn kineserne. 

A landmark $550 billion trade pact between the United States and Japan has been thrown into chaos, after Tokyo’s top trade negotiator abruptly canceled a high-stakes visit to Washington at the last minute on Thursday.

The shock move derails talks that were meant to finalize the massive investment-for-tariff-relief deal, revealing a deep and unresolved snag that now threatens the entire agreement.

The cancellation is a stunning reversal, coming just as the deal seemed poised for a victory lap.

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had himself declared that an announcement on the Japanese investment was expected this very week. Instead, a diplomatic stalemate has taken hold.

A matter of trust: the standoff over who acts first

The official explanation from Tokyo was couched in careful diplomatic language.

“It was found that there are points that need to be discussed at the administrative level during coordination with the American side. Therefore, the trip has been cancelled,” government spokesperson Yoshimasa Hayashi told reporters.

But beneath the surface, a high-stakes game of chicken is unfolding. At the heart of the dispute is the sequencing of the deal.

Japan has made it clear it wants an amended presidential executive order from Donald Trump to remove punishing, overlapping tariffs before it releases a joint document formalizing the details of its $550 billion investment.

“We are strongly requesting that measures be taken to amend the presidential order concerning mutual tariffs as soon as possible, and to issue a presidential order to reduce tariffs on auto parts,” Hayashi added, a clear and public demand for Washington to make the first move.

This standoff is further complicated by a fundamental disagreement over the deal’s spoils.

While President Trump has touted the package as “our money to invest” and claimed the US would retain 90 percent of the profits, Japanese officials have consistently stressed that any investment will be contingent on whether it also benefits Japan.

The price of delay: an economy already feeling the pain

This diplomatic impasse is not happening in a vacuum; it is unfolding as Japan’s economy is already feeling the acute pain of the existing tariff regime.

The nation’s exports posted their biggest monthly drop in four years in July, a slide driven by a sharp slump in shipments to the United States.

The damage has been so significant that Japan was recently forced to slash its annual growth outlook from 1.2 percent to just 0.7 percent.

The cancellation of the talks prolongs this economic uncertainty.

While a government source familiar with the negotiations suggested that the negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, could head to Washington as early as next week if the issues are resolved, the message from Tokyo is clear.

The ball is now firmly in Washington’s court, and a landmark deal that was once seen as a certainty now hangs precariously in the balance.

Enhver vet at japanerne er et stolt folk som ikke lar seg provoseres straffritt, og de hadde mente seg tvunget til å gå med på en ufordelaktig "avtale" hvor det vist seg at Trump ikke snakker samme språk som dem, i Tokyo hadde politikere, økonomer og eksperter kranglet meget høylytt bak dører mens det bølges med bannord og forbannelser. 

British businesses left reeling after Trump quietly brings in tariffs on hundreds of goods

Og dette fra Storbritannia bare viser hvorfor japanerne er dypt frustrert. Britene har blitt veldig sint fordi de taper på tollsatsene som tvunget deres amerikanske kunder til å redusere ordrene samtidig som det vist seg at Trump ikke var å stole på; Starmer hadde sagt at det ikke vil bli trøbbel omkring ståløkonomien mellom USA og Storbritannia. Det bli trøbbel - så seriøst, at britene som mistet adgangen til EU-markedet, har mye høyere stålproduksjonsutgifter enn både USA og EU. Det sies i en rekke andre artikler at Storbritannia som et direkte resultat av Brexit og nedleggelse av atomkraft er i fare om å avindustrialiseres - det vist seg at de rike foretrakk å flykte fremfor å akseptere større skattebyrde. (det burde sies at Trump vil lokke skatteflyktninger til seg, hele saken med "gullkort" - og samtidig hindre skatteflukt fra USA)

Overalt ser vi tegn på at det vil bli verre.

U.S. shoppers see order cancellations as world shuts down America-bound shipments

Why the end of 'de minimis' can hurt consumers — especially lower-income ones

Amerikanske kunder risikere nå at de vil bli blokkert fra resten av verden på ubestemt tid fordi Trump simpelt ikke gjort hans jobb, opphevingen av de minimis-regelen omkring postfrakt i seg selv ville ikke ha blitt problematisk om det ikke hadde blitt et voldsomt stort rot - istedenfor å ordne tollkontroll på egen hånd hadde man prøvd å dytte den på de utenlandske postselskapene, endog ville få dem til å betale. Dette vil ramme småforretninger over hele verden, og mange amerikanske småforretninger risikere et voldsomt smell. Dette kom som lys ut av det blått fordi ingen hadde forventet seg de enorme komplikasjoner som tvinger et stort antall lands post til å stoppe all utskipning til USA. 

U.S. small-business owners who source orders from abroad are also being affected, said Matthew Hertz, founder of Third Person.co logistics group. Such firms who may have been relying on low-cost shipping of products from countries such as Mexico, Portugal or Turkey now face a new calculation.

“For small businesses that relied on cheaper shipping, the decisions involved with these new changes are really difficult to make,” he said.

Det er ikke hva velgerne ønsker. Spesielt MAGA-velgerne som stort sett består av lavlønnede som benyttet smutthull for å ha dyre vaner uten å ruinere seg selv. "It's a massive change for the U.S. consumer,"

A Federal Appellate Court Finds the NLRB to Be Unconstitutional - The American Prospect

Og ikke bare det; arbeidsunionene risikere å bli utradert fordi oligarkene arbeidet med republikanernes støtte om å ta vekk arbeidsrettighetene knyttet til National Labor Relations Act of 1935 som de rike i tiår etter tiår hadde mislikt meget sterkt. Denne loven var signert med menneskeblod fordi bakgrunnen for denne loven var den blodige streiken i Colorado i 1914, hvor Rockefeller nektet å behandle hans arbeiderne anstendig og ville verken gi dem bedre arbeidsvilkår og bedre lønn, framprovosert en omfattende streik. Denne ble skånselløst slått ned hvor opptil 200 var drept og savnet - spesielt under den famøse Ludlow-massakren da soldater meiet ned flere hundre, av disse var 21 - mange kvinner og barn - drept. Dette utløst ramaskrik, og da Rockefeller innså hva han hadde gjort, prøvd deretter å gjøre det godt. I resten av hans liv arbeidet han for å bedre forholdene for arbeidere, og han hadde spilt en rolle da loven framforhandles og vedtas. 

Men selv i dag finnes det folk som ikke vil respektere arbeidernes rettigheter, og Egon Musk er en av disse. Disse har sin kjerne i republikanerpartiet, som aldri hadde gitt opp sitt håp om å reversere denne viktige loven - de hadde siden Reagan kommet til makten i 1981, systematisk arbeidet med å uthule arbeidsrettighetene ved å ta fordel av rasistiske undertoner som var/er spesielt fremherskende blant "blåstripearbeidere" - som hadde i 2024-valget valgt å støtte Trump. Og som nå risikere å miste alt de hadde fått med NLRA, for denne loven opprettholdte et byrå som skulle hjelpe arbeidere. Dette byrået er NLRB (National Labor Relations Board). Som har blitt erklært å være "ukonstitusjonelt" etter 90 år! 

Louisiana urges Supreme Court to bar use of race in redistricting, in attack on Voting Rights Act

Republikanerne i Louisiana ikke lenge skjulte faktumet om at de er rasister, for de aktet å fjerne alle svarte valgdistrikter gjennom en så massiv gerrymandering at det vil helt utradere alle minoritetsamerikanernes stemmerett, og for å gjennomføre dette bad de dommerne om å se bort fra rasefaktoren, selv om stemmeloven er meget presist om dette. 

“If Louisiana’s argument prevailed at the Supreme Court, it would almost certainly lead to a whiter and less representative Congress, as well as significantly less minority representation across the country in legislatures, city councils, and across other district-based bodies,”

Det er opptil 33 % av befolkningen som kan miste deres rettigheter til å stemme på sine kandidater, ettersom deres stemmer vil være av mindre verdi i sammenligning med de hvite, som utgjør bare 58 %. 

Republicans in Congress open probe into Wikipedia for alleged bias

Og sist, men ikke minst; disse rasistiske antidemokratiske MAGA-republikanerne har begynte å angripe Wikipedia uten å ta hensyn til hvordan den er organisert, sannsynlig fordi de vil stanse åpenheten om belastende innhold selv om det er i meget klar strid med den konstitusjonelle ytringsfriheten, som nesten hele det amerikanske folket støtter.
