No, it’s about the Monroe Doctrine.

Then you have a nasty guerilla war or a mass execution by the Russians. Which means we will probably have troops in places like Lithuania and Estonia to discourage Baldo Stalin from taking them over.

The only problem I have with Trump is the visas.

Elon is one of the main reasons Trump is in office. He spent 300 million on the campaign AND brought in a lot people. His work in DOGE was terrifying DC until Trump listened to Soros homosexual Bissent and stopped Elon from going after the FED and Fort Knox.

I cannot think of anyone who paid a heavier price to get Trump into office except Charlie Kirk. Elon lost 300 million and his business suffered a massive hit for helping Trump.
He simply didn’t care.... then Trump flipped him the finger.

President of the World, never considered that...Maybe that is why he is being invited to the NWO summit in Davos in 2026...Maybe they will bestow the title on him? In this day and time anything is possible...

Nothing can happen to change taxes until 2026. Trump got into office 2025

If this doesn’t happen next year that’s different

Trump always acts according to the law and the constitution

He’s not interested in president of the world

The former presidents of the world the kings who won’t go away. Their wives won’t go away- they left messes all around the world.

It is the standard trick used against Republican presidents.

It was used against bush and now it will be used against Trump.

Within five years we will all have to hate Trump to prove we are actually conservatives

His agenda is globalist. Now, President Trump DOES deserve criticism for that insane Chinise Students plan. Vance is right. We need a moritorium for a while.

"Deduction for Seniors[:]

New deduction: Effective for 2025 through 2028, individuals who are age 65 and older may claim an additional deduction of $6,000. This new deduction is in addition to the current additional standard deduction for seniors under existing law.

The $6,000 senior deduction is per eligible individual (i.e., $12,000 total for a married couple where both spouses qualify).

Deduction phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 ($150,000 for joint filers)."

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/one-big-beautiful-bill-act-tax-deductions-for-working-americans-and-seniors

This is the "No Tax on SS".

[Apparently for the 2025 Tax Year]

The Monroe Doctrine? So.... as I said, keeping China/Iran/Russia out of our Hemisphere?

BTW, the Monroe Doctrine also says we won’t do things like cause trouble in Eastern Ukraine, install ISIS in Syria, or develop Gaza into a Tech Center/Beach resort.

“President of the world...”

*************

He openly brags about his role in ending wars around the world. The problem is, there’s no end to the global and conflicts and disputes; its a never ending thing that we’re not responsible for.

I want him to focus on our obscene national debt, downsizing the bloated bureaucracy, modernizing our own dilapidated infrastructure, and growing the economy. There’s plenty that needs attention right here is our own country. America First.

"I hope we don’t invade venzuala but I kind of doubt it’s going to happen."

President Trump isn't into invading countries. The only ones who would get us into a war down there is the CIA, by undermining the President. It wouldn't be the first time they've done that, and then lie to the President about it. They've been doing that stuff since the CIA was created after WWII.

Agreed. I would like to keep out the Yellow Peril...and Moslems.

That is the familiar pattern for US presidents. When they get hung-up on what to do domestically or when Congress doesn’t support them, they look overseas for problems to solve: Wilson, FDR, LBJ, GWB. Maybe Clinton, Reagan and Obama. I hope Trump has the character to resist the temptation.

1. Thr Roosevelt Coolary. 2. Ukraine is paying us for weapons, we are letting them fight it out. 2. I suspect in Syria was under Biden. 3. The Gaza thing is not going to happen. It is President Trump’s Bulder mentality getting the best of him.

That’s a very low bar for people in various parts of the country. Many seniors that live in high cost of living states and/or have worked hard to ensure a comfortable retirement will easily exceed that threshold.
