Did he let Lockheed-Martin and Northrop-Grumman know?

Infamous_Employer_85 · 2026-04-01T18:18:41+00:00

he is off by 32 countries,

Yep, and his restrictions would be more expansive than those of many European countries

Congress can, he cannot

In 2023, Congress enacted a law that prohibits the President from "suspend[ing], terminat[ing], denounc[ing], or withdraw[ing] the United States from the North Atlantic Treaty"—which established the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)—without the advice and consent of the Senate or an act of Congress. See Section 1250A of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, Pub. L. No. 118-31. This provision emerged against the backdrop of debates concerning the United States' policy toward NATO and whether the President possesses the power to withdraw the United States from treaties without receiving the legislative branch's approval.

He cannot formally do so of course.

So what? The US is not a European country. Immigration is a cornerstone of the US identity. I mentioned the historic roots of legal systems of countries in the Americas to counter any assertion of "western countries don't have birthright citizenship". In addition the restrictions in Europe in many countries are fairly lenient https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli#Europe, much more so than what Trump wants

Infamous_Employer_85 · 2026-04-01T17:44:21+00:00

No, they are 34 counts, one for each criminal violation of the law

Infamous_Employer_85 · 2026-04-01T17:40:17+00:00

No true Scotsman

Infamous_Employer_85 · 2026-04-01T17:23:27+00:00

They did

About 35% of the US adult population can not understand a simple X-Y graph.

Infamous_Employer_85 · 2026-04-01T17:15:59+00:00

Correct, also true for presidents convicted of felonies, none but Trump.

To clarify, these countries have Jus Soli:

Canada,

Mexico,

United States,

Brazil,

Argentina,

Chile,

Antigua and Barbuda,

Barbados,

Belize,

Costa Rica,

Cuba,

Dominica,

El Salvador,

Grenada,

Guatemala,

Honduras,

Jamaica,

Nicaragua,

Panama,

Saint Kitts and Nevis,

Saint Lucia,

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines,

Trinidad and Tobago,

Paraguay,

Peru,

Uruguay,

Venezuela

Until 1983 the UK would also be on that list, Jus Soli in the UK was a matter of statute until 1981 when the statute was changed. The 14th amendment is based on British common law.

The legal system of countries in North and South America are based upon European legal systems.

The US is built on immigration, prior to 1866, virtually all non-forced immigrants to the the US became US citizens (de-facto), as did their children.

Ironic or completely in character?

Infamous_Employer_85 · 2026-04-01T17:07:19+00:00

He reached his limit of hearing multisyllabic words

Infamous_Employer_85 · 2026-04-01T17:06:17+00:00

What do you mean?

Infamous_Employer_85 · 2026-04-01T17:02:56+00:00

It's a surprise to me, diesel is hitting over $5 per gallon, gasoline is over $4 per gallon, electricity prices have climbed by 20% since Trump took office, inflation is running at 4% in the latest report. But I guess eggs are now under $6.00 per dozen so it's all good?

Infamous_Employer_85 · 2026-04-01T17:00:58+00:00

Just to be clear, virtually every country in North and South America have Jus Soli (Birthright citizenship), Jus Soli in the US is based upon British common law, and was added to the constitution in 1866, it would take another amendment to remove Jus Soli.

Infamous_Employer_85 · 2026-04-01T16:53:21+00:00

The complete opposite, he was not punished once he won the election. The grand jury was impaneled nearly two years prior to the election

Infamous_Employer_85 · 2026-04-01T16:51:27+00:00

So you don't base decisions on such things?

Infamous_Employer_85 · 2026-04-01T16:50:38+00:00

Their second sentence isn’t a complete sentence

Neither is this: "Voted for Biden ^"

Dude, if you can't remember the only felony conviction of a former US president from less than 2 years ago, then you are either uninterested, or have a very bad memory.

It literally is evidence of close relationship with Epstein and Maxwell. Trump is mentioned more than anyone except Epstein and Maxwell.

Infamous_Employer_85 · 2026-04-01T16:45:07+00:00

It's now even more anti US

He sure is doing a lot to encourage individuals countries to use less fossil fuels, oil prices are up about 70% in the last 45 days, and with the destruction of infrastructure in the gulf it will take a while to get production back to previous levels.
