Trump

[lsz]

Biden administration Dept of Energy issued $93bn in loans to businesses with little/no paperwork in 76 days between Trump election and inauguration. More than total for previous 15 years combined.

It is not as simple as that (there is some stuff there but it is not a ready made headline like this)

What we know about claims Biden's Department of Energy handed out $93B in loans in its final months

The Biden administration declared the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office "back in business" in 2021.

Nobel peace prize?

Like some of the Nobel Peace prize winners I would think it is worth waiting a little bit of time before claiming mission accomplished

Not if he is intent on an Iranian regime change and as desirable as that may be .
Would just create a middle east powder keg let alone the critical shipping lanes around that region being severely compromised .
Price of. crude oil spiked a bit recently but would go out of control if any instability longer term in that region .
Any long term cease fire would be a good result and he could take some credit if that becomes a reality

Oil price is down and the stock market has bumped up.

Middle East has been a powder keg for decades.

So despite saying he had 90 odd trade deals a month ago, is it only Britton that has made a firm deal?

So much for 4D chess.

Let’s just celebrate one success at a time.

India is going to go up in the economic ranking as time goes on and also in a big way

So the US should just rollover and concede?

Trumpy off to NATO talks. Not before he gave pretty much everyone a spray before he left town. Rarely hear him not happy with Israel, but according to his F-Word rant he is filthy with them and Iran ( seriously though, did anyone think the cease fire would last more than a day?).

He certainly wasn’t sounding too happy. Wouldn’t like to be the head honcho in Iran at the moment. Those B2’s don’t miss. Seemed even less happy with CNN and “MSDNC”. Classic.

Re trump swearing - embarrassing that even this will be seen by some trump supporters as an okay thing to do

I’d say it’s far more important that he got his message across to stop the rockets. Touch wood, it seems to have worked. If it takes a few f bombs to stop the real bombing, I say well done.

You may have missed the news, but 'peacemaker Trump' sent bombers to do real bombing on Iran

You may have missed the bit about destroying the Iran nuclear threat, before he negotiated a cease fire. Sounds like a win/win to me, even allowing for the use of a naughty word. Even CNN must be struggling to find a negative, but I’m sure they are doing their best. Perhaps they favour the Obama approach of cash payments?

I disagree (like we do on most things which is fair!)

I would rather someone a little bit more measured in their responses - and as annoying and pointless it is to say this what would be the reaction if Obama or even Biden did this?

I mean Fox news ran stories for weeks when Obama wore a tan suit...

Yes, we will have to agree to disagree once again. I think it showed his passion and desire for peace, and his frustration at both sides for putting it all at risk again. If he dropped the f word regularly that would be different, but it is the first time I have ever heard him use it. As for comparisons with Biden, well let me just say how refreshing it is to have a President who is on top of things.

It's never about the other parties, it's always about Trump and his ego.

He brokered a deal. He is the man.

Deal breakers make him look bad.

It must be difficult having to find a negative slant on a peace deal that potentially saves hundreds or even thousands of lives. I admire your commitment though.
