Oh yes, we're all definitely looking forward to seeing the revised list that will magically and coincidentally be full of nothing but Trump's enemies

When pressed on whether action would be taken, Bondi dismissed any skepticism. “Donald Trump doesn’t make empty promises,” she stated.

Ah yes. I remember when Mexico paid for a wall.

And when he declared that COVID would be over quickly, then over a million Americans died.

I also remember egg prices going up. Thank God they're so cheap now. Oh and that war in Ukraine that ended a month ago?

In all fairness to the Trump campaign, it sounds like his own party blocked him:

With Donald Trump’s return to office, discussions on a potential remittance tax are gaining renewed attention. Initially proposed to fund a border wall, this policy could have lasting impacts on financial services, particularly cross-border payments. Historically, Trump’s earlier attempts at implementing a remittance tax faced significant resistance from within his own party. However, with a new team in place, supportive of bold policy shifts, the landscape has changed, making it likely that taxation on cross-border remittances could be implemented.

In Trump’s original proposal, Mexico was asked to make a one-time payment of $5–10bn or, alternatively, face a 2% tax on all person-to-person wire transfers to Mexico, along with other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. With fewer obstacles now, this tax appears increasingly feasible. According to GlobalData’s Remittance Analytics, the US received $7.2bn in inward remittances in 2023, projected to reach $7.5bn by 2028. Mexico is the largest contributor, with $1.9bn or 27% of all inbound transfers, followed by Puerto Rico at $385m. A tax could significantly disrupt these flows, raise consumer costs, and alter the dynamics of cross-border transactions.

So, Mexico will pay for it.

Should be a 40% tax if they can't prove they paid taxes on it.

Donald was literally the only candidate during the campaign that said he wasn't interested in releasing the files. Obviously because he's in them. If any list does get released, I imagine it will be entirely fabricated. If it's not, then it'll definitely be modified.

Most likely no. While liberals want to pretend Donald has some strong allegiance with Epstein, that doesn't appear to be true based on the files.

There ya go again, ignoring mountains of evidence and going with your feefees.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I am doing no such thing. It’s been well proven Trump wasn’t involved with Epstein perversions.

I mean clearly he didn't know the guy right? “I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

It's not like they talked extensively about their relationship.... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/01/trump-jeffrey-epstein-tapes

Good thing we don't have multiple testimonies of Trump's proclivity for sexual misconduct... especially involving Epstein... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/25/trump-sexual-misconduct-allegations-timeline

At least there aren't claims he raped children!!! Oh wait this never got through the courts because the plaintiff was having their life threatened. You'd think Trump would want to clear his name but he didn't seem to think he could. https://www.courthousenews.com/rape-allegations-refiled-against-trump/

But he's never had a reputation as a predator OR a creep! Oh... "From walking into a teen dressing room to joking about his obligation to sleep with contestants, Trump's a storied pageant creep" https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/a-timeline-of-donald-trumps-creepiness-while-he-owned-miss-universe-191860/

You're right. If I ignore all of the evidence to the contrary, there's clearly no relationship and Donald obviously can't be a pedophile rapist that was heavily involved in Epsteins schemes. It's why Trump clearly didn't have him killed. Just a "perfect storm of screw ups" with multiple hardware failures and zero witnesses to the death of one of the highest profile criminals at the time under the Trump DOJ watch. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Jeffrey_Epstein
