DOGE is the best thing this Trump administration has to offer. Milei started it and hopefully it will spread like wildfire. Burn down the bureaucrats that leech of society all around the world. Can’t wait until this reaches the EU.

Indeed - I even think a lot of Democrats will agree if you leave Trump out of the conversation. Most bureaucrats are Democrats but most Democrats are not bureaucrats.

I don’t think most MAGA think gay or trans is a problem as well. The democrats pushed this agenda over the top and it was getting ridiculous. For me personally I just want to see DOGE succeed ] I don’t care about the rest. Too much bureaucrats and regulations. Glad the tarrifs are not implemented (for now) as everyone feared. It will be a wild ride, but tbh I really think it is needed. Whatever comes out of this will be better. Cleaning up needs to be done. Government spending is/was out of control.

Hope DOGE and Milei will be an example for the EU where bureaucracy and regulation is an even bigger problem.

what tarrifs? 😆

Most important is a decent attitude and have the respect to listen to someones opinions. I don’t believe socialists are evil but I do believe a lot of their policies are. Even if the intention is good. I am a libertarian but not an anarchist so that means I do believe there is a role for governments. I think that’s an interesting start for a friendly conversation with anyone 🍻

Okay, one more Nazi meme then. Let’s laugh and forget about this and talk about more important topics like DOGE.

Yeah, a good buddy of mine is a hardcore socialist and I am a libertarian. We sometimes talk politics and still have fun. Why not. Discuss and let the best argument win.

I can’t vote for Trump (I’m Dutch). Would have probably voted for him though. Another 4 years of Biden would have made Europe a Marxists paradise. Trump still might not change it but at least there is some push back now.

I don’t understand the ‘I will always support my president’ - maybe that’s a US thing. If you think the guy is a nutcase, why support him. The US is more than a president. Companies, states and people can thrive under bad management.

Not sure what to think of the Guantanamo Bay policy. If it is only used for low life criminals I am not too bothered with it. If it causes randomly sending illegals there and treating them inhumanly I wouldn’t support that.

Isolated incident and blown way out of proportions. Impossible to know what he was thinking at the time, maybe it was meant as a ‘heart to you’ gesture or just a ‘look at me you fuckers’. Even if it was the latter (what I doubt) that doesn’t make you a nazi.
Whatever it was, it did result in exactly what you would expect. MSM is freaking out, but I am pretty sure that even the most leftwing nutcase (Europe is full of them) understands he is not looking to kill 6 million Jews or Muslims.

It does distract from DOGE though, and that’s what we need the most. Kick out all the useless bureaucrats, regulations and appreciate people that produce instead of leech.

From everything that is happening right now in the US - DOGE is the most exciting. We definitely could use some DOGE in Europe

He mentioned the following.

“some of them are so bad, we don’t even trust the countries to hold them, because we don’t want them coming back.”

I think it is more to send a signal than a well thought out policy but indeed good question.

Why is this downvoted? Didn’t history prove this enough by now?

Interesting - democratizing journalism. Wondering what the prerequisites will be to be able to apply.

She’s okay but Kayleigh McEnany > Karonie Leavitt

Not a big fan of the tarrifs - a dangerous bet. His goal doesn’t seem to be using tarrifs to end income tax, but force other countries into submission. Wondering how this will play out.

No - just like I don’t want to ban people having a conversation in a pub about a topic I don’t like even if they just tell lies to each other.

If it was up to the EU we’d still believe there was no chance in the world the Corona Covid virus could have ever come from a Chinese lab and even suggesting it should have you banned from social media. Free float of ideas and let the best argument win.

Totally agree. I still think from a economic and personal freedom perspective you’re a lot better off in a capitalist society under authoritarian control than in a Marxist one. Nobody is safe in an authoritarian communist (or probably better term - collectivist) society. How much examples do you need. Mao was the worst. China embraced capitalism and significantly improved the living standards of its people after Mao, while still remaining an authoritarian regime. Pinochet made the economy thriving and under socialist Salvador Allende the economy was a mess.

I am certainly not in favor of an authoritarian regime but at least capitalism gives you more economic freedom and property rights.

Not ‘just a guy’ - very well researched and with actual feet on the ground. If this doesn’t convince you nothing will and you’re probably stuck in your ideology. Oh well, you can’t save everyone 😀

Also very good article.
