AMERICA FIRST PRESIDENT!

Truthful answer? No not at all, but if you call it what it really is people won't vote for you.
- I honestly might vote for an America last party
  
  Ok let’s do it. America 257th! Our policy is to give everything away to foreigners except $5.

Billionaires first.
- It seems to be specific capitalist first. Not to defend "billionaires" but what's going on is a bit of inter class conflict. I feel like the tarrifs are (1) an attack on the working class. We are the ones that actually pay them. And (2) are a means of giving a loyalty pledge to the the new administration. We'll let you not pay the tarrifs if you agree.
  If you know about the history of Nazi Germany it's pretty similar. The petty bourgeois class (small business owners) were the ones that supported the rise of fascism within the electoral system; And they were the ones quickly ignored and discarded in favor of the concentration of capital.
  In short. The small business is getting fucked, the middle is getting eaten or bought out, and those most loyal to the new administration are given rewards.
  It's the transition from neoliberalism to fascism. And the politicians are all trying to adjust to this change within the ruling class to get their donations and narratives. It's why the Democratic party is so confused right now.

Donald trump considers himself America.
He puts himself first, therefore America is first.
The rest of us aren’t in his picture.

It’s Trump First!

It's AMERICANS first! ... and by that they mean WHITE AMERICANS! ... and by that they mean RICH WHITE AMERICANS!
- ... And rich white Argentinians and rich, uh, you know the Qataris are great guys, some say the best. You know they gave me a plane once?
- As it was written in the US Constitution. Add males only to that.

This is exactly "America First" which was never about Americans but about deception and control.

Nothing sounds more America First than single payer health insurance
- Single prayer health insurance

"But you said America came first!"
"That was actually a typo. It should say 'America first? No! Nazis on US soil!'"

I read somewhere recently that over half of obamacare recipients voted for this. I sincerely believe long-covid takes the shine off an already dull knife. I hate that I have to disown nearly everyone (including family) to protect my kids from the social stank.
- Weirdly enough, my mom has long covid and seems to have gotten smarter and more based. She's organizing like 1000% more now.

All good. Nebraska farmers need that $20B bailout because China won't buy their soybeans. LOL, imagine how pissed they are.
- I'm sure 80 to 90 percent would vote trump again without giving it a second thought. I'm sure 99 percent of them will vote for whatever GOP candidate is put forward regardless - that is if we ever get to vote again ...
- Nebraska farmers are supposed to go into foreclosure so Vance's company can buy up the cheap farmland and use 'immigrant' slaves to work the fields.

It has always been "Rich Americans First".

Last I checked d, I throught having foreign military bases on American soil was considered un-American because we're strong enough without them?
Looks like DEI Dostoevsky thinks America is weak.
- The headlines are exaggerated. It is not a base, but a few buildings for training on a US military Base (Mountain Home in Idaho) as part of a foreign sales agreement for the F-15QA varient they purchased. Many other militaries have similar agreements and facilities, like Germany out of Holloman in New Mexico.
  Still not a good look to be quid pro quoing with a fancy new Boeing and training centers, but it's far from "a foreign military base on US soil. Hell, even your standard foreign embassy in the US is more distinctly foreign than this facility.
  
  In Qatar's defense, last time Trump was in office Jared Kushner went to the Qatar embassy, trying to get them to buy some real estate off him. They mistook it for a genuine business deal and declined, so Kushner complained to Trump, who sanctioned them for it. The sanctions lasted until Biden took office. Apparently, someone in Qatar's government said if they had realized it was shakedown, they would have just payed.
  
  Fair enough.

I’m pretty sure it was meant to read “President First, America!!!”.

AMERICA FIRST!
Think? Later!

No mention of the $30 billion for Israel to carry out a genocide in Gaza or bombing Iran because Netanyahu insisted?

It was more America above Americans

Not a base…. Temporary Training center with cheap housing for the trainees. I’m not defending anyone, but we need to keep the facts straight to continue to be credible.
- That's just repeating MAGA propaganda...
  We can't assume when Kegsworth said:
  We're giving them a military base
  He meant
  Temporary accomodations on an existing US base
  Stop fucking defending fascists, just because you don't believe they'd really do, what they repeatedly told us they will do
  If you want to go stick your head in sand, literally no one is stopping you.
  But stop throwing sand in our faces and telling us it's preferable.
  
  We're letting them build accommodations on an existing base and setup training routines. Didn't research this, not a single article, jkust went full-on: "fAscIsM!!!"?

  Yeah, bribing Trump with a shitty plane greased the wheels, but this is normal. We train allied naval pilots from all over the planet in Pensacola. I worked on base, saw troops from all over the globe. Perhaps Qatari is not our ally?
  Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA) status: In March 2022, President Joe Biden officially designated Qatar as an MNNA.
  OP presents a fact. Lemmy, confronted with a fact they don't like: FUCK YOU! So, your world view is as informed as a conservative, just the opposite?
  My most influential teacher was our science teacher from 1st-6th grade. Every year she would start with defining the difference between fact and opinion, how to discern the difference. You would have failed that class, as an adult.
  And if you have any doubts where my politics lay, my history is free to read. Here's some advice from just yesterday, talking about how to legally shoot the fuckers. Fuck me, can't believe I'm not banned from the entire site for talking about armed violence against fascists.
  
  He is right though. Qatar is getting access to a part of a US base to train with planes they got from the US. Here is a 1 min YT short explaining the situation: https://youtube.com/shorts/p1bH0Q1LA-c
  
  Dude, I hate Trump and MAGA too ... but please look at the actual info.
- Glad we cleared that up, but I'm still not getting a paycheck.
- Yeah, we train naval aviators from all over the world in Pensacola. That's our claim to fame. I didn't serve, but I worked on base and saw allied troops of all sorts.
  Guess the real question is if America is funding this or the Qatari's bought a ticket to ride with the jumbo jet bribe.

  Please look into this. The comment is removed as misinfornation while it corrects misinformation.
  
  I have recovered it for now. As at least the public accessible informations are only indicating a training facility.
- More like a temporary terrorist training center.
  
  But Americans never needed foreigners to teach them how to destroy, pillage and terrorise the world, ray. And they're perhaps the best at it!
  
  Yeah, because terrorists, once trained on F-15s, can go back to their caves and pull out their own F-15s. Along with maintenance crews, parts and armament logistics, actual armaments, all that.
  Want to see jihadis work modern military gear? LOL, those dumbshits crashed at least one Black Hawk. I saw a video where the guy in the background is trying to clear an American M4 by banging the stock on the ground while looking down the muzzle. Nothing dramatic, his turban popped off and he crumpled.
  Or are we going with, "All Arabs are terrorists."?
