They did more than influence the past election, and have plans to do the same in the upcoming ones... so ofcourse any regulation against these plans must be taken away.

Just send Trump a bill for decades of non payment of use of the grounds on which the bases are located.
To use Trump's own business-tactics against him: it was prime real estate ground worth billions that the bases blocked the development of ... no exclusive reason those troops only had to be on land, could have kept a fleet on standby in the ocean or something.

Perhaps he also thought chaina was going to send small US businesses a tariffs check directly?

I am a bit curious to where this will go, I agree it looks to be what you say, an opportunity to throw the case and get a ruling that will fortify things against a breakup.

On the other hand Musk despises the Zuck and is petty enough to work towards breaking up Zuckerberg's empire behind the scenes. He would love to buy up chunks of it.

It's a get lost payment, not a welcome to the USA bonus ....

10k to get lost, it's unspoken but the money is to leave the country because that is then owned by Trump.

This is a typical Trump deal, Trump gets what he wants and the other side gets ripped off. There never will be equal footing between trading partners in a Trump deal.

Isn't Ozempic already mad expensive in the US compared to Denmark where it comes from?

Perhaps he thinks Ozempic actually is harvested in Greenland? :-D

What really needs to stop is the obscene bonus culture. It is quite disgusting to keep reading a company needs to lay off 500 people only to then give some CEO a bonus of 15million. Or banks running a deep 9 digit number loss in a year but still the higher ups get a bonus for some reason or a vague years old contractual promise. The top should feel loss first before it "trickles down", and honest pay for honest work should include the top as well.

And while I am at it, senseless management jobs should be allowed to be contested, no more "manager toiletpaper" who only shows up once a week to make an order, yet makes 5x the wages of people under him.

Hahaha

This whole presidency is raised for maximizing CEO income and no taxes for everyone at the top.

It will be interesting if Trump actually manages to pull it off, because he'll make the US swap places with China:
No one trusts the country anymore, but if it has low enough wages and proper production capability it will produce everything cheaply just to export it all overseas where the luxury goods will be sold. Of course all profits will be made overseas, not in the US because hardly anyone can afford the luxury items no more.

Meanwhile the production states will get deep smog clouds and intense small coal particle pollution in return. And the need for face masks will be back....

It requires people who eventually jump off the roof of the building...

It's so weird they always look outside to fix the American problems.
Instead of heavily taxing the American billionaires and giant corporations plus halving the defense budget, if only for a year or two, they expect to claim money from outside of the US to fix it all.

How much of it exists at this moment to cover the lost imported goods?
How much of the "catch-up" industry can be running efficiently enough within 2 years?
(How much of that same manufacturing will not be crippled by other measures that Trump shakes out of his pants?)
