The power in the GOP is ok with it as long as it edges any individual towards POWER. This is why they are scrambling to be his ‘right hand man’. They hope he gets elected, and will be removed. ---

Here’s an interesting read: > [@](#): > > # Republicans Have No Idea What Happened in That Trump Meeting Either > > ## “Like talking to your drunk uncle at the family reunion,” one Republican representative said of the closed-door meeting. > > Donald Trump’s trip to Capitol Hill on Tuesday was supposed to be about his agenda if he wins the election in November. Instead, [his meeting](https://www.notus.org/trump-2024/like-talking-to-your-drunk-uncle-trump-closed-door-rant-house-republicans) with House Republicans was about as coherent as one of his rally speeches. > > … > > Almost every Republican in the House attended the meeting, which was full of praise for Trump, including singing “Happy Birthday” to him and presenting him with the baseball from Wednesday’s Congressional Baseball Game. But after that, Trump’s remarks went in various directions, from praising Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nancy Mace, and Steve Scalise to bashing the site of this year’s Republican national convention, [Milwaukee](https://newrepublic.com/post/182688/trump-trashes-milwaukee). > **[Republicans Have No Idea What Happened in That Trump Meeting Either](https://newrepublic.com/post/182700/house-republicans-reaction-trump-meeting)** > > “Like talking to your drunk uncle at the family reunion,” one Republican representative said of the closed-door meeting. How many candidates have conspicuously had “Happy Birthday” sung to them (not on their birthday) at a meeting of congressmen? When I watched this on TV, you could see the congresscritters compulsively applauding, with no one wanting to be the first to stop. They continued even after he had left the room. It reminded me of what I’d heard about compulsory applause at political events in the old USSR. I can’t remember them doing this for any previous president. In other news, Trump wants to replace most , if not all, income tax with revenue from tariffs: > **[Trump Floats One Weird Idea To Replace The U.S. Income Tax](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trumps-weird-idea-to-replace-income-tax-system_n_666b5743e4b076909e1dab23)** > > It’s hard to see how it would work, and critics say it would hurt the poor when compared to the current tax regime. I’ve wondered about this before – does Trump simply not understand how tariffs work? (After all this time he’s surely had it explained to him many times over). Or does he think his constituency is so stupid that they don’t understand how tariffs work? Neither possibility is very attractive, and I can’t see a third. Trump acts as if tariffs are paid by the country they are levied against, and are therefore an inexhaustible supply of money that doesn’t hurt anyone in the US, whereas they are actually higher costs for imported goods ultimately paid for by US citizens or corporations. ---

I think he honestly thinks that tariffs are paid by the exporting country. It probably has been explained to him many times but his skull has the density of lead. The MAGA base will eat up the idea since they’re as stupid as he is if not more. ---

Happy birthday, anyway. So it turns out that Florida congressman Greg Steube is supposed to be introducing a [bill](https://www.newsweek.com/republican-mocked-plan-name-waterways-after-trump-cult-1912719) that will name the United States’ coastal waters after Donald Trump. Said Steube, > [@](#): > > President Trump took several commendable actions for our oceans as part of his work to make America strong, secure, and economically prosperous. Renaming our waters will serve as a reminder of his many contributions to our nation for generations to come. Luckily, this suggestion is rightfully being mocked on social media. ---

It would be strangely apprpriate to name a swamp after Donald Trump. ---

If he would like to name Florida swamps after Trump, I could probably get behind it. A democrat should introduce such a bill. ---
