> [@bobot](#): > > Has Putin been welcomed in this country before? I didn’t see if this was answered. Putin has been to the USA, a couple times to pal with his bud W, and a couple UN meetings or such in the early 2000’s. Then once more to the UN in 2015. I will assume that Presidents and other diplomats are always “welcome” to visit other countries. In the case of the W years he was almost certainly invited. In 2015, dunno. I reckon the Russian Consulate had to send a limo to pick him up. I do not believe any leader has been turned around at JFK/Idlewild. Nikita Khrushchev was DUE at Idlewild for a state visit in 1959 where he famously had his entourage stop at a random supermarket in or just outside San Francisco. He was visibly amazed at all the choices of food. Of course in the USSR they knew it was all a set up. American supermarkets are inferior to ours. ---

[The worst numbers. Nobody’s ever seen numbers this bad. Bigly bad. Ketchup throwing bad.](https://www.aol.com/one-trump-flaw-most-americans-100000180.html)(The **bolding** is mine.) > Tens of millions of Americans voted for President Donald Trump in the belief that he would be competent. They might not have been thrilled that Trump is a convicted felon, or pleased with his role in the violent attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Many worried that he posed a threat to democracy. But enough were willing to overlook all that, because they convinced themselves that Trump would be an effective chief executive, that under his stewardship their lives would get better and the country would prosper. > > A survey from the Democratic pollsters Douglas Schoen and Carly Cooperman, conducted shortly after the election, helps illustrate the point. By an 11-point margin, independents [said](https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/5040497-voters-prioritize-government-effectiveness/) they would be less confident that the Trump administration would share accurate information compared with the Biden administration. Yet, by a 10-point margin, those same voters said that they thought the Trump administration would be more effective at getting things done. > > “Ultimately, our postelection poll makes clear that voters prioritized perceived effectiveness rather than upholding democracy this election,” Schoen and Cooperman [wrote](https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/5040497-voters-prioritize-government-effectiveness/), “and while they are deeply skeptical towards our institutions generally, they are cautiously optimistic that the incoming administration will be effective at providing real-world solutions.” > > A little more than half a year into Trump’s second term, however, the public’s confidence in his skill as a chief executive is shattering. In a recent [AP/NORC poll](https://www.ap.org/news-highlights/spotlights/2025/trumps-approval-rating-on-immigration-and-government-spending-has-slipped-new-ap-norc-poll-finds/), only about one-quarter of U.S. adults said that Trump’s policies have helped them. Roughly half report that Trump’s policies have “done more to hurt” them, and about two in 10 say his policies have “not made a difference” in their lives. **Remarkably, Trump failed to earn majority approval on _any_ of the issues in the poll, including the economy, immigration, and cutting government spending.** > > As a result, a politically toxic impression is hardening. Trump’s approval rating in the most recent [Gallup poll](https://news.gallup.com/poll/692879/independents-drive-trump-approval-second-term-low.aspx) is 37 percent, the lowest of this term and only slightly higher than his all-time low of 34 percent, at the end of his first term. (Among independents, Trump’s approval rating is down to 29 percent.) Americans already understood Trump to be corrupt, and proved themselves willing to tolerate that. **But now they are coming to believe that he is _inept_. In American politics, that is an unforgivable sin.** I’d say it used to be an unforgivable sin. The First Felonial Era showed to all and sundry exactly how inept (100%) he is. The Second Felonial Era is merely reinforcing that fact. [Mexico set _minimum_ export prices for 'maters.](https://www.aol.com/news/mexico-sets-minimum-export-prices-174120432.html) > MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexico has set minimum export prices for fresh tomatoes to protect its domestic production and ensure internal supply after a bilateral agreement with the U.S. expired, Mexico’s economy and agriculture ministries said in a joint statement on Sunday. > > The decision follows Washington’s withdrawal in July from a 2019 deal between the two countries which regulated Mexican tomato exports to the U.S.. > > The Trump administration on July 14 announced a duty of about 17% on imports of fresh tomatoes from Mexico. > > While the new pricing rules apply exclusively to definitive exports, they don’t restrict export volumes or impose maximum prices. Prices will be reviewed annually or sooner if market conditions demand, the Mexican ministries said. > > Minimum export prices per kilogram are set at $1.70 for cherry and grape tomatoes, $0.88 for Roma tomatoes, $0.95 for round tomatoes, and $1.65 for round tomatoes with stems. Other varieties, such as cocktail and heirloom tomatoes, will also have a minimum price of $1.70. If my math is correct, that’s an extra 16 cents per kilogram for round tomatoes due to the tariff, an extra 16 cents for no good reason whatsoever. [Homeless in DC? The felon’s after you!](https://www.aol.com/trump-wants-evict-homeless-washington-170946700.html) > WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump pledged on Sunday to evict homeless people from the nation’s capital and jail criminals, despite Washington’s mayor arguing there is no current spike in crime. > > “The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong,” Trump posted on the Truth Social platform. > > The White House declined to explain what legal authority Trump would use to evict people from Washington. The Republican president controls only federal land and buildings in the city. He put that out on his Xitter clone because even a moron such as he knows a reporter would ask, “If you believe criminals belong in jail, _why aren’t you in prison now?_” [And speaking of the war on DC](https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-admin-cutting-20m-dc-100450338.html) > The Trump administration plans to cut millions in security funding for [Washington, D.C.](https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/washington-dc), despite the president also directing federal law enforcement to increase its presence in the city because of its “totally out of control” crime. > > In a grant notice posted last week, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said that D.C.'s urban security fund would receive $25.2 million, a 44% year-over-year reduction. > > The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees FEMA, said on Friday it slashed funds to multiple cities to be consistent with the “current threat landscape.” Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Jersey City also had their security funds cut, but the decrease in D.C. was the largest for any urban area that received funding from the program last fiscal year.
