Trump Elected: The True MAGA Era Begins, Now What?

And of course the other big thing that Americans are rightfully criticizing and feeling very unhappy about is Trumps very dangerous way of handling the pressure and bidding of “Israel“ to attack Iran.

I wouldn’t be so sure that there isn’t or couldn’t be hope for America although that is probably likely. I would stay open and hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Agreed, I never said I was sure of anything

Also, you forgot the most important detail:

Charlie Kirk’s murder and the quite deplorable way it was handled by Trump and co. while Kirk could very well have become president in the future and was a very big help (if not the key reason) getting Trump and Vance in there in the first place while also basically being the only one standing up to Trumps insane ignorance of thinking attacking Iran should be done. While it is pretty clear at the same time that almost everything points directly at Zionists/Deepstate/Netanyahu being the ones that ordered the murder. That is another very big no-no that makes people despise the Trump team and understandably so. With friends like this…

I wasn't excluding any particular event, just describing a small selection. There's a long list to choose from - and that's kind of my point.

Kash went to China, very promising news for stopping fentanyl.

11/12/2025

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -China agreed on a plan to stop fentanyl-related chemicals as part of its deal with the Trump administration to crack down on the lethal opioid, FBI Director Kash Patel said on Wednesday.

Patel said the agreement resulted from his trip to Beijing last week, a visit that followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s summit last month with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea.

"The People’s Republic of China has fully designated and listed all 13 precursors utilized to make fentanyl," Patel said at a news briefing. "Furthermore, they have agreed to control seven chemical subsidiaries that are also utilized to produce this lethal drug."
Reuters previously reported Patel’s trip to China, which took place last weekend. The trip was not previously officially announced by either the United States or China.

China’s Commerce Ministry announced on Monday that the country will make adjustments to the catalog of drug-related precursor chemicals and will require licenses for export of certain chemicals to the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The anti-drug authority also tightened oversight of production and export of drug-making chemicals not on its control list to keep them out of illegal channels, it said in a notice.

It underscored criminal risks exporters could face when shipping chemicals to certain "high-risk" countries such as the United States.

Trump halved the tariffs on Chinese goods imposed as a punishment over the flow of fentanyl to 10% after reaching the agreement during last month’s talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

Xi will work "very hard to stop the flow" of fentanyl, a deadly synthetic opioid that is the leading cause of American overdose deaths, Trump told reporters after the talks.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the details of the fresh consensus would be hashed out through a new bilateral working group.
