“Rage bait” is Custard’s version of “fake news.” Very convenient and often used.

Trump weaponizing the DOJ to intimidate the FED into lower interest rates. Totally normal stuff! Who loves low interest rates? Billionaires with a lot of debt!

Definitely not a cult. Son asks dad if “Trump ordered the Marines to walk into a mall and kill everyone including (his son),” dad says “I’m all for it, there must be a reason.” His mother agreed with dad.

Trump rage bait is an entire industry that profits by making content (real or otherwise) that keeps folks suffering from TDS enraged and clicking. It’s why a big chunk of the media could only talk about Trump even when Biden was president. Surprised you aren’t at least marginally aware of this very real phenomenon.

Sure, but do you have influence over them? Do you owe hundreds of millions? Are you willing to crash the economy to save a half a percent?

I’m sure it exists. But not everything you find inconvenient to defend is “rage bait.”

You really believe this don’t you lol. Crash the economy?! You might wanna look at actual data. Do some research. The economy is pretty good currently, getting better, and he’s trying to make it even better which will benefit everyone by the lower interest rates. And you say the right is a bunch of conspiracy theorists lol…

The referral is over an allegation that he lied to congress.

The leaders bitch and whine and moan and frown but ultimately they do what Trump wants once the cameras and mics are turned off.

AI Overview (long)

Yes, Donald Trump’s threats and actions—particularly during his second term starting in 2025—have directly prompted European NATO leaders to take significant steps toward increasing defense spending. This builds on pressures from his first term (2017-2021), but the 2025 escalations, including tariff threats and aggressive rhetoric on issues like Greenland, accelerated commitments. Below, I’ll outline the key developments based on recent events.
Damn straight! They have to defend themselves from the US!

I already did my own research, Ray! 😬

Denmark overtaxes their people and still underpaid their NATO commitment for years and years. But they have  “free” healthcare and college! freedom isn’t free!

Denmark has been overseeing Greenland for a very long time, during which the US has been able to have bases, rent free. Maybe they should start charging, then take the money and put it towards their NATO commitment.

I don't love low interest rates - I'm a lender not a borrower!

Anyway, let's say for the moment, we all love lower interest rates. Trump either mistakenly thinks he can order the Fed to drop the discount rate and mortgage rates will follow suit, or he knows that MAGA mistakenly thinks that.

The latter is actually better for Trump. He can claim that he's trying to lower interest rates but Jerome Powell is stopping him, and MAGA will believe it and continue to support him. But the Fed, by not dropping the discount rate, keeps the economy from getting a massive inflation shot. So the status quo is "OK", and Trump is promising a "Great" that is impossible, but blaming someone else for stopping this "Greatness"
