I did not watch the speech, as I was either commuting home or having dinner while watching Jeopardy!.

1. Did Trump even mention the Epstein files?

2. IF he did, for how many seconds out of what, apparently, was a 20 minute speech?

A transcript can be found here, https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/12/17/read-donald-trumps-speech/87820921007/ , so I may look it over later today.

 :thatsright: I should have known. :thatsright: I read/skimmed through the transcript, and Trump simply did not mention Epstein. Trump "merely" spoke of things that did happen.

All the meme signifies is Dems' and Progs' obsession with their ludicrous, Trump is a pedophile narrative.

What are the odds they didn't even watch the speech, but had it filtered to them by their favored news network?

The transcript SVPete shared shows no mention nor implications about Epstein, the case, the files, or anything else, so yeah, they didn't watch and are regurgitating the talking points they are fed, or just adjusted their perception of reality to match what they want to believe. As usual. 

Anyone got a mole to post said transcript over there?  That might provide a few moments of entertainment before facts get banned.  Also as usual.

My wife and I attended several soccer games during the 1984 Olympics, at Stanford Stadium. The 1984 Olympic Committee wisely chose to use many existing athletic facilities and to spread individual games up and down the western US. This saved loads of $$$$$$$, made games accessible to many more people than if everything were in the LA area, and lessened the impact on traffic in the Land of LA.

Anyway, the games we attended were all low scoring. At least one was 1-0. There were some crazy-enthusiastic fans, and they were from Brazil (those fans were a lot more fun than watching dudes backing-and-forthing for however the game was!).

So far, FIFA's only :thatsright: :thatsright: :thatsright: :thatsright: I've heard of was scheduling a match between two Islamic countries in Seattle at the same time there will be some sort of Pride celebration. The two countries are less than happy about this. Brilliant!

While it was inappropriate for Trump to say what he did, You clowns at DU shouldn't be clutching your pearls over it since he and you have said many a vile thing about anyone who opposes you every chance you get.

They think they are clever calling Trump Krasnov. Idiots.

DUmmies still are devoted to the delusion that Trump is a Russian  ... something-or-other.

Quote
Sort of flying under the radar, but when Krasnov gets control of the Fed ...

In the real world, Presidents have been the ones who appoint members of the Fed's Board of Governors since 1913. The Fed was created and signed into law in 1913. In that real world, Trump has appointed 5 members to the Board, two of whom resigned after several years' service, two of who are incumbents (~5 and ~7 years' service so far), and one was appointed to serve out the remaining term of a Biden appointee who resigned.

Quote
The Fed does a lot more than set interest rates, it regulates banks.

Krasnov plans to lower interest rates to zero, ...

The Fed does these functions under the 1913 Federal Reserve Act and the 1933 Banking Act. Is this a revelation on DU?

In the real world, Trump does not have the authority to set rates, the Fed does Trump (or any POTUS) can urge some action by the Fed, but the Fed has no obligation to do what is urged.

Quote
...  not to improve the economy but to destroy the dollar ...

In the real world, lower interest rates will stimulate investment into engines of economic growth (e.g. capital equipment purchases).

Quote
... China and Russia and the BRIC countries are just waiting to replace the dollar as the world's currency.

The strong US economy intended by Trump will strengthen the dollar. BRICS is coming apart at the seams. Among the BRICS countries, Russia is embroiled in a stalemated war ... Iran got hammered by Israel and the US ... South Africa is self-destructing itself with internal anti-white economic actions ... Ethiopia is coming apart at the seams with ethnic group rebellions ... China's economy is stagnating or worse  ...

Quote
Krasnov will not just remove regulations on banks, ...

In the real world, Trump does not have the authority to change bank regulations.

Quote
... I believe he will force banks to back cyber-currencies with the dollar.

What you believe and a tenner will get you a Frappuccino and change (maybe) at Starchucks. Again, in the real world, Trump does not have the authority to change bank regulations.

The super rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer.

Ah, yes, the worn through and repeatedly patch Economic Envy Card. Has any Communist or Socialist or modern Progressive ever tried to explain how "The Poor" who cannot afford to buy the goods and services sold by "The Rich" can further enrich "The Rich"?

In 2026 the FIFA World Cup Soccer arrives in the USA. That will be the time when native born Americans PRETEND (if they are polite) to be interested in Soccer or what the rest of the world calls Football. Watching these Brits suffering extreme meltdowns over absurdly (and typically) low scoring soccer games is amusing to watch. It has convinced me that growing up watching either American football vs soccer somehow wires your brain differently. The way soccer flows with its absurdly low scores just does NOT appeal to Americans who expect higher scores in a game that flows entirely different from soccer.

So if you attend any of the FIFA World Cup venues in the USA you can be sure those in the stands surrounding you who are going BERSERK during the soccer games are either visitors from abroad or Americans who have originally immigrated here from the outer soccer loving world. Most native born Americans just can't get very emotional over soccer. That's just the way we are wired.
