Trump is an absolute imbecile and a bigot yet to both sides clowns on here he is the next coming and best thing since slice bread, no sane black person can support this racist
Trump has to be the absolute HOLY GRAIL representation of white male mediocrity.
My god this nikka is a fukking lazy ass clown.
I really can't understand his supporters. The wildest shyt is...I'm not happy with Dems. I'm lukewarm on Kamala Harris. But even if I was hype, I'm not getting Harris tattoos, turning my whole car into Harris bumper stickers and exhibiting cult like behavior about her.
shyt is fukkING BIZARRE

I got concepts of a plan.
Trump has low energy now. Dude did a rally in Montana and is done for the month as of right now. Done for the whole month.
Idk if they trying to regroup but his campaign needs to get it together if they want him to win.
He might be mailing it in or waiting to go hard the last 45 days.
I think he knows he is done unless Kamala does something wildly egregious. It’s crazy what a difference a few weeks makes. Joe must be proud.

The administration paused the Jones act for 60 days
Puerto Rico, Hawaii , Guam & the Virgin Islands have been trying to get a waiver for years to reduce cost
The Jones Act, formally known as Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, is a U.S. federal law that regulates maritime commerce by requiring goods transported by water between U.S. ports to be carried on ships that are U.S.-built, U.S.-owned, U.S.-flagged, and crewed primarily by U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
National Security and Economic Goals
The law was enacted to strengthen the U.S. merchant marine for national defense and economic security, ensuring a domestic fleet capable of supporting military logistics during wars or emergencies. It supports 650,000 American jobs and contributes around $154 billion to the U.S. economy, particularly benefiting shipbuilders, maritime workers, and related industries.
Criticism and Waivers
Critics argue the Jones Act drives up shipping costs—especially for places like Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska—and limits competition. As a result, it is often waived during emergencies, such as natural disasters or energy crises. In March 2026, the Trump administration issued a 60-day waiver to allow foreign vessels to transport oil between U.S. ports, aiming to stabilize fuel prices amid disruptions from the Iran conflict.
Legal Protections for Seamen
The Jones Act also provides critical worker protections, allowing injured maritime workers to sue their employers for negligence and recover damages—a right not typically available under general maritime law. This aspect is central to maritime labor rights and insurance discussions.
The law is named after its sponsor, Senator Wesley Jones of Washington, and remains a cornerstone of U.S. maritime policy, despite ongoing debate over its economic impact.
