CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

On January 20, 2025, there was no trade war with China or Japan. President Trump's tariff policy initiated these trade disputes, but as usual, he will negotiate a deal, take credit for the outcome, and his supporters will praise his negotiation skills.

Korean Air to buy 103 Boeing jets as Trump pressures trading partners
US aviation giant Boeing and Korean Air announced a deal worth about $36bn (£24bn) on Monday for 103 planes as President Donald Trump presses trading partners to do more business with American firms.
The deal includes 787, 777 and 737 passenger jets, according to a joint statement from the two companies.
The new jets will come at a "pivotal moment" and modernise the South Korean flag carrier's fleet, ensuring it stays competitive as it merges with Asiana Airlines, said Korean Air boss Walter Cho.
The agreement was announced just hours after South Korean President Lee Jae Myung met Trump in Washington to discuss the 15% tariffs imposed by the US on the Asian country in July.

...while addressing the sailors....3 minutes on "steam or electric" catapults....
"… And I asked you, Captain. I'm building the aircraft, I'm building a lot of things, but I said, "Captain, you're going to tell me something. I know a lot about these ships, I know a lot about these things building, I want to know, catapults, which is better, the electric or the steam?"
Crowd (32:45):
Steam.
President Donald Trump (32:47):
Okay, ready? You guys, that's what you do, right? This is so much better. They go out hire a consultant for millions of dollars that was never on an aircraft carrier before, so they switched to electric. I disagree with it, but it's all right. Let me ask you. We're going to go steam first and then electric. Catapults, which is better, electric, or steam?
Crowd (33:11):
Steam.
President Donald Trump (33:15):
I'm going to put in an order. Seriously, they're spending billions of dollars to build stupid electric. And the problem when it breaks, you have to send up to MIT, get the most brilliant people in the world, fly them out. That's ridiculous. The steam, they say they can fix it with a hammer and a blowtorch, and it works just as well, if not better. And I love the sight of that beautiful steam pouring off that deck. With the electric, you don't have that.
(33:41)
So we did the Ford in electric, the cost overruns, everything else, but I hope it's going to be okay, but I like steam. We're going to go back to steam. They changed just for the sake of changing. I said to the architect, "Have you ever designed a ship before? You only did the biggest ship in the world, right, the Ford? But we're going to go back."
(34:01)
Now, let me ask you the second question, hydraulic for your elevators, or magnets? The new thing is magnets. So instead of using hydraulic, you can be hit by lightning and it's fine. You take a little glass of water and you drop it on magnets, I don't know what's going to happen. So the elevators come up in the new carriers. I think I'm going to change it, by the way. They have magnets.
(34:26)
Every tractor has hydraulic, every excavator, every excavating machine, if any kind has hydraulic, but somebody decided to use magnets for your … But maybe they're good. Which is better, hydraulic, or magnets? What the hell is wrong with these people? Can I ask you, the top ranking gentleman right here? Seriously, I'm putting out an order. I'm going to sign an executive order. When we build aircraft carriers, it's steam for the catapults and it's hydraulic for the elevators. We'll never have a problem, okay?
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Aye aye, sir.
President Donald Trump (35:06):
Do you agree? He agrees, everybody agrees, but these people in Washington, all right, we're going to do that. I'm serious about it. It bothered me so much. I see the costs come in, they spend 900 … This is not on my watch. So if it was on my watch, I would be very quiet about it. I wouldn't be talking about it. They spent $993 million on the catapults trying to get them to work, and they had steam, which works so beautifully and it has for 50 years, right? So we're going to go back. Seriously fellas, I want to make that change. I'm going to do an executive order. I'm not going to let them continue to do this now. They're trying to make it work. They're trying so hard and they have something that's perfect. So we're going to go back on that and the magnets, thank you very much.

Trump gets gold crown from South Korea
President Donald Trump received a replica of a historic golden crown from South Korean president Lee Jae Myung. The gold-plated gift, decorated with trees and animals, is based on the ancient Silla Kingdom’s gold crown.
If nothing else, Trump is easy to buy for.

I think you gave the wrong timestamp. At 4:47 they're not even touching and she's smiling broadly at him. But don't bother fixing it for me. I've already seen all of it. It was lovely.

About an hour before the meeting was set to start, Trump posted on his social media platform, touting U.S. nuclear capacity and saying he had ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear testing on an "equal basis" to other countries' testing programs, which will begin "immediately."
The U.S. has "observed a voluntary moratorium on nuclear explosive testing since 1992," according to the Congressional Research Service, though it has maintained the ability to resume the tests.
Take that, Nevada and Utah! Or maybe we can branch out and find some sparsely inhabited part of Minnesota or Delaware to blow up.
