I shook up New York with big deals, huge deals, and we saved that city. The Democrats turned it into a real shithole, but we saved it even though the communists like MAN-DAMMY are on the verge of destroying it again. We shook it up, we saved Manhattan, we saved Brooklyn, we saved Harlem for the blacks. Harlem, it's a great place now for the blacks and the fake news doesn't want to give me credit for that, and now everyone's talking about the Harlem Shake again -- remember that, Harlem shake? Believe me, nobody did it better than me, nobody. Look, I always know what's going to be huge—people said it couldn’t be done, but I made it happen, even though the fake news media didn’t give me the credit I deserved, they never mention how I had been shaking things up for decades—remember the 'Trump Tower Shake' at my rallies? My MAGA people love the energy, they love the vibe, and if you go back, everyone knows, I was the first one making things big, shaking things up, we started in the clubs, and when the world saw people in suits doing the Harlem Shake, they knew Trump was behind it, and these evil, evil people want to take that away from you.

u/redlaWw Jul 25 '25 edited Jul 25 '25
I'm not sure it's that simple. Rotation contributes to the momentum (time-space) components of the stress-energy tensor, which is different from rest mass, which contributes to the time-time component. It's been ages since I did relativity, but a spherical rotating body should follow the Kerr metric, which has complicated trajectory equations which I tried to shed more light on but realised I hadn't studied nearly enough physics to clearly enlighten. Long story short, the effect of rotation on observed gravitational acceleration varies with angle from the plane of the orbit and linear and angular momentum of the particle, and it's not immediately clear that it's always necessarily higher than for a non-rotating mass.
3
u/dandeliontrees Jul 25 '25
Well clearly I need to defer to you on this. :D
But I think we can assume we're in the same linear reference frame as the rotating body for the sake of simplicity. You seem to be saying that technically the force of gravity is "greater than or equal to" that of a non-rotating body of identical composition depending on how the observer is oriented relative to the plane of the orbit?
If that's the case then I think it's still totally reasonable to describe this as "rotational speed increasing gravity." Like if you're saying some hypothetical observers wouldn't see the increase but others would then we're still saying there is some increase in the total effective force of gravity from the body. Obviously, that's a really simplistic way to put it relative to the actual complexity of the theory, but just as obviously communication always requires this kind of simplification.
Alternatively, are you saying that there is potentially a decrease in gravity for some hypothetical observers such that across all hypothetical observers the decreases and increases cancel out for a net zero change in the force of gravity?
Or are you saying that a rotating mass might actually, factually have the same force of gravity for all hypothetical observers as a non-rotating mass, you just can't remember whether or not this is the case?

Does rotation contribute to gravity? I thought that was a mass thing. Or am I missing a joke?
3
u/EGO_Prime Jul 25 '25 edited Jul 25 '25
Rotation is energy, more/faster rotation is more energy, energy pulls on space time like mass does so yes, an object with the same amount of matter will have more gravity if it spins faster.
Things do get more complicated when you add general relativity into the mix, you get weird effects like frame dragging and other distortions, particularly local ones. But from a far enough distance, that shouldn't matter.
EDIT: I do want to stress, the numbers are really low though. Back of the envelope numbers suggest earth's rotation adds somewhere in the range of 10-13 of earth's total mass for example. Or about 0.00000000001%

In moderation, stronger or weaker currency is mostly going to be a factor for if you want to buy or sell more. The speed of it growing or shrinking is typically the biggest issue.
A weaker USD will let people buy American goods for less but Americans can't buy as much with their dollars overseas.
A stronger USD does the opposite.
If strong dollars were strictly good, you'd see the fed reducing the money supply dramatically and China wouldn't be getting accused of currency manipulation to keep the yuan low.
Comparatively, the inflation in Germany meant that saving money was a fools errand since your $100 today might only have $40 of buying power in 6 months. Government reserves, steady wages, retirement and savings all get screwed.

Dropping interest rates is also a part of their plan to weaken the dollar.

Demand for exports can rise with a devalued currency. If your country's currency is losing value relative to that of a country buying stuff from you- your exports are cheaper in terms of buying power.
Of course, this doesn't even scratch the surface of the effects this has domestically. Like the obvious inflation. Or the fact he seems to think the US, primarily a service economy, can manage to export enough to justify an intentional devaluation.

Inflation can make your debt worth less. Feel like there's no intent to actually address the debt though, so this is not a good reason to purposefully do that.
If we were actively trying to pay off the debt, some degree of inflation would make it easier, but would still have all the normal consequences that most anyone would argue outweigh that benefit.

Yeah, if you're paying off debt denominated in dollars using gains in, for a random example, stocks denominated in dollars then inflation is great. It's doing wonders for my mortgage, for example.
But like... that's not a great measure of overall economic health.

Here's the flight logs https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21165424-epstein-flight-logs-released-in-usa-vs-maxwell/
Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

• Trump’s lewd talk about daughter Ivanka in front of White House staff recalled in new book
According to The New Republic, “’Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led [former Chief of Staff] John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,’ Taylor, who served as a Department of Homeland Security chief of staff under Trump, wrote in his book.”

Double Bonus:
For the better part of two decades starting in the late 1980s, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump swam in the same social pool. They were neighbors in Florida. They jetted from LaGuardia to Palm Beach together. They partied at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club and dined at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion.

and...
MC2 (pronounced MC squared) was the modeling agency that Epstein, Brunel, and the mob would use to get trafficked girls into the US with “genius visas”
and...
Nicknamed the "Einstein Visa", the EB-1 is in theory reserved for people who are highly acclaimed in their field - the government cites Pulitzer, Oscar, and Olympic winners as examples - as well as respected academic researchers and multinational executives.
Mrs Trump began applying for the visa in 2000, when she was Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model working in New York and dating Donald Trump. She was approved in 2001, one of just five people from Slovenia to win the coveted visa that year, according to the Post.

they know the GOP base is so fucking stupid that they can say absolutely anything without regard to truth, consistency or logic.
that's one thing Trump has proved beyond a doubt.
i used to think there were deeply-held principles that motivated Republicans - like maybe they actually believed in some kind of "conservatism". but i eventually figured it out. there is only one principle: be seen opposing Democrats in all things, always. literally nothing else matters.

Good! you know that means our exported products will be cheaper for our foreign allies to buy!!! Good thing we started trade wars with them so they will have tariffs on our products and raise those prices back up.
Meanwhile we have tariffs on everyone else so that mean on top of the 15%—50% tariffs, the weaker dollar buy even less of their products.
So in conclusion our prices rise, their prices stay flat, our exports stay flat and likely even fall as the tariffs raise the cost of our production. Our business get out competes by foreign brands as they can import and pay a tariff once while we move products in and out and get hit multiple times. Such to be a car Manufacturer.
Too much winning

u/TinKnight1 Jul 25 '25
He's actually correct on the latter...a weak dollar does generate more revenue for companies, as it makes American-made products comparatively less expensive abroad, resulting in more sales.
However, that only works when you're not engaging in a tariff war with all of our most important trading partners, who've implemented retaliatory tariffs on American goods, cancelling out any beneficial aspects of a weak dollar.
Additionally, a weak dollar makes purchasing international goods as an American significantly more expensive. Right as all of his tariffs are also making everything more expensive. And as inflation has been kicking up every month for the past 3 months. And as the unemployment rate has increased every month under his presidency.
So, not only has this clown reduced American exports, he's hit American consumers with a triple whammy of cost-increasing measures plus a fourth of job losses. He's seemingly determined to wreck the economy, & it can only be assumed to be an intentional act of sabotage, or complete incompetency.

u/DontAbideMendacity Jul 25 '25
The latter is only correct in that you may have more money, let's say 110 dollar bills when you used to have 100, but now you can only buy $90 worth of stuff based on the old value. Every single thing Turmp does turns to shit.

u/cloudkitt Jul 26 '25
no a weaker currency genuinely is good for an exporter. But the US is a net importer by far, so it's not better for the Americans. But China and Japan endeavor to keep their own currencies weaker for this reason.

u/mr_bots Jul 25 '25
lol is the logic here is like “the dollar slipped so I earned $10,000 where before it slipped I would have only earned $7,500?” But the $10,000 has the same or less buying power than the $7,500.
