Trump v Biden 2020,The insurrection (pt 6) Read OP

Lets just imagine for some mad reason the election is overturned, and the traitor insurrectionists get there way, what would Trump do over the next 4 years that would actually make America great again.

Considering that he did exactly the opposite in the last 4 years.

Nothing. And that's the crux of this. Trump doesn't provide any answers or solutions to the anger that the MAGAs have but he sure does provide an outlet for them to be angry and have people to be angry at and he riles them up to be angry. No solutions, just anger and delusion.

Ultimately this is going to be one of the biggest things to affect Trump now.
Things are starting to affect him directly outside of the presidency.
Losing the PGA is massive for him, Tripe taking away the payment processing. These are things that affect Trumps business interests and these will have the longest-lasting effect on him personally.

That's not even what many of these 'post-Trumpists' want, though. They want all the events of the last few months (and years, in reality) to be brushed under the carpet so that there are no consequences.

This is it. Many long standing Republicans hitched their wagons onto Trump's troll train, happy enough to ignore the damage done by the cavalcade ploughing though civility along the way, and now realise that it's actually led them directly into the territory of sedition, terrorism and an actual attempt to overthrow democracy. They realise it's gone too far, and have to unhitch and reverse. But instead of admitting they were wrong and actually doing something about repairing the damage they caused, they now want everyone else to just ignore the devastation the train ride caused, and let them reset on some other track.

I suspect pre-emptive pardons to Meadows who was on that call, Graham and others.

The truth will out.

Can't be certain on this, but I have heard that you apparently can't pardon treason, sedition or insurrection.

MANY ordinary American citzens are acting like this too. A typical projection of their malady is where they apply all blame in some cases to machinations and skullduggery of the US and Global Media, both printed and online as it it were some coriography on the media part.

I think it will be known as the "Trump stink". Very hard to get off and has detrimental effects to your political and professional life apparently.

I think there's a growing attitude that once Trump goes, it's time to move on and not hear from him.

Let's see if US media can resist themselves. I'm not hopeful.

I suspect that we'll continue to hear a lot about him , but much much less from him.

The media will absolutely cover all of his legal cases etc. etc. , but the majority will not give him a platform for his ramblings however.

11-01-2021 01:39PM

All the signs have been there that Trump has never planned to leave the presidency and its now playing out

He has been posting a really bizzare meme on his twitter for a few years now Trump 2020, Trump 2024, Trump 2028 and so on.

Absolutely surreal.

More than anything else, that's the one thing that's going to eat away at him.

He had the PGA Championship at his venue and they're taking it away from him. He's going to lose his fcuking mind.

And he can't even go onto Twitter and rant about it! Muahahaha...

I don't like this kind of stuff tbh.

If businesses voluntarily withdraw from their relationships with Trump that's one thing, but to shame businesses into doing it is another.

I've never understood/agreed with the focus on Trump the businessman (although of course he massively egged that pudding himself). I just focus on his as a politician, and I'd regard him as a disaster of one.

If there are court cases to follow, so be it.

But the creating of a list of business with some connections to Trump which will then be pressured to break those connections isn't something I want to see at all.

Businesses benefit from associations with celebrities and politicians etc, and so they have to go with the good and the bad.

Trump is toxic, not because he mispoke or was caught drink driving, but because he incited a riot, tried to over turn a fair election and people are pi$$ed.

The Trump Stink is real and if it wasn't, companies would ignore the outcry until it blew over.

isn't he going to start a TV station? :P

I'd be quite happy to have a list of businesses he's involved in so that I can make up my mind myself whether I want to support them (and by extension him) financially or not. I don't see the problem with this, it's merely information. People can then choose to act on that information or not.

But they went into business to get something out of him and particularly him being president.

So it stands to reason they should be held to account when that association is entirely negative like say for example inciting a coup.

Outside of the Golf Courses , almost all of his "Properties" are actually licence deals where other parties own the buildings but they licence the Trump name.

The value of the Trump brand is massively, permanently damaged now. They'll all be looking to see how they can get out of those deals now.

I would expect that a significant number of buildings that have a Trump sign over the door will be taking them down fairly soon.

It appears a bit hypocritcial + late in the day to me. Corporate America lining up to kick Trump and his patsies. They've enabled the US Republican party's descent into madness for decades now because they'll cut their tax bill + slash workers rights and regulations in the US and that is all that matters, right?

"Big Tech" companies have been only too willing to make money off the virtual bile (i.e. lies and hatred) spewed out by the wingnuts + wash their hands of it when it bleeds into violence in the real world.

Seems like since the events last week they've gotten a bit scared and may be starting to realise how badly they have fouled up their own nest in the US.

I am not at all a conspiracy theory type person

BUT, one that was mentiuoned here....

Trump deliberately installed as President to show people just how mad our world could get....shocking them into trusting in more stable human beings to "look after" us all......

If it turns out to be just a list of businesses so that people can make up their own minds, that's one thing, but let's be honest here, it is definitely going to turn into a public 'Why are you renting office space from Trump?'-style campaign.

Maybe in some cases. But not in every case. A company that has been renting office space from Trump* for 20 years isn't in it for that reason.

*just an example, it could apply to people who have any kind of relationship with a Trump business.

Isn't that always the way?

For a large swathe of the Corporate world as long as they are legally making money, they are happy.

Now though they are seeing huge risk to their revenues in being associated with Trump and his high profile inner circle.

Cynical yes , but it's the reality of the world they operate in.

Morals are secondary to Profits.

I get the hate for Trump but seems unfair to target these companies. They're just renting office space and may have been doing long before the whole Trump ****show began.

Yep, and it'll kill him having to watch it happen.

Even those high up in the Trump organisation now will be strongly advising a change of brand, remove the Trump name from it and call it something else or the business will go down the toilet.

Afaik, Trump himself is no longer totally in control so it won't be down to him, his children have some leadership stakes in it. But the ego is so strong, his refusal to drop the Trump name could tear the whole thing apart.
