What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

alchemist33

I've seen two main options put forward on this forum, (1) that he'll remain a political force until the 2024 primaries start up and the Republicans have to take him seriously or (2) that he'll be so mired in litigation that he'll have no time for politics.

There are of course other options for the next 4 years - prison, exile, death or ill-health (he isn't young and he's been under stress), no politics but a business success, emperor. But it'd be an interesting exercise for people to lay their cards on the table now and make their predictions.

Personally I think his political influence will die quickly after the Capitol fiasco but someone else will emerge in 2 years, once the memories have waned, to be the standard-bearer for the QAnon wing.

Or you'd think that he probably removed himself from the day to day operations of his businesses and not aware of these things because he was following the law... and oh, I don't know... busy running the country, doing battle with the lying mainstream media, and dealing with the democrats unethical tactics and obstructionist ways.

Is tha why he spent all his time at Mar a Lago? And why he refused to let the press inspect that table full of blank Manila folders with blank sheets of paper in them, and ultimately why he didn’t put his assets into a blind trust, which would have otherwise insulated him from such trouble? Yeah, can’t see how he brought this on himself /s

Jimmy Carter is giggling all the way to his bowl of boiled peanuts.

Eh, how long does the crime go back though? If it goes back a decade or two, claiming ignorance is pretty incredible. Particularly for a supposedly amazing business man.:pac: Can you clarify, should Al Capone only have been subject to a fine? By your logic, a slap on the wrists was all that should have happened.

Weirdly, ethics of Giuliani and Trump don't seem to matter to you.

Going back 15 years?

But if so, if Trump didn't know about it, he should speak out about Weisselberg and testify against him. I mean, if he wasn't aware of these things, then Weisselberg was doing this on his own back, using Trump's businesses and money. He's completely sullied Trump's name, business and reputation. Shouldn't Trump be fully in support of the charges against Weisselberg? Trump's own children might face investigation/charges because of this, and I assume you believe they had no idea about it either. They should offer their full help and support in the charges against Weisselberg.

I wish Republicans and their supporters would just stop trying to spoof their way through everything.

Some government entities within New York... YES! I think that's plainly evident.

Trump wouldn't do what you think he had the power to do. He couldn't put a stop to his political enemies.... Trump's not a democrat, you know.

And yet Trump was happy doing business in NY for years. Called it his home. All the while it was a corrupt session pit?

And when he got POTUS power, he was unable to do anything?

What would be the point of supporting such an ineffectual person? He said he would drain the swamp yet you agree he is powerless.

That is really odd

One of the reasons I support Trump is because he didn’t abuse the office of President like Obama and Biden, who weaponized government agencies like the IRS, the FBI, the CIA, the DOJ, and the NSA, amongst others to target his political enemies. I guess that makes Trump an ineffectual President in your eyes. Sad really that you would think so.

Except when it came to spying on reporters and such,

“ Donald Trump mounted an overnight Twitter blitz demanding to jail his political enemies and call out allies he says are failing to arrest his rivals swiftly enough.”

“ Attorney General William Barr very publicly threatened to resign if President Trump did not stop publicly telling him who to prosecute. Barr might not be a believer in conventional norms of political noninterference in the Justice Department, but he does believe in the appearance of it. He is willing to investigate Trump’s enemies, but he understands that if he does so after Trump publicly orders up the charges, it looks rather bad. Barr has been “persistently vexed” by the tweets, considered a round of February demands to go easy on loyal Trump accomplice Roger Stone “something of a last straw,” and told the Washington Post, via a “person familiar with Barr’s thinking,” that “He has his limits.””

I hear ya. One of the reasons I support Trump is because he runs a marathon every day while also picking up litter along the way. So sad that the fake news never reported it.

More from nymag: Excerpt from the new book by Michael Wolff about the last days of the #2xIMPOTUS WH, and how out of it the #2xIMPOTUS actually was. A lot of us were saved by the fact that the #2xIMPOTUS was lazy, stupid and incompetent, even when he wanted to 'overturn the vote' or whatever he thought Pence would do on 6 January.

Well well well. A Scranton PA dentist has been charged with sexual assault of a patient after investigators got him to admit it in a phone conversation the were recording with the victim where he admitted to the crime and offered free dental care as a settlement.

What does this have to do with Trump? Well Dr. Albert Hazourri was/is also a paying member at Mar a Lago

“Stand up, Albert. Where the hell are you, Albert? Stand up, Albert. He’s a good golfer, but I’m actually a better golfer than him. Right?”

Hazourri somewhat infamously penned a note for Trump on mar a Lago letterhead addressing Trump as “Dear King” while peddling the special interests of the American Dental Association.

Trump seems to attract the best people. If Dems all hung out in membership clubs like this we’d never hear the end of it and rightly so.

Tell me how

He literally fired people who ran these agencies who wouldn't do what he wanted them to do.....

P.S. I know we're all responding to you and maybe you think that means you're engaging in debate with a whole raft of people who have no time for Trump but whatever about everyone else, I don't see this as debate. I see this as someone completely detached from reality spouting nonsense that he read on a Trump fan page somewhere and people making sure that such nonsense does not go unchallenged.

P.P.S. I'm also editing my posts before I send them to remove the swear words your arguments provoke me to type.

Trump will continue with the witch hunt spiel because he considers it the best thing for his politics and brand at this point. If and when it gets to the point of saving his own arse, he will completely turn on that CFO.

You are mistaken: Biden runs the presidency from the White *House* not a members only club in Florida, or a “whites only” club elsewhere.

I'm not mistaken, I didn't mention where Biden runs the presidency from at all. The point is that yes Democrat's belong to member only clubs also. One of those clubs just happens to be an all white club. ( but you know that already)

Are they the president? Plenty of Republican lawmakers I wager also partake in clubs elsewhere. However there’s no comparison there to the grift at mar a Lago.

Carlson previously tried to claim that Trump’s own FBI staged the insurrection citing “Person 1 Person 2” etc in charging documents as ‘like Uhm, clearly FBI agents’

Unfortunately for tucker Person 15 just pleaded guilty in federal court and his name has now been unmasked. More to follow. Person 15 is an Oathkeeper who stands guilty of criminal conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding.

I thought Obama’s biggest crime was putting mustard on that cheeseburger? Glenn Beck might have had a piece in it and how it was a signal flare to bring back the Hitler Youth or something

Let me guess. Nobody is talking about it, its being hidden by a left democratic system but you know all about it.

Somehow, these master manipulators, are happy enough for you to not only know, but actually blow the whistle on them.

All the while for 4 years, POTUS Trump was powerless to do anything about it.
