Donald Trump discussion Thread IX (threadbanned users listed in OP)

I think he would struggle to last the four years so he could always use the VP spot as a tempter for anybody youngish who may want to challenge him initially.

He won't run unopposed, but realistically I'd only put money on Cotton, Pence, Pompeo, Cruz and maybe the governors Noem and Hogan contesting and Trump would massacre all those nerds. Heck Noem would be running with half an eye on been VP.

It keeps him in the news cycle. That is the start and end of it. There is noting strategic (well not internationally anyway) about it.

Bannon in trouble

“A 2019 American airstrike in Syria that killed at least 70 people, including women and children, may have been a war crime. The U.S. military covered it up.”

Who knows what else they covered up?

It seems that, after his surrender to the Feds, Bannon plans to ask the courts for permission to request to be allowed travel abroad while awaiting trial. Clever move (whomever planned the move to a battleground not chosen by the Govt) to make an issue of his freedom to travel before the courts and upstage any plan the DOJ for his trial, distracting attention from Trumps [past and present] activities. Any other likely defendants for trial on ignoring congress subpoenas would gain if Bannon won a travel freedom case. It'd be impossible to keep any defendant in custody pending trial.

Does anyone know of a good fact-checker site? One F/B site has posted that Rupert Murdoch told a room of News Corp stockholders this week that Don Trump's constant complaining about the 2020 election is getting in the way of conservatives moving their agenda forward, adding that it’s time for him to put on his big boy pants and move on from the the past.

Every single news outlet is reporting it too.

He, apparently, said that Trump is "too focused on the past", which is a pretty milquetoast reproach.

Still, when the owner of Trump's propaganda organ for the last 6 years kinda says shut the fuck up, it's at least a little bit serious.

It's difficult to know exactly what he meant by it as it's a very vague statement.

However, I would imagine that after 60 odd court cases and audits turning up no actual evidence of wrong doing in the last election, a lot of people "on the right" are wanting Trump to quit his bollocks as it's making them all look bad. There's only so much failing propaganda that can be tolerated before it starts to hurt its own side and I would think that that's what Murdoch meant to get across.

The "stolen election" avenue has been exhausted and it is, and always was, a dead end.

And so it begins...

With Kyle Rittenhouse found not guilty on all charges and walking away a free person from the court, I expect Trump to go public on how he supported Rittenhouse and secured his not guilty verdict. As to whether Trump will try to escalate any street events into full blown riots, that remains to be seen. Hopefully some-one will put him in a room without any media devices and lock the door from the outside.
