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

Giving Russia part of what they want just means they are arm and invade again in 6 months time. That is all that means. They will then immediately demand peace again with the expectation that they get more land to appease them and then you see were that is going. This only ends when Russia has either been defeated or conquered every smaller non Nato country nearby.

There is a reason Finland suddenly jumped into Nato because they were well aware that Russia finishes off the Ukraine they will look for the next vulnerable victim and being part of Nato is part of that.

You have a great headcannon of what Trump would do. None of which is borne out of any evidence of how he was pretty well manhandled by Putin in any meeting they had.

What has Biden done that has made the world less safe?

Trump threatened to destroy NK, and pulled out of the Iran deal that had curtailed Iran's move towards a nuclear weapon.

It is funny that many Trump supporters who never tire of wailing about the invasion of migrants from Mexico are more than happy to allow Putin to invade another country and deem it acceptable. Does sovereignty only exist for the US?

Trump is like a 3 year old off his head on sugar running amok having tantrums.

Completely uncontrollable, devoid of any empathy, diplomacy, kindness. Psychopath.. and we have folks on looking for positives. He has none. The chap is a maniac!

Of course. Trump already bent over to Putin in Helsinki so there's no reason whatsoever to expect him to do anything else. It's pretty obvious that he admires the likes of Putin, Kim and Xi for their authoritarian approach. Him saying that he'd have the issue solved within 24 hours is so laughable, it's hard to even know where to start with it.

What good policies did Trump have? Are they in the room with us right now? Did he have any policies at all other than to enrich himself at the expense of everyone and everything else?

just on the trial.

All Trump had to do was turn up. He didn't need to take the stand. No one who knows a jot about cases would blame him for not taking the stand.

All he would have had to do was sit there and look stern. Show some respect to the court and to the plaintiff by attending.

In his deposition, all he had to do was repeat that it was locker room talk.

All he had to do was put on his glasses so as not to mistake his second wife for the plaintiff.

All of those things would have been easy to do and if he had of, I suspect he would have had a considerably better chance of fighting the case.

But of course, he didn't.

Yet somehow, it's all someone else's fault.

He started off covid terribly. Lying about it, playing it down, making political points about Democrat cities and Chinese virus. He called out any governors that shut their state down as only out to get him. He made what was a health issue, and one the US is well capable of dealing with, a political football. He then played down the lockdowns and screamed that they should be lifted by easter.

As the disaster got worse, he got more and more angry about it and made it all about him. He showed zero leadership and xero empathy for anyone who suffered from it.

He response will be studied for many years in how not be a leader in a time of crisis.

Many other world leaders actually achieved some positive outcome from the crisis. People were naturally upset about the impact, but the majority seemed to at least view it as the leaders doing their best in very difficult and unprecedented circumstances. Not Trump. Almost uniquely, Covid was the point that people saw him for what he was. Completely out of his depth and a person incapable of being a leader.

Thinking about it further, the fact that the jury needed to remain anonymous probably gave them a hint as to his character.

Something normally reserved for Mafia bosses...
