He's talking about bringing back Paul Manafort as well..
Make America Great Again, Again, Again.
Can you post a link to this poll? TIA
He certainly had a better first term than Biden.
Indeed. In his own bigly brain, he had the bestest first term ever.
He had excellent ratings, even managing to beat the season premiere of The Batchelor.
Biden is currently 5/4 with the bookies after shortening from 9/4 in November.
Certainly had more impeachments, more associates arrested, more findings by special counsel of obstruction of justice, more incidents of being laughed at in front of the U.N., more (8bn) added to the national debt, more public embarrassment such as the president of Mexico telling him to **** off when talking about getting that country to build the wall, more campaign promises left unfulfilled (the email lady never went to jail), arguably the worst response to COVID of any world leader...
but you tell me how Trump did better...
You see, I have this weird metric whereby I judge people equally.
My life is no more important than a Palestinian life.
Joe Biden has heartily supported and bankrolled the greatest documented genocide in human history.
That surpasses anything Trump came close to doing while in office.
I appreciate you place the life of Americans above Palestinians but, you're in the vast global minority, kid.
Ah. Right.
So you're comparing a president who did not have to deal with a middle east crisis to one who did. Not exactly how compare and contrast works.
But as a thought exercise....
How can you tell for sure that Trump would have done a solitary thing differently?
Look at Ukraine. He said Russia could do what it likes, if it were up to him.
Do you think Trump would deviate from American policy and cut Israel off?
Trump doesn't give a **** about American lives. You think he'd care about someone from a different country? That's absolutely bonkers.
Show me where he has had one humanitarian feeling in his life.
Trump is transactional. The only thing he'd do is get as much out of Israel as he could.
Greatest documented genocide in human history?
1,150,376
The amount of Americans who died from COVID.
How many of them were due to the actions and non actions of Trump is up for debate.
I don't give a f*ck about any thought exercises, I care about Palestinians being massacred.
Joe Biden is massacring Palestinians.
Of course it f*cking is.
Did you just post this as a placeholder until you could return with a meaningful contribution?
'the greatest documented genocide in human history.' doubt it makes the top 100.
Of course you would.
"the greatest documented genocide in human history."
🧐 Not to dismiss what Israel is doing (it's genocide), however…. Do you …. need a primer? Greatest is doing a lot of subjectivity there. https://genocideeducation.org/resources/modern-era-genocides/
Trump is a huge supporter of Israel and has spoken out many times in thee favour he even moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem. Trump has been very explicit in his backing of Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians saying you got to finish the problem. He is a monster.

Well, unsurprisingly prosecutors have chased Trump's attack on the judges daughter as a violation of the gag order.

Like a GQP presidency would do anything to reduce spending on US weapons manufacture. The Middle East purchased 47% of US arms exports 2016-2020, the majority to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

I absolutely agree that Biden (and the entire US Givernment) have helped facilitate and protect Israel's war on Palestine, have failed the people of Palestine, and their actions around the entire conflict are largely reprehensible.
But the idea that Trump wouldn't have done worse is laughable. Trump would have helped Israel even more to wipe out the Palestinians under the guise of "I just want the war to end and for people to stop dying", by just helping Israel to win and destroy the Palestinian people to the point where there are no more of them for Israel to kill in the region. Then of course, Jared would be straight in with a set of blueprints for his new developments, and Trump would have been crowing about helping the end the war.
Trump didn't want the GOP to vote through the Border bill because it benefitted him and his election chances, rather than any effect it may have on the American people. He downplayed Covid for so long because it benefitted him, rather than any effect it would have on the American people. He tried to overturn the results of an election he lost because it benefitted him, rather than any effect it would have on the American people.
Anyone really think he'd be doing what's best for the Palestinian people instead of what benefitted himself?
The simple pointer towards Trump's inability or criminal negligence in terms of policing the Israel conflict was in both his deployment of Jared Kushner, and recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The latter an especially deleterious action.
The bad faith like to trumpet Trump's lack of wars but any notion he'd possess the gravitas, patience or even handedness to bring this all back from the brink, or implement the mythical two state solution, isn't just naive it's idiotic.
We've heard Trump tell he'd wave on Russia if it invaded a NATO country not paying its dues, like the mobster he behaves as; what possible chance is there he'd challenge Netanyahu and not simply accelerate the problem?
I’d bet trump couldn’t point out Israel on a map. Let alone Gaza or the West Bank.

Lost the Steele lawsuit appeal. So much winning, now owes 300k ukp.
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/29/politics/donald-trump-steele-dossier-appeal/index.html
In fairness, the movement of the capital to Jerusalem has been American policy prior to trump, he just lacked the knowledge of the geopolitics to actually go through with it
Absolutely, how much TV or social media coverage / content occurs about an event is a stupid way to judge a president of a different country.
It's also a stupid reason to use to try and infer racism from other posters on this site.
Mod - Thread has gone seriously off topic.
There is a thread discussing Hamas and Israel, go discuss that topic there unless you're banned from it, in which case this thread is NOT a suitable proxy
I said "precedent that would be abused under a future corrupt president" - so Trump isn't the only possible victor in a presidential election who could abuse the prosecutorial process.
The federal judges who Trump appointed are far more level-headed than him.
