Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 06/06/25

Not a chance he'd try to moderate that or get them to dial back even slightly..

He’s no John McCain. McCain dragged me towards his camp doing that before, you know, real qualities of good leadership? But clearly many people were looking for someone to confirm their echo chambers for them, not lead them. (Then he went with Palin, and wanted to double down on Iraq and Afghanistan, “maybe 100 years” oof, America was tired boss, even if that was just posturing for political capital)

Trump fell out with everyone. His VP actively ran against him this time. Even his daughter doesn't want to get involved again.

If Trump can only achieve things when he has everyone on his side and is willing to do whatever he wants, that is not much of a leader. Compare that with Biden who managed to get many bi-partisan agreements done, including the legislation on border which would have made big impacts on immigration but was pulled on Trumps command because he didn't want America to solve the problem

Hell don’t even have to wait till then - he could suffer a medical episode in the next 5 months - what would happen then I wonder?

Both houses voted for that poorly written tax cut. Then, the last centrist House leader, Ryan, bailed having gotten what he wanted and McCarthy took over.

The GOP's absolute inability to pass coherent legislation was not due to them sabotaging CFTrump - it was due to ineptitude and the elevation of wingnuts like Boebert, Greene, Gosar, Gaetz and others to Congress and their own infighting. What little got done, was via executive order, usually those lasted a bit until being rejected by the courts.

The one thing that made the USA a little better off during CFTrump's administration, was the GOP's ineptitude and CFTrump's laziness. "Executive time" all day long my hole. Naps and golf. All CFTrump could motivate himself to do, was go to rallies. A POTUS serious about being POTUS wouldn't have announced his reelection campaign right after being sworn in.

But, that's why the GOP have CFTrump, he's a useful tool, all he does is campaign for POTUS, he's not interested in governing. Trips overseas to fawning dictatorships are what his idea of foreign policy is. Wanted his own Bastille-day parade. Stuff like that. Legislation? Reaching bipartisan consensus on anything? That's work. Not for him, that's for the little people.

CFTrump…?

They could just say that. Looks cringe to codeword it

Agreed.

And it looks like another poster who has never heard of Project 2025. People really should educate themselves.

He disgraced the office in multiple ways, was the first president to attempt a coup and given his exposure as a disgusting racist, should never be allowed anywhere near the office.

Don't forget 'executive time'

Thank you - thought it was just me. Or he had a defective keyboard.
