Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 18/03/25

Apparently he wants ABC's broadcast licence revoked because of the way he was moderated by its staffers.

'well sweetie you can't always have both scoops of ice cream'

Trump forced to pay a deposit up front for his Tucson event - partially to cover the bill he skipped out on the last time he was in town of over $80k

My guess is they have several setups at this stage, so it might inconvenience them but wouldn't be the end of the world unless multiple locations started doing it. Is he still not paying city bills though? Havent heard about it happening again recently.

So what are people’s thoughts on this?

It was we’ll documented that Trumps family were taking a step back in terms of supporting his campaign this time around- Melania is rarely seen although her book coming out October will probably do her talking for her - let’s see how that lands.

So question is- would Trump be doing better right now (albeit he’s unfortunately not doing badly) in the polls on his own, or would that “united family” image have gained him more of a lead?

Yeah, it's an interesting one.

It might have gained him a small bit, as Melania could reach out to the Stepford set and their wannabe's who might be veering towards Harris over her stance on abortion.

I think it's his daughter, Ivanka that's costing him more. Her absence is rather telling as she would be seen as the most intelligent one. I personally think that she couldn't keep defending her father's bullsh*t anymore. She would have been good at courting a younger vote, but she doesn't need the stress. She has her own empire to run.

Trump doesn't really have anything that could resemble a "united family" and arguably never has:

Fred Trump: A hardened business figure who likely only approved of Donnie's lack of scruples when it came to running the property business. Donnie was likely a source of embarresment for Fred, especially when he had to buy a load of gambling chips to keep Donnie's casino afloat. I don't expect he had a good relationship there.

Ivana Trump: Ivana might of actually liked Donnie back in the day, but made the cardinal sin of showing up Donnie's fecklessnes by actually being good at running his businesses. Eye-candy trophy-wives aren't supposed to be better at business than a man's man like Donnie, so that relationship ended. Somewhat tragic that even in death Donnie manages to disrespect her remains by dumping them on a golf course…that he's likely to lose one day.

Erik & Donnie Jr: This time around Donnie gets to be the "Fred Trump" and try to get his dimwit sons to out-b*stard eachother to earn his respect. Alas their mother's intelligence has been overridden in their DNA by Donnie's world-class fecklessness. This isn't the most constructive relationship.

Ivanka Trump: The most interesting, but by far the most distrubing. You never letch over your own kids, this is in-built in most parents which just goes to show how corrupted Donnie is. Also, putting her in the White House felt like giving her some demented "Summer Job" working at the parent's shop or something. The Executive Estate of a nucular-armed state…giving roles to unqualified (and often uncleared) children of the presidency. It was both sad and infuriating when Donnie tried to cart her around to create some profile of her as a potential future President. Frankly, going silent is the smartest move for Ivanka and if I were her I'd keep it up.

"Mrs" Melania Trump: Ah Melania…the most transparent relationship on this list. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when and how their marrage ends. Melania may be in the long haul in the hope of outliving him, but I'm going to guess that one more election loss is all it takes.

Donnie does not have a family. Donnie has the women that he essentially "purchased" and the children who happen to share a portion of his DNA. A man like Donnie, who is so self obsorbed in himself, does not have it in him to care about others in a way that would normally come to a husband or father. There is no point in showing a "united family". I expect even MAGAworld would know that is fiction.

On the subject of Ivana, there's no other possible explanation other than she knew too much, she was going to expose him on something and she had to be gotten rid of.

This was never in a million years an accident. There was a "helping hand" at play. Him unceremoniously throwing her body in a hole on his golf course for tax purposes was just his final "fcuk you" to her.

He had her bumped off. I won't even entertain suggestions to the contrary.

ooh I think I know a devastating October surprise I would want

stop getting our hopes up 😀

Ha! Speaking of which ….shes only gone and found “mindfulness” - how more unTrump like can ya get ???😀

Definately a secret non-Trump supporter if ever there was one 🤪

Trump, DonTheCon™ is on a perfectly rational posting spree over on his shíthole 🤨

He is now launching his own Crypto Bank.

On Twitter Spaces not on X spaces.

DonTheCon™ won't be participating in any more debates. That's despite Jason Miller confirming on CNN yesterday morning that the NBC debate on the 25/9 would go ahead.

Yep
