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

The Dems are calling Musk 'President Musk'. This sounds like a great way of annoying Trump into doing something rash. Hopefully.

The Georgia Court of Appeals has removed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from an election subversion case against President-elect Donald Trump.

The long-awaited decision, raises questions about whether the case can move forward in court. The appeals court found that Willis’ office can’t prosecute the case, so a new special prosecutor would need to be appointed for the case to continue.

Willis could likely to actually end up in jail instead of Trump. Karma is a bitch.

Why should she end up in jail?

For hurting Donnie's feelings of course. He'll try to make it a Federal offense.

I'm half-joking by the way. If Donnie does actually try to go after people who used proper and legal instruments to charge him or otherwise critique him, we will all be here to remind the "centrists" that this is what a Facist looks like.

"Oh! He's only a jokester!" "Oh! He just wants to have strong borders and economy!" "Oh…he only wants the Sudetenland…what's wrong with that?"

Way smarter than your opponents though which is what we have here. In excess of US$1bln of a campaign and his opponents were humbled and humiliated. But like the petulant children they are the Democrats just lash out at everyone else and never think of looking in the mirror at their own bumbling failures. Not surprising though coming from a mindset that thinks that everything wrong is society's fault - never taking personal responsibility for anything. No wonder the youth love voting blue.

Trump is just a puppet, a blowhard front man for the likes of 'President' Musk, big money donors and the Project 2025 fascists who are all trying to play him like a fiddle.
Doesn't have a clue what is being put in front of him, just reading a script and he can barely do that coherently at times.

Too soon?

I am so hoping the government shuts down for Xmas due to the meddling of Combover Caligula and the Pillage People. Useless GQP taking direction via twitter. Let the misery of Trump 2.0 begin, it'll be a heck of a downward ride. Can't wait till he follows through on cutting funding for the VA, too, should be privatized etc. all those retired servicemen I know who adore Trump gonna enjoy their Xmas crow dinners.

I'm of a similar mind. Both Donnie and The Bell-end King of the Crypto-Bros have two critical (and functionally fatal) flaws that pretty much guarentee some kind of trouble. Both are self-involved narcessists where no-one else compares to them, and both would give 2 planks a run for their money in terms of thickness. (They are not smart).

If either contained any form of introspection or tact, they'd bury their egos to keep a useful arrangement going. But they won't. Musk is in this arrangement so that the house of cards his current wealth is built upon doesn't come crashing around him. If he can get the US Tax-payer to keep proping up his rocket business and Starlink, he can keep himself trucking. He might even survive the eventual collapse of Tesla upon with which most of his percieved wealth is calculated. If he were smart, he'd try to keep Donnie sweet…but he likely won't.

Donnie being Donnie, he's going to do something to snipe at Elon's ego and trigger a fight. This is bound to happen if people keep referring to Musk as the "Real President". Donnie is the Special Big Boy in this relationship, not the wierd stoner nerd with a funny accent!

My guess is that this is only a matter of when and not if they fall out.

Trump says if there has to be a government shutdown, let it begin when Biden is in office

From CNN's Alayna Treene

Donald Trump on Friday morning said if there has to be a government shutdown, he wants it to occur while Joe Biden — not he — is president.

“If there is going to be a shutdown of government, let it begin now, under the Biden Administration, not after January 20th, under ‘TRUMP,’” the president-elect posted to Truth Social.

“This is a Biden problem to solve, but if Republicans can help solve it, they will!” he said.

Does Trump think that he can somehow blame Biden for this Republican sh*tshow?

Well, Musk is not half a thick as Trump and if you think that this nonsense from the Republicans will somehow favour them, then you are living in cloud-cuckoo land.

Let he without sin cast the first stone…

All jokes aside, it was that hubris and arrogance that tanked Harris and will very likely see Vance win 2 terms after Trump.

I'm really not seeing that… Vance might end up in the throne if Donald dies in office, but he's not getting voted in unless he develops a personality.

Your math is way off. He won by 2.29 million votes, not 225k.

As for your 'largely ignorant electorate' statement, by gosh the left are thick as planks having learned absolutely nothing from HRC's 'basket of deplorables' outburst. But I suppose there was always an air of 'the peasants revolting' when the champagne socialists don't get their way, viewing the voters with contempt.

Humbled, yeah I was probably too kind with that word. Humiliated is probably more fitting.

Harris had only a month? She announced her running on July 24th over three months out from election day.

Trump had Fox News, now list the news networks batting for Harris. There is a long list. Twitter was there for both sides - however there was uproar when Musk backed Trump. Jack Dorsey backing every Democrat candidate in the years prior was fine though. Amazing that. And thats before we get in to how Twitter 'shadow banned' conservative voices, etc…

The trouble with the left is they were too fond of stirring the pot, not too fond of licking the spoon though, are ye?
