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

My friend, you are talking total rubbish. Trumps joke about taking over Canada has no bearing on this, none whatsoever. If you genuinely believe this, I would consult a doctor.

What particular left-wing policy are you most looking to be removed/reversed?

See Biden & the Democrats trying to do as much damage as he can by banning offshore drilling in US waters just to hamper the Trump administration. Trump will hopefully reverse it immediately.

Its going to be like something out of Scanners.

Trump has no policies though according to so many liberals….

On the face of it, it seems difficult to reverse. Under the relevant Act that Biden used, a President can add regions to the 'banned drilling' list, but cannot remove them. They can only be removed via Congress and the courts, which is always a slow and cumbersome process.

edit: An added complication is that people generally don't want off-shore drilling off their coasts, so even in a GOP coastal state (e.g., Florida) it tends to be something that Republican politicians are against.

He is going to lower food prices - oh wait, he has already backtracked on that one.

He is going to ensure that jobs are for Americans first - No wait again, he wants to give anyone who passes a degree course a H1B visa and green card

He will build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it - sorry that was 2016

He is going to cut the price of gas by 50% - oh wait, he doesn't control the price and supply isn't the issue so little he can actually do

Replace Obamacare? - Silly me, turns out healthcare is complicated

Sort out the Ukraine war in 24 hours - that would have worked, so easy, but it's going way more difficult just after he won the election so that might take some time.

Infrastructure week anyone?

Trudeau left coz the thought of having to deal with the trump sh1t show again didn’t appeal to him.

I see this is now a thing

All that you say is true, but is it possible that Trump is about to make our world even more 'topsy turvy' than it is right now. That people do not realise what's going to hit them after his inauguration. just wondering!!!!

The only popping heads on display are Elon Musk because people challenge him on Twitter, Farage because he has to choose between Musk and not removing all presence of Reform not being a racially motivated Party, and the MAGA'ts who are offended at Musk valuing money over "cultural heritage".

The Conservative Right is a shambles. And Trump is a big part of why that is the case.

"The Conservative Right is a shambles" - spot on!

Just look at the huge shift in voter sentiment across the west…they definitely have no momentum and people have signalled what they want is more left wing woke policies going forward.

Renamed Orangeland.

Ah yes, the ubiquitous "woke" term. That catch all phrase to provide camouflage over the lack of argument or context.

When you look at how the GOP "delivered" during Trumps last Term, they didn't, or as they held the house for the last 2 years, they didn't, or similar with the Tory led 14 yr government, they didn't, or finding the sunlit uplands after Brexit, they didn't and the charlatans that represented the right during these phases, Trump, McCarthy, Johnson, Truss, Farage et al you'll see what I was referring to when using the term shambles.

You'll see it, but you won't acknowledge it I'm betting.

Taoiseach Simon Harris has defended referring to Donald Trump as an “awful gowl” in what he described as a “lighthearted” radio interview more than four years ago.

Pathetic from Harris. He mocked Trump and backed Kamala in the election and now he is trying to play it down.

If he was sincere, he would stick to his convictions.

From a security and natural resources point of view the admission of Greenland to the USA does make sense. Greenlanders might freely choose it themselves.
