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

Any news on all those animals being eaten in Ohio?

For the Trump supporters. What are his policies or things he’s done in politics that made you a supporter of his?

Exactly how is the US going to pay for Greenland? 1st off what is it even worth?

According to Trump it is vital for security and shipping so not Exactly a good starting negotiation position.

They we have the claimed resources buried beneath the ice. As global warming continues they will eventually be able to be mined. So again, trillions will be the start.

Where is this miney coming from? Trump has promised tax cuts, lower food prices, cutting gas price by 50%.

Adding trillons more onto the national debt will mean massive inceease in interest costs which means less money.

TThey can't even afford to rebuild their crumbling infrastructure. They haven't even got the resources to put out wildfires in their own country.

But apparently they can buy Greenland?

Money is never a problem for the US as long as they have capacity in the economy to do things like infrastructure and better firefighting etc.. Risk is they have no capacity and start spending big and that feeds inflation. Thankfully for Donny he cares not a jot about investing in infrastructure and other public good unless it directly helps him or his "friends".

Buying Greenland require no economic capacity, just green backs which he can just print. Can't see it happening though unless he goes all last century and just takes it which is a while new ball game.

"Printing more money is a huge no-no given the focus MAGA put on cutting inflation."

You don't actually believe that, do you? 😀
First of all you would have to believe that the MAGA block, or the republicans as a whole, actually care about the well being of the country and the people. Instead of believing that they would gladly burn the place to the ground if it nets them any monetary gain whatsoever.
You know exactly that they don't give a single sh1t about anything and all their promises and policies are utterly meaningless. They are thieves, crooks, lairs, morons and grifters. And a few extremist nutbags.
Whatever they say is exactly the same as the accomplice of the pickpocket that distracts you by telling you some bullsh!t story whilst waving their arms about so you don't notice that the other guy is pulling your wallet out of your pocket.

They will then blame woke, or the dems, or all those mean countries around the world that don't want to play nice with them and all their disciples will holler, clap, stamp their feet and cheer hysterically as they're losing their pensions, healthcare, worker's rights and everything costs 20% more. But at least all them gays, wimmin and brown people have it worse.

As an aside, I'm pretty sure the republicans have no intention of doing anything about immigration, except erode human rights for immigrants. My theory, they will create laws that won't stop it, but will make sure that immigrants have zero rights and can be exploited as slaves. And a few few laws to make life worse for women, gays or trans people. No reason, just red meat for the base, so they will feel their war on woke is being fought. Many people won't care beyond that, even to their own detriment.
We've seen it with Corona. People gladly paid with their lives so they could stick with the delusion. This is the state of humanity right now.

Greenland should agree to the sale on one condition… That Trump can point it out on a map

Rudy settles his defamation case, no amount disclosed but likely as not, not even close the $189 million+ that he owed. Gets to keep his Yankees rings and some property.

He should take a look at himself and ask, 'was it worth it?' From America's Mayor to penniless, pathetic freak, a lamprey on CFTrump's bloated behind. Just another prop in Dictator Don's reality show that's been discarded. Apparently Trump posted "Save Rudy" to his vanity site with a link to a donation site, which raised $189k.

I agree with your points, I'm just picking up on the money printing statement. It's a rational argument, but these are not rational times.

Trump family have plans for 2 major gold courses and a casino……

😂😂

Schrödinger's fans - if the economy is good, it's down to Trump coming into office. If the economy is bad, it's Biden's fault.

Rinse and repeat for any MAGA talking point.

They should announce they are also open to offers from China. Get a wee bidding war going on even with no intention to sell.

That's exactly what you and the rest of the Biden fans did for the last 4 years.

Btw Trump and his team played a big part of getting the deal done even the State Department admits that.

SCOTUS has ruled the ban can stay as it doesn't affect US citizens rights under the 1st amendment. This particular proposed TikTok ban is one passed by a majority of both parties working together in congress. Trump has said he will block the ban or get congress to pass an amendment to the constitution allowing TikTok stay available to the citizens.
