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

Because she showed up to a Presidential Inauguration in basically fancy dress.

If Donny has warped her mind to the point of lunacy, and who could blame her, then that is important.

A republican representative is calling for that bishop to be added to the deportation list. Don’t hurt my dear leaders feelings. Free speech…what absolute sensitive fannies

Republican US Rep. calls for deportation of Bishop Budd

Yeah, Free Speech blah blah, but not too free, and only for people we like.

because he’s a psychopath with no respect for law, order, democracy. Very very dangerous individual

GOP have introduced a bill to allow Trump to acquire Greenland because the US are "the dominant predator"

Peace President indeed…..

But the reason for that is no globalisation or NATO, or Mexicans. It is the vast inequality inherent in the US system. An inequality that is seemingly applauded by the majority. Even the very mention of higher taxes on those with the most is not only dismissed but derided

The minimum wage hasn't increased in over 10 years but the wealth of the very richest people in the US has skyrocketed. There are still massive issues with healthcare, it leads to a huge amount of personal bankruptcies every year.

Corporate profits have soared, fueling inflation for the working people.

And Trump will not do anything to address any of that. But he has, like in the UK with Brexit, very successfully created the narrative that it is the rest of the world being unfair to them

does mr trump not realise his security depends completely on the security/ police services ?

Where they gonna deport her to? She's from New Jersey!

Collins must be looking for a big job!

For some people, being deported to New Jersey is a fate worse than death. 😁

I think it's extraordinarily fitting that Trump, who is put on a pedestal by the American Christian right, has absolutely no time for forgiveness, understanding or clemency of his enemies or anyone perceived as 'other', and will readily attack anyone asking for same. He and his Christian nationalist followers would be the first to nail Jesus to a cross if he ever did come back.

If there's truth to MAGAs claims, why would they need to lie? Latin American countries emptying their jails sending murderers and rapists apparently. According to you their arguments have merit so why the need to go batshit? Take a look at the front row of the inauguration and you have your answer. The actual people with their feet on Trump voter's throats were sitting there.

The problem this time around is that the people behind him very much do have specific aims that they want to achieve. In this sense, Trump standing for nothing is worse because he's an empty vessel which they place their ideas into. The only potential saving grace would be that power struggles within his circle kind of stymie how much they can get done, but so far, they appear to be disciplined with, what, getting Trump to sign two hundred executive orders in the last day?

In my opinion, this is all probably too far gone. When we're talking about the US president pardoning 1600 people who stormed the Capitol, based on his very lies, and talking about it like it's just another piece of news, then the dystopia is already there, not just approaching.

No sympathy for Bolton, a terrible person. But yes, it illustrates Trump's petty vindictiveness, as if it were needed.
