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

12: Declassifying of Records Concerning the Assassinations of President John. F Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Odd how many think Trump declassifying & releasing this info is important.

Would it not be more of a win against the deep state and malign influence for him to release the Epstein files? Wonder why he hasn't seen fit to do that 🤔

1, 3, 4 and 8 are genuinely laughable in an American context especially with a Trump administration. If most of the people in his cabinet weren't born rich they would be dead or destitute. There is no merit based system in America. Even uttering the word accountability in relation to anything to do with Trump is so tone deaf it hardly bares thinking about.

All your list above proves is it's easy to dupe people using social media echo chambers.

2: Defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government

Lol they don't even know basic biology. Donnie is a woman now according to his gender EO. As for defending women, you're having a laugh 😂

accountability. From a man spending his whole life avoiding it.

don’t know how true it is but in a bizarre twist. I’m hearing that the citizens of Springfield Ohio are now eating the dogs and cats of the migrants that live there. Such is the price of eggs.

I know for a fact there’s no such thing as an X gender. A child could tell you that.

Seems there’s only one angry, bigoted person here..

On points 3 & 4, Trump is someone who referred to the Georgia Secretary of State as an 'enemy of the people' simply for doing his job with respect to the 2020 election. Because of this, I have absolutely no confidence that Trump will not use Schedule F to purge the US federal government of all those 'disloyal' to Trump, even if this 'disloyalty' stems from doing their job to the best of their expertise and their conscience, should that diverge with the wishes of president Trump.

And it looks like these purges are already beginning.

In addition to ending DEI hiring practices, Trump has also gotten rid of an equal opportunities, civil-rights era, hiring rule implemented in 1965 by Lyndon Johnson.

Trump has effectively ended affirmative action within the US Federal Government. Affirmative action being,

a set of policies and practices within a government or organization seeking to address systemic discrimination

And I assume we would all agree that systemic discrimination is bad.

With regard to energy, why is Trump so gung-ho on drilling? Oil is a finite resource. Do we all agree on this? The cost of extracting it is only going to increase as its amount dwindles. If you want to declare a national energy emergency, don't in the same breath go, 'but these turbines are nonsense'. Even if you leave aside the potential environmental impact of using fossil fuels, their use obviously cannot go on indefinitely. There's going to come a point where there isn't enough to power the world's economy.

Regarding men in women's spaces and all that - whatever - it's practically a non issue, but red meat for the culture warriors. However, someone please Lauren Boebert that it doesn't give her the power to call security on every woman who she thinks looks like a transgender person using the women's toilets.

This is the other side of the hysterical coin.

People are also printing these out as stickers and putting them on Teslas Swasticars

Fixed your post everlast. Remember they’ve got a new official name that Elon just loves

And if any judges demurr at these extreme penalties we'll have the MAGA howling that it's time to get rid of this radical leftist judiciary.

Laughable is right. There goes Hegseth, so. As for defending women, how about starting this work at home by defending women against predators like Gaetz, Hegseth, Robert .F.Kennedy Jnr, Musk….and Trump.

The "Your body, my choice" folks are definitely on the side of women. 100%.

So you know sweet FA about Ireland, should we just join America and leave the EU as well?

What is it with people being so servile towards Trump? It is genuinely unsettling. And as a soon to be Canadian myself, Trump hasn’t a dogs chance of getting anything from Canada either, he is equally detested here.

If only Coke came in via bonded warehouses 😂 The yank deficit would be slashed!

Complete child because he isn’t getting his way, his supporters will go along with this of course…

US companies have invested hundreds of billions of dollars in Ireland. By far Ireland's most important partner and without that we'd have nothing.

You want to go back to the 70's and 80's?
