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

It's not that hard to play golf.

That is kind of what the Brits did with shipping convicts to Australia

I would lay a bet that he says Mexico, no real reason other than it is Mexico.

So, they want to get rid of criminal migrants and merely being undocumented is a crime by definition.

The social/economic impact would be interesting, if nothing else, if this were achieved to the fullest extent.

I mean you could take up the slack with prison labour in certain areas perhaps, but these migrants weren't only toiling in fields away from the public. For example, you'd probably be hard pressed to find a family who'd be happy to have 8-Ball, second in command of the San Quentin Nazi Lowriders be their kids' new nanny.

It’s almost like the same posters post the same things, with huge amounts of substance to their posts.

Fake news.

Trump apparently had Federal government email staff asking them to resign within a week and saying if they did, they'd get paid up until the end of September. He cannot authorize that.

So either he knowingly tried to entice people to resign like they're some contractors he can stiff on payment later, or the same guy who created a Dept of Government Efficiency is suggesting paying people to not work for 7 months.

Can we get one of our resident MAGA'ts to tell us what he was actually doing.

Puerto Rico?

He already thinks its a '**** hole' country

It's all in Project 2025, everything he has done so far has been outlined in that step by step.

As far as federal employees go, the plan is to remove them and then replace them with Trump loyalists.

Trumps following the blueprint of Putin and Orban to a tee, purge the institutions and anyone that poses a threat to you from the inside.

The various federal agencies (these are typically huge organizations) are sending out instructions to employees, to rat out coworkers who are not implementing the administrations 'purge DEI' directives. One of them, the National Parks service, has an e-mail address that can be used to report fellow coworkers. Now, imagine, an e-mail address that can be flooded with crap to make it worthless. Ya think?

Plus, the echoes of thought police and right-wing political correctness and yet another obvious dictatorial fascist behaviour. And it's Wednesday.

The e-mail address is DEIAtruth@opm.gov.

Here are the template instructions of National Parks Service employees, from Appendix 1 of this document:

It's amazing how much Trump's orders align with Project 2025 even though he promised he had nothing to do with them, didn't know anything about them and didn't support Project 2025. I mean, we were all lying and being completely disengenious and scaremongering that this is what would happen (completely in bad faith, obviously), and yet somehow, it's actually happening anyway.

She's way too aggressive, irritated and wound up and it was only day one.

I expect her gone in a few months.

I would NOT write off anything Trump is now saying and then following up on same - it’s very, very different to the last time - he is SOooooooooooo mercurial. I ca’nt wait for the midterm elections. I wonder now , for example ,the following will vote in those elections:-

(1) those working from home/remotely that have just got a letter to now work FULLTIME from office or resign - must be upsetting for quiet a few

(2) the ongoing/percieved treatment of the LGBT grouping in all sections of the economy - especially in the army,federal staff. They are deemed to be ‘second class citizens’ by the current Trump administration.

(3) All those sectors of the economy who used foreigners/illegals to pick fruit, sweep the roads, assistants in hospitals, refuse collection, baby sitters, building sites , landscaping, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc

(4) Those in states that have a traditional right to federal funds when a disaster hits them and such funds are held back/significantly delayed - eg Los Angles.

(5) all those to be let go/fear of being let go so as to reduce ‘surplus staff / clean out the swamp/ reduce federal expenditure/ reduce influence of the federal involvement in the running of the country.

(6)IT MAY NOT HAVE DAWNED ON THE POTUS that all of the above have family, relations, friends, work buddies and neighbours that might sympathise with some of the above

So, roll on the MID TERMS

’cLOTHING’ he could’nt pick a worst example.. WHY?
(1) What about all of the people who currently make the bulk of what we wear eg Bangladeshis, Indians , etc. and our attitude to supporting these

(2) cost of clothes would SOAR. - seriously impact on the cost of living

(3) imagine all those tech workers re skilling themselves re ‘ how to sew, design clothing, etc.
