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

You get what you voted for. The American voters decided a convicted criminal who had already the worst Presidential rein in history was a better option than a highly qualified if slightly mundane candidate.

The Democrats can't do sh*t to stop whats happening now or in the next 4 years (and anyone who thinks Trump is leaving after 4 years is deluded).

It's like giving the keys of your house to the robbers and complaining your neighbours didn't do anything to help.

America did this to themselves and the whole world will pay the price.

It is refreshing, and somehow also depressing, to see at long last, the penny drop for some Trump people here.

It absolutely boggles my mind how it could take some that long, but at least I suppose it is happening.

The warning signs have been there since he first descended the stairs in Trump tower. Since then, it has been one scandal after another, one appalling glimpse into his psyche after another, one utterly contemptuous act after another.

He is, by all accounts, an aggrieved narcissist, with unchecked power. Combine that with a sociopathic personality and it is an awful cocktail.

He will very happily watch the world burn, all to either settle a petty and perceived grievance, or line his own pockets.

We are about 3 weeks into his tenure. Yes, there will be some pushback and some minor, skirmish type victories, but for those realising the emperor has no clothes, overall, the next two odd years (assuming the Dems secure some sort of mid-term victory), it will be truly, truly appalling.

There is no level to which he will not stoop. Mark my words.

For those cheering him on, either for the LOLs, or for amplifying your particular prejudices, I hope it was worth it.

Hate to say I told ya so, but Israel's plan the entire time was ethnic cleansing of all Palestinians. First 2 million Gazans, then 2.5 million from the West Bank, killed or forcibly deported, either is good for Likud.

Trump is the worst combination of a narcissist, a moron and a megalomaniac.

He doesn't think of the consequences of any of his actions because he never faces any consequences personally. He'll make it up as he goes and then react to the shitstorm he causes. And this is extremely dangerous. He doesn't care where the 4.5 million Palestinians go, he doesn't care where the 15 million american deportees go, he wants to just dump them somewhere out of the way and get someone else to pay for it.

Israel think this is the final solution for Palestine? They've just opened up a bigger border to defend and are creating millions of enemies with nothing left to lose.

Trump isn't just weakening the international institutions that have kept America in control of the global political order since WW2, he's ripping them up burning them to the ground and dancing on their ashes. Whatever replaces the UN won't be headquartered in New York by the time this is over.

A lot of people in the US already felt this way “If this continues for much longer the US as we know it is just going to be gone.”

Which is why he got voted in.

How and why they believed he was the answer who knows. But the how and why we believe M Martin and Harris are the answer who knows?

We have so many challenges here these two clowns aren’t even engaging with! Quick to embrace deflection at any turn.

Are you not familiar with Don?

But hey he'll do better than Biden right?

In a thread about Donald Trump you think its apt to compare him to Martin and Harris?

They're not even the same species.

The press conference last night was astonishing. Trump just casually announcing that the US are helping Israel to genocide Gaza and they'll announce the West Bank relocation operation in 4 weeks.

All of this happening while Musks goons are relocating the US treasury into the back pockets of the selection of American oligarchs

no but they are the epitome of spineless journey men politicians that create the leadership vacuum the spawns the like of Trump. We can see the same right round the EU.

Tbf I'm sure Trump would love to silence his critics if he could somehow plant loyalists like Giuliani/Kushner/Ivanka/Santos into the oppostion to waste opposition time. But the American system wouldn't be vulnerable to an attempt like what was tried here.

Where do you propose the people of Gaza live when their city is turned into a resort?

Maybe they'll be let back in as second class citizens to staff the hotels and brothels, is that it?

This is what Trump said: President Donald Trump said the U.S. would take over the war-ravaged Gaza Strip and develop it economically after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere…. This time Trump said he would support resettling Palestinians "permanently," going beyond his previous suggestions that Arab leaders had already steadfastly rejected.

Asked who would live there, Trump said it could become a home to "the world's people." 

Absolutely desperate attempts going on here to sane wash it as someone helping out the Palestinians, all you have is whataboutery about Biden as you ignore what's happening right in front of you carried out by Trump so you can spread the fake news he's off to a great start.

What am I utterly wrong about?

So many posters and experts warned that Trump was far more dangerous that he was egging on genocide. He is now doing exactly the kind of things we warned about. So yes, you were absolutely wrong when you pushed nonsense about him being a peacemaker.

The gotcha politics, fun and games while it lasts. The same voter mindset was at play when Brexit was voted in - shove it up the lefties hilarious media-driven nonsense. Funny how Johnson and his side-kick Cummings were very similar, albeit a much more timid version of Trump & Musk.

Where’s all the laughing “gotcha” crowd now. I’m just waiting for.. well, it’s all the democrats fault anyway, they need to fix it.

Call in the parents to sort out the mess.

Too late for that now.

I'm giving Oscar the benefit of the doubt that he genuinely misunderstood Trump's remarks.

Never mind, he's actually justifying it based on the post right after this one..

It was sickening to see him with ICC wanted criminal Netanyahu but Trump is known to say horrible and stupid things but not known for child murder

Biden is complicit in nearly 62,000 certified deaths. Genocide Joe and his team said nice thing but pulverized babies into mush

Let's hope Trump says horrible things but doesn't murder babies.
