Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

The irony is, to his base, they see him as owning the libs with this ****.

Well I for one believe Canada should make a peace deal now, to end USA conflict, before anymore lives are lost, give up some of that land behind their imaginary line, and do a deal on all their minerals!! 🤔😋

Okay Musk was mimicking Hitler, but Hitler wasn't doing a Nazi salute, he was spreading love.

Anyway Europe started the war and they should never have fought back against Germany.

Dictators all of them.

nope …. only the possibility for a heavyweight third term democrat candidate, but I think MAGA will do enough damage that even Kamala could run again

You're talking like there are going to be free and fair elections in 2028, which is looking more doubtful by the day. Only the other day, Trump signed an executive order designed to extend presidential control over a number of US federal agencies, including their elections commission.

These EOs will be met with legal challenges, but if those fail, US democracy is well and truly fcked, and you shudder to think what Trump and team will be able to achieve even before the US midterms, never mind the next presidential election.

President for life. Like Putin.

Correct, this is more alarming as his statements regarding Ukraine having started the war and saying what Putin is telling him to say; its called unitary executive theory, and it will give him absolute executive power and control over the military without any recourse of Congress of the courts of the USA.

This means he will be allowed

• to fire or order members of the executive branch of government without recourse,
• disregard laws if the interfere with his exercising of power over the executive branch (invoking national security as a rationale, for example)
• give him additional discretion on decisions regarding wars and law enforcement, per above.
• launch military operations without Congressional review/approval if he cited 'national security' as the reason, and given the fact hes cited 'national security' as a means of imposing tariffs against the free trade agreements with Canada and Mexico (he negotiated them in his last term, and this term publically stated they were the worst deal ever, an idiot mustve agreed it, etc.), he is well versed in doing so.
• bypass Congress and courts in making declarations of war

As said, this is still just the first month, it will keep escalating from here, moreso once he hosts Putin in Washington. Exiting NATO, withdrawing US troops from Europe, and leavign the G7 and establishing a rival setup to those organsiations with Russia will come next. This has so manay parallels with the 1930's and is progressing so fast; the entire world order for nearly the past century has been undone in a couple of weeks, its surreal watching it unfold in real time.

A glimpse of the real Trump in action. He's a very unpleasant person, but we don't usually get to see this side of him in front of the cameras.

Just like any bully, he cowers behind others and falls apart when confronted directly.

Does it matter? It's not like any law enforcement agency or the corrupt supreme court will care.

You nailed it there. THIS is the real Trump, he only cares about power and himself.

He is a pig of a human.

There's a touch of the nasty dictator about him here, a bully with absolutely no manners.

Ironically, his base will be lapping this stuff up…..'birds of a feather flock together' and all that, they're as bad as him.

At least doing a deal with Europe could include membership and benefits returned in other ways long into the future….rather than dealing with a fool like Trump and Elon….I mean these too could bring Bible end of days seem plausible…trumpets from the west…..

He’s doing the right thing by women, a lot of people not just his base agree with him. I’ve friends still stuck in the he’s literally hitler phase of tds but they do agree with him on this. All fathers of daughters it’s worth noting.
