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

Lads with about 50k posts between them going, hmm. Don't take Trump literally.

Yeah, I've said before that it would be a relief at this point if Trump were to go the whole hog and just declare the Democrats an illegal entity and have them all rounded up and arrested on some, er, trumped-up charges.

And that's not because it would be a good thing. Far from it as you can get. But Trump and minions seem to be so hell bent on dismantling US democracy and appear to be facing such little resistance in that goal that maybe America needs to have that moment with authoritarianism (probably more than a moment given authoritarians' famous reticence to relinquish power) in order to see what they're losing. I fail to see any way that America simply returns to normal liberal democracy by, say, electing Pete Buttigieg in 3 years and nine months' time, if a free and fair election were to even happen by the end, which is looking less and less likely as Trump moves to yoke all the federal institutions of power firmly under his control, staffed by loyalists.

US Democrats have had their head in the sand to an unbelievable degree. To sum up how bad it was, the day after that infamous debate performance by Biden, Lawrence O Donnell of MSNBC went live and said, "Hey, it's really not that bad. The ratings for this debate were pretty low. Nobody really saw it, so it's cool." or words to that effect. The level of cope was staggering. It was washed away by enough people seeing the plain reality of the situation, but it was really too late by that point.

You told us before he won we were exaggerating with what we were predicting he would do. What he has done has been worse than what was predicted and you're telling us we're overreacting. Give over.

He's set the DOJ as his chase hounds, he has appointed abolitionists to lead institutes like the FBI, Dept of Education and Dept of Health, a Russian stooge to lead the intelligence agencies, he is siding absolutely with Putin with respect to Ukraine and has called for ethnic cleansing in Palestine.

It doesn't matter what he does, you'll call comments on it overreacting, there isn't a single bit of objectivity in how you post about him.

Trump will go down as the POTUS that ultimately lost the cold war to Russia.

Everything that the US has worked decades for, all that money, the lives lost and Trump is going hand it away for his own personal gain.

Trump also saying the tariffs on Canada and Mexico are back on.

Back to square one with the trade war.

The UN has always been an irrelevance in every war I can remember.

Its Europe or nothing now. UK could turn out to be the decision makers and given the state of their economy and their brown nosing 'special relationship', when push comes to shove, I don't hold out much hope of them diverging from the US treachery, notwithstanding their abstinence on this UN vote.

78 and fat..…must be good odds on him flatlining? Paddypower?

Let that sink in.

Is there anything at all left of the GOP to stand up to this traitor?

…with a bit of luck, but the cnut will probably live till 178, and be even fatter!

Think it's somewhat obvious that Trump fans simply aren't willing to comment on Trump's antics at this stage. I am noticing this week that there's definitely a domestic decline in support for Trump and Musk…. So he's gonna feck their economy and become allies of Russia while being hated by looks of it. Think at some point, the US needs to face international consequences in some form for this.

"Think it's somewhat obvious that Trump fans simply aren't willing to comment on Trump's antics at this stage"

Watch posters here pivot to North Korea being a good guy on the world stage.

***king pathetic really.

Not one has the balls here to say they got it wrong.

We all knew he was in Putin's pocket since 2015. 10 years later and the capitulation is complete.

Trump has always been a conman, trying to make money from what he does not own.

Europe should begin negotiations with Russia offering Alaska for return of occupied territory in Ukraine. I wonder if Trump has the mental capacity to recognise the equivalence.

Trump's betrayal of Ukraine and siding with his fellow-gangster, Putin will have relatively little effect on his domestic popularity. Its the economic chaos caused by Musk and Tariffs whihc will do for him. Seems to me that most Americans, especially outside a few East and West Coast cities, care little about foreign policy

The Magamentarians. You're free to speak (first amendment right) but if you disagree with us then you'll be hauled away by hired goons with zip locks who won't identify themselves. Let that be a warning to anyone else wishing to exercise their (lol) rights.
