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

After proposing the ending of birthright citizenship, Trump makes sure no one misunderstands how little he respects the Constitution.

Remember when Lindsey Graham said about Trump that "if we elect him, he will destroy us". I wonder does he think of that quote himself much? Trump has turned America in to a gaudy brash strip mall.

All about helping out the poor people apparently...

Sounds a bit like the scheme Ireland had for over 11 years.

A programme offering a visa to non-EU nationals, in return for investment in the Republic of Ireland, is to be scrapped.

Established in 2012, it offers Irish residence in return for creating jobs.

Its nothing new guys, lots of countries have similar schemes to encourage investment.

Possibly, I dont know.

It wouldnt surprise me though with the level of corruption and wastage in Ireland.

Maybe they used it to build some bike shelters.

Me old 401k after years of 20% returns is on the slide since Trump took office, Bitcoin even worse and inflation coming back! Who thought a n infamous failure in business would somehow be good for the US economy? The Idiocracy is almost complete. He is in the stone age with this quid pro quo , tit for tat, zero sum game view on world economics. The exact opposite is true, you invest in market , so they grow and become consumers and workforce.

Ah that's impossible really, best you could do is have him fired as CEO but he'll always be a billionaire

Tesla's entire valuation is based on the cult of Musk, have they ever made a profit? Taking 500$ deposits for cars to be launched in 3 years time and then putting that through the books as a 150k purchase.....

Well done on

1. Answering a direct question on somebody else's behalf and
2. Not actually answering the question itself

Perfect example of what Trump sympathizing posters are getting called out on here.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/25/musk-doge-employees-resign

More than 20 civil service employees resigned on Tuesday from Elon Musk’s so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge), saying they were refusing to use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services”.

“We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the constitution across presidential administrations,” the 21 staffers wrote in a joint resignation letter, a copy of which was obtained by the Associated Press. “However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”

The employees also warned that many of those enlisted by Musk to help him slash the size of the federal government under Donald Trump’s administration were political ideologues who did not have the necessary skills or experience for the task ahead of them.

Doge employee Katie Miller seemed to ridicule the staffers who resigned, saying: “These were full remote workers who hung Trans flags from their workplaces,” in a separate post on X.

BTW, Katie Miller is Stephen Millers wife.

Uhh. It's what, 6 weeks into 47s term. This video seems to me would have taken a fair bit of time and money to put together? All the Eloon facial stuff, I'm sure there's a soundtrack too (didn't watch it with the sound on.) Must've cost some money.

So, was it started prior to him taking office? Just absolute freaking madness. Golden statues.

saw the video. The first thing that crossed my mind is what the ordinary Muslim/Islamist would think about it?. Imagine the place is built on the homes/ Palestinian land and the Palestinians will only be allowed to ‘ observe/look at it from a distance’. And they accepting it all.!!!!!! What a target for any group that resent it

Would AI not knock out that lunacy rapidly?

It's beyond unhinged.

Love that the AI threw in some bearded belly dancers.

I agree,

I'd also add it is beyond creepy. Way beyond creepy.

Words are not sufficient. What the &%@**? This is like something one of the Kim gang would produce.
