Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning added to OP 10/1/26

McGregor’s insta…

Trying his best to write so proper and correct. Hint, Irelands is Ireland’s..

When I heard about the Cybertruck glued on panel coming off I could help but think of Trump's stupid combover. Tesla and Trump are analogous of eachother, cults completely detached from reality.

I reckon my ESTA application is now totally fu*ked !!

Don't know if we are "fecked" (non US Western world has quite a lot going for it vs rest) but there is no way Trump 2 spells a more peaceful and safe world for any of us.

The worst thing (IMO) is the POTUS and his admin. is declaring it is open season for dictators, autocrats, and evil politicians and rulers generally to be their worst selves, to behave just how they like, at home and abroad. Was a bit of that the 1st time out but it's far worse now (the world is less stable and more dangerous anyway).

Looking abroad in particular, wars of conquest and genocide are very much "back on the menu boys" if you are powerful enough and your victim is weaker and you can cajole or force enough of your population to march into the guns for you.

The US won't mind, may even tip a sly wink and egg you on perhaps.

There's supposedly a surge in applications for Irish citizenship via Irish parents/grandparents from the US over the last month, not dissimilar to the Brexit demand.

That is exactly it. Europe has a great opportunity here. It needs to stand up and act like the Union it purports to be. This could be the golden era for the EU that will last for decades.

America was never a democracy. If it was we would never have gotten to this situation. Hillary would have beaten him in 2016 and he'd have been yesterday's chip wrapper.

Their stupid weighted "democracy" was and is a sham that's allowed idiots gsin power more than once.

The US was, of course, a democracy by every mainstream dictionary definition for virtually all of its history. Democracies have used various forms of weighting to address some issues that can arise with direct democratic methods.

Now while the US Electoral College might be one of the more flawed of those weighting methods, I'd argue there was a lot more wrong with the US that someone like Trump could be a serious candidate for POTUS in the first place. He'd run for president before, but had always been considered something of a fringe/joke choice.

Well that's handy for china

A private citizen gaining control over stuff like that…

Other countries will look at this and have serious concerns with sharing information with the states. They really are isolating themselves.

Do you think they will show him the real plan?

I mean the last time I checked Canada had not invaded anyone, or struck civilians with missiles/drones…But clearly Trump knows better than everyone else 😆
