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

Disagree- with all the disruption he’s doing, it obviously will have major impacts on world markets - mainly negative- and his domestic economy will suffer - he’ll want to sing about his “legacy” - so he’ll need time to start rebuilding whatever he’s currently destroying -there’s also the project 2025 plan - this is bigger than Trump and I don’t think we’ve seen the half of that yet - MAGA will want to see their future secured knowing Trump is bowing out so that will take precedence - Trump will phone it in from the golf course but MAGA will keep the mad show on the road

Ah yes trump is trolling, just like his trolling about project 2025

Absolutely correct, what do some people think? That the project 2025 people will have a crack for 2 years then allow the masses to vote them out before they've had a chance to implement their changes after the carnage, not a chance thats going to happen, might be 10-15 years before this ends...

This evil bunch of fcuks are the main drivers behind 2025. One of the main protagonists is a member of the Coors family of Coors brewing fame.

I believe you're referring to what's colloquially called the paypal mafia.

The Depression bit is possible if he continues to attack and try to dismantle the FTC and the FED (which he is already doing)

And there’s continued talk about “Maro Lago Accord” which involves defaulting on US debt

These are literally the foundation blocks of US economy

And little orange turdicle is taken a pickaxe to them

I’ve been extremely bullish on US economy in last few years as Biden created and incredible growth machine which led to the best US economy ever by every metric, only for this turd to come along, alot of investors already got burned with the now proven to be false theory that he be “good for economy” and be playing golf or something, they didn’t account for him surrounding himself with revolutionary zealots and his own drive for “legacy” and dismantling the US so his dynasty can remain in power in perpetuity

a depression is possible of course, but im not convinced it ll be, but definitely a recession, and it could be a nasty one

Nicely played Slate podcast... nicely played.

Don't underestimate MAGAworld's ability to use mental gymnastics to convince themselves that a Uncharismatic Sickbag is somehow the better solution to whatever Marxist Far-Left Commie™ the Dems will put forward.

Sure, they managed to put an Incontinent Talentless Letch into the White House…twice!

Good post and I agree in general with the sentiments - however, Russia and Putin were just ignored in some respects over the last 4 years - we know when the world treats Putin as as underdog and sidelines him through trade bans etc he attacks -neither approaches (Democrats and Maga) are necessarily correct . But it’s not an easy situation to resolve either that’s for sure

Don’t need “charisma” if checks and balances are destroyed by Trump

Just ask Putin who has the charisma of a priest at a rave

Nor would it be Vance who is next in line but one of Trumps spawn as he wants to a monarchic type dynasty like Saudi Arabia

I agree. He reminds me a lot of Ron DeSantis, a kind of simmering evil behind their eyes.

He's absolutely not trolling about the 3rd term. Steve Bannon is talking about it too. He's not gonna resign either, with the Trump meme coin, his $5 million charge for meetings with business leaders etc - There's too much easy dosh to be made and there's too much commotion to be caused, lame duck or not.

Also 4 Supreme court judges are in their 70's. He'll hang in there hoping to appoint a 4th judge, maybe even a 5th one and have his paws all over the supreme court for potentially another 40-years.

Plus, whoever the Republican candidate in 2028 is, Trump will want to be stirring it up on that campaign - Especially if that candidate is Don Jnr which I think is what he has his eye on.

Nope. They are already having buyer's remorse. Vance is fast becoming a laughing stock.

Trump could die and they could replace him with video footage only, telling his followers that he's alive and well in Mar A lago and they would 100% believe it.
