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

i think a depression is a bit much, but definitely recessions on the way…..

Its a terrible indictment of the human condition that we, from a position of relative peace and prosperity, allow a handful of pricks, drive us headlong towards a global conflict.

Just like when people look back and say why didn't we dispense with Hitler earlier. In 50yrs time they'll be saying the same about Trump, Putin and Netanyahu

Vance has the charisma of a sick bag. He'll never win an election.

The MAGA movement will be crippled when Trump leaves the stage. It's his cult of personality that carries it. Nothing more. No matter what one says about Trump he has a unique and strong personality.

Most republican house members are tolerating him now because they have to but once the writing is on the wall after the mid-terms they'll gradually take more mainstream positions and move away from the MAGA movement which most of them privately despise.

Vance won't stay with MAGA either. His 'principles' change with the weather.

Optimistic at best 😀

Too early to tell how it will go but at this point, I think one would be mad to rule anything in or out - the fact MAGA/Trump won the election in the first place or indeed that Trump was the candidate, should be enough to put all on alert

THE PRESIDENT

There's a fair chance he could die in the next few years. He doesn't seem to be a healthy weight. Almost certainly obese.

Vance is favourite currently.

Long way to go 🤣

How many countries have a head of state who has declared economic war on most of the countries it has cultural, familial, diplomatic, economic, trade and military pact ties with? How many countries have a head of state who has threatened to use his country's military in trans-border operations against its two neighbours, despite having trade deal pacts he arranged and signed his country up to as fair and equitable deals? How many heads of state have threatened to unlawfully use his nations military against the territory of a Trans-Atlantic country with whom his country has a decades old military pact from early in the last century? How many countries have a head of state who has brought into use a piece of legislation dated from 1798 called the Aliens War act, designed for use in a time of military war, against civilians during a time of peace in his country? How many countries have a head of state who has declared time and again his intent to ignore the constitution of his country after twice swearing an oath of loyalty to that constitution? How many counties have a head of state with an obligingly "did I say that" forgetful memory?.

Folks, I give you the non-doddery right honourable Donald J Trump, current holder of the office of the US president.

Trump is not the problem and not to blame. America is the problem and the blame!

Wouldn’t it be lovely all the same if this could be a Trump headline:

NEWSMarine Le Pen is sentenced to four years in JAIL and BANNED from entering presidential elections as she is found guilty of embezzlement and accused of 'undermining democracy'

I don't know why this is the latest thought process.... He would be prevented to run as VP because he's ineligible to run as president. Under the 12 amendment: "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice President of the United States"
