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

Wow, Asian markets are opening and the Japanese stock market is down nearly 9% right now.

Honestly this has been my position for years, people should be voting for the most boring mundane technocrat available. Voting for personalities always leads to disaster. I want an empty suit.

Trump currently has a net approval rating of -12. A lot of Trump voters seem to be experiencing buyers remorse now, but they only have their own stupidity to blame.

I think the time has come for serious thought on what to do about him.

It's now clear a lot of his supporters are realising he isn't the God they thought he is.

I see a massive rebellion coming, looking at the protests in the states that took place, this is going to ramp up.

What does it take to beging impeachment proceedings? From there what does it take to remove a president from office?

It requires a Congress with a spine. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Rice cooker!

Even then, a successful impeachment would most likely result in Vance taking over. And as we all know, he’s no better. I think nothing less than a coup or civil war can stop the madness at this stage!

How will he forced to stop it?

What can anyone possibly do to him to stop it?

Why didn't Trump, the greatest negotiator even apparently, not negotiate before launching all his weapons?

No. Instead he took the tough man approach, punched the world in the face and expected the world to cower before him and run to him to save themselves.

So many problems with that approach but chief among them is that nobody has any trust in Trump. Even his own supporters constantly say you can't believe what he says.

On top of that, his row back on tariffs on Canada & Mexico, his failure to stand up to Putin when Putin has clearly pulled his pants down, his fawning over Netanyahu. It all shows Trump to be untrustworthy.

Finally, the farce of the calculation of tariffs shows that Trump is both lazy and stupid. This is all just a gameshow to him.

Unless he personally feels that pain, it matters not. Sadly, I don't think he will see it the way everyone else does. He'll cut a deal with a few inconsequential minnows and maybe one or two larger players like the UK to claim victory. The rest of the world will look back in abhorrance until a new world order can be established. Hopefully one with wider trading outside of the US.

Putin is probably one of the insider readers. Crash the market there Donnie we'll make a mint.

Apparently, it was a tie between Trump and another, at the Trump Open, at a Trump course.

They've probably realized people are laughing at how he always managed to "win" despite every video of him golfing makes him third rate....

Vance's "popularity" doesn't exist.

His followers won't show up to a rally like Trump's will.

He is only more dangerous in the sense that he is younger and hasn't served two terms yet.

I would have to go to the Oxford Dictionary as a first move and I probably would not find the word that I would be looking for. Probably will be in it next year when someone creates it!!!!!!!!
