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

America's influence for the last century was predicated on its vast wealth and business ethic obviously but also on 'responsible adults' being in charge. Nobody ever foresaw the emergence of a reality TV show buffoon and failed businessman with strong authoritarian instincts taking the reins of power and surrounding himself with fellow idiots and sycophants. One wonders if the US can ever recover from this or if its global influence is already gone for good.

I like Sam Harris but it is a bit ironic that he is repeating the line of Douglas Murray on a recent Joe rogan podcast where Douglas made this same point with zero self-awareness thst he was also not a expert on what he was talking about. There are too many speakers like Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson on the other side that speak on topics they are not experts in. Their main skill is talking confidently in public.

"She describes Trump’s penis as “smaller than average” but “not freakishly small”.

“He knows he has an unusual penis,” Daniels writes. “It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool …

“I lay there, annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart ...

“It may have been the least impressive sex I’d ever had, but clearly, he didn’t share that opinion.”

Stormy lays it out, she also said Trump had a guard on the hotel bedroom door and she felt trapped in, only alternative she felt was let him have his way and then get the hell out of there.

The scene in the movie "The Apprentice" where he committs marital rape with Ivana, is indicative of the type of man he is, would think there are many more women out there who have similar and more horrific stories.

So can we now officially refer to him as "plastic mickey" ?

So they are now talking about walking away from the peace talks to end Putin's 3 day war that Trump said he would end in 24hrs all because it its getting a bit too hard for them.

So just like his tariffs and his wall he is running away again.

Impossible to see how Trump's 'peace plan' was ever going to work anyway. He is not an honest broker and has shown in recent weeks he is pro-Putin and Russia.

I hope they're decimated. A state full of hateful hillbillies and imbeciles.

Well ya most of us knew he was talking sht. Some still need reminding for some crazy reason.

I'm not interested in what ifs that may never come to pass in order to try and justify this admin's bullshit.

Don't forget Laura Loomer, she has taken to his bed at Merde de Lardo, has him by the short and curlies, sacks people and gets him to endorse/back her up and right now he is scared of her, does what he is told.

Where your allegory falls down is that neither of you really worked for the cake, whereas in society, the people at the bottom are the ones doing all the work to bake the cake and then have the apparent temerity to wonder why virtually all the proceeds go upward to a very tiny number of people instead of down to them. And apparently it is they who are greedy for asking this.

It's fairly simple really, if you get too great of a wealth gap, you have the seed of popular revolt and the pushback against globalism is emblematic of that. If we want to maintain general societal stability, those at the top of the pyramid may want to consider easing the pressure valve a little and decide that maybe they don't need to become trillionaires, after all.

I get it, inequity but there always has been and always will be. You will never satisfy that need, it's human nature to be unsatisfied. Even the trillionaires are tearing their hair out because someone else has more. When I work I trade my labour for an agreed price, what someone else does with my output is irrelevant to me. I made the agreement and it was satisfied. I just think pandering to human weakness is not going to advance our society. If contracts are entered into freely and satisfied, happy days. Now things like inflation are an issue, that is none consensual erosion of wealth.

So for me ,justice here is the sheriff's deputy doing time for aiding in murder by not securing the murder weapon. I won't hold my breath.

But in the case of Maga, the majority of the bottom, are only too happy to see "the man" keep his billions. They love Trump, they love Musk, they will vehemently fight any idea that these guys should be taxed to raise the boats of others. So the blow back you describe is not against reducing the wealth gap, its about maintaining it. And whilst your at it, take away my healthcare and my labour rights.

All these simpletons should have been the most left leaning of everyone, but their hatred of gays, blacks and every other minority has overruled that.
