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

It seems, according to Ben Meiselas, Meidastouch of New York, SCOTUS issued an order earlier today to ACLU blocking the removal of some people [Venezuelan migrants] from the US by the Trump Admin pending a hearing of the 5th circuit court of appeal. Two of the SCOTUS bench voted against the issue.

I’m reminded of an old Elvis Costello song, “Crawling to the USA” which has a line that seems apt “Everybody is on their knees, except the Russians and the Chinese”.

You must be truly outraged by him deporting people without trial so. Trump went to trial was found guilty as sin by a jury, meanwhile those in an El Salvador prison have faced no form of due process. Or do you only care that Trump was prosecuted for crimes that he did commit? You actually don't seem to be paying any attention to his presidency these days, just because it's going so atrociously?

Seems Temu and Shein are upping their prices to compensate for tariffs. Might dawn on some that a tariff is a consumer tax.

Just reading up on this Garcia fella they sent to El Salvador, they were dead right to get him out of the country because he seems to have come to the attention of law enforcement on way too many occasions.

So smoke without fire I say.

Yes, the charges she brought against Trump were completely over the top and abuse of power.

So by that 'logic'; the charges brought against her are……

Won't be surprised if he deports first nations people for being un-American.

You're very confident there'll be another free and fair election in the USA. I'm not.

Trump is destroying the US economy in a manner they will never recover from. Their biggest trading partners and allies are moving onto pastures new. He will bankrupt the few indigenous industries he had like Tesla, Boeing etc.

He's created an environment that will see the military suppliers far less relevant except to the US themselves.

Consumers will face higher prices for everything and you can be sure that the Asian countries he's screwed over will exact a price for agreeing to supply anything going forward.

NATO bases are likely to close once Europe become self sufficient as we won't want to be launch pads for excursions in the ME and Africa.

The list goes on and on. If the US were turkeys, they voted for Christmas in November and the price they are about to pay will change the country forever.

A complete indictment of the Americans that he has done this much damage and he's still floating around the same percentage he got in the election. It takes a special kind of stupid not to realise how badly this is going to affect their day to day.

The anecdote was of some person who left Ireland to live in Spain due to rampant immigration. Which makes no sense, Spain has historically had far far greater immigration. Ireland is one of the most genetically homogenous countries in the world.
