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

You can tick the remaining boxes too. I mean there is major military parade to rival Putins soon. Trumps completely obsessed with national security and there is zero labour power in the US right now, how many people were fired without warning since January...

You missed a few

1. Planes falling out of the sky on a weekly basis and chaos at the airports thanks to Trumps firing of half the FAA
2. Measles running rampant across the country and the first deaths from a disease that was declared totally eliminated not that long ago.
3. Dow seeing huge losses since he was inaugurated
4. US heading towards a recession with first negative GDP since he was last in office.

Any clear word around how farmers are faring in terms of “migrant” workers? Food harvesting is reliant on workers who have entered the country illegally - there has to be some panic emerging in terms of whether farmers will have the labour required to being home the harvest.

I saw an estimate of 40% of all farm workers are illegals in America - there is a focus now on the H-2A visa allowing temporary workers to enter the US for a fixed period- but that comes with T&Cs including accommodation for the workers which is in short supply- and of course costly so only major industrial level farms could absorb the costs required

The Democrats knew which side their bread was buttered on and didn’t rock the apple or grain carts too much - with MAGA now in full swing , many crops left in the ground to rot is Shirley where the US is heading?

Wait'll you see the excuse which rolled out of Leavitt's mouth to explain the firing: the librarian was allowing Pro DEI books, which children should not have access to, unto the library shelves, as if it was the children's section of any town library. Nothing about the fact that the library of congress automatically is the recipient of all publications in the US and that the librarian has no say in what is taken into it.

When Rock & Roll music hit the states, they burned records and players in the US. When films hit colour TV's, they bought & smashed the TV's in the states because they were instruments of the devil. Something tells me that certain versions of the bible may face a flaming end…. again.

It's hard to fathom how so many get so triggered by Trump given he is merely a figurehead of the popular backlash.

Look at Europe, the surge in support for the AFD in Germany or Reform in the UK. These moves are not an accident.

I'm not sure belittling and insulting the public for voting for them is the wisest strategy but by all means continue on.

Trump is a clownish incompetent. By himself he could not accomplish very much. He is easily manipulated and this has been siezed on by many, often quite sinister, right-wing extremists and by the likes of the Heritage Foundation and Stephen Miller. This does not excuse Trump in any way: figurehead or not he must bear responsibility for the immense damage he is causing, not just to the USA, but to humanity in general.

Over 70 million Americans voted for him. They support his policy agenda. I think the silent majority don't, and never have, supported the absurd socially 'progressive' agendas and now we see the outcome when they vote.

Trump is a highly dysfunctional and idiotic individual but he got elected on the "plague on all your houses" basis.

It's not just the US. Voters right across the western world are sending a very unambiguous message to their political leaders to get a grip and fast and start acting in their interests.

For ordinary Americans Trump is the molotov cocktail they can throw in to the establishment to shake them up.

Trumps the worst president in US history by a distance, that's not me saying it but actual presidential historians and that was before his current disastrous run which in just 2 months has seen a forecasted strong economy nose-dive into negative territory https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2024/02/19/presidential-greatness-survey-2024-trump-biden/9601708357197/

As far as the Brits go I mean they gladly voted to keep the Tories in power for 15 years and let them destroy the country so why not give Farage and his Putin backed buddies a go, sure what could go wrong.

The German people voted Hitler into power, let's hope they learn from history..

That's all it's ever been. When was the last time on this thread one of the MAGA types defended actual Trump policy?

Putin continuing to string Trump along.

A deal has been done with China on trade according to the White House. Details to be announced tomorrow. Would be quite the coup for Trump. Devil will be in the detail.

Qutar just gave Trump a new airplane, obviously don’t expect anything in return

400 million dollars worth of a plane which will transfer to the Trump Library Foundation in 2029. Quid pro quo?

So can we assume the stupid orange fecker has finally realised it was utterly pointless sending his real-estate buddy to Moscow - several times over - to negotiate directly with Putin, but keeping Ukraine on the sidelines … ?

No, probably not. Sounds like he still really believes Putin wants to negotiate. Serious learning difficulties in evidence there …
