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

It's his own people who referred to him as a chess genius.

Considering the $100 billion arms deal he negotiated with them in his first term resulted in sales of about $8 billion, I'm sure the US defense industry can supply 12.5% of the $140 billion. It was $300 billion, then $100 billion, then actually turned out to be $8 billion.

People need to see through all the bluster with his announcements, especially when it relates to money. He became a convicted felon for doing the exact same thing with loans! Inflating the value.

Look on the bright side, they haven't gone after possession of the National Archives agency yet. It possesses the originals of the US declaration of independence and the US constitution. Mutters quietly; I hope they're not reading this….

The guy claimed he invented a new word "equalize" at a press conference and he clearly believed it.

MAGA would be calling for Biden to step down for this level of lunacy.

The fat shot that turned in to a pill half way through the fxxked up story.

Some friend, "He told me he was taking the fat shot. I told him it wasn't working" 😂

"He said he was getting it for $88 in London and paying $1300 in the States". Sure Donald. 🙄

And it was because of this story that he decided to take action. Ignoring the years of campaigning of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren highlighting this at all levels of government.

They could look for ... sponsors for the declaration of independence and the constitution…maybe you contribute a couple of millions and get to have one of them on the wall of your home for a weekend.

The US Healthcare Insurance Co, which lost a senior executive to death from shooting by another person on a NYC street has relieved its CEO of control of the Co with its chairman taking over control of the Co due to a slide in it's fortune on the market.

In Austin Powers, when Dr Evil went into the future and asked for a hundred million dollars he was laughed at because 100 million dollars in 1997 was seen as a pittance while in the 60s it was a fortune

Fast forward 28 years, and now Dr Trump can take a 400 million dollar bribe and it's completely fine, and a 140 billion dollar 'deal' is just a normal Tuesday

Trump talking about 10 trillion dollar deals 'numbers we have never seen before'

What he and the other asshole billionaires are doing, is trying to make enormous numbers seem normal.

He 'only' took a 400 million dollar bribe, meanwhile minimum wage in America is significantly less than 10 dollars an hour

When these ridiculously large numbers get thrown around every day, the public will accept this level of corruption as 'normal'

"Its ok to take a 400 million dollar bribe, he's getting a 10 trillion dollar investment. "

It doesn't matter that it's all lies, and even if it wasn't, that money isn't going anywhere near the ordinary person's pockets. Morons get bamboozled by it

It can probably be filed under "too little, too late", but there does seem to be some push back from Republicans against the latest example of the venal one being maybe a teensy weensy bit too venal this time.

Well known, Neurotic, successful businessman, grossly overweight. Surely he was just speaking about himself.

He has been acting as a facilitator for two warmongers.

No no no.

You can *only* answer the carefully restricted question. You absolutely cannot provide any context or address any fact that might contradict the narrative.

That way, the poster can claim they won the debate and walk away with chest held high, regardless of any relevant points you make.

If by 'squalk' you mean Squawk Box on CNBC, take anything they say with a grain of salt. They're not much better than corporate press spokesbots, and present charlatans like Jim Cramer as an eminence grise.

And turn it off if Larry Kudlow is ever on. How that brainless incompetent keeps a financial gig is beyond me, bet against him 100% of the time and you'll do well. Plus he's up CFTrumps arse too.
