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

True but don't underestimate the amount of myths most countries hold about it. The French desperate cling to the whole Resistance thing, the Brits think they won it by themselves and the less said about the Russians, the better.

Ironically, only Germany seems to have a sensible view of the whole thing. Well, the west of Germany.

SCOTUS is taking the constitutional birth-right case on today to try and figure out if Trump was right with his EO on limiting the constitution and denying children [of aliens] born in the US the US citizenship [born in the US] right OR if the succession of lower court rulings against Trump and his EO are correct in law [meaning that Trump exceeded the limits of authority that the constitution vested in the president].

The SCOTUS decision may also impinge on the powers of the lower courts to rein in probable abuse or misuse of the presidents authority, particularly where it affects the rights of the average persons living or residing [alien or other] in the US according to the written words in the constitution's 1st amendment.

A unanimous or partial SCOTUS decision on the issue may take some time to be arrived at.

How was it disrespectful? Both France and the UK expeditionary force were beaten within 6 weeks. He is right that America does not do celebrations for victory in Europe as it could or even it's victory over Japan.

I'm not saying it should do what the UK and France do which I have always thought is way over top and vastly overstates their contributions to victory. Without the US neither would be celebrating any victories.

It may be undiplomatic to speak like Trump does but there is truth in what he said.

The poster said he was disrespectful.

He didn't say he lied.

You seem to have gotten in front of your skis once again in your over-anxiousnessness to defend Trump.

I don't think that the Nazis would have won the war if the US had remained neutral. The Nazi regime was anything but stable and would have destroyed itself even if it wasn't stupid enough to try the one thing that ends in failure 100% of the time: Barbarossa. I think it's more sensible to say that America's entry hastened the end of the conflict through the contribution of its sheer industrial capacity.

Of course, I wouldn't expect the man who can't count the number of world wars to appreciate any sort of nuance like this.

Jake tapper was constantly on cnn saying there was nothing wrong and it was a republican conspiracy theory that Bidens competence was in decline. Now he's written a book about how bad it was and how it was covered up? Has he owned up to his part in it?

They have a long history of mentally or physically incapacitated Presidents.

Odd for a country that's so obsessed with the health of their Presidents.

.

And yet he managed to *still* be an extraordinarily better option than the current fascist, racist, twice impeached convicted felon.

Btw - Tapper, along with all the other grifters, selling their wares can absolutely do one.

An independent cognitive test would be better. At least meet some basic standard. They could be published then pre-election so voters are aware.

Trump couldn't run the country at 35, someone like Warren Buffet could still run it at 95

But apart from that, what do you think of him ? 😂 😂

Have you got a link that isn't on a fascist website?
