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

It's an easy way to try and distract from the current shïtshow. It's also curious that they're suddenly believing every word written by CNN and Axios journalists. Aren't they supposed to be fake news? 😉

Remember when we were told China can’t have advanced AI because it could be used to gain military and economic advantage over the US

I remember

lol reminds of the time a number of years ago I read the tax proposals of the now defunct (afaik) Renua party.

Their self proclaimed simplified flat rate tax system would have had me paying double in tax over what I was actually paying at the time.

My opinion is that a significant portion of Americans are very much out for themselves.

The mentality is that if you aren't making it, work harder, get another job, whatever needs to be done - side hustle etc. If you can't make it, that's your own fault.

They're like that because they've been conditioned to think like that. It lets the state take its hands off of their responsibilities towards its citizens.

Americans are entirely correct to distrust their governments and the apparatus of the state because when the push comes to the shove it doesn't give a damn about them. If you fall on hard times, it's tough shit. The problem is that the loudest of them then go and vote for Trump who's just sniggering up his sleeve at how dumb they are to fall for his bullshit. Because he isn't going to make American lives any better.

It's a dog-eat-dog, survival of the fittest/richest society. I could certainly never live there. I don't think I'd survive long term!

Biden was slowing but remained determined and showed character and had his countries back

Not like this monstrosity

This is the reality of the so-called "American Dream". People, who for the most part, couldn't give a fück about each other. Only interested in making money, getting ahead and beating down on those they think are beneath them. Felon 47 just tapped into that because it's exactly who he is too.

Is Stephen Miller, Putins love child? 🤔

Or do all spawns of Satan look the same

So you think the person who is rolling back on basic civil rights, firing competent people and replacement them with the incompetent and calling for ethnic cleansing is the best option? You've ignored everything he's done, you don't care about how innocent people suffer and may even enjoy it. You don't care that he's threatening American citizens with deportation or that they're planning to suspend habeas corpus, you'll just declare as some kind of strategy that you're fine with. You think a tyrant is the best leadership for the US, that's the reality and you don't care how corrupt he is. At least you're admitting that you support him at least.

Somehow I believe Biden or Harris would be focused in on important issues, as opposed to this deranged clown...

How the president can say such utter nonsense is beyond me. He firmly believes he is somehow responsible for Taylor Swift not being in the news.

For the record, she is on vacation after her world tour.

Yes, without doubt.

We could be in the midst of WW3 if she was in "power".

Not that she would be the one making the decisions if she had been elected mind you.

Trumps bark is far worse than his bite, the world is a much safer place with him in the Oval office.

Going down the conspiracy theory route again? There's absolutely no reason to believe she would send us down the path of WW3. I'm sure she wouldn't be calling for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, wouldn't be threatening the existence of NATO and wouldn't be threatening Greenland with invasion. She would be competent and that's the reality. Global stability is far more threatened than it has been in decades thanks to Trump.
