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

And according to them, the EU will throw Ireland under the bus…any day now.

It's telling which posters eat up Musk's propaganda at this stage..

because Musk isn’t friendly with any black farmers?

I still only see you quoting what he said but claiming it's saying something else.

So far nobody has disproved Kermits assertion that Trump did not say there was genocide being committed in SA.

One poster has ancdotedely stated they saw it on RTE. Another poster linked suppossed proof but on closer inspection there was no such proof.

So what we actually have is posters thinking Trump was implying there was genocide being committed in SA.

Personally I think he was categorically claiming there is indiscriminate killing of white farmers in SA with very little being done about it by the authorities.

That's what I take from the clips I've seen.

I've no idea if that's true or not, I know a lot of SA in Ireland but have never owned a farm or lived there.

Trump says his "Gold Dome" national defence system will include an anti-missile weapon located in and fired from outer space AND will be jointly used for defence by both the US and Canada.

Interesting as King Charles will be paying a state visit to Canada on the 25th and 26th and [according to a Rep of HM Govt] will be sending a message to Trump that Canada is NOT for sale.

I quite enjoyed when he casually asked "Mr president where is that video from" 😂

African leaders are way better equipped to deal with Trumps shenanigans than ours.

Our leaders are too busy clutching their pearls trying to be PC.

You command 400 military personnel.

What would you do if your were ordered to deploy those troops within the US borders? (Aside from a disaster support role like helping to put out fires or rescue people from floodwaters)

Just seen the incident on BBC's website. What a c**t he really is.

Part 2 of that question

Do you think giving the 'wrong' answer to that question could put your career in jepordy if it could be viewed as disloyal to Trump or his administration?

Interesting, I hadn't seen this was in process.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Twelve states on Wednesday urged a federal court to strike down President Donald Trump’s sweeping taxes on imports, saying he had exceeded his authority, left U.S. trade policy dependent on his whims and unleashed economic chaos.

Declaring that the United States’ trade deficits add up to a national emergency, Trump invoked the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEPPA) and rolled out 10% tariffs on many countries on April 2 — “Liberation Day,’' he called it. He imposed stiffer “reciprocal’’ tariffs of up to 50% on countries that sell more goods to the United States than the U.S. sells them. (Trump later suspended those higher tariffs for 90 days.)

The states argue that the emergency economic powers act does not authorize the use of tariffs. Even if it did, they say, the trade deficit does not meet the law’s requirement that an emergency be triggered only by an “unusual and extraordinary threat.’' The U.S. has run a trade deficit with the rest of the world for 49 consecutive years. “This is not an unusual problem,’’ Brian Marshall, an Oregon state attorney, told the judges Wednesday.

So you have to shift the goalposts now?

To help you along here, seeing as you don't seem to want to read ANY news articles about it.

The footage, played during a news conference with Cyril Ramaphosa, showed thousands of crosses lining a road that Trump claimed marked burial spots for murdered white farmers.

He said genocide, he also said it along with persecution as he usually throws a lot of terms at a sentence to try and sound all encompassing.

Care to use a bit more whataboutery?

Curiously enough, some of the debaters here claimed after the broadcasting of the Oval Office meeting today that Trump DID NOT use the word Genocide when he was talking to Ramaphosa. Those debaters were siding with Trump's approach to his meeting with Ramaphosa.

I'm going to nod off now but one thing I reckon is certain with these Afrikaans refugees is that they'll want to self governance in the USA. They're fellow travelers with the Zionists and Northern Ireland Calvanists who believe in a promised land, despite someone else already living there.
