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

Levitt on Fox - "Electricians, plumbers -- we need more of those in our country, and less LGBTQ graduate majors from Harvard University. And that's what this administration's position is."

Note the use of LGBT, because she believes while the average Joe doesn't like Harvard, they don't dislike them quite enough.... so she uses that the acronym to make the idea even more unlikable.

She, along with the rest of this administration, are despicable bigots and petty bullies. I hope any members of her circle of friends or family completely disown her.

Disgusting remarks, passed off with a smile.

I know it's cheap to say that it's like Nazi Germany but it really feckin' is. They've identified their enemies within (LGBT people, BLM, pro-Palestinians, liberals, socialists, etc) and their enemies without (Ukraine, the EU, China, various international institutions, etc…). Once they're done with these, they'll turn their hate on the American working classes.

It's been done before and we know how this ends. The irony is that anyone with some cop on who isn't desperate would be thinking very carefully before moving to this dystopian, cultureless cesspit of a country where a man with three dozen convictions is not just Head of State but worshipped by tens of millions of people like a god. No wonder they want to destroy education.

It's also rather telling they assume that there's no LGBTQ plumbers and electricians.

It's already been admitted that the Golden Dome as planned will not cover all of the USA land mass so they will be cherry picking what States will be getting protected.

This will be a non-runner, just something that Trump can spout on about for the next 3.5 years.

And what attack brought America in to WW2? Pearl Harbour in Hawaii which won't have the Golden Dome protection. 🙄

Is anybody asking him how his conceptual plan to replace medicare is coming along?

Factory work is the future for Americans

• U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick says factory gigs are the “great jobs of the future” that Gen Z could work in for the "rest" of their life—and so could their grandkids. But the workforce’s youngest cohort probably won’t be running to fill the roles.

Some white-collar workers may be on the brink of layoffs thanks to AI, but the secretary of commerce says they will always have a place in America’s factories. As the U.S. puts up high tariffs and curbs immigration, the administration hopes to fuel an intergenerational manufacturing boom.

“It’s time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future,” Howard Lutnick told CNBC this week.

It is trivial in the grand scheme of what this administration is doing, but the name One Big Beautiful Bill just demonstrates how deeply unserious these people are.

Sarcasm requires a basic level of intelligence to understand - something that is severely lacking among the MAGA zealots.

Except for vrt. That’s fine.

They voted for this. Twice.

America knew what it was signing up for. They saw the blatant racism, they saw the society of Christian fundamentalism, they saw the open corruption, they saw the hatred of democracy and desire for dictatorship, they saw the removal of law and replacing it with deference to demagogue's thoughts, they saw the removing themselves from the world, they saw the hatred of everything not American (and by American, I mean white and male-dominated 50's America), they saw the deference to Israel as part of the Christian fundamentalists obsession with the rapture and the end of times, they saw the alliance with the openly racist and white Christian Russia.

And they said "yup, that's what we want". This is America as most of Americans wanted and voted for.

And if Trump's incompetence, greed, corruption and paranoid narcissism ends them as an empire, then good riddance if that's what they aspire to be.

The big question is, is the alternative world economic superpower, which in these modern times is China, worse for the world?

Not wanting China to be the world leader because they're an autocratic regime, well that still stands. China is run by a brutal repressive regime with a shocking human rights record. But that's what the US is wanting to become, and under Trumpism is head full steam towards.

So when the world is looking on wondering which brutal repressive regime with a shocking human rights record to do deals with for the rest of the century, they're going to look at China and the US, and they're going to decide that of the two China at the minute is the stable one that wants to trade, builds ports and roads in parts of the world they're looking to exploit and don't engage or fund massively destructive wars, and the US is the one that wants trade wars, real wars, doesn't build anything abroad to further trade or goodwill, and drives conflict in every part of the world due to it's huge military industrial complex.

The world will chose the stable regime capable of small amounts of goodwill who confirms it's power through stability and trade that is China over the mad regime who confirms it's power through funding wars to destabilize and mop up, and does not want trade that it Trumpist America.

That's where the American empire ends. When they become so decadent and corrupt, what was once the the worse evil becomes the clearly better, saner and more stable choice as a world leader.

the penguins are getting it together…last i heard theyve put calls in to the emus,polar bears and the orcas,sh1ts about to get real! 😎
