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

Actually nearly all states became dependent on irregular immigration since it become a defacto economic policy in the 1940s.

Trump incited a mob to overturn an election result, and pardons people who attacked the police defending law and order.

He is a rapist and a felon, engaged in corruption and bribes on a vast scale - the air force one is the visible one, his cryptocurrency the obfuscated one.

Its fascism when masked goons abduct people off the street without due process.

Must have missed any posts from you criticising that.

Trump doesnt give a damn about law and order. His actions are intended to undermine it.

Proof positive any posts expressing concern for law and order are merely a partisan pretence.

It seems that the policy of chickening out on levies being applied against China is alive and well in Trumpland. Trump authorised the reduction in strength of some levies he imposed on China, telling Bessent and the others on the trade meeting with China in London today of the reductions.

The LAPD are doing exactly that. Look at any footage and you'll see it's the state law enforcement confronting the protestors.

Trump was far too quick to deploy the National Guard and has only inflamed the situation.

I was gonna say that has to be AI, yet here we are

Holy ****

With the greatest of respect, this guy is long past having a decent bone in his body.

If you were to timeline just the past 20 weeks you have controversy after controversy, after lie after pure and outright bullshit but none of it appears to hang around more than a week. The news cycle has it all moved into the last with trumps administration moving onto the next bat **** crazy item.

You've got to remember, as many have already said here, a significant percentage of the population knew exactly what they were getting in voting this guy in. The news cycle seems to bury whatever story was there in the previous few days, replaced by whatever they want in the narrative.

The only way this is heading is towards some form of civil war(in my opinion), whether it will go that far is anyone's guess but when you've got to keep moving on the news cycle with more and more off the wall stuff, all bets are off.

I've read plenty of Orwell in my time and not just 1984, he would absolutely loath Trump. Do you really think the writer of 1984 would be a fan of a federal government that cuts back on rights, targets the free press and supports book bannings etc? Next thing you'll be claiming James Connolly would have been a fan.

I meant decency in the human sense, not the Trumpian one.

I think the definition of what is decent has changed. I think what people see as decent, honourable or respectable has shifted significantly

Only congress can cancel the election, so no, they can't just cancel them.

Anything else on the pedo Epstein links? You'll still get creeps defending him if it's proved to be true

Gavin Newsom tweeted this a few days ago:

"Don’t give Trump what he wants. Stay calm. Stay peaceful."

It will probably get lost in the chaos of the last few days but it is absolutely insane that a governor felt the need to say that about a sitting US president.

The frog in the boiling water analogy feels quite apt here.

A WISE president in 2025 ….. assume office ….. tackle inflation ….. improve the economy …… set up meetings with Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Hamas, Iran, etc. …. and negotiate peace ….. and end up getting at least one of these issues sorted ……

A FOOL ….. harp on about an overexaggerated immigration 'problem' ….. boast about how 'great' he is ….. claim he is a dealmaker when he never made a deal ….. he broke a few ….. Iran ….. Paris ….. play golf and hand power to Stephen Miller ….. talk drivel 99% of the time ….. fall out with everyone ….. cause trouble wherever he goes ….. use rogue 'cops' to do his dirty work …. the man would fight with himself to be honest ….. clearly on too much vodka and amphetamines …..

People often wonder why this joker ain't in jail …. well prisoners have rights too …. and having this joker in the same cell would amount to extreme torture …. there is an alternative though …. now than Elon hates him perhaps this excuse for a president can be the first man to set foot on Mars ….. one way and terminal !!!
