Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 06/06/25

are they mutually exclusive ?

Latest counts on #NoKings marches (alt national park)

"We’re honored to announce a final count of 13.14 million in attendance across 2,300+ No Kings protests nationwide. It took a little longer to finalize due to the sheer scale, but the turnout was historic!
So far, 71 MAGA agitators have been arrested, with 62 additional investigations still underway."

If true its above the 3.5% rule, now that does specify it requires continuous action, but it is a good indicator if that level of protest is sustained and continues to increase.

Mr Trump landed at the G7 meeting and immediately lamented the fact that his pal Putin had been thrown out of the G8…

the G’s are supposed to respect the world order , institutions and values and respect one another. Putin snatched Crimea and was expelled

Based on his presidency so far and his nation snatching ambitions. perhaps it’s time for a G6 ?

Better still reserve the G title to the G20+ and try including the rest of the World in decision making for a change.

You have to understand how utterly stupid his followers are. When they see a 'G whatever' thing, they are not thinking about what that means… like a child sees the term 'OG' online and thinks they must know a thing or two

I like how the parade was sponsored by coinbase 🤣🤣🤣

One thing that has grabbed my attention and that is what happens the companies and businesses set up and [until now] run by people who were in the US on temporary visas courtesy of different administrations but, due to the slowness of the application process, when they've continued turning up, as obligated, at the Dept offices processing the paper work ICE arrests and detains them for the purpose of deportation sometimes in a different state to the one they were detained in. With them gone or going for good, the businesses probably close up for good.

Along with the deportations hitting the numbers in the labour force at farms etc, this means loss of production and employment along with revenue to the Feds and the states. Who buys the closed down companies to restart them? Is this a deliberate practice being used to enrich carpetbaggers and friends of those in positions of power?

Given how Trump and his sons has set the example on how to use their privileged positions to sell trash to the willing, it would not be possible for the people in Trump presidency offices to ignore the Ads pushed by the one at the head of the column.

They clearly love him. When he woke up he declined to sign a G7 joint statement calling on Israel and Iran to knock it off. Then he stands next to Starmer and brags about the EU trade deal he just made with Starmer.

Tomorrow, he will probably fall for Bibis ego stroking in an attempt to get the the US involved in bombing Iran.

He gives the impression that he wishes he hadn't been elected and he's being forced to do chores by his mammy.

Problem is that the electorate seem to have very short memories, and for a large proportion vote exclusively with their pockets.

There was tons of outrage through his first term, he was universally unpopular, and drove the largest voting turnout ever to defeat him, and then instigated an insurrection in the capital after he lost.

But four years later, inflation is high, and a massive number of people just remember that they felt like they had more money when Trump was last in, so they voted him back in.

It's almost always the boom and bust cycle of the Reps and Dems.

Rep comes in, inheriting a decent economy. Introduces policies to make the rich richer, starts things turning the wrong direction. Dem comes in and inherits an economy in poor shape. Has to make hard decisions to try sort things out. Gets blamed for the bad economy they inherit. Addresses problems and economy is recovering. Election comes around and Rep says "look the economy is worse now than when we were last in" (even if they caused the current pain and the Dem president had to make the hard decisions). American public say...they're right, I did have more money back then. And so the cycle continues...

Combine that with the apparent dumbening of young voters, who, thanks to social media, now just vote for the most "famous" person, and you wind up with 4 more years of Trump

He's already been made to look like the oaf he is by questions from non-supine press. Different when you're outside your bubble, huh Donny?

So Trump shakes hands with Starmer and says he is delighted to have done a deal with the US and the EU! I think that's a bigger faux pas then Biden calling Zelensky, Putin. Is this the start of his mental decline? Considering some of the things he's said and done over the last 6 months, it's hardly surprising I suppose.

He has the concepts of a deal

4D chess….. making Starmer bend down to him
