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

The great thing about Trump's parade being so lackluster while simultaneously millions attended the NoKings protests is that Trump lost on his own terms. Being so obsessed with crowd size is ridiculous but that is how Trump wants to play the game, and even based on his rules, he lost big time. You just know that had to sting. The fact that it probably ruined his birthday makes it all the more sweeter.

JJayoo · 16-06-2025 08:25PM

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

Hopefully not, let them suffer his incompetence to damage things enough in the next 3 years that only the most rabid magat would defend him and the .majority of Americans take a good long look at themselves, society and institutions and ensure a **** stain like him and the republicans can never short circuit the system again.

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.

On a side issue to Trumps stealing a march on California's Governor by calling up some units of California's Nat Gd, how long will the federalization order last and does it include a possibility that they being federalized units/personnel, some-one in authority in the Admin [using the Pentagon] could choose to deploy them abroad outside US territorial borders?

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.

According to CNN just now Trump is returning to the Whitehouse tonight due to the escalations of the Iran/Israel debacle.

accensi0n · 17-06-2025 01:37AM

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

In theory? Yes, but I can’t imagine it will happen, esp since the mob order is less than 60 days, last I checked.

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

And we all know the reality is that he probably couldn't hack multiple days of having to concentrate, not be the complete centre of attention, and do some actual work that isn't loud and noisy and gaining publicity

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?

This is the view Trump had.No wonder he had a sour puss.

Didn't think so.

CFlat · 17-06-2025 07:17AM

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.

kneemos · 17-06-2025 07:26AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123551844#Comment_123551844

He hasn't even done a deal with the UK.

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

re mental decline did we see an example of it right in front of our eyes when opening that EO type folder in front of an open air press conference with K. Starmer standing beside him. He opened the folder and a number of LOOSE SHEETS of paper fell out and Starmer bent down to pick them up while Trump struggled to stuff the ones hanging out of the folder back in.

In normal situations - AND AT THAT LEVEL - not only would you know what the written/typed notes are about in the folder but you would also know the approx number of sheets in it - be it one or five or fifteen or what? Trump himself would have known , and especially his managers, how the sheets of paper were secured OR OTHERWISE in the EO type folder.
so when Trump was on the plinth with Starmer with his folder he would have been expected to open it for all to ‘SEE’ the contents- in this case the ‘ commercial’ deal signed with the UK.

The whole episode indicated to me that the side of Trumps brain that handles proceedure, actions , etc, got disconnected from that part of his brain which deals with sorting out the consequences of possible actions Hence a DECLINE IN BRAIN FUNCTION

It’s like someone buying a half dozen eggs and a stone of spuds and then putting the eggs into your carrier bag first and ‘banging’ in the spuds on top of them and then expect the eggs to remain unbroken. Your brain does not connect the action with the VERY possible consequences

looksee · 17-06-2025 08:05AM

And you would have an assistant who is of sufficient quality to think - he will open this to wave it about, maybe I had better fix the sheets in place somehow.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123551959#Comment_123551959

forgot to mention that it may not be an example of mental decline. The sheets of paper fell out because that f——r , Biden and his troupe must have got at the folder and removed the security tags keeping the sheets in their place!!!!!!!!!!!

Ash.J.Williams · 17-06-2025 08:11AM

Trumps age and decline is showing and im not confident he can keep on top of the chaos he is creating, his own maga style is taking a physical and mental toll

I saw Christine Amanpour of CNN International saying on Sunday that Trump is an absolute idiot, surrounded by absolute idiots - he hasn't got the faintest clue what he is doing re. foreign policy. The proverbial bull in a china shop.

ronjo · 17-06-2025 09:23AM

Did Trump scamper back home because Zelensky was coming to the G7?

Being reported as due to Middle East… rumours US may join attack on Iran or give Israel the bunker buster bombs needed to hit the deep nuclear facilities.

US President Donald Trump has left the Group of Seven summit in Canada a day early due to the situation in the Middle East, the White House has said. French President Emmanuel Macron said Mr Trump had made an offer for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, a claim the US President has since denied.

After all the stress and emotion of the last few days he could simply be exhausted. At 79 he could well be discovering how the body doesn't recover as quickly as it used to.
