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

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.

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.

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.

The moves by the Trump administration to conceal, distort, or falsify economic and financiial data on the US economy are not only disturbing: they are basically mad and futile.

For example Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick wants to revise the way GDP is measured, basically by excluding Government expenditures. National Income accounts are done according to an internationally agreed set of rules. Whithout that, you could not compare one country's GDP with another (not that this is straigtforward iat present).

Lutnick as former CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald either knows how mad this is, in which case he is a complete charlatan, or else he doesn't know, in which case he is a gibbering idiot, Take your pick

It’s clear Trump and Israel are working hand in hand- this is all well planned - Trump knew the 60 day deadline would pass- he knows he now has very extreme demands placed on Iran (give up nuclear) that they won’t concede to - it’s a faitcomplit - given more US warships in transit it’s a matter of days before we’ll see some serious fireworks in Iran - you can see through Trumps lies a lot more clearly now than ever before- everything to date with Israel was pure choreography - US and Israel are one- it’s no surprise given what Trump is doing to people in America - two sides of the same coin

My understanding is even bunker busters won't penetrate the actual mountain one of the Iranian facilities is under.

Just hours after the killings and shootings of those Democratic politicians and their spouses, Trump wrote a post that included the line, “Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities.”

Only a deeply troubled person could do that. No sense of empathy, or understanding of cause and effect, or even just basic decorum. He is a sociopath.

Well, A few thoughts.

• At the G7 he could get hourly briefings on developments if he wanted, but currently it's just Israel and Iran bombing the shite out of each other, but it's cooler to be able to tell the press "I'm convening my war cabinet in the sit room"
• He got a frosty reception from the other leaders, especially from Mark Carney
• The Tarriff discussion was not going his way
• Was meant to have a meeting with Volodimir Zelensky today, probably another frosty discussion. It'd be great to avoid that awkward conversation.
• In the Whitehouse, he can select who from the press asks him questions, at the G7, it's a free for all by the worlds press. Not ideal.
• There was no gold decor in the hotel in Canada.
• No president has ever been as treated as unfairly as he has. Not even the ones who were killed in office.

I had thought someone would tried to cash in on the MEGA mood earlier with a "Freedom Phone", but they'd be up against brand Trump who could shape tariffs to suit his own gold plated "Trump 1" phone!

The second generation of that phone will be called T2. Not sure that's a good name for something full of AI software 🤣

You don't necessarily need to destroy the facility under the mountain, just destroy the entry points. How you get personnel and supplies in and out of it. It'll take the iranians at least a month to rebuild that part of it. The day after it's complete, go and blow that up again.

 i.e. hes doing just fine!

I'm reading Original Sin the book about the cover up about Bidens decline. That phrase was repeated by his inner circle over and over "He's fine!"

Are you being serious?
