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

This made me laugh.

Yes and his eyes were like slits. Bet he’s only getting a couple of hours sleep a night and is exhausted. No time for him but he has a fair amount of energy for a man of his age.

He's been impeached twice already, I can see it happening again if he splits his supporters or if the Dems make even minor gains in the midterms.

That's if there is mid-terms. I can certainly imagine a situation where he decides that it's too risky to hold elections due to "public unrest in major cities". People thinking that this nightmare will end in 2 or 4 years are in for a rude awakening, I think.

This just in.

Trump confirms the leaked reports that the strikes were unsuccessful are true.…

By tweeting at 3:30am that the reports were untrue

I think Donald's caps lock key is stuck.

Edit ....or maybe he sent it from Capital Hill.

So now he will just dismiss the intelligence community and their assessment of Irans nuclear processing capabilities because he knows better.

"While over a dozen bombs were dropped on two of the nuclear facilities, the Fordow Fuel Enrichment plant and the Natanz Enrichment Complex, they did not fully eliminate the sites' centrifuges and highly enriched uranium, CNN said, citing people familiar with the early assessment.

It said the assessment was produced by the Defence Intelligence Agency - Pentagon's intelligence arm - and is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by the US Central Command after the U.S. strikes.

The report by the Defence Intelligence Agency estimated that the programme was delayed less than six months, the New York Times said in another report"

You don't understand how impeachment works.

I described it earllier, but basically, it's a vote in the house, then a vote in the Senate with 2/3 required to convict.

All the Democrats need is a majority voting for it in the House to impeach. Should that happen via the 2026 midterms, I'd say its odds on to happen. Heck, it's 1.5 years till the midterms are over, Trump will supply plenty.

Then, the Senate needs a 2/3 vote so again, the midterms matter should the Democrats secure 66 seats - nothing is impossible, again enough rioting and violence and inflation in the US the Senate could flip as well, there are 20 GOP seats to be contested.

None of those things you assume about Iran or Israel are going to happen.

Trump wants praise for a ceasefire in a war he helped start. It's like a guy kicking your head in and wanting you to say thanks when he stops.

TBH, I think the world would roll its eyes if impeachment was instigated against Trump now- and it would be the death knell for democrats - they have been rabbit in the headlights since Trump arrived in town - a gutless ineffective shower of misfits is what they are.

There’s plenty to mock Trump over- but Jesus, I’m going to give him credit for starting to whip NATO into shape and about fcking time too- to see European world leaders lick his boots is pathetic but it needed to happen sometime - Europe’s response to the war in Ukraine was anything but united and completely ineffective and gutless - if there’s one thing Trump has been good at, it’s been that

Yes, but Donald has an alternative truth.

My view on impeachment is different- America is elected Trump - it needs to learn the hard way on what a bad decision looks like - impeaching Trump will just send fuel to the MAGA organisation - the world and America will have to deal with MAGA for decades - let them collapse and implode naturally over the course of the term - but given many so called Democrat voters voted for Trump this time, especially the ethnic vote- there’s a level of “thick” that needs to be taken into account before the message lands with these people so it’s going to take time

In terms of NATO- funding didn’t increase to anything near 5%- the commitment to 5% over the coming years has only happened now

What European "world leader" is picking his boots ?

If you mean Mark Rutte he may be European but he does not speak for Europe in any way.

It's a fair point he made though.

An Iranian-American interviewed by Mehdi Hasan a couple of days back said that even though many don't like the "regime" in Iran, they'd rally around them in a time of crisis in effect making them stronger. Same happens in Occupied Palestine with the population rallying around Mileikowsky when they're perceived to be attacked, its the reason he constantly wages wars of aggression. A crisis forces people to park their differences, band to together once they're perceived to have a common enemy.

The Republicans are splintering. They need to be handed more rope and not given a common cause….
