Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

Not completely implausible. South American dictators used to fly any opponents out over the South Atlantic and dump them.

Well, the Nazis didn't arrive at the gassing thing all at once. They went through several schemes to rid them of 'untermensch' including deporting them to Madagascar and stuffing them in ghettoes.

This was after a general disenfranchisement from participating in society. That then graduated to executing them into mass graves, before finally landing at the industrialised slaughter that was the gas chambers and crematoriums. It was, as the name implies, the final solution. The one they deemed the most 'efficient' and 'effective' (I don't want to really apply these terms to genocide but I guess it's how the Nazis saw it…)

But that all comes after a period of dehumanisation. When you reduce a people to the level of a vermin, an infestation, a nuisance that needs eradication, you can do anything to them.

I have no idea what Trump's America might do to these migrants in time, but I do see the same kind of foundational language and attitudes being slipped in. The othering, the villification, 'they are the cause of all our problems!' and the disregard of basic human rights and due process. The direction of travel is the same. How far that road is gone down remains to be seen.

Great post!

I suspect it's far more likely he'll spend his time bitching on social media about not being nominated for a Nobel Peace prize simply because he met Netanyahu and it was the bestest meeting ever.

And that Israel will blow apart another group of people queuing for food within 48 hours of the "ceasefire".

How many ceasefires has he announced there now?
Was each one a "success" ?

And yet still you pop up this post this, positive proof you don't subject Trump's "announcements" to any sort of scrutiny. When it comes to Trump it is see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil.

Are you still praising the racist inhumane detentions camps in the swamp as something to be emulated?

I saw yet another interview with a regretful 2024 Trump voter who said his tariffs has totally upended his job as a truck driver because international trade is down. Then he said a person cannot be for low prices if they raise tariffs. At practically every public appearance or interview Trump gave during the campaign, he mentioned tariffs were a core part of his plan. He was the tariff guy. And now this moron is complaining that Trump implemented tariffs even though he voted for him.

These people are so stupid it is borderline hard to believe.

Too many people crumbling when faced with Trump's fury. Paramount could have easily won that in court.

Also, Mark Carney crumbling when faced with the fury of Trumps X postings.

Does anybody have the bottle to stand up to him? Is a poxy trade deal worth selling a country's dignity for?

He is going for Japan today. Hopefully they will stand their ground.

i generally have something a bit flippant to say but not so much this time…from what ive seen and read that place in florida is an actual concentration camp,as said above the nazis didnt start out on mass murder by gas,they tried a few different ways to do it,they started out along simular lines as donnie…both my mother(95) and mother in law(98) remember well WWII,only kids at the time but the snippets of news that did filter out were burned into their brains,they have been talking of very little else since this was announced,they are scared even though neither of them lives in america,they keep telling anyone that will listen this is how it started back then,have we learned nothing?…they watch the news and are so shocked and surprised that israel is doing what its doing in Gaza less then 90years after their own holocaust??short memory it seems…i had a great uncle,sadly died some years ago, that was in the british army in WWII,he was with the 8th Army under Montgomery,landed at Anzio and fought up through Italy,saw what both the nazis and mussolinis fascists had done there,was at Monte Cassino,after that he got a few weeks rest then sent to France(still with the 8th Army) a few weeks after the D-Day landings,his unit fought up through France,crossed the Rhine and were the first Allied unit into Belson…i remember as a kid asking him about his time in the war,all he would ever say was "ghastly,just fooking ghastly" he never,ever would say any more about it…we only found out about where he had been was when a suitcase with all his records,uniforms,medals etc came to light after he passed…i guess after this novel of a post what im trying to say is the world is heading back to those times it seems,is that really where we want to go back to?is it not time to say enough is enough?the people who lived through the last time we were at this stage are mostly all gone,their voices arent being heard,the few that are left really need to be listened too…

And both of the other nations concerned have confirmed that they have not agreed to it yet. Give him two weeks and maybe he'll force them to compromise their futures.

Oh gawd!

Anyhow another interesting parallel with the 20s and 30s is the weaponisation of a new medium. Back then it was radio and cinema, now social media is his megaphone with his cultists glued to his own platform.
