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

And the worst part about it - Mitch McConnell is right. Voters will just get over it and continue to vote against their own interests.

The clearest indicator yet Musk is starting his own political party

The actual president of the USA.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, a third rate Democrat politician, has no idea what is in our fantastic Tax Cut Bill, nor would he understand it if he did. This DOPE has been consistently losing to me for YEARS, and I love watching his ugly face as he is forced to consistently concede DEFEAT TO TRUMP — And tonight should be another of those nights. Raskin is a bad politician, and a TOTAL LOSER!

Didn't some Israeli minister insist there couldn't be genocide in Gaza because there weren't train carriages and gas chambers?

President Trump's marquee Bill has passed the first hurdle in Congress. Great achievement so far 👏 Soon ordinary working Americans will be enjoying big tax cuts.

I can understand some ordinary Americans getting duped by Trumps campaign during the election. A lot of Americans feel left behind by the system, are not comfortable with the the volume of immigration and are a lot broker that they were 5 - 10 years ago dye to inflation.

What I can't understand is the people who still support him now, 6 months in, and can't see that the only people he is serving is the lobby massive lobby groups, like oil companies etc. and his billionaire friends. All while whipping up hate against minority groups, and brown/black people.

The people who still support him, after he has fully revealed who he is, can only be described as morons (unless you are a billionaire looking to get richer) and the fact that it looks like his approval ratings are still hovering around 40% of the population, says a lot about America as a whole.

I had high hopes for America figuring him out early, and kicking him to the kerb, but I now fear this has to run it's course before the slow learners in the population finally cop on to him, when unfortunately, it will be too late.

The USA exploited irregular immigration since WWII when it first brokered a labour agreement with Mexico to ensure crops got harvested for the war effort. The fact that this has been a norm for eight decades but is now a problem is more about one political outsider stoking racism to gain traction.

I think you and I both know the answer to that question....

I no longer have any time for the "left behind" narrative. One leaves keys or a phone behind, not millions of people.

The US is a democracy, albeit a deeply flawed one. The hole in the left behind narrative is that people in red states have spent generations voting for a party that actively despises them and we see the result time and time again.

I could maybe have sympathised in 2016 but the response of these places is to harden and deepen their support so here we are again. Biden deliberately went out of his way to help places like this and it didn't change their minds one bit. I used to think that all they wanted were good jobs and purchasing power but clearly a lot of Republican voters only care about making the other suffer.

For a country that loves to beat its chest about free speech and being number one, there seems to be a real culture of sycophancy and anti-intellectualism over there. Anything goes so long as certain sacred cows such as the second amendment are never seriously questioned.

It's disgusting seeing them act as victims now when they had their choice between a competent leader and the parasite they actually chose.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was illegally deported to El Salvador was subjected to torture. This also raises the fact huge numbers have been subjected to torture as a result of Trump's deportations. To all those who jump into the thread to praise Trump, you are supporters of this ultimately.

Trump always said he will not cut medicare the sad thing is this bill will hurt all middle class voters and all working class voters s eg 90 per cent of trump voters cutting tax breaks to solar wind energy is crazy in the face of high demand for more power generators. It also kills an industry that has 100,000 workers who all pay tax it makes no sense at all it's estimated 50ooo people will die every year for lack of access to healthcare it also makes it more expensive for any woman who wants to have children it's a truly evil cruel bill that will shape the whole American economy for years to come

The suffering is fine when it affects everyone but me. It's the same tedious line over and over again from these cretins.

I was reading today about an Ulster Unionist politician who was badly bullied by senior officers in the British Army. He said that being a Unionist should have exempted him, not that the bullying was wrong.

It's always the same thing.
