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

"How could the Left do this to me?"

How long before the tapes come out of trump calling up governors of certain states asking for them to find a few more votes people

'None of it is my fault…'

The ultimate problem: The Republicans are less a political party and more a mafia/cult that abandons reason and those who vote for them are denser than a neutron star.

No. The problem is the people who slavishly return them to power again and again regardless of what they do.

They won't care.

The Dems will come in and have to clean up the mess, and will get grief for being fiscally responsible.

Rinse and repeat.

Utterly depressing

Don’t forget the GOP in the background will wail about the federal debt.

That could bring on a revolution where, with nothing left to lose, the people storming the place last stormed in 2021 might not be from any party assignation or trend, other than being better prepared very angry ****ed-over voters, following the example set by Trump and his ilk. One good thing is the GOP House and Senate members seem to prefer the business-suit & red-tie trend set by Trump.

It's strange that the trend now is for the "law-enforcers" to be the masked-ones and the persons seen as "criminal" are those not wearing masks, something of a change for the U.S. that.

This x1000

Hope the dumb fcuks really suffer after today!

Guaranteed they will still come out with usual mantra:

“President Trump needs more time to turnaround the economy”

Meanwhile their free meds and food stamps get stopped 🤣

The increase for ICE is Stephen Millers wet dream come true.

If America wasn't an attractive place to visit in the build to this, it just became a far more dangerous and scary place.

ICE is a cooler name than Rosgvardia. I suspect it will end up armed like a military force, one which already seems above the law.

It should be remembered that there are only so many illegal immigrants you can round up and deport, and a movement like MAGA always needs an internal enemy to rally against and justify its actions to itself.

So, as they say in the states, 'do the math'.

Exactly, there's plenty of 'enemies' MAGA can target and detain now and with a $150 billion budget they have little to no restrictions.

The supreme court has enabled trump to almost have the power of a king There's a whole new system of digital surveillance which is plugged into the IRS tax system and medical and employer records along with traffic plate camera recording system .This is made worse by apps and meta giving data to data brokers . Data brokers will sell data to Ice the FBI or anyone who has a small company .Theres basically no consumer data privacy laws in the USA and the agencys which might look after consumers rights are being taken over by Doge and neutered or most of the employees are being laid off. In the next few years millions of people will lose their jobs to AI They,ll discover they have no medical insurance .

The system should have checks and balances and the Senate Congress. to limit the power of trump but the problem is the supreme court has a conservative majority who seem to bend the rules and ignore legal precedent if it helps trump .

Another 4 trillion in debt could cause the cost of borrowing for ordinary Americans to be higher than it should be .

It seems every day some company announces 1000s of layoffs . America is not in recession but it s not a good time to be optimistic about the economy .

The problem is the democratic party is the party of the upper class rich. They have lost touch with the ordinary voter especially male and Latino voters. They don't seem to be able to make a case or explain why they should get in power or what they can do for ordinary people .
