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

The adrenachrome and pizza gate stories are just that,nonsense, but that's the point as I see, most people would roll their eyes and stop listening at that point,

But what is much more believable is, epstien has links to mossad and between them set up a honey trap effort to get dirt on rich and powerful people to use against them when it suited them. Totally believable,and a bit more that just rich people do horrible stuff.

"in two weeks"

About the only thing that could f*ck it up would be Trump himself or the DOGE inspired finance-cutbacks. With NATO to provide the funding, nothing should go wrong barring Russia doing something to stop the arrival in Europe of the batteries. I noted today mention of other armaments being included in the delivery list to Ukraine.

So are we supposed to now applaud Trump for ending up where he should have been three years ago and certainly 6 months ago? Is this his big plan on how to end the war on day 1? To provide weapons to Ukraine, the exact same as Biden did? That aiding the defence of Ukraine is actually the right thing to do?

This is after yet another flip-flop from Trump. What happened to his stance that it was all Zelenskys fault and that the US were not going to pick sides or get involved?

Yet again Trump has been shown to be completely wrong on almost everything.

Any theories on why Epstein killed himself?

He was on a suicide watch it seems and this was not the first time he had tried it.

I think his brother has said he doesn't think he did kill himself.

Did they ever stop?

Lucky if he didn't end up in Alligator Alcatraz, apparently they have 500 held there in horrendous conditions for nothing more than traffic offences while being in America without a valid visa

A quick read indicates he had some kind of an episode. So it would be pretty questionable to lock up a man in the US with no communication with his family if he's mentally unwell. Arranging him getting back to Ireland so he can get any medical attention that he needs would strike me as far more important.

It's also pretty clear from the article that his girlfriend is concerned about his mental well being. So diminishing something that we have limited knowledge isn't remotely appropriate.

Being pedantic, as already remarked on by others it is worse than Biden because others in NATO (not the US, largest economy in the org.) will pay for all of it!

The US is just the seller. The value ($10bn?) also seems like it could be covering considerably less weapons than one of the Biden admin. US military aid packages.

He could have announced something like this months ago too, at the start of opening his negotiations with Russia so why the hemming and hawing, the halting of aid to Ukraine and diplomatic nastiness towards its govt., the spreading of Russian lies about the war + cosying up to Putin in the meantime?

All he did by that was egg on the Russians and also signal hard to backers in China, NK, Iran etc. that a lot of Western support of Ukraine is on the clock here, soon to end and the war may be "winnable" + if they continue to back Putin now, or even increase support, they will gain from it in future.

The secondary US sanctions threats against countries trading with Russia, I'll believe that when I see it and 50 days is an absolute eternity for the gadfly US government right now.

But what money does it save? Do you expect spending on the military to now decrease by 10bn this year? It's the same with NATO spending. It won't make 1c difference to anyone in the US.

Should the US continue to provide weapons to Ukraine? You cannot say no and yet continue to expect the US to provide weapons to Israel. And yet nothing is said about that.
