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

I’m not totally sure it will collapse- or at least not as quickly as say, the death of Trump.

Republicans, and indeed Democrats have seen the art of the possible over the last 200 days- most of us probably don’t like what we see, but “most of us” are not American voters.

He’s bulldozed a lot of departments that are deemed by many as irrelevant and a waste of money; he’s put the fear of God into anyone not a citizen- of which there are many and brought immigration back to a trickle not a flood; he’s kicked NATO’s butt; and his support for Israel and indeed Russia in some respects, both of which I detest I might add, is nevertheless seen as decisive and “strong” by many Americans.

Republicans are getting used to this new cool aid - it feels like they can achieve anything they want to and nobody is getting in the way- aside from Russia and China, all world leaders are coming to pay their respects to President Trump- like a mafia don.

We may absolutely hate what’s happening to both America and the world - but a hell of a lot of Americans are lov’in it- yes some goods will be more expensive due to tariffs- but there’s a good chance prices may stay low not from wise economics, but rather a recession of some kind. The MAGA polices have zero compassion for those in most need- but I reckon the American public are starting to dispose of compassion as a value and personal quality - looking after no 1 has come back centre stage- greed is good- Gordon Gecko reins again.
Let’s see what the interim elections produce- I’m not convinced it will be the decimation to the Republican Party that we think it will be. For the sake of America and to restore some checks and balances, I hope the Democrats do well- but I’m not at all certain they will

1) chaos? Really? If the only "chaos" from four years of Biden is that, we were plain fúçking sailing!!!

2) "Trump has done right, it's protecting girls & women" - E.J. Carrol and Virginia Giuffre's family would like a word...

The idea that this was and is a massive issue is culture wars bulls1t. His history of "grabbing women by the pu$$y" should have alerted you to that fact.

This is hilariously delusional.

He bragged about groping women.

Cheated on every wife, once with a porn star.

Was found liable for sexual assault

And has been accused of sexually assaulting multiple women.

Showing pretty odd priorities when you think a rapist is intent on protecting women. Also worth remembering one of the very first people he pardoned was Joe Arpaio who had accusations of failing to investigate sex crimes. You're so infatuated with transgender people that you'll happily say a rapist is protecting women. While he appears to be running a cover-up around his own involvement with a sex trafficker. Also has had a well known Irish rapist in the form of Conor McGregor on Patrick's Day. Do you think Nikita Hand or Jean E Carrol view him as a protector of women? Honestly sounds a bit morally bankrupt to claim him as a protector of women.

Trump is doing a great job on the female sporting front, and nobody can deny that. One by one the States and different sporting codes are bending the knee and shutting down male participation in female sport.

Thr LA Olympics are sorted too (on this issue) thanks to Trump.

You are aware some states aren’t complying with his executive order, right?

Doesn't matter. As always, it's just about owning the libs.

That's bonkers and it's not true …..

Simple cheek swab to prove sex, male or female, done. One DNA test sets up an athlete for life.

“This is as clueless of a post as I've read on this thread and that's saying something.”

Considering I feel the same about yours-(not in a snide or smarmy way- I just feel equally what you do)- we’re obviously poles apart and won’t agree on much.

I’ve no intention of challenging anything you’ve said- you essentially lost me with your opening line which told me all I needed to know.
It’s probably killing you I didn’t respond with abuse and bile but hey ho, it’s not how I roll
