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

He won't. I think he'll just say whatever and flipflop as it suits him.

I'm glad Zelenskyy will have significant back up this time. Trump ambushing him last time was tough to watch.

Why on earth would Macron bring up Epstein files? It has nothing to do with Ukraine, France or Europe.

I was thinking, aside from the intermix of Civil Police and Military not always been to the better, that using MP's would be better than Inf on foot patrols in an urban setting (if needed). Comms and mindset would be another thing, as the sets & radio-speak could be different. Actual provable shifts in crime pattern results would be nice as the crime rate in DC has reportedly fallen by 30% over last year.,, no mention made of it accelerating since Jan this year, apart from one specific reported crime incident which attracted a lot of attention.

On the aside, it would be a pity if his efforts to clean up Washington were solely reached by utilizing the N/G in support of the civil sanitation engineers clearing away tent city, purely giving the city a manicure. I can almost hear the "here we go again" mutterings in certain quarters, "THEY want **** cleared up but don't want to pay the bill".

The locations where the former Washington tent city residents were moved to in order to achieve his urban regeneration desires doesn't seem to be clear yet. Edit: Gentrification was the word I wanted, not urban renewal, but as Trump is big into property deals, both would do.

On the plus side the American public do now not need to read between the lines to see their president is a lying piece of shlt and Puti`s puppet.

If you are going to start from the premise that Trump deploying troops to clear the streets of the homeless is acceptable then you would be setting a very low bar would you not ?

Using troops answerable to one individual to forcible move people to camps has been the thin edge of the wedge in the past and hasn`t a great history. If it has to be done then why not have the civil authorities do it.

I’d guess that by the time he goes and is possibly succeeded by Vance, the history books in American schools will have been reprinted to paint him in glorious terms.

I totally agree on the "there will be a special chapter in the history books for Trump comment. I would prefer that he not be the winner being covered by a ghost-writer.

Putin and Russia are there for the taking if the will was there from the US. Tighten Oil sanctions and more materiel for the Ukrainians would see the Russian effort slowly grind to a halt. Trump is keeping him in the game. A blunt united message needs to be delivered from as much of the rest of the world as possible.

I can’t begin imagine what the ‘ traditional’ US military and intelligence community think of the strategic genius the current POTUS is … peacemaker and deal broker and all ….

Is the Zelensky meeting going to be held in the United States or Alaska ?
