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

Can you point to where the US has said they will restrict access to the country if you've merely been critical of Trump on social media?

And yes, other countries, such as the UK for example also check social media when looking at visa applications

He keeps raising the bar on himself.

"Nothing about the future"

Has he ever been to a museum 🤦‍♂️

You also gave to allow for fact that gambling is now pretty much legal everywhere and can be done on phone, plus marjuana is also pretty much legal everywhere, add the crazy prices, plus the fact that the stock market esp the use of apps and daiky option trading is the new gambling and there is zero reason to visit Vegas

I've been looking at the various responses to the latest Trump meeting, the varied responses to it from the U.S and Europe and the Russians. I'm not sure the Russians will be happy that Trump has succeeded in energizing the Europeans to put more of their time, energy and cash into European defence as a continental enterprise as Ukraine, being a neighbour, will benefit from the close attention Europe will be paying to Latvia, Lithuania & the other former USSR satellite nations.

The Russians also seem to be unhappy with the proposal from Trump that Putin meet with Zelenskyy as Lavrov, their foreign minister, is blowing hot and cold on the notion. I cant see them being happy at all with the way Europe's military chiefs are working out how to provide Ukraine with practical air fighter cover as it would lessen a need for European boots on the ground in Ukraine and help boost the number of downed hostile missiles and drones in Ukraine's national airspace, possibly inclusive of the territory Russia is illegally imbedded in.

Trump himself is doing both what Lavrov is doing AND still talking about trilateral meeting between himself, Putin and Zelenskyy, probably to keep people guessing and at the same time extending the period he can avoid putting more punishing sanctions on Russia to several more weeks or months. Duplicity is the name of the Trump and Russian game at this stage as the other players are likely to put the boot into Russia shortly.

All Europe needs is the military aid Trump told the world, including his own country, that he would give Europe as he would not be putting U.S boots on the ground in Ukraine. He committed the U.S to providing munitions to Ukraine several months back, between the two meetings he had with Zelenskyy in the White House, on a cash deal basis, boosting U.S arms sales and production into the bargain.

What would really sicken and hurt Russia is if Trump could be persuaded to hand over the Russian assets the U.S seized as part of the original sanctions to Ukraine or the Europeans who are going to do the carrying Trump won't allow the U.S to do for Ukraine. All that cash and gold etc sitting doing nothing except earn interest for Russia in the event it is given back to Russia in the next decade. It might even have an effect on the sales between the sanction-busting nations still trading with Russia, knowing Ukraine could suddenly be flush with ready cash and monetary assets. Get Bessent to make Trump understand that the Russian assets could become U.S assets from legal trading (arms sales) to Ukraine free of any sanction entanglement, courtesy of an Executive Order backed up by vote from his friendly Capitol Hill friends.

Trump is so dumb, it is amazing that he has any supporters left considering how dumb he is

Currently living in Vancouver, the "Made in Canada" signs are all over the stores, and I read there is a serious decline in sales of Californian wine in Canada overall.

Canadians are lovely, but they can be as bitter as Irish.

The bully has lost his one trick and is scrambling for another way to try and intimidate

Nice sort of a fella who allowed himself become directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of over 2 million people. All for the Israelis and oil money.
