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

Trump seems to have come to the conclusion that he has reached the limits to which he can rise legally, having been elected twice to the U.S presidency, and there is no other office higher than that so the only way he can stop the inevitable slide downhill is to become the dictator in control of the U.S. It's like when he mentions things in the past, which were thought impossible for him to achieve, and then he went on and did them, achieving what other people would not have.

His latest thing is about restricting the rights and ability of U.S citizens to vote, by another of his executive orders, that Postal Votes would (Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military) be very restricted to and that voting would be done at ballot centres using paper ballots forms after the voter had produced valid identification. It's not the first time he's promoting this as acceptable. It is not within the remit of the U.S president to decide how the vote is done in the U.S. and certainly not part of the OFFICIAL DUTIES of POTUS. That role is set out for the individual states and for Congress to make new federal laws on the matter.

He obviously fears the honest vote of the citizen and is intent, by way of an imperial presidency, to unlawfully usurp the role of Congress, the limitations of the constitution and the Presidential vote procedure to retain hold of the Oval Office. He's made the first move by bringing a section of the U.S military on to the streets bearing arms for an illegitimate purpose without much protest from the populace, opening the door himself for more, extreme, measures by was of another executive order.

To the folks in the U.S., you may be looking at the dying days of the U.S Democratic Republic and watching it's rebirth as a dictatorship under a self-styled president for life, Donald the first.

Who would have thought it could be toppled so easily ?
How many other ‘democracies’ are built on similar sand?

It's the sycophancy that gets me. I've been hearing for decades how politicians are all no good, crooked, in it for themselves, etc… Then you see this sh*tshow where this creature is worshipped almost as a God. There are whole tracts on the bible about the worship of idols and false gods and these are thrown to the wind by those who spend the most time talking about their faith the most.

and one of the most notable incidents of idolatry involved Gold - a nation led astray by a golden calf.

In the 21st century the adored one is a gold obsessed bull ologist.

nothing truly new under the sky !

America is truly fcuked, paying compensation to people who tried to overthrow the government and battered the capitol police. Of course he wants Pirro to chair it an alco devout MAGA Trump loving FOX presenter, ticks all the boxes

It seems feelings are more important than facts. Crime rates are actually dropping by significant numbers. For example murder rates in Louisiana are 4 times higher than California. You don’t hear that on Fox or other right wing outlets.

Republicans are a real problem though:

there are loads more examples

…..

Conspiracy theory incoming : Trump's secretly run off to China to see if he can jostle his way into the presence of his idols. A bit like that time Ivanka tried to get noticed at that meeting of serious statesmen and women back in Trump1time.

Trump could explode in a geyser of imitation cheese and diet coke tomorrow, or he could live to 110, surviving off pure spite. I really don't know which. But he's already beyond the overall life expectancy for U.S. males. He's in the phase of his life where it wouldn't be that surprising for anyone to die, no matter how healthy their lifestyle has been. If anything, he's a statistical outlier, considering his diet and lifestyle.

Warren Buffet is similar. Drinks mainly Coca Cola. Loves fast food and sweets. How is he still alive at 95?

I'm an atheist and I'd pray for that 😅

Interesting theory on his health here, and that the WH may be covering up a stroke.
