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

You'd think, that can't be for real.

Here we go.

Now, we will see the real impact of tariffs role in. These were always going to take time to kick in, this is only the start of it.

I never really pay much attention to golf but the fact that this current US' regime's odious behaviour has spilled over into a golf match like it seems to have done this weekend is pathetic. American arrogance on full display and it really is not a good look to put it mildly.

I’d be interested to hear from the people living there what’s the ultimate impact of this deployment?
MAGA won the election in part, due to creating a culture of fear - Fear culture created (even when there was no good argument to be fearful or at heightened levels) coupled with “strong leader” /“take no sh1t” imagery and narrative= MAGA seen as the “saviour” - thus election win.

I’ve no doubt every one of the states have their problems - but this feels like MAGA are creating a story for their own end- in a place of state they need in the next election -likely clearing the streets of homeless and dumping them in some suburb full of people who can’t vote or similar - it’s disgusting yes- but it’s also a clever move - Americans need to wake up to these obvious fear induced excuses for MAGA to market themselves as the saviours and protectors of democracy.

So if you are talking to the people you know, it would be interesting to hear what they’re saying in say 6 months time- do the streets “feel” safer to walk on? Has open drug taking and homelessness been pushed to deprived suburbs leaving the city centre streets feeling like a Stepford utopia ? Do the public feel “safer”?

That’s where we’ll see the real impact of these interventions - people may not like this intrusion right now- but will they come to accept it and even become accustomed to it and most importantly- not want it to end or to revert to the way it was? Thats when MAGA will have succeeded

Trump is going to bail them out with the tariff money collected, isn’t that what they called socialism?

He’s going to bail the out….again.

Will Maga be shouting “communism”, etc?

His administration says it will bail out the American farmers, but it looks like they're more interested in bailing out Argentinians.

As usual, he only hires the best lmao.

"So I only reviewed the one with the two counts that our office redrafted when we found out about the two — two counts that were true billed, and I signed that one. I did not see the other one. I don't know where that came from," Halligan told the judge.

Vaala responded, "You didn't see it?" And Halligan again told her, "I did not see that one."

Vaala seemed surprised: "So your office didn't prepare the indictment that they —"

Halligan then replied, "No, no, no — I — no, I prepared three counts. I only signed the one — the two-count (indictment). I don't know which one with three counts you have in your hands."

"Okay. It has your signature on it," Vaala told Halligan, who responded, "Okay. Well."

Trump to speak at hastily called meeting of top military leaders – reports

Maybe Trump was to lay down the law and threaten the military with treason if they don't follow orders or he might demand a personal Oath of Allegiance, he's definitely up to something.

So some-one in what is now Halligan's office screwed up by sending more than one indictment document reviewed and signed by Halligan of the counts being pursued against Comey after she took up the prosecutors job while she thought only one was sent to the court. How unfortunate that the second three count indictment wasn't shredded, still she's new to the career and task. Maybe Bondi and Trump will give her time to learn.
