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

What is this 'Every country' he refers to?

every country is America and the country that runs America. Israel!

It's so obvious he's on a time crunch because he thinks he'll get it if there is peace in Gaza by then.

And once it's clear he won't get the Nobel Peace Prize he'll stop putting effort in.

Apologies, I edited my post because you're right :)

LOL

"Every country has signed on"

Lies, every time he opens his fat gob.

Iirc he's not likely to even be eligible for this year. Nominations for 2026 are what have been coming through this year.

I hope Greta Thunberg gets it.....

It seems like every week we get to a new low. Federal employees in the Dept. of Education, Dept. of Labour, Dept of Health and Human Services and the SBA were given templates to put in their Out of Office such as 'I am out of office because Democrats voted for a government shutdown. Some employees said their Out of Office was changed automatically but they feared retribution if they made a complaint

Some government departments such as the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development had messages on their websites blaming the Radical Left. The Office of Management and Budget sent a mass email to their employees stating that Trump opposes a shutdown but Democrats are blocking a resolution.

Separately Trump has posted on Truth Social that Democrats are the party of Hate, Evil and Satan.

Are we witnessing the end of democracy in the US?

I think calling him dumb is underestimating him entirely. He's incredibly gifted at a) appealing to the under-educated in society and b) preying on people's innermost fears and prejudices. He's also excellent at getting across simple (often ridiculous) ideas in ways that people are either enchanted by, or confused by and tricked into voting for him based on falsehoods. There's no doubt his political instincts are excellent. It's why he's where he is today.

That said, as I've mentioned many times, I view him as the absolute worst that the human race has to offer. He is that vile. An utterly disgusting cretin that needs to be consigned to the history books ASAP.

Trump is proof that stupid people end up in important positions.

Him being president does not mean he is smart or clever. His actions and words point towards a person of very questionable intelligence.

But, he does claim to know more about everything, than anyone who has ever lived…so there is that.

The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons.

Son,

I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out..

You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.

I am not a saint, far from it.. so don’t throw that in my face,. but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.

Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as “unstable” for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.

I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side… bunk… we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont’ care)

Don’t you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us… that’s what babies do. It’s time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women

We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don’t want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted]

And yes, we are praying for you (and you don’t deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply)

I don’t want an answer to this… I don’t want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But… On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say… get some help and take an honest look at yourself

Mom

yup.
