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

You are absolutely correct. I am responsible for procurement in an organisation who has a large footprint in the US.

The America first attitude is costing the American economy billions. I can procure the same product in Ireland for a third less than it would cost me in the US. The installation of that product is easily 3x that of Ireland......and as you know Ireland is a famously cheap place to do business.

Some people made a killing last night. Talk about beginners luck, open an account, put a leveraged short on and hit the jackpot an hour later.

See the article i posted above that shows this has been in the works for a long time. Its common for allies to come to the US and be based at various facilities for training purposes. In this case, apparently Qatar doesn't have the airspace for proper training with these type of planes. I met several British people stationed here at Creech when that was a thing. They were stationed here for a long enough time that their familes came with them, and then they went home. Its a few hundred at most and in no way jeopardizes operations in the home country. Why are people acting like the entire qatari air force is moving to Idaho?

Junior and Eric will be in on this, they knew/supplied the info, they know the value cos their mates tell them and pay them.

One might suppose a neighbouring country's leadership (Bibi) might look at the arrangement and wonder if it's in it's best interest for Qatar's air force getting good instruction and training on international force cooperation from USAF and combined ground/air defence thousands of miles away where there's little risk of accidental cross-border shoot-downs, just tons of free air space.

Bibi may have blotted his Military copybook with the War Sec's Dept and other US future planners, not just Trump, when he OK'd the attack on Qatar. His people won't be able to mess around or interfere with actual Qatari/U.S training cooperation, though Mossad will get friendly advice on how the training is working out.

I'd imagine that any Qatari military pilots on the training list would be vetted for loyalty to the Qatari regime first in case one goes rogue in U.S airspace.

4.8% body fat apparently, they couldn't even pick a realistic number 😂

They're also a country he does a lot of personal business with. 😉

MAGA firebrands Laura Loomer, Steve Bannon and Max Abrahams criticise Hegseth announcing a Qatari airbase in Idaho.

It raises questions given commercial ties of WH's friends with Qatar.

Breaking on MSNBC: The acting U.S. Attorney in Maryland is moving forward quickly to seek criminal charges against Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton, according to two people familiar with the case.

A complaint or an indictment could come as early as next week.

Kamala Harris was asked if she was surprised at the fact that Trump did everything she warned the nation about.

She said no, but what *did* surprise her, was the capitulation.

It's a f**king disgrace that people are following his orders.

where did you see this number?

that is laughably ridiculous….

'Something stuck in his head': Zeroing in on Trump's mental decline | Opinion

"Trump is clearly unwell, and people in the White House are manipulating him and making their own power grabs.

Pritzker, Gallego and Dean were right to publicly raise the issue of mental decline. Every Democrat should do exactly that and force the media to put the White House and Trump on the defensive about it."

Damning article on Trump, the guy is nuts and in major decline, Nobel Prize knockback ain't going to help.
