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

Americans had a choice and where warned

He had been a bad 1 before did a great job hiding it perhaps that gap in-between helped.

Dems should of had him behind bars 2021 for jan 6, they underestimated his determination and cult following, especially stalling all other legal challenges in 24.

Keys of fort knox incoming.

He didn't hide anything. The difference is that he had some old establishment figures imposing very weak checks. Now, we have Project 2025 in full swing.

As for your comment about the Democrats, this is part of the problem. It shouldn't have anything to do with them. In a Republic, the judiciary, the executive and the legislature are supposed to be separate entities. Clearly, the judiciary was and remains captured which undermines the legitimacy of the Federal state. On the one hand, the Democrats adding more Justices to the Supreme Court might have led to more accountability but it would also have been more partisan meddling which would erode the legitimacy of the Court.

I think you should study your history. The East Wing was started in 1902. It is iconic and is part of American history. tRump lied to the American people, again, when he told them the wing would not be touched.

This is where the US is at...

Yes. I'm well aware. I'm related to several and I would daily be thanking God if I was a Christian that my Father lacks the requisite intelligence to create an account on X.

There's this weird cognitive dissonance on display where today farmers are wailing about Trump's insipid trade war wrecking their livelihoods and tomorrow they're voting Republican because something something woke, trans, or whatever.

I think the US is as much of a society as any other. There's just a much stronger emphasis on the individual and much less of a welfare state. The mainland US was never directly bombed during World War 2 whereas most of Europe was either bombed or occupied. Most European welfare states are the direct result of that conflict. The British tossed out their victorious wartime PM in favour of Clement Attlee's Labour party which created the National Health Service, among other things.

This was never a problem as the US just continued to innovate and grow and there was jobs for everyone. Now that the model is stuttering, the flaws and inequalities become more and more stark. There was always inequality but there was also enough growth and opportunities to keep the middle classes healthy and happy. The system is just not set up to cope with this and if the immigration stops, whole communities are just going to die.

MAGA isn't the solution to either this or any problem but we are all responsible for the choices we make. If the American people want a decomposing bigoted fascist as their leader and if they want to worship him as a God, then they can eat the consequences.

The next president that is elected should take a wrecking ball to Trumps White House ballroom and reconstruct the east wing from it's original plans.

That should be one of the election promises. Will probably get the candidate over the line in 2028.

Exactly, the US was never a country. Europe is far more cohesive than the US and its difficult to get agreement on many things. The general US population agree on nothing. For a country that proports to be the home of free speech, there's nothing they love more than impinging on others free speech. The southern states are religious zealots who then proceed to break every single commandment they claim to follow. The coastal cities are on the other end of the scale. Religion doesn't play a part in most peoples lives but yet they seem to have more morals in general than their southern cousins. The rust belt is living in the past, yearning for the 50s, completely unaccepting of what the world has become or their place in it.

Hate is where a large portion of the population reside. Hate and envy.

I think the name that's catching on is the Epstein Wing

I'll check out the video later.

Not to be nitpicky but is that a Combine Harvester you're referring to for a mere $1,000? Presumably you mean an individual $1,000 payment on the thing.

We saw something similar in the UK last year when Labour closed a tax loophole. Jeremy Clarkson and a load of other parasites turned up playing the victim card. I grew up on a farm and there's no way I could take days off to sit in a tractor on a main street in the capital virtue-signalling where there were animals needing feeding and a horde of other things.

RTE drive-time news programme is reporting that the EU is preparing, in principle, to freeze Russian assets to hand over funds to Ukraine, possibly for National Defence purchase needs. Zelenskyy is in the Eu today for talks, which may involve war reparation payments to Ukraine.

Course he did, party of law and order my arse

For those unfamiliar with the case
