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

I don't see him serving a full term. He looks even fatter than he did the first term and mentally he's slowed way down. Fingers crossed the nightmare ends soon.

I highly doubt he'll ever see that new Navy ship.

What surprises me is that Landry is already holding down a job, that of Governor of Louisiana since Jan 2024 after he won the 2023 election. Either he will be double-jobbing and Trump & Co have no fears about the GOP losing that post or they think it of no import.

Probably a slow response while they discuss a response in the two halls, EU and NATO. Maybe there might be a faster response from another corner of the globe if the Chinese think/thought that Russia and Trump were finangling a sweetheart deal against the best interests of others.

Finangling: Cambridge Dictionary…. to use tricks and dishonest methods to get what you want:

I don't think that Trump would have the intellect to plan a version of the Gleiwitz incident but I have no doubt whatsoever that others would be bold enough to think that having some-one do something at the USAF base on Greenland would serve as a reason to increase U.S ground security forces on the base. Maybe just some-one local to enter and spray a slogan on an aircraft would do, given how the U.S is so touchy about how paint causes so much damage to aircraft at Shannon here.

And then Vance and the Johnston if that doesn't work out

There's no real job there imo (yet). He just has nod wisely to and repeat all Trump's (or Vance's) offensive comments about the US annexing Greenland.

If the little red (white) and blue men ever do go in, I suppose he might have to make decision about throwing his hat into ring to become Greenland's new US Gauleiter.

That could be a position where he and his family + cronies could gain far more personal wealth, so it may be attractive. That really seems to be almost the only driver now on the "Red" side of US politics.

Apparently according to MAGA all of today’s release implicating Trump is fake news even though much of it was reported when Trump wasn’t even a candidate for the presidency. So why would random people make accusations against him?
Pam Bondi is clearly working for Trump like all his other appointments, hired completely for loyalty

It's been said that these were redacted with fcuking Adobe. If you copy and paste the redacted bits into other documents it reveals what was redacted.

There is no way this could possibly be true right? No way their government are actually at that level of incompetence and stupidity?

macron said they were building war ships so man baby wants one as well.

Coincidentally the letter to Larry asserted Epstein took the short route home, not exactly cryptic whomever scripted the letter.

From CBS: SCOTUS has blocked Trump Admin from deploying Nat Gd under Title 10 in Illinois while a legal challenge moves forward.

Washington — The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a bid by the Trump administration to deploy National Guard members to the Chicago area while a legal challenge moves forward, delivering a setback to President Trump in his effort to use federalized troops in Illinois to ensure enforcement of federal immigration laws.

The high court left untouched a judge's decision blocking the government from putting National Guard members on the streets of Chicago and surrounding areas. The Trump administration had urged the Supreme Court to allow the extraordinary move to deploy the troops over the objection of Illinois' Democratic governor, arguing that federal courts cannot second-guess the president's decision to call the National Guard into federal service.

But the Supreme Court declined the administration's request to freeze that order in a decision that appears to be 6-3. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented.

In an unsigned order, the Supreme Court found that "at least in this posture" the Trump administration has not met its burden to show that Title 10, the law Mr. Trump invoked, permits him to federalize the National Guard "in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois."

Not exactly a present for Trump given the season.
