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

Anyone who, at this stage, thinks there is no conniving between Trump and Putin to continue the war Russia began on Ukraine is not simple, confused or bluffed, but is lying and criminal, just not to the same extent as Trump and Putin. Trump runs the risk of having an international war crimes warrant being issued for his arrest, the same as Putin, if he continues giving fraternal cover and legitimacy to Putin. Personally, I'd feel obliged to attend at a protest against Trump's landing here in Ireland due to his disrespect for the rule of law and for the rights of people who don't fit his image of society members.

He says be believes Putin and heard about the attack before he went into his meeting with Zelenskyy. What is not to be said about Trump's character that he would go with Zelenskyy after a group meeting and give a press conference without mentioning that Putin told him Zelenskyy's people has launched a drone attack on Putin's residence a day or two before, that has not been displayed before to his own country, let alone an international audience? Putin chose his puppet well.

The notion could get MM off the horns of a dilemma of making the usual trip to DC with shamrock on March 17. A diplomatic notice to Rubio saying there could be no visit while Trump was accepting the word of Putin, a dictator warring on Ukraine and threatening to war on Europe in general, over that of Europe where it came to war and peace. It might put paid to another Trump ballroom being foisted on the world.

So is it just Putin whom Trump considers untouchable in Russia or are there other people too? And how does this mesh with assassination campaigns that America and its allies have been involved with elsewhere?

It's astonishing that Putin can tell him something down the phone and he not only accepts it, but repeats it almost immediately to the international media. This is plain idiotic stuff (the role of the the CIA and his intelligence services would be to verify or disprove such claims, but it seems Trump doesn't even bother with them).

CNN reports the CIA carried out a drone strike inside Venezuela—the first known U.S. strike on Venezuelan soil.

Mr. No more wars.

Mr. FIFA Man of Peace 2025.

What a joke.

He does what he wants.

The US cannot be trusted anymore.

There is naked financial and political corruption.

The current president was found liable for sexual assault and is credibly accused of being a paedophile. His actions clearly demonstrate a will to protect other paedophiles and the Epstein files have not been released in accordance with the law.

It is a f**king shambles.

A dangerous idiot truly exposes how ridiculous the US Constitution is for vesting such power in one individual, without a proper and robust pushback within its framework.

It merely substituted the word president instead of king.

Unfortunately no reporter asked him if he put any credibility to the attack report in that word format.

A propagandist for Russia that is under investigation and has previously lost her work visa for the US, has just bought her visa.

Imagine being one of the mid-level people in the new-look MAGA FBI/CIA etc. or even the US military right now, say someone who has worked there for a lifetime.

Your head would be melted + you might need the help of a psychiatrist.

I'd speculate droves of them must be heading for the exits now (and we know what kind this admin. will replace them with unfortunately!)

They will have help from China.

Also there are many potential fifth columns in Euope, e.g. Sweden is full of violent armed African/Islamic gangs setting off bombs and with zero loyalty to Swedes. Putin can tap into these networks and co-opt them if he hasn't already.

Putin has several homes and often stays with his mistress and kids at her house, moves about a lot due to fear of drones.

Pee-Wee tapes leverage.
