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

Underground betting scandal sweeps the Pentagon. Officials are taking bets on Hegseth having to resign.

Pete Hegseth has weathered a string of scandals in his first year, including a controversial air strike in the Caribbean and the Signal-gate national security leak. But high-ranking Pentagon staff are betting the Secretary of War won't last much longer, running clandestine 'betting pools' on the date of his removal as they describe the atmosphere under his command as a precarious game of survival. Money is changing hands between officers, with varying odds offered on whether Hegseth hits the one-year and 18-month mark, three Army staff told the Daily Mail. That would place his departure - or ouster - around July 2026.

The sweepstakes are ongoing in various offices, described as fantasy football-style games that act as a 'coping mechanism' for personnel who say Hegseth runs the Pentagon like the unruly Army captain he once was rather than a distinguished Cabinet secretary. 'There are a lot of people in each group - maybe 20 or 30. They are all mostly done on text or Signal because nobody wants to get caught doing that on an official platform,' the source explained. Insiders say Hegseth's downfall could come as a result of misplaced priorities, like an obsessive focus on uniforms and facial hair over a pressing national security threat or military mishap, according to one army source.

Would Native Americans have the right to kidnap Trump as he was elected illegally and demand the land returned that was stolen from them?

I always think the North Koreans had the best insult for him. Dotard.

Donald Trump has warned Venezuela's vice president and acting president Delcy Rodriguez against defying the US.

"If she doesn't do what's right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro," the US president told The Atlantic in a phone interview this morning according to US time.

Trump added that Venezuela may not be the last country where the US could intervene.

"We do need Greenland, absolutely," he said, noting the island, which belongs to Denmark, was "surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships." 

"The MDC has drawn more scrutiny since 2021, when the Bureau of Prisons closed its other New York City jail — the Metropolitan Correctional Center — after Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide there highlighted its lax security, crumbling infrastructure and dangerous, squalid conditions".

Once Maduro realises where he is being held, maybe realise Trump had form around this joint, he will fold over and do whatever to get out.

The sooner the better for everyone if he's put out of commission. Permanently.

He was the head of the country. He was persecuted very unfairly

It would depend on how badly the minions have damaged the electoral machine. At the moment, its Miller and those Heritage Foundation fcuks pulling the levers. That won't change if Vance takes charge. Hes slyer and more focused. Things could get worse.

King Brian and little people have been at a loose end since Darby O'Gil was filmed maybe with some action man gear from Smiths toys and a few drones we'd have a formidable force.

As the saying goes, the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. As bad as DJT is, God knows what might come next. We could end up looking at the Trump era wistfully and wishing we could go back to it.

While this should not be taken as any sort of support from Trump, I find it hard to believe any highly experienced medical professional would make as definitive a claim as that based on watching a video of someone. I think you're either overselling what he said or he's massively overstating the diagnostic value of watching a video of someone and given his experience, he should know much better.
