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

How is that virtue signalling?!?!

possibly as the likes of Farage align with Israel too. The current EU leadership position on Israel being allowed to kill children has discredited the whole organization. When compared to its position on Ukraine and now no condemnation of events in Caracas the EU is close to being irrelevant

Another very normal rant from a stable person who's definitely not demented.

There really is little or no merit in either listening to or reading what he says when it comes to numbers*.

He was a real estate salesman and bullshitting with figures and exagerating is all they know. He seems to have carried that over into his current job.

Any figure he quotes should be assumed to be utter BS until proven otherwise.

*or anything else, but specifically numbers.

**** sake, it’s Nobel…NOBEL!!!!!!!

Give him the Noble Peace Prize, he deserves that at least…

Reading that, it’s clear as ever, America is being run by a special needs moron.

It'll be interesting in the extreme if Trump & Co, incl his new friends in Venezuela's Govt, cut off oil being exported from Venezuela in tankers for countries vying with the U.S for other earth sourced products. China is reportedly one of the countries where the oil exports were headed from Trump's hemisphere.

EDIT: Ms Leavitt was just on saying the U.S will try to buy Greenland to deny it to China and Russia as it's not in their hemisphere.

Going geo-politics for a moment, Russia could respond in showing annoyance to the U.S and U.K cooperation seizure of the Russian flagged tanker by repeating its denial of peace for Ukraine [no NATO troops] in the proposed U.K et al peace force there. Trump has his hands full with Venezuela at the moment while talking [rumouring] of another land-grab in "his" hemisphere. Both of the other powers might wag the dog by moving naval forces around in the Arctic.

Politicians can't win can they, criticised for saying something, criticised for saying nothing.

There's very little the Irish state can do on any global matter if force is deployed in fairness.

Proof the U.S economy is at risk…. don't mention the one person who Oz's dietary ideas might help.

During a White House press briefing yesterday, Mehmet Oz stated that Americans should put off retirement in order to boost the GDP. Oz stated, "Just work one year longer."

Oz was speaking at a Trump administration press conference addressing new dietary guidelines.

According to PBS, the new guidelines suggest “more whole foods and protein, fewer highly processed foods and less added sugar,” and note “that Americans should choose whole-food sources of saturated fat — such as meat, whole-fat dairy or avocados — while continuing to limit saturated fat consumption to no more than 10% of daily calories. The guidance says ‘other options can include butter or beef tallow,’ despite previous recommendations to avoid those fats.”

Oz told reporters, “If we’re able to get the average American, who today retires on average, at age 61, get them just to work one year longer because they feel so vital, so strong, so bullish about their future — because they’re feeding their bodies nutrients that are essential to their high functioning productivity — we will increase the overall GDP of our nation by trillions of dollars.”

“So we will reduce health care expenses at the same time we jazz up the U.S. economy with trillions of dollars created by the productivity of American workers,” he added.

If imagine there will economic sanctions, much like what happened to Russia.

What even is the public vibe in America on this? We only hear from his base and petrified followers, but had there been any input from the public?

ICE just murdered a woman in her car. The video is on blue sky (won’t let me post) , she was driving away and an ICE agent ran up to the window and shot her three times in the face. The White House said the dead woman had commited an act of domestic terrorism. This murder might spark a reaction, it is quite a chilling video.

I just watched it on Reddit, bloody hell
