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

To me, MAGA is a lot more similar to Cromwell, Trevalyan and the illustrators of Victoria era Punch Magazine.

His truth social post on this matter

Machado has some support in Congress including from Rep. Elvira Luna Salazar (Florida).

Still going to say you aren’t a Trump fan?

He was given the medal, he was not awarded the prize. But you already knew that.

Amazing that people care so much? Trump is obsessed with it, and he will never be awarded one, and rightfully so.

This is one of the most pitiful things I have ever seen in my entire life..I truly, truly mean that.

Always looking for adulation and validation.

President of the United States twice, and still it's not enough. Why? Because he despises the general public. He sees them as suckers, the stuff that accumulates on the bottom of his shoe as he steps on them again and again. How can he respect them when they came back for more?

Constantly craving the next "accomplishment", award or milestone. Desperate for praise but will ultimately turn on those that give it, because he knows it isn't genuine.

Despite the momentarily happiness moments like these provide, just like the FIFA award, deep down he knows it's not what he wanted, what he needed - recognition from people he respected.

And so, he will move on to getting "the next thing" in a vain effort to fill that bottomless void.

Despite his position of power, his privilege, his riches, his surroundings, he must be one of the most miserable people on the f**king planet.

I suppose that's our consolation prize.

It's Idiocracy, manifest.

Both of them are pathetic, yet we already knew that about Trump. Machado is so desperate for power, she's losing any sense of dignity and demeaning her position and achievement. Honestly, I hope it blows up in her face and he sticks with Rodriguez. I doubt anyone expects different from someone who supported a dictator for so long and now has the advantage. Machado will have a lot to do to catch up.

He only wants the best deal for him, look at the money already being extracted from Venezuela. It was never about Maduro or peace and he doesn't give a **** whether its the opposition or the dictatorship that gives it to him; its all about the Art of the Deal and its infuriating that people fall for it and the biggest losers here will be the Venezuelans who've already suffered so much.

He is already quite a distance down that road

What a saddo giving that insufferable dotard the Nobel peace prize. She was pro the slaughter in Gaza so not sure how she got it to be begin with. It’s farcical at this stage, like when they gave it to Obama just because he was the first non fully white US president as US bombs ran down on villages. Joke through and through.

It's extremely sad on her part, she's doing her best to get in his good graces because she wants his backing to become the next leader, when in reality he's already shown he doesn't care about her in the slightest. When will these people learn that Trump doesn't care about others ?

He's called the current leader of Venezuela a terrific person.

'Cheers for the medal Machado, now **** off' :D
