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

The mid terms in America are so important this year. Anything less than a comprehensive democratic victory will further empower Trump and his administration and quite frankly be a sign that America is a lost cause. I'm still hopeful there are enough decent Americans willing to stand up against this but if they don't come out in Nov in large numbers it will be extremely dangerous for the world.

Trump's polls are sinking. 75% of Americans don't agree with taking over Greenland. Pretty sure it would be tough to get 75% of Americans to agree on anything at the moment. The GOP know they will get a hammering in the mid-terms. I wonder if there are any discussions internally about dumping trump and taking their chances with President Vance. 6 months ago I would have said that is unlikely but he us truely off the rails now.

The Republicans are going to try and nuke the mid-terms by creating so much chaos with the likes of ice in blue states that Trump will use the insurrection act and say the mid-terms cannot be held

In lighter Melania news, apparently absolutely nobody is going to that movie. 😂 Estimated box office is 1-2 million dollars, wasn't even getting turnouts in red states.

The GOP Congress members are too afraid of Trump to consider anything like that, unfortunately. Anyone with even a shred of spine in that party should realise that the 25th Amendment is well overdue, but it'll never happen because they're too keen on keeping their heads down and kissing the ring. They are a truly shameful bunch.

What they should really do, if they are so afraid of Trump, is resign in droves to then create a Democratic majority and allow impeachment proceedings (again) to go through. Obviously they won't do that either but they do have options.

This is what’s most frustrating about America. The democrats and media should non stop mock him over this, make him out to be the biggest spoilt snowflake baby to ever walk relentlessly non stop. That’s how you break that you idiot. They still haven’t figured this out after 50 years. They’re almost more thick than him for that.

Apparently many Republicans have been telling their staff in private that Trump is deranged and not fit for office, but in public state their allegiance to him. They are cowards of the worst order.

Dementia Don is the fascist leader of the US MAGA cult, who equally fear and worship him into exalted power, power he uses for unchecked criminality.

Madness to think that the US could descent that quickly into total madness. He's managed to completely turn it into a rogue basket case of a sh!thole in less than a year. China must be laughing their holes off, the US arguably destroyed for the next 20 years internationally, and China didn't have to spend a penny to do it.

It's been a total disaster for the US.

What's incredible is that there's people that still rabidly support this. And that's why we need to uncouple from the US as quick as we can, because Trump is only the start of it. There's way too much support there for this to be a fleeting thing, this has massive support in the US. Despite what the polls say on individual issues, half of the country is behind him and his carry on, and they have no intention of letting go the power, and will retain it by whatever means are necessary.

This last year is a glimpse into the future of dealing with America, because it's no longer America anymore, it's MAGAstan. The lunatics are in control of the bus, they see the cliff and have started putting the foot on the accelerator because they're convinced the bus will fly. Jumping off the bus will hurt, but it's better than going over the cliff with lunatics.

Time for Europe to push them aside. Take the pain now. That'll mean a fair bit of pain, but solid planning for the absolute worst, and we'll get through it.

That's been the case for years though, even through the first administration. They literally lack a single bit of courage. Anyone that actually showed any courage was primaried (Kinzinger, Cheney as examples) so clearly they value their jobs more than they value the well-being of the country and the world. Despicable people.

January 6th rioter Jake Lang, who was pardoned by Trump, was chased away when he started an pro-ICE protest in Minneapolis.

It seems to me that part of the reason America is such a powerful world power in economic and military terms is because Europe served as a large wealthy market place.

Most American presidents saw that as a good thing and could see that Europe as a strong partner in trade was beneficial.

I know a trade war will be devastating for Ireland but our future has to be with Europe. Even wit a new administration America cannot be trusted in the same way.

I know this will be unpopular but in this new reality neutrality may not be an option going forward.

It's unremarkable that, apart from the lack of a mask, he's dressed in a faux manner, similar to the ICE street agents.

Hard to believe that in the past 10 or so years, Trump and his backers have spent every waking minute being absolute cu&ts!!!!! Every waking minute deliberately creating division and hostility and aggro.

Problem is, they'll answer a poll but they won't bother their hole to vote. So it'll still be a close run thing come election and then you add in the stupid electoral college and gerrymandering, and its still a toss up. And thats before you get to vote rigging or suppression.
