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

Throughout the election we did hear from some but they were quickly shot down by the MAGA fanatics or simply ignored - MAGA is a big f-off machine - you would have needed a serious amount of republicans to stop it

This is your fourth post on the matter and you can't provide any kind of detail about this hypothetical doomsday scenario of yours whatsoever.

I only have your word for it that he has no backbone. I don't see why you keep pushing this crap here.

Honestly they should have been laying the groundwork for their preferred candidate for the last year. I have an odd feeling that they want Newsom but I think he's very much so the wrong direction for the party. They really need to push the boundaries to somebody who will get people out and voting.

But realistically, I think the US is gonna see a vastly diminished role in the decades to come. They've got multiple things that they could have led on like moving away from oil and pushing for greener technologies etc. Instead the likes of China has pretty much outpaced them and they're gonna be left behind. Plus global trust in them is pretty much gone.

Another thing you can put to Brexit. On your own lads.

Yeah I suppose his weakness is my problem, so can agree on that. I tend to reserve the term of abuse "clown" for politicians like Trump (!) over ilk of Martin.

Trump is awful and doing some terrible things (what much of discussion here is about), but a lot of it, like conquering Greenland, is just so idiotic as well and almost seems unreal. It really is Idiocracy come to life, end of the world (as we knew it) for dummies!

They’re pushing it more . Give it a week or two and the cult will all be on message.

US takeover of Greenland is 'in Nato's interest' - former US Army general

The US can do more for Greenlanders' security and prosperity than Denmark can, retired army general Jack Keane tells Fox News.

He also says a potential US acquisition of Greenland is "in Nato's interest", as the US "can do more" for regional security than Denmark can.

Keane, who served as vice chief of staff for the US Army from 1999 to 2003, says a plan needs to be formed to the benefit of all involved.

"We can help the Greenlanders prosper," he says.

The problem is that media is increasingly being held in the hands of those with a conservative agenda. More worryingly, large swathes of individuals get their news from social-media. The algorithms are pushing the conservative narrative. The tech tycoons are in bed with Trump, as demonstrated by their his attendance at his inauguration. It is harder for Democrats to get their message out there. Newsom and AOC have had some great quips which are hard to find. He who controls the media, controls the people

Rather than blaming the Democrats, I am more interested in why we are not hearing their voices. We are drowning in conservative voices

source?

Also he dropped a bit of a bombshell about forced sterilization on certain groups. Never heard that one before, is that true ?

EDIT - Looks like it is true. Shocking that, horrendous.

We can help you by invading you.

Yes, it’s true but is Mr. Bessent really an authentic campaigner for the rights of indigenous people, do you think? If he chose to list all the crimes committed against Native Americans by his own country over the years we’d be in for quite the session.
