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

Yeah, it doesn't take a genius etc…….

It's interesting that his disapproval rating seems to be highest of all with the under-30's. Much was made after the election of how younger voters, particularly males, had plumped for him. Ditto with Hispanics. Perhaps demographics may yet spell doom for the GOP, as was being generally predicted until a few years ago.

I think pharma key personnel, regardless of skin colour, will be given sufficient guarantees/protections from their employers, who will after all be conforming to Trump's demands.

Highly skilled employees have options. Many of them will not want to move to the land of child beauty pageants, surprise disappearings and school shootings.

It was really dispiriting that young people were attracted to that shìte.

Hopefully the Trump-lickers have run out of road and we can enjoy their discomfiture as the chicken return to roost in the hens' nest of their brains.

I hope that the Independent voters in America get their day in the sun now and clean out the Augean stables.

Journalist says what everyone's thinking about Trump's latest moves

" The Trump administration has made available less than 1% of the files". 

" You see his sensitivity at the Dearborn auto plant, when a worker yelled “Pedophile protector! Pedophile protector!” and he turned around and gave him the finger and mouthed the words “F— you,” but said the curse".

Trust people will keep up these shoutouts as it is obvious it cuts to the bone.

Nobody trusts the news in the US anymore…its all completely biased one way or the other.

I doubt that Trump or his cronys care about the tears of Greenland's children or any children for that matter.

Listened to Trumps rambling speech where he was all over the shop, was today’s as bad? Did Europe journalists get a chance to ask him real questions unlike their pathetic American journalists

His main supporters now are white males aged over 45 with home schooling or less, and even for all three his approval rating is less than 50%. I cannot see that getting any better for him when the realizations hits that age group that his big ugly bill is going to hammer them in particular on medical insurance cover.

The Hispanics seemed to believe his immigration policies were not going to affect them, but the ICE leopards turning up to eat their faces wasn`t long in changing that. The one I found particularly funny was the eejit who got himself a high profile in Florida campaigning for Hispanic votes for Trump who shortly after the election results was picked up and deported for being an illegal immigrant. A right genius if ever there was one.

European finance ministers should get together and agree on a common level of capital gains tax on shares. Keep it sufficiently low and attractive to pull money from individual investors and pension funds away from the US and back to European stocks.

Fast track the new legislation around preferrential share purchases for investors and employees and maybe persuade some companies to either locate here entirely or have a subsidiary listed here.

That would badly hurt the US whilst only being a positive for us. Then just exit treasuries as they mature.

I'm not sure how many Independents there really are at this stage, after decades of hyper-partisanship.
