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

Trump has just threatened 100% Tariff on Canada if they do a trade deal with China.

Next TACO on the way!

Eric was allowed to stay up late to play call of duty again.

Just bullies . Hope they eventually get their comeuppance.

“Well, that's OK, that's what you should be doing. I mean, it's a good thing for him to sign a trade deal. If you can get a deal with China, you should do that, right?”

-Trump, 7 days ago

He’s such a sensitive little itch. Only because Carney criticised him at Davos .

It could be propaganda agents or it could be good old fashioned grifters. The internet is monetised and some people will do anything for clicks (money).

Turns out tariffs are not a great idea for reviving domestic US manufacturing. Who would have thought it, apart from economically ignorant morons?

96% of tariffs are passed on into the US domestic market. There was no decrease in prices by exporters trading with the US.

The fact that Trump is relentless in pursuing people and countries that oppose him, could easily derail the Western economic\political system. Despite backing down on Greenland, he immediately picks another row and the circus begins again. It must be excruciating for Zelensky and Ukraine looking on while under relentless bombardment from Russia and the world is transfixed by one Trump induced crisis after another.

I am 99% sure this is inspired by a documentary where a penguin has decided he is going to die, and walks away from the other penguins into the distance.

If only Trump would follow suit. It's gotten recent attention due to TikTok etc. and since the White House is ran by perennially online edgelords…

So ,should it be mandatory for similar false information to be accorded rebuttal space -of value comparable to the acceptance (ie reposting/commenting) of the counterfeit claim in the first place?

(in addition to punishment where the actual author is found)

The platform should be imo liable for any expenses and the loss of any profit it may have made on the back of such clear misinformation.

Trump wasn't talked down.

He caved. Faced with pushback from European countries he folded.

And he has a habit of folding when faced with any pushback

This while his administration has a trade deal with China. It look's like Trump is set on imposing a form of trade blockade on Canada after his ego was upset by Carney's speech. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=0185b62e13fe9bb80b72cf758c8625c58f4baf59f23d8817f740a480eb929794JmltdHM9MTc2OTIxMjgwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=04f55f2f-e40c-6108-1379-4b9fe541609e&psq=Has+the+U.S+got+trade+deals+with+China&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly91c3RyLmdvdi9hYm91dC9wb2xpY3ktb2ZmaWNlcy9wcmVzcy1vZmZpY2UvcHJlc3MtcmVsZWFzZXMvMjAyNS9ub3ZlbWJlci91cy1jaGluYS10cmFkZS1hbmQtZWNvbm9taWMtZGVhbC1kcmF3cy1wcmFpc2U

Look who's back banging the Hitler was a Far Leftist drum again.
After having it painstakingly explained to him previously 🤔

It's almost as if a constant cycle of rinse and repeat bullshít is necessary to keep the zone flooded and people distracted.

The sheer effort that people expend on countering this kind of bad faith BS.
Has to be done to deliberately distract from egregious actions elsewhere as well as to try and paint opposition to Musk & Trump's actual right wing Fascist Corporatism as the "real" Nazis.

Trump is the most divisive US president in history. It was very noticeable at his two inauguration speeches he never said anything about bringing all Americans together or being a president for all.

I am not so sure. T has not ACOed e.g. Venezuela and Iran. The worldview he and people around him seem to have is utter contempt for the USs (maybe soon to be former at this rate?) European allies, and belief that our dependence on the US is so deep, they can do exactly as they please. IMO, they view countries like Denmark similar to how the Soviet Union under Stalin viewed the Warsaw pact members.

He was moaning and pouting in Davos (about the "Europeans", "Denmark" all being ingrates etc) ironically exactly like a child who was refused an ice cream dessert, so it set me wondering had someone he still thinks he has to listen to got to him.

On other matters, was wondering were Israel on his Board of Peace as had not been following it? Below article says they will join it… https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn8jek4vv8ko

Seven countries including Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt say they will join US president Donald Trump's Board of Peace, according to a joint statement.

They will join Israel, which also publicly confirmed its participation earlier.

All the world's worst war criminals and various despots etc. brought together in the name of "peace", by Trump's America! You could not make this up as it is too absurd and horrible.

It looks like ICE just murdered someone in Minneapolis, and if the video I just involuntarily saw is real, Americans need to riot. And riot hard.

That is one scary f*cking video.
