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

With Merz sitting next to him in White house presser, Trump had a direct go off Spain and UK.

Re Spain airbases and not being allowed use them he said:

"Spain have been terrible, they won't let us use their bases, we will use them anyway, no one is going to tell us what we can do"

"I'm not happy with the UK either"

"this is not Winston Churchill we're dealing with"

Apparently Barack Husein Obama flew two 757s loaded full of green cash to Iran and gave them the right to make Nuclear weapons.…they collected the cash in Maryland and Virginia...

I have to say this is news to me!

And what about that Island the UK very stupidly gave away...

I'd say Merz is desperately hoping for this clusterfuck to end.....

Haven't seen such tension between the US and UK since Hugh Grant had to stand up to Billy bob Thornton

Trump even belittled Merz too....with the quip about what they might charge Germany in tariffs......and I suppose the whole press conference....tbh I'm surprised more leaders don't try and call in sick and be obsequious in a way they can control the narrative .... talk about jeopardy sitting by that loose cannon in front of cameras...Martin might be wise to shove the bowl of shamrock up his hole and sit that one out if it happens....maybe he will be accounting for himself to Ivanka...

And the staged sycophants with the prepped off the cuff pieces about the tariff decision showing he can have any tariffs he likes etc......

and Trump ain’t no Roosevelt or Eisenhower

Maybe it’s Time for European ‘allies’ to stop visiting the White House… pending someone teaching him manners - courtesy- diplomacy

It's time he was taken down before he destroys the planet.

Cmon America, do your thing.

why do people just let him away with these insults? I wish that Starmer would come out and make scathing remarks about Trump. Leaders are so docile in their approach to Trump. They limply nod and bend over. Where is there sense of honour and self-defence. Sure, there will be economic sanctions. But I cannot imagine that the US has that level of a stranglehold over the UK. Starmer could have set himself up as the re-integration into the European economic market/anti-US type leader

I doubt very much the experience will be the same for those minorities who are in a MAGA-controlled county

Of course not.

Everyone knows Trump's an insane pedophile rapist who will probably die soon.

Ok BettyS, the voters of the usa elected a convicted sex offender.

A motivated voting majority knew that, so for any sane person the usa is in their rear view mirror now. It was fun at times, but it's over.

Trump's first was considered an aberation to be sat out, but three times roughly a third of US registered adults for chaos.

Any visits to the white house now is damage control.

Anyway Sanchez in Spain will even more popular now, and Vox more marginalized for using the Trump bingo card.

the US people were being crushed economically and believed that the “liberal elites” were ignoring them. Trump gave the downtrodden simple messages of MAGA. He showed resilience after he was shot. They lapped up his McDonalds promo. They could naively imagine him as one of them; the only difference was he was rich. He is a poor man’s idea of a rich man. Trump, I believe was a vote of despair, rather than a vote of malice by the American people. He was bad in the first-term. But none of the neutrals could have imagined how bad he was going to be. Desperate times call for desperate measures. It is usually economic oppression that drives people towards fascists. The working poor is an expanding demographic in the US and they see no escape.
