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

The guy is dangerous and unhinged at this point. Thinks all he has to do is drop even more missiles on Iran and the problem will go away.

Based on the brain power of the current administration (regime) the below quote is very relevant.

"You would never know America had a schooling system if it wasn't for all the shootings"

Four more American soldiers killed.

Higher price oil and more dead Americans. Super work Donald,what a guy.

🙄

A lot of people are still blind to the fact that all previous alliances are meaningless to the orange buffoon. He could molest the grandkids of his core vote in their backyards and they'd still swear it was Obama.

By assassinating a national head of state without being under direct threat from them he has demonstrated that every countries leadership is in his sights if they personally annoy him.

Micheal Martin might receive a oval office tirade about how Ireland needs regime change because of objections to his Doonbeg ballroom.

The USA under Trump is a hostile entity to all. Even Israel may lose its coveted pet position if Trump concludes that it's a total waste of remaining US military would be better spent on his American Shield notion.

All expense paid first class trip to the US and have to listen to your idiot boss rant and rave for an hour? Absolutely.

I have to travel 30 mins on the m50 each way to listen to mine talk $hite for more than that three times a week.

The Iranians have a message for the Americans...

I'd be surprised if he lasts long tbh.

All the people criticising Iran's reaction remind me of that Tom Barry quote.

They said I was ruthless, daring, savage, blood thirsty, even heartless. The clergy called me and my comrades murderers; but the British were met with their own weapons. They had gone in the mire to destroy us and our nation and down after them we had to go.

It's a proper origin story for the new Ayatollah.

It really is the most stupid and unnecessary action taken by an incompetent and corrupt idiot which, this time, has finally f**cked not only some of the country, but, the whole f**king country.

I mean the other option is a living, breathing paedophile who is the leader of the not-so-Free World.

Of I know the cult will continue, but this family will get wiped out, that's all I'm saying.

I don't think so, I think he means that they have a bit of a cheek calling someone else a pedophile.

It seems the US economy was already much weaker than previously thought, even before this crisis began. This is on top on last week's figures showing virtually no jo creation during 2025:-

Oil price shock likely to ‘push the UK economy into recession’; US growth revised down – business live

US economic growth revised down

Newsflash: The US economy only grew half as fast as initially estimated in the last quarter of 2025.

US GDP rose at an annual rate of 0.7% in October-December 2025, new data from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis shows. That’s the equivalent of less than 0.2% growth in the quarter.

The BEA had initially estimated annualised growth of 1.4% in Q4 2025, which was already a slodown after 4.4% growth in Q3.

Today, the Bureau says it has revised down its estimate of US exports, consumer spending, government spending, and investment in the quarter.

Although this data is somewhat historic, it shows the American economy had less momentum than we thought as it enters the energy shock caused by the Iran war.

You can imagine the scandalised GOP reaction if Obama or Biden had delivered such figures, rather than Trump the miracle-working 'businessman'.
