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

He didn't do any such thing. During the election campaign Trump and Republicans were highly critical and even more hawkish on backing Israel than Biden\Harris.

As has been pointed out to you:
(1) There is no ceasefire really in place. Ample evidence of this has been provided to you in direct replies - zero engagement with the evidence.
(2) Netanyahu had zero incentive to engage with any real ceasefire discussions pre election with a Trump win a possibility. It allowed braindead sloganeering like "Genocide Joe" to be trotted out, ignoring Trump's position. And with a Trump win he gets someone like Trump who he could drag into action against Iran.

All you have are vague one liner posts like "he did more" without providing any facts or engaging with the multiple posters who have pointed this out to you. Just the same discredited point on repeat completely devoid of logic or evidence.

It's not a point just made on this thread:

Senior Biden administration officials have stepped up efforts in recent days to resolve the conflicts in Lebanon and Gaza — which would bring a boost to Vice President Harris in her election bid — but Israeli analysts say Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is waiting to see who is voted into the White House.
"I don't see him rushing for a deal until the election," said political strategist Nadav Shtrauchler, who ran Netanyahu's 2019 reelection campaign. "This is something that doesn't help this administration, and maybe somehow does help Trump."

Every person is a shifting bag of vectors on the issues of the day. Even the most rabid MAGA person probably has some opinion on inflation and that goes double for the Independents and former Democratic-voters who chose Trump. Americans aren’t particularly fond of making international comparisons. The fact that the supply chain shock of Covid and the state response to it was stoking inflation in nearly every advanced country passed many of them by. In addition, there seems to be a growing dissatisfaction with the government irrespective of its political hue. Voters feel deeply insecure about their future. On Gaza the malaise runs deeper than any particular candidate, a fact voters for both parties are beginning to wake up to.

 “you can call someone a pedo admirer for commenting on the current president of the US”

Sorry, I don’t understand that comment.

Well, in fairness to Fintan O'Toole, I think he probably was.

The problem was that you have serial, congenital, liars and a people that want to believe the lies they tell who will then go and vote against their best interests. With that kind of combination, you're doomed. No amount of truth or fact will counter something like that and people need to understand that clearly.

The truth doesn't always beat the lie.

I've been banging this drum for some time now, but I'll say it again. The right wing are liars, all of them. You can even see it on here. That side of the aisle has lying built into their system, at all levels, and it is absolutely intrinsic to their political methods and demonstrable on all of the major issues both at national and international level, right up to the current situation with Iran.

On every political talking point they have lied through their teeth and you just simply cannot combat that.

On the point that "inflation" was the "issue", the idea that Trump was going to "fix" it was utterly laughable to anyone honest given the track record of the man and the party he heads. This is now being played out in real time with prices of everything (not just eggs) skyrocketing and this time it is actually the direct fault of a President. One who's launched a war he swore he'd never start and has caused the chaos he promised to keep away from.

Trump is a recognised rapist at the minimum. In terms of questions on if he's fit to lead from a competence perspective. There's been a pretty clear decline. On top of that there's been lots of questions about his health that even go back to before he was elected the second time.

The reality is Biden even with a decline didn't create anything like the chaos Trump has created. Now Trump is both behaving atrociously and is pretty clearly in decline but his supporters seem to be sidestepping it as they have throughout his political career. The fact that he is a rapist and people still fanboy over him that says a lot.

Tweet of the year:

But not 50% of the population. Those who feel that way would vote GOP every time, anyway. Needless to say the notion of Trump being 'anti-abortion' is itself a joke but it's America we're talking about.

Maybe call him by his right name first, Joe Biden.

I agree with you that 'swing voters' were influenced by that.

But also, within that exit poll - if someone didn't vote for Harris because she was a black woman, then when asked in a poll they would likely answer with something like that. It's a justification not a real reason.

I meant the 50% of the electorate who actually voted and I'm well aware that not all Trump voters are either over 50 or indeed white.

I think it’s extremely likely that Trump isn’t playing with the full deck. Everything from his body language, his over exaggerated mannerisms, his quickness to become visibly and publicly irritable with little catalyst.
