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

If it were my son he would be extracting it from the dark deep recesses of his h*le.

I find all the democrat led channels are stooping to this clickbait headline stuff with AI images of whoever the vid is about in a fake shocked face or something. Really cringe stuff have unsubbed from a lot of it as they move towards simply being the other side of the coin but just as full of ****. Tiresome stuff, trying to detach from it all TBH.

To be honest, thats probably the least weird thing that guy has done.

I think people are underestimating the damage that has been caused. It won't be evident for a year or two. But we just witnessed the death of the Petrodollar. That was built on providing security for the Gulf states and their oil and Trump just proved that they can't. Those countries have already started dealing with the likes of Ukraine to advise and supply security. China have already made statements about increasing co-operation with the GCC, which is code for paying in Yuan. Europe is in talks about providing protection for fuel on its way from the ME.

Brazil and China are now trading with one another outside the dollar. Europe will follow. Canada is mid pivot. Australia too. Europe is accelerating preparations for NATO without America.

As much as any Admin might want to roll back the damage, the horse has bolted. The world will no longer dance to Americas tune. All these military bases will become less interesting. The T bonds less desirable, the free money that America lived and thrived on will be gone. Other stock markets will start getting a more equal share.

Trump bankrupt every business he ever touched. And hes just done the same to America

He'll be dead before he can enjoy it..

His name will be taken off the Kennedy centre and the dollar and ballroom..

I never really understand guys Trump's age chasing the next few miilion. Surely in terms of lifestyle he's already got everything material he could ever want…

Trump's death wouldn't do that much to rid the US of the pandora's box he's opened. He'll still very much exist as a symbol and rallying point, regardless of whether he's living or dead.

Best case scenario I can see at this point is that the US continues to lurch back and forth between MAGA and staid centrism. The centrists may take Trump's name down, but MAGA will stick it back on.

It feels like there's something uniquely cursed about the fact that it took an American Pope to come out with this stuff.

I don't know whether that's child abuse or good parenting.

😄

That's why the ideal outcome would be public humiliation and his utter abject failure highlighted in a way that's undeniable along with the extensive damage he has been responsible for made public rather than forgotten about and moved on from

I Listened to the mind blowing bullology and hectoring tones from Mr Hegseth and Co this lunchtime with rising anger. Who the hell are these stern male voices ordering shipping on the Strait to do what it’s told …or else.

Trump has said the US doesn’t need oil. It has all it needs. Go home then military US. Butt out of the oil fields of the rest of the world.

Trump has said the US doesn’t need Europe. Go home military US from Europe so. The bases have just become targets, making innocent Europeans targets. .

Go home military US from the Middle East. It has enough hotels without you. You’ve lost the petrodollar bonus all by yourself and you can’t boss it back.

Trump and the US is currently enabling the murderous Israeli regime and that enabling needs to stop.

Go home military US from Gaza - it’s not yours to develop but for sure the cost of repairing will be down to You

We’ve suffered years and years of watching the daily bombing of people , their lives, their homes and their facilities destroyed in Ukraine and in the Middle east - all facilitated by the US.

Enough is enough.

The self appointed world policeman and arms supplier has gone feral and needs to be fired.

I'm interested in the psychology of the current US government in that their pentagon actually saw fit to make a cryptic threat to the Vatican as if the Vatican even matters to what they do. Leo's hardly the first pope to speak out against US foreign policy and while previous US administrations might have disagreed with Papal opinions, that's about it. They'd just shrug it off and get on with things.
