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

Guarantee you the farmers he ruined with tariffs and his support to the Argentinian beef producers will still vote for him again and just blame Biden.

His voters think he is God, they will never change their mindset.

I was being flippant, but the core point stands. At no point will Trump voters even consider their support. The easy out is that, despite the rising fuel prices and the effect it will have on the cost of living, the simple argument is that it was worse under Biden, and therefore, Trump is right.

The clearest example is the Iran War. Trump promised, and painted Harris as a warmonger, that he wouldn't enter into any more wars. The US hasn't been attacked, there was no imminent threat, yet Trump launched a war, and his supporters have no issue with that. They might be unhappy about it, but Harris would be way worse and Men in women's sports etc.

This is the correct answer. They'll grumble about fuel costs and inflation but they'll never seriously ask questions. It's been over 10 years. We know what these people are.

President and vice president musk arrive in China many tech bros in toe lots of insider trading on the way trump family about to coin in

Or claim (with no evidence of course) that it is a deep state Dumbocrat conspiracy started by Obama to covertly arm Iran with nukes and Trump is at war with them because of that and the cost of fuel and food is acceptable because only he can Save America. Question this and, sure, aren't you just part of the conspiracy/must be a Dumbocrat etc. No convincing such people.

I didn't see that. The problem is that Ireland is almost uniquely dependent on FDI. It's one thing to advocate pivoting away from the US but quite another to find a replacement for such a sizeable component of the economy.

The problem with that idea is that building new markets in Europe is going to be quite difficult. Historically, it's always been easier in some respects to export to the Anglosphere given the shared language and emigrant/expat networks.

It's an impossibility in the short or medium term and anyone suggesting that we should actively discourage continued US investment in the country needs their heads examined.

There will always be the hardcore 25% or so (coincidentally this number usually correlates with those who believe that the earth is 10,000 years old or that the rapture will happen in their lifetime), the rest will reflect internally deeply and practice the personal responsibility that is one of their core beliefs. Will they f***, it will be like Bush all over again after they went balls deep for the Iraq war.

"Quiet piggy!" comes to mind there. Just so many…erm pig ignorant tantrums from him they become noise at this point and no longer registers really.
