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

Looks like Rubio amd the State Dept may have thrown RFK under the bus where Ebola and vaccines may be concerned when he was interviewed by Ms Shaheen in congress.

Rubio tosses RFK Jr under the bus on vaccines: "The State Dept made the decision that we are going to reengage ... we have certainly allowed Sec. Kennedy to play a leading role, but right now we're at a stage where we are going to reengage."

Trump's superpower is that he can sell anything

He only has the ability to sell things to stupid people, hypocrites and wankers. That's not a superpower.

Fooling people who have a room temperature IQ or that are consumed with hate for people they don't even know is relatively easy. They let you know what they want and you just keep promising it to them while telling them that they're great.

Anyone with even a lick of sense will see through people like Trump in a heartbeat.

Most people cannot do this. Most people cannot lie so brazenly.

Most people aren't sociopaths.

it’s not a joke, he is in negotiations.

Well we've missed Tuesday this week, so I suppose we'll have to wait 6 days for the next TACO.

In fairness, the Brits aren't nearly that bad. Farage's support has a ceiling of about 30%. It's just that corporate media, including the BBC, relentlessly promote him.

I'd add the Tories' 15% (or whatever it is) to that, frankly. Aside from Badenoch's belated criticism of Farage for whipping up racial hatred, her and Chris Philp's performance on the Novak case has been almost as bad, if not as directly incendiary. Plus their endless English nationalist shtick while in power during the Brexit years has led the UK directly into its current morass.

The difficulty is their voting system - 30% in the UK could mean an absolute landslide because 30% for Reform versus 29% Labour + 29% Green + 12% Lib Dem (as an example) in every constituency means Reform get every seat.

Which is absolute rubbish.

Trump always has to have an enemy or something to be angry about. Biden or Obama or Clinton. Immigrants, Iran, the EU, Canadians, Venezuelans, Cubans, Somalians, Mexicans. Gazans, Panamanians. Dems, Nato, RINO's, Ukraine, Greenland, Climate Change "Activists", "Fake News" Reporters, CNN, Late show hosts, Pope Leo, the UK, Tariff opponents, "activist judges", Africans, enviromentalists, Jan 6 opponents, Nobel prize jury, the "stolen election" deniers, captured soldiers, ICE protestors, gun control proponents, pro choice people. Mark Kelly, Schiff, Pelosi, Schumer, Mike Pence, Liz Cheney, Elizabeth Warren, Mitt Romney Gavin Newsom.

Trump's "genius" is to make his supporters angry about these so that they forget their own struggles

The paedo protector in chief is thinking that maybe, there should be an arena forever more in front of the White House

pure distraction
