Re: The Donald Trump thread

Can anyone remember the time when people tried to claim that the Trump-Putin love-in was nothing but a hoax!

All MAGA speak and failure of critical faculties, true - but that time really happened. Incredible!

There wasn’t any collusion though.

I’m so disheartened and disgusted by the situation.

Judging by Donnie's tiny hands he couldn't satisfy a brute like Putin

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Just some random thoughts. It's a bit late and I'm tired so please forgive poor grammar here and there!

Trump, Vance and Musk: what an obnoxious trio.

Tariffs: sounds great from Trump’s point of view but, if the USA is like the UK, where practically every non-food item we buy comes from China it won’t be long before the average Joe in the USA finds that his cost of living is going to go up even further. If Trump thinks that these same goods can be manufactured in the USA, then said Joe is going to be even more upset, as there is no way they can compete on cost grounds due to the higher cost of labour.

Ukraine: what a mess. Misinformation and downright lies from Trump et al. The minerals blackmail saga. Europe surely unable to fill the missing billions contributed by the USA and even with the money, unable to manufacture weapons on the scale required in such a short time. Putin presumably unable to believe his luck. He looks certain to keep the parts of the country that have been seized and will probably embolden him to have a pop elsewhere. Can’t see how a few hundred American mining engineers are the equivalent of a peace-keeping force. Presumably they wouldn’t have access to the Russian controlled part of Ukraine anyway as Putin would want to get his grubby hands on whatever minerals are in that area.

This is all surely going to backfire at some point and the whole Trump episode will end in ignominious failure. No Nobel Peace prize on the cards either!

I think I agree with all of that - except for the last sentence (unfortunately).

Re: The Donald Trump thread

He wears what he wears as a statement, and everyone knows why - it has been explained enough over 3 years.

The attack on his clothing was pathetic - and just one part of a crass set up from the Trump menagerie.

The reference to the ocean protecting the USA was a reference to something Donald Trump has said!

'He had better beg, he has a very weak hand.' - beautiful Trumpspeak. Well done!

I am no fan of Zelenskyy, but the Oval Office shit show is all on Trump. There may be some rowing back from both sides, but it turned out to be what couldbe a defining moment in the realignment of the post WW2 world: An isolationist US and expansionist Russia in an alliance - and a geopolitical and economic cold war with Europe and China.

Europeans are traumatised and racing to adjust to the new reality but Xi and Putin are laughing their heads off.

There you go, he begged it will all be sorted, it can't go on forever.

I said way before he was elected, he'll get them both together and split the territory, neither can completely win.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Few interesting videos from congress last night.

I definitely cannot think of a politician more coated in teflon than Trump. He ploughs on.
