The Donald Trump thread

Re: The Donald Trump thread

The ideal scenario for me is that the vote to release gets passed by Congress (which I think it will), and then gets passed by the Senate (possibly), and then it sits on Trump's desk for his sign off. Will he or won't he?

Will be very interesting to see what's in these files. Both parties at some point have dithered about the releases and then called for them. I suspect there will be something for everyone in them, politically. And that's all they want. They all just want to make political capital out of it.

It's 5D chess innit, he's got the Dems demanding the release of the files!

Again longish queues but nothing like as bad as the first time. Both times I was 'missing' a few apps on my phone!

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear!

Loads to hide Gluey. Your boy Donald is not a fan of people demonstrating against genocide, and not a fan of people who despise him. In Don World that is grounds for serious trouble. I wanted a holiday not serious trouble, so just a bit to fear.

I probably won't be going back to the USA - at least not whilst it continues its' present journey from the latest iteration of imperial oligarchy, through outright authoritarianism, towards the end game of fascism with Donald using ICE and the National Guard as his personal stormtroopers. There have been elements of that in the past, but along with attacks on the media and judiciary it seems to be speeding up!

I have seen what I really wanted to see, so a return anytime soon is not worth the stress and the queues!

When it comes to those files it doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum the people in them are on, they all deserve to be exposed and should be punished accordingly. That's seems to be something most people agree on across the divide

Exactly.

Trump's urging his Republican buddies to vote to release the files now! What's going on? An interesting game.

He was going to lose (vote and political capital) on release of the files so he is trying to get in front of the story by leading the retreat (TACO) and pretend this is always what he wanted. Damage limitation!

If there's any more damaging revelations to come has he (or more likely his crisis team) decided it's just about feasible to deflect as "fake news"? Maybe they've decided there's no smoking gun! It'll be interesting to watch developments.

In that case you can put the BBC app back on your phone now.

It's boomerang time tomorrow isn't it?, everyone is going to get what they wanted aren't they? or maybe not. Let's see if anyone votes no to the release.
