The Donald Trump thread

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Anyone make this connection before? I’ve thought it for ages.

I think the book written by Trump's niece, Mary L Trump a qualified psychologist, is a more meaningful source regarding his behaviour and mindset.
"Too Much is Never Enough" is a very insightful perspective by someone who knew him and his mentor of a father at first hand.

So you’re saying they’re just making it up about those January 6 insurrectionists being found guilty of other charges since their pardons then?

How did you come up with that conclusion?

I don’t often listen to The Rest Is Politics - the Alistair Campbell and Rory Stewart podcast - but one this week was discussing whether Trump is the most corrupt President ever.

The answer is a deafening YES.

But there was a pretty convincing argument made that he is also the most corrupt world leader since the end of the Second World War. Considering the competition I thought that would be a harder case to make - but it seems not.

But he’s doing the whole alien disclosure, so it’s all good

There has been an alien living on his head in plain sight for decades.

There’s a poster on here who parrots “no collusion with Russia” (which is an at best arguable contention) every time two people in particular on here post anything on virtually any subject. It’s as if the fact that they may have been wrong about that subject makes everything else they say about anything else automatically wrong. Coming from someone who slavishly fought Trump’s corner all through his first term, and in quite a few years either side of it as well, the failure to see the irony in what he is doing is hilarious. First time around, an accusation like you refer to as to the degree of Trump”s corruption would have had him occupying pages on here in his defence of his poster boy, but, second time around, we hear barely a dickey bird from him apart from attempts at humour or the occasional contention that he has always been “on the fence” about the conman.

This must hurt King Don more than paying taxes or being in hundreds of photos with Epstein!

A crew of workers spent the night removing Donald Trump’s name from the facade of the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, hours after a judge rejected an emergency appeal to block the removal of the former president’s name.

Work began in the early hours of Saturday, shortly after the performing arts venue missed a federal judge’s two-week deadline to excise the words ‘The Donald J Trump and’ from its exterior by Friday at 11.59pm.

The extra words were added last December after Trump’s hand-picked board of trustees voted unanimously to rename the venue, which was designated as a living memorial to the 35th US president John F Kennedy by Congress in 1964 and opened in 1971.

After erecting scaffolding on Friday evening, workers in hard hats and hi-viz vests draped tarpaulin over the temporary structure at 2am to block public views of their progress but were seen, through a small opening in the scaffolding covering, to be removing the letters at about 3am.

A crowd had gathered in the front of the centre to cheer on the workers and witness the moment the words would be restored to The John F Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. People chanted “Shame!” and “Take it down.”.
