    I don't think when you look at it Trump has done that great. But people were pissed with Biden and Trump offered an optimistic vision for many.

    Have to see how he does won't we!
    You arguing about things I’ve not made any comment on in this part of the thread. All I’ve asked is for examples of things TRump’s “base” of working class, underprivileged voters have benefited from during his presidency. Everyone of the days during the past week, I’ve woken up to hear stories about what Trump has said and done as the first story on the news Alexa reads to me - it’s brought back memories of 2017 to 2021 when you’d invariably wake up hearing about what Trump had written on Twitter overnight, there was plenty of sound and fury through those the four years of his first term, but what was actually achieved? Plenty of “trickle down” tax cuts for the richest, but not much else as I recall.

    This story lists 16 things Trump did last week, none of which benefit his so called base I’d say.

    You’ve had a few days to think about it now, so maybe you can name some of the policies Trump has put in place to benefit what’s seen as his core vote as opposed to billionaires, mainly from Silicon Valley?

    Have you seen the property he has bought on a government salary? The gentleman doth protest too much, methinks, and he is probably cacking his pants

    Gluey and his mates don’t seem bothered about that. They’ve spent years telling us about one type of corrupt elite that is really running things, but it seems they’re not too bothered about corrupt elites from Silicon Valley unless it’s Bill Gates.

    I'm still on the fence, I haven't decided one way or the other.

    This is the fence that didn’t appear to exist when it came to Trump’s first term and the likes of Gates and Soros is it?

    "the matrix is being revealed"

    I get the impression that some of the trump fans on here are going to be very disappointed how little has actually changed come the end of this presidential term

    I was saying Russia collusion was a hoax for 7 years before anybody would believe me. Sometimes you've just got to keep at it

    The brainwashed ones certainly don't

    Re: The Donald Trump thread

    This conversation seems to suggest that after a month in power, some people still thinks Trump is the man for the job, which I find incredulous.

    I think its the brainwashed ones that do.

    Granted it was decided on balance there was insufficient evidence (although a lot of evidence) to follow through on the technical/legal charge of collusion.

    But a mass of evidence (and a clutch of successful prosecutions) showed the extent to Trump-Putin collaboration.

    Take the common usage (not the narrow legal definition of collusion) and there is clear and repeated co-operation, sharing of information and strategies, shared interests, co-ordination of attacks on the back of data theft, and use of supposed third party hacking outfits like the St Petersburg troll farms owned and directed by Putin allies to promote a Trump victory.

    At least you claim to be off the fence on this one. Your 7 year campaign to spray perfume on Trump may be in error and a perversion of the truth - but no splinters for you, so maybe some good came of it?

    DOGE is cleaning up millions of dollars in fraudulent expenditure, 99.9 % of the fraud has been by the Radical left, there will be Republicans exposed as well. CCMB?, it's ok because the Trump administration must have done it as well. TDS is alive and kicking Yuge on CCMB. FWIW, Farage is being lined up as our next PM and it'll not be down to votes counted in the polling stations, it's already decided by those who pull the levers of power, when will we see Farage proposing the UK equivalent of DOGE?. The illusion of choice continues with the intended division of society to be continued.

    STARMER OUT !!!!!!
