Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Adam Jensen]

Trump wants kids shot, kids in cages, and he wants this PR stunt to actually do something. If nothing happens more of his base will hate it, but if one gun shot goes off they will scream for joy.

Then of course we'll have Dacien, Knadra, and others come and go "both sides" and how this wasn't violent at all.

Because in these people's minds, seeking asylum is a capital crime. Throwing rocks, capital crime.

Given that it's clearly using the Game of Thrones font, and clearly is mimicking the "Winter is coming" tagline, is this not copyright infringement? I know there's some protections with political messaging, but artists sue campaigns all the time for using their music without permission, so I assume this kind of stuff is not protected either.

Edit: He's also cast himself as the Night King, the zombie overlord who seeks to destroy civilization, with the way he's set this up. Since the winter that's coming is largely due to the Night King, and here, sanctions are due to Trump.

Yeah, but Steve Bannon is the Night King.

Trump is Joffrey.

Let's not pretend like he understands the reference.

He saw a picture of himself, and couldn't help but promote his stupid face.

Sanctions*

Except for those granted waivers.

Right, as cited earlier, we don't know who's getting waivers. And I will say "It's Russia" until proven wrong.

[Wyrt]

Who are we supposed to be sanctioning?

[DarkTZeratul]

Who are we supposed to be sanctioning?

Everyone until they do what we want because we're the best so everyone should do what they say.

[solinari6]

I thought Trump said he was going to sanction mexico and all the countries the caravan is coming from.

[Adam Jensen]

Who are we supposed to be sanctioning?

We should be sanctioning Russia and Saudi Arabia.

But I bet it's something stupid like Honduras for "teh karavan"

(And how come the only auto correct for "Hondoras" was "Hondas"? Come on!)

Oh, actually, it's a different sort of stupid: https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/02/polit...ons/index.html

Iran.

Nothing says "diplomacy" like "hey, that deal we made with you is invalid if the next president hates it!" It's bullshit. Iran has complied with the deal, they have violated nothing. But because Trump & Co are idiots (and Bolton's mustache wants to make war) we're going to sanction them anyways.

To be fair, Trump and his supporters probably don't know the difference between Honda and Honduras.

I'd bet half of them would scratch their head and ask why we're sanctioning someones bath house, but roll with it anyways because fuck the libs.

“I told Trump that the rally looked vanilla on television. Trump responded, ‘That’s because black people are too stupid to vote for me.’”

after Nelson Mandela’s death. “[Trump] said to me, ‘Name one country run by a black person that’s not a shithole,’ and then he added, ‘Name one city,’”

“We were going from the airport to the hotel, and we drove through what looked like a rougher neighborhood. Trump made a comment to me, saying that only the blacks could live like this.”

“Trump was explaining his back-and-forth about not picking Jackson,” an African-American investment manager who had graduated from Harvard Business School. “He said, ‘There’s no way I can let this black f-g win.’”

Trump as reported by Michael Cohen.

Actually, I'm modestly confident (0.05 < P < 0.10) that we're going to sanction people who deal with Iran.

And also Iran.

Yeah it's coming out of Michael Cohen's mouth so I am not confident of the source.

But I don't doubt it.

[Zaydin]

Trump is racist, so it's definitely plausible.

Why not trust Cohen. He has been truthful and backed up his claims with receipts.

In that video (from FOX news) Trump practically tells the world he wants to detain immigrants in what equates to concentration camps for an unlimited time, not to let them out, not to judge them. Just stick them there.

No real surprise there, Trump has said he wants to hold the kids indefinitely, and that was months ago. Trump is the white trash Michael Jackson.

You know, in the beginning I was on the fence about Trump's racism. Considering him of a different age and being completely out of touch, and while he definitely didn't like them I was sure it wasn't racism,b ut something more. It's most certainly racism at this point.

Michael Jackson is the white trash Michael Jackson... the dude bought a monkey... who buys a monkey?

[Dontrike]

Difference being Jackson actually created great things before going nuts, Trump hasn't and that's where the white trash version comes from.

If Jackson just wanted kids to stay for the night and Trump wants to keep kids forever while abusing them, then that makes him the white trash version.

[Dontrike]

Yeah, your analogy doesn't really stand up in the slightest. Nice try though!

I don't care, point was to insult Trump, not make a good analogy. Sorry, I didn't give you A material though, poor you.

[Felya]

It can... I think he was the most famous incel.

[Dontrike]

That would describe Trump pretty well.
