Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Machismo]

i mean, doesn't it bother any of you through word of mouth trump will go down in history as probably the most controversial (and in a bad way) figure in US leader history, ecplising richard nixon? Normally leaders like to step out of office and leave behind an admirable legacy.

Well, that's what happens when one panders to white supremacists.

Why are you so upset that people don't take kindly to racists like Trump?

[Benggaul]

Y'all wanna stop feeding it?

[Fugus]

2021, days in, when they lose their majority, the ability of filibuster and cloture, and can't do anything to stop it.

Oh, you know if they lose all 3 houses, they are going to try and change the rules to make sure the minority can block as much as possible during the lame duck. Hopefully they can just ignore those changes and throw them out when they come in.

trump's run might very well end soon, so I feel like asking what you guys feel he did better than Obama, his predecessor

He got the Republican party to expose who they really are and just how devoid of ethics and morals they have been this entire time. While they did it under Obama, Obama never called them on it and they lied and since things were going overall smooth his voters didn't really here anything to shake the lies.

With Trump, he shined a spotlight onto their actions and actually emboldened them to go further and actually got them to throw all the principles they claimed to have on the wayside to cling to him.

Trump revealed the rot and the racism in the Republican party far more than any black president for them to revolt against could do.

I don't buy into the whole "Melania body double" thing but I do have to say this Tweet in particular made me laugh. Plus, you know, I think we should get the information out there and let the people decide.

Neither do I, but no way that's Melania, they have barely smiled at each other in the last four years no way that suddenly she's putting on that kind of act out of nowhere. Either they gave her 50 million to do it or it's a different person.

Dude don't spread conspiracy theories like that, it's pretty obvious he's a zombie and is just decomposing. /s

Don't talk about zombies right now, I just watched "Zombie Strippers" and I'm numb from how boring and stupid it was.

Personally I don't really give a damn if it is or isn't since it doesn't make a difference either way, but if it's not a fake I'd rather not give Trumpster dipshits any further ammunition to say "HA HA FAKE NEWS!" ad nauseum.

EDIT: I'd also like to put forward that due to her COVID-19 infection she was probably also put on some drugs that made her feel "20 years younger". Of course, those have run their course by now, but maybe she couldn't let go of that high...

if trump was supposedly a bad guy or a villain all his life even before the presidency, I'm still wondering how people had more faith in him than Hilary to vote him into office

I wouldn't say it doesn't matter, suddenly the first lady being replaced by a body double is pretty big. Does it affect the country in any way? No, but it shows something went terribly wrong and they are hiding it, either with her recovery from Covid or perhaps she left completely, won't come back, and therefore someone needed to play her for a bit.

Them trying to pass themselves off as a loving couple is one of the biggest lies Trump could tell, and that's saying something.

Well, I mean, except it has apparently been debunked per the link I supplied in the previous post.

And nobody cares if their marriage is a sham. We already know it is and to the Trumpsters and "Evangelicals" it doesn't matter if it is. They're behind him no matter what and if their marriage was so important to them they'd have protested a bit more about his screwing around with sex workers during it.

They didn't, the majority of America was and still is against him, it's only an electoral college victory that allowed him to win. Also Hillary's chances weren't helped any by the fact that Trump came along at a time when the Democrats had just had two terms with the presidency, it's been awhile since any political party has been able to win three times in a row.

and what will you think if he wins again?

There wasn't a goddamn thing.

That the American people are more gullible than we thought.

people are so assured he's going to lose/is fucked there are already memes about it. But not only is that in no way guaranteed, people also firmly believe he colluded with Russia or some foreign powers to cheat his way into office. Assuming that is true and since the dictators out there have said they preferred Trump to Biden, shouldn't he logically be more likely to win?

Because he did, at least his campaign anyway. Thanks to the Mueller Report and the Republican led Senate Intel Committee report.

[YUPPIE]

Because he did

then shouldn't he be in Florence ADMAX for high treason, or at the least in prison while stripped of all his assets including his American status.

He just...pressed on as prez.

[Tazkar]

To be fair....to be fair... Trump is way better at being Divisive than Obama.

I mean Obama was trying to be unifying but still!

And shouldn't Al Capone have been brought in on more than just tax evasion charges?

When Republicans don't care about the rule of law, and apparently the only way he can be removed, is by impeachment? No, apparently not.

[Xyonai]

Team Trump apparently sent a Security Info request to the Commissioner of Cumberland County (PA) that included requests for rather specific bits of information:

Cumberland County officials recieved an email this week from the Trump campaign requesting highly specific details about the county's ballot security.

The email, obtained by The Sentinel, went so far as to ask for the address and room numbers of ballot storage locations, and requested that the information be sent to the Gmail account of a Florida-based Trump operative.

County officials said they have not responded to the request and do not intend to, according to the county commissioners.

Mr Reyes told Channel 4 News that staff from Facebook who were embedded in Project Alamo helped the campaign to maximise engagement with their video messages.

One method used by the campaign was a new feature on Facebook allowing video commercials to be shown full frame on mobile devices.

Mr Reyes told us: “We wanted the videos to be bigger. So we have more space to, for you to see like Trump talking, and then you’d have the subtitles.

“So Facebook came up with this idea of hey what if we filled the entire screen? What if when you’re scrolling, the entire screen gets filled up instead of you just seeing a certain portion of it. And they created that for us.”

Facebook told us: “We were developing vertical video formats in 2015 and rolled them out well before the 2016 election.”

Facebook declined to tell us exactly when the service was rolled out.

The next time Trump and conservatives rail against Facebook and "big tech", remind them that their success relied on the help of Mark Zuckerberg.
