Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[PhaelixWW]

1. It's funny when they acknowledge that you can amend the constitution after "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" bullshit.

Well, some of us are consistent in our belief.

But whatever.

[Endus]

By arresting someone for burning a flag, getting it all the way to SCOTUS, and having them decide "whatever Trump decides is illegal is illegal".

People really need more lessons in exactly what law is, as a concept, and how fragile that concept it can be.

The moment the police or the courts do things that are "illegal" and aren't punished, those things aren't illegal any more, at least for the police and the courts. That it's on the books is utterly and completely irrelevant. Which is why, if you study the history of law, as I have, you very early need to learn that there's a wide difference between "what codes of laws contain" and "how cases are actually tried in practice". They aren't the same thing and you absolutely cannot derive the latter by examining the former.

The time has come to create a Space National Guard as the primary combat reserve of the U.S. Space Force.

So as president, I will sign historic legislation creating a Space National Guard. So we’re going to do that. Space Force has been very important, very, very important.

Man, I miss @Skroe

[Kaleredar]

Man, I miss @Skroe

Didnt Trump and co. just do a massive tear down of the national guard in insulting Walz over his service in it?

[Edge-]

Man, I miss @Skroe

Oh are we getting a Space Navy? And a Space Air Force? Wait...

SPACE MARINES?!?!?!

Is Donald making a play for the 40K crowd? Bold move if so.

Edit: You forgot he's still repeating the "iron dome for America" thing. Lordy be how is this reality.

[Odinfrost]

He wants to "make it Constitutional"? How? By passing a new Amendment? Repealing the First?

Or just tearing up the Constitution entirely?

If you buuuuurn, the A-merican flaaaag! You should go to prison, really, you should. First day in office. Bam. No flag burning anymore.
Waste of fabric. Have you touched flag fabric? Really good, really soft. I like touching it. I want to hug it.
I asked Ivanka to wear nothing but the flag so I could hug both and she said no. Can you believe that? I can't believe that. Unbelievable.
- Donald Trump, maybe.

[Redwyrm]

Seriously?

[PhaelixWW]

Seriously?

I'm honestly surprised that you're surprised.

[Redwyrm]

I'm honestly surprised that you're surprised.

I know, "grifters gotta grift" and I shouldn't be surprised by anything this conman does.

It's just the whole "I almost got shot... how do I make money off that" mentality

I sincerely doubt that he came up with the idea himself. Some enterprising group probably pitched him the idea and told him that reminding people of the incident might boost his election chances...


...and make him money, of course.

[Twdft]

It's just the whole "I almost got shot... how do I make money off that" mentality

Nothing more American than that.

[PhaelixWW]

Nothing more American than that.

It's sad, but it could still be even worse; there's always Kyle Rittenhouse's "I shot people in 'self defense'... how do I make money off that" mentality.

Recruiting? I hear they have this thing. They call it a Cuba. Cuba. Cubala. Damo cuba. Makes marines. Big marines. Warriors. Strong like iron. Within and without.
We're investing heavily in the Daemonculaba.

It's more than American, it's Modern American. Making money just by existing.

Haven't we already seen...

Oh, right:



I feel like another picture has been posted ITT before, too.

That would certainly explain the GOP's stance on women

Donald Trump, flag molester


I'm not sure which is more disgusting: that he does such transparent and pathetic stunts, or that people still support him afterwards.

The executives at former president Donald Trump's Truth Social venture are officially starting to cash out of its meme stock.

According to a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) CFO and treasurer Juhan Phillip has already sold a whopping $1.9 million worth of company shares.

CEO Devin Nunes and COO Andrew Northwall joined in as well, selling chunks of their holdings.

Meanwhile, Trump is likely also getting ready to offload his 114 million TMTG shares — roughly 60 percent of the company's outstanding stock — as soon as next month. The six-month lockup period determined by the SEC is set to expire as soon as September 20, clearing the way for Trump to pull out.

As Quartz reports, Trump could make upwards of $2 billion, a hefty sum — but a fraction of what he could've gotten away with earlier this year, before the price inevitably crashed.

Unless investors jump ship before Trump could unload. However, even then, he already made his money.

Now the ruse is almost up, with executives starting to pull out. If Trump were to lose to vice president Kamala Harris in the upcoming election, TMTG would be on even thinner ice, according to experts.

"It’s purchasing his brand," vice president of research at Morningstar John Rekenthaler told Quartz. "But he’s not going to have a brand if he loses a second straight presidential election."

With a second loss, the stock could "go to zero," Rekenthaler predicted.

Whether that would come as a disappointment to Trump is unlikely. The former president has already made more than $1 billion in earnout shares and could easily net another $2 billion soon.

"This is very likely to be his single most successful enterprise," Rekenthaler argued.

I feel like there will be no shares left to short, and that absolutely fucking nobody is gonna be buying shares after the crash.

It's wild how transparent this grift is yet people will still get wealthy off of this bullshit. The stock market is such a fucking irrational scam and I'm tired of people pretending it's anything more than that.

People handing Trump two billion dollars for a worthless Chinese Twitter knockoff sickens me. The only consolation is the people handing him the money are setting it on fire, as the platform will be useless without Trump and the investors are getting what they deserve: ripped off.
