Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Doomcookie]

Just think of it as a "merger" with Canada.

Is that the line he used after sexually abusing women?

[Bwgmon]

I mean beyond all of the implications behind trying to "purchase greenland" and whatnot. Why cant we simply admit that this is something that Trump wants to do? Like Somewhatconcerned knows its a stupid idea so that is why he calls it trolling, why not simply say that Trump is having a stupid idea

Yeah, what I'm getting at is that every route from his "joke" inevitably ends with "Trump looks like a shithead," which is what Somewhat's "those people" group is looking for, so there's not really a "win" there for Somewhat.

[Somewhatconcerned]

Also, has anyone asked Canada if they're interested in merging? No? Why would you write this, then?

We should ask them. I think the responses might surprise you.

[Corvus]

Senility on open display right there.

And he is backpedalling on Ukraine as well. Gone is the we can solve it in a day to hoping it can be done in 6 months.

Hey, did you find Burisma on a map yet? Still helping you can help you, you did seem to imply Bursima was a foreign nation. Are you thinking Burma/Myanmar?

And why ask them? You said we should just think of it as a merger. Is it not a merger, then? They haven't been asked?

Are you alright?

[Marfrilau]

Yeah, it's all hot air being blown for the sake of attention. The media should ignore this type of stupidity but of course ratings mean they never will, Trump is too good for their business.

Or alternatively he always had these dumb ideas but there were still adults around him during his first term that stopped the most insane stuff from happening. Those people are gone now. Add to that, he literally tried to overturn the results of an election he lost and got no punishment for it. He was instead rewarded with another term by the voters. He and the people around him must believe they can do just about anything and get away with it.

The next 4 years is not going to be like the previous term.

You're right, I goofed on Burisma.

I still don't care who Melania does business with lol

But you cared who Hunter Biden did business with. Why? Why doesn't it matter who the First Lady does business with? Much like Hunter doesn't sleep in the same bed his father sleeps in, I don't think Melania regularly occupies the bed her legal husband sleeps in.

Just trying to figure out if I'm understanding you correctly.

[SAY HER NAME]

Trump is going senile. Its kinda sad and funny seeing his fans rstionalize the senility. Oh well

[Shadowferal]

He's dementia is on full display. Jack Smith and his report are eating away at him...

Trump's always had stupid ideas. The wall was a stupid idea. New NAFTA was a stupid idea. There's tons of others that I'm forgetting but the bullshit hose has not ceased firing since 2016. He'll forget a good amount of them, try to implement some others but mostly fail because he's incompetent at actually governing, and whatever "successes" come out of his administration will be things any other Republican would have done because the idea and execution for it won't come from him or his inner circle of equally inept assholes and sycophants.

I do agree that the pathetic lack of consequences for Jan 6th likely emboldened him in his ways, but this whole "merge with Canada 51th state lol" is very obviously hot air made to keep him in the news. This trolling shouldn't be given any attention as he'll be distracted by something else if it's not.

Again, this reads like you think it's still 2016 and Trump hasn't realized he can't surround himself with establishment Republicans. He learned his lesson. There's not going to be principled people at the DoJ that will threaten to resign if he appoints a nobody environmental lawyer as the head of the DoJ in order to pressure states to investigate election fraud. There's not going to be a Mike Pence that will refuse to go along with his plan to overturn the results of an election. This time people wont ignore his ideas until he forgets about them.

The internal forces that kept him at bay in a lot of cases will not be there this time. For obvious reasons Canada will not become a 51st state. But that's not because anyone in his administration will stop it. That's due to external forces. Canada will refuse. They shouldn't have to...

[s_bushido]

I think you're wrong. The media ignoring Trump's lunacy over the past 4 years, and treating him like a legitimate political figure instead of the incoherent narcissist at the head of a party with completely incoherent/nonexistent policy, is what contributed to the situation we're in now.

He can not have mildly competent establishment Republicans tell him how things actually work. That means he'll try and push through whatever inane bullshit he has on his mind, and if Congress is at all involved a good bunch of that will be stalled. And Congress is involved in most decisions that affect Americans. It's actually foreigners that need to deal with his stupid ass alone since the President has a lot of power there, but as you said the whole buying Greenland and merging into Canada idiocy is a non starter from the word go.

Yeah, we shouldn't have to explain to the orange monkey that our country isn't interested in becoming his. But we do, because Americans voted him in and we gotta deal with this special brand of absurd nonsense for four years until they hopefully screw their head back on for 2028. Hopefully Polievre isn't going to kiss the ring as much as I fear he will.

I'm not saying nothing will come out of his presidency. Obviously some of his dumb ideas, and the dumb ideas of his entourage and fair-weather friends like Musk, will make it through and it'll be bad news for nearly everybody else on the planet. The rest of us will have to grin and bear it. His first term passed, so shall this one. Hopefully.

I'm obviously not suggesting the world will end. But for a fun (or not) thought experience. Imagine Trump being the president during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Put it like that, I don't want to. Trump being prez during a major international crisis is probably the thing that is the scariest about him being elected. Who knows what'll happen with China and Taiwan within the next four years. Nothing major, one hopes, as I doubt China is at all actually ready to force this particular issue with guns in hand. But I sure don't want him in that seat during such a time if it happens.

He'll let em have Taiwan, on "promises" to not fuck up chips and shit coming to the US until January 19th 2029. Then do what you want.
Then claim he made peace, biggest peace in the world. Huge peace. Peace so big he could stick he fingers in it without consent and it wouldn't sue him.

They did, 80% of Canadians said no.

How much do you reckon it'll cost to update maps and other prints in schools because we're having yet another Freedom Fries/Freedom Molecules moment?
