Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Belize]

is it really tho?

i mean you have dudes sharing classified info on discord with teens to look cool

having known multiple people who had various levels of security clearances over the years, this is absolutely necessary (and will be ignored anyways)

Discord?
How dare you disrespect the War Thunder forums like that, they've gotten infinitely more leaks.

i'll note that he doesn't appear to say that he no longer does this

so there's a non-0% chance that the current hhs secretary is doing lines of toilet seats in the white house

"Germs don't work on me, I've snorted coke off a toilet" is a good joke for a sitcom, like Mom, but for the leader of a major government agency it's just straight worrying.

It's basically the early life of Tim Allen or Robert Downey Jr.

Hey, I found some juicy kristi "puppy slayer" noem news too good not to share.

ICE Barbie’s Alleged Lover Caught Lusting After Her Body
Oh this is good. *cue the 90210 theme song.* Too dated? *cue the Melrose Place theme song*

Kristi Noem’s rumored lover, Corey Lewandowski, allegedly sought out clothing for his mistress designed to flatter her proportions—specifically her breasts.

Noem, 54, dubbed “ICE Barbie” for her penchant for cosplaying in uniform in her role as Department of Homeland Security Secretary, has allegedly been addressed in intimate terms by Lewandowski, her 52-year-old aide, The New York Post reported Friday.
The reported assessment of Noem’s appearance from Lewandowski follows denials about the affair from both. Noem has three children, and her husband sells crop insurance in South Dakota, while Lewandowski’s wife stays in New Hampshire with their four children.

But a spate of reporting this week is fueling heightened speculation that the DHS secretary and her special government employee—who is legally only allowed to work for 130 days per year—are not just colleagues. The new details follow a September report from New York magazine that detailed the alleged affair.

Lewandowski, a 2016 Trump campaign manager who was fired for assaulting a female reporter, and Noem have been the subject of extensive gossip, including by the president himself.
Sources told the Post that Trump “frequently” shares the moment he caught on to the affair; the germophobe president saw Noem and her top deputy both drink from the same soda can.
“You can’t do that, it’s pretty obvious!” Trump reportedly said. “You can’t do that, everyone’s going to know!”

The biggest bombshells about Kristi Noem and her top aide Corey Lewandowski from the Wall Street Journal’s expose

“Noem routinely berated staff if she saw Homan on TV and kept track of both their appearances to make sure she was on TV more than him,” the WSJ reports.

“On at least one occasion, she asked aides to ensure she drew a bigger crowd at a conference than Homan, who was speaking on a different day.”

A DHS spokesperson told the WSJ the claim was false.

The newspaper adds that Noem and Homan rarely speak and that he has complained to the White House about her leadership of DHS.

*cue closing theme music* Only the best, BESTEST, people.

There goes Ohio showing it only votes for the best.

Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted has accepted $116,892 from Les Wexner between 2001 and 2025, according to Federal Election Commission and Ohio Secretary of State campaign finance records reviewed by TiffinOhio.net.

Wexner, the billionaire founder of Victoria’s Secret parent company L Brands, was publicly identified this week as a “co-conspirator” of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in FBI documents.

Husted took $3,500 from Wexner as recently as July 3, 2025 — just two months before voting on September 10, 2025 to block a bipartisan Senate amendment that would have directed the Attorney General to publicly release documents related to Epstein.

The financial relationship spans Husted’s entire political career, from his time in the Ohio legislature through his current role as U.S. Senator. Campaign finance records show Husted is the only senator up for re-election in 2026 who accepted contributions from Wexner during the 2025-2026 election cycle.

Is it wrong that my only remaining thought on America's obvious corruption is how cheap it is to buy a politician?

You're forgetting that unlike normal goods/services, the politician can be bought by multiple people at the same time.

Nice system if you're rich, innit? Doesn't matter whom the plebs vote into office, you get to vote with your money when politicians auction off themselves.

Also, mad dig at members of the army.

“She’s out of your league, bro. Clearly she must be trying to exploit your dumb ass for military secrets. Only reciprocate to uggos like you.”

Also incredibly stupid as the best way to learn military secrets is War Thunder

1000 year diaper grandpa is wishcasting again.

"Whether approved by Congress or not" is 100% dictator behavior.

There is no federal law about voter ID. I'm fairly sure none can be passed, either, but that's not the point. Trump cannot enforce a law that doesn't exist. Claiming he will anyhow is announcing not just refusing to adhere to the law, but his desire to break it.

I call upon everyone in the US to bring this exact quote to their Senators' and Rep's attention. Even if they are Republican. "With or without Congress" should be a warning sign. I know I'm bringing this to the local office of the whore of my retiring Rep Elise Stefanik, and pointing out correctly that a lack of statement otherwise is implied agreement. Granted, it won't affect her re-election chances because she's not running, but anything that drags her name through the mud will help whichever Democrat runs against her attempted replacement.

Unrelated: MAGA continues to turn on itself. Candace Owens claims Kid Rock's show was staged.

"Well, yeah, it was on a stage."

She claimed it was filmed over two days and edited together.

"Why are you quoting the Tennessean?"

She lives in Nashville.

Owens claimed that the performance was filmed about two weeks ago outside Atlanta and that audience members were paid a $250 stipend.

She said there were only 180 people in the audience, that TPUSA used "camera tricks" to make it appear more full, and that each artist performed three to five takes of every song, except Barrett.

"Is this related to the allegations of lip syncing?"

No. It's related to the admission of lip syncing.

Rock came under fire when viewers online pointed out inconsistencies during "Bawitdaba," alleging the performance was lip-synced, which Kid Rock has denied.

In a Feb. 10 video on X, Rock said that the production crew was not "super familiar" with the song and did not show his DJ, Paradime, whom he alternates lyrics with during the song.

"When we're rapping it, that song takes so much energy," Rock said.

"He's filling in those words for me so I can (catch my breath), bang my head, keep going and carrying on."

"I wasn't lip syncing, I just wasn't singing while the words were coming out" is the quality of dishonesty we should expect from MAGA at this point.

But it's not just a tired old no-name has-been person Trump isn't repaying their loyalty going after Candace Owens that's the rift. I'm spending a CNN point to also point out that Trump was upset that Republicans are calling him racist for being a racist.

The president railed against South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott — the sole Black Republican senator and chair of the Senate GOP’s campaign arm — throughout the weekend at Mar-a-Lago, arguing one of his top congressional allies was out of line to call his White House racist, the sources said.

“The president felt he could’ve handled that matter privately,” a senior Trump administration official told CNN of Scott. “He was like, ‘We work together all the time. He didn’t need to comment publicly.’”

Trump had even stronger words for Alabama Sen. Katie Britt, one of the sources recalled, using expletives to denounce her and declaring that she was dead to him.

Britt’s office slammed that account as “fake news”

Which means it's true.

and touted her strong working relationship with the president, while the White House praised her as “an incredible ally” whom the president has “great respect” for. Scott’s office declined to comment.

But the episode, which marks one of the starkest GOP breaks from the president ahead of the 2026 midterms, also reflects how such moments have frustrated the commander in chief.

I don't know how to describe this accurately. Part of me wants to say "You should have pointed out how I am a horrible human being behind closed doors". More of me wants to say "How dare you post in public about the posts I made in public?" is the bigger deal, as it leans into the "Trump can say whatever and everyone must back it or be shunned" dictatorship mentality we've seen. Trump is demanding not just that the GOP back his ruining the economy and murdering people in the street, but also back his blatant racism as well. It's the all Trump all the time party.

Team Trump has real problems right now. That's why they're clinging to this willfully fraudulent jobs report and the DOW being above 50,000 (checks news) back below 50,000. DHS just lost its funding. The Epstein files have gone worldwide, meaning that the UK, France, etc. are conducting their own investigations, and Trump can't expect any help covering up his name in those. The cultists that Trump willfully inspired to see everything as a government conspiracy are turning on Bondi for being a government conspiracy. And the Washington Examiner notes both that wages are growing less than inflation and health care costs are killing affordability as a result of Trump's direct actions, both in the last 24 hours.

This is why Trump needs to pull a dictator move on the elections. He has nothing else.

Trumps only loyalty has always only been to trump. He's only labeled a republican because that was the party he hijacked the easiest. MTG figured that out, and now it sounds like some of the others are realizing it as well.
Too bad they already sold their souls.

They can realize it (or have realized it years ago) that won't change the reality that they can't/won't fight Trump.

Remember MTG publicly fought Democrats for years without issue and after the opening salvo of her fight with Trump turned around and ran for the hills.

Tells his daughter he wouldn't mind if she got sexually assaulted because he has other daughters.

He asks his daughter to come to his bedroom to show her "something".

"Accidentally" shoots his daughter who dies.

Probably won't face charges because "Conservative gun loving county in Texas".

"The rules exist to protect the in-group but not to bind them, and to bind the out-group and not to protect them."

The only principle that conservatives of any stripe actually hold to when push comes to shove. She was a "lib" and he's a Republican, so murdering his daughter is A-OK with these chucklefucks, because all that matters is protecting "their guy" and she wasn't really a human being to any of them, including her father, anyway. Because she's not Republican like them.

i recall talking about how republicans view their children as property, recently

i'll just note this very much reinforces that hypothesis

Just look at their views on letting women have bodily autonomy. They don't care.

You see, bodily autonomy sounds mechanical as a term, proving women are robots, and clankers don't have rights and are made to serve actual people (white (rich) people) dammit!

Just as a note, while she was his child, she was by no means *a* child because she was twenty-three when this happened.

I live in Ohio.

Ohio hasn't voted for the best for about 20 years now. We are striving to be closer to the bottom third. Not quite Florida or West Virginia levels.
