What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

Cruz is an odious human.

Imagine licking the ass of the man who dunked on your wife in front of hundreds of millions of peoples. More backbone in a jellyfish.

The lack of backbone in the GOP is truly beyond belief. Didn't Trump accuse Ted Cruz's father of being involved in the JFK assassination? And make disparaging comments about Cruz's wife? And yet, Cancun Cruz spends 23 hours a day licking Trump's boots. You'd wonder how he can sleep at night.

On a big pile of money from all his donors because helping support Trump's agenda and remaining one of the top GOP guys would keep the cash rolling in.

It's how his wife sleeps next to him that I fail to understand, because she's the one the comments were made about. How she or his daughters have stuck around is something I don't understand.

What a guy.

* Packing was rushed and some confidential docs may have been inadvertently put in the boxes.

* Trump liked to bring work home with him.

* The warrant violates the 4th amendment

Any others?

Not sure, but there has to be something.

People who are thick and gullible enough to still believe Trump's brand of bullsh!t are thick and gullible enough to have their minds changed, whether it's a new brand of bullsh!t or not.

Not only a dangerous lie but an example of how flawed Trump and his supporters view of the separation of powers actually is and a very clear indication of just how much political & executive control was exerted over the Judicial branch by Trump' WH.

This really has the feeling of being much more serious than anything else Trump has faced.

For a start, he isn't POTUS and isn't pretty much immune from removal. There is no doubt that the Russia report would have led to issues had he not been POTUS.

Second, this is not getting one over the libs, teaching Nato a lesson or doing anything that can even be twisted to be in US favour. This is clearly something Trump did purely for himself. No one can, or indeed has, tried to argue that Trump was doing anything but for himself.

Thirdly, Trump has successfully latched on to the gun-loving, military-obsessed, fervent patriot. This flys directly in the face of that. This put state secrets, secrets that could give US enemies the advantage, in the open.

His core support won't budge, at least not vocally, but I think those not fervent support but still willing to put up with him may find this a little difficult to ignore.

And whilst initially the line about no warrant, Biden's political stunt, FBI deep state etc gave them some talking points, as each day passes it gets worse for Trump and the reality even starker.

I wouldn't bet on it, Trump has baffled more attuned political thinkers than me thus far, but this feels different.

I said "realistically". There would be zero point to Trump changing his positions on most of those things, although he could possibly swing free health care and education in the right circumstances. After all, he did say he wanted to make that special antibody therapy for covid free, despite the expense of administering it and no one in his base seemed to take issue.

Its not so much what he could do, he'd want to be caught with a smoking gun in such a way that he couldn't lie his way out of it.

It still wouldn't matter. If they had video footage of him selling the names of spies to SA or nuclear secrets to Russia, he would claim it was a hoax and his ... fans would believe it. We have already concluded that there is no line he can cross that would dissuade them. Such a following has nothing to do with the GOP and is all about trump and his GQP cronies. It is NOT about politics. trump and the GQP do NOT represent traditional GOP values. MGT stated that herself. So if it is not about politics then it is about the cult of personality. Cult being the operative word. In this thread you find very few blowing their Biden trumpet. This is NOT about Democrats and Republicans. Personally, I think Biden is weak and don't believe they should run him next election.

So this thread, by its very title was NOT about the GOP but about trump (And, by extension, his GQP and their followers). And they do NOT care about politics. They simply care about trump and his agenda against people who wronged him. He has displayed ZERO loyalty to the principles of the GOP and, indeed, called the GOP RINOs. Again, this is NOT about politics. This is about personal gain, personal retribution. If Cruz had a spine or MGT and her buddies had an ounce of empathy in them, trump would turn on them JUST as quickly as he has turned on the GOP. Over the next few days/weeks they may mumble some concerns with the most recent revelations. Purely out of self preservation. NO other reason. And if that happens, he WILL round on them. And all their Machiavellian machinations will be for nought. (And that WOULD be a joy to watch). The ONLY reason he would care about the next election is because he lost the last one and he, as a "person" cannot abide losing. So he will run and, not only to: "Stick it to the Lips" but also to "Stick it to the RINOs"

make you wonder what she would do if she lost and had nothing to lose before leaving office....
