Donald Trump the Megathread part II - threadbans and mod warnings in OP

I’d love to see Cal Thomas’s reaction to the RNC? Previous versions had put forward Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan .

The other night we had Hulk Hogan ripping off a T shirt !

Rewatching his speech at the RNC…a 90 minute ramble on absolutely nothing. Him talking about AI and how it needs twice as much electricity that the country has to operate…what????

Do you think its Soros?

I think it is the Irish Government in our case. And The US Governments in the case of the US. Do you think it's Soros?

Ah yes, the Nazis who were famous for increasing diversity in the workplace and recognising systemic inequalities.

Just some alternative facts. A fine character of a man, and truly amazing that he has so many followers.

Found that on Reddit.

Imagine the level of baseball that would have been reached had it not been for those bone spurs. Many people say I would have been the best baseball player ever. Better than Babe Ruth. You gotta have a big brain to be a good baseball player. A stable one. Stable genius if you will.

Here is Trump echoing the language of the Nazis, talking about his political opponents as vermin and pledging to "root them out".

How is that not villifying them?

How is that not "removing them from their earned positions"?

Trump tried to steal an election to circumvent American Democracy, but of course, we all know that.

He then orchestrated an attack on Government buildings, but of course, we all know that.

Ironic Trump talking about fascists while invoking their language.
The fascists are in the mirror.

He invokes the language of the Nazis, not to describe Jews, but to describe immigrants.

First the Nazis came for the Communists…

"We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country,"

"I simply believe that their political system has been corrupted by corporations for decades and needs a good clean gutting on both sides"

AKA Drain the swamp, AKA Trump's message.

Anyone who thinks that 45 was interested in doing this is utterly, utterly delusional.

He is one of the most corrupt presidents ever. Shamelessly so.

The fact that you or anyone else, goes to bat for him is beyond understanding.

Well, if Bernie Sanders had been allowed to take on Trump in 2016 or 2020 perhaps all this could have been avoided, I'd have voted for him, he'd have wiped the floor with Trump and he would been able to last two terms easily ….but the leaders of the Democratic party went a different way, the same leaders who have led the party into the disarray we see today….they've dug their own graves, it's the people who have defended these people are the people I feel sorry for, the real deplorable are the influencers in the media in my view.

I think there is more chance of WW3 with Trump in the White House, giving dog whistles to dictators that they can attack US allies if Trump thinks they "haven't paid their bills". And if Trump tries to 'reward' or 'appease' illegal invasions by dictators with territory and concessions etc. I can think of nothing more likely to lead to more conflict.

And I say that over any Biden, Harris or any Democrat who would be consistent with usual US policy on this.

Similarly I think under Trump US foreign policy could be manipulated not by US national interest or economic interests but the economic interests of the Trump family.

And lets not pretend there is any real equivalence between the levels of "behaving dangerously" when it comes to language and rhetoric. For every one instance from the Democrats, we can point to ten, far worse by Republicans, since Tea Party \ MAGA \ Trump Republicans came onto the scene.

"I honestly can't say."

Yes you can. You absolutely can.

You won't.

That's the truth of it.

Is this an interrogation or a discussion…you do realise anything we say here to each other is completely meaningless right, we can change nothing!!

Can you explain to me why he will become the most voted for politician in US history come November (given his vote in 2016, 2020, 2024) without insulting the people who voted for him? He has won the nomination 3 times, he will have run for President 3 times.

I do think he can be a divisive character, I can only imagine what working for him is like.

I will give you a straight answer, but first you do not know that he will become the most voted for president of all time. I've noticed about some posts that people speak with such certainty. No one knows. Absolutely no one. Poles have been and continue to be wrong. Otherwise I would remortgage my house and head down to Paddy Power.

There are multiple reasons why he was voted for, most of which are that people believe that he will make their lives better, be it through the economy, immigration whatever. That's their belief. I don't share it, as I have seen what he has done when he had the house, senate and WH.

Re working for him - may be a divisive character? He nearly got Pence killed ffs.
