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

The US media is now saying that Trump is laying the groundwork to reject the election results in November if he loses. No sh!t, Sherlocks. What in the last few years would give anyone the impression that Trump would accept election results this time, considering what happened last time? And considering that getting elected is his final "get out of jail free" card, it's likely to be even more blatant this time if he does lose the vote.

The US media seems to be about 10 steps behind Trump, most of the time. They allow him to get away with constant and dangerous lies by never calling him out on it to his face. They just sit back, broadcast his nonsense and then get surprised when he actually follows through on his threats. Absolutely dreadful country.

Steve Bannon championed the so-called 'precinct strategy' in late 2021.

He's called for MAGA activists to infiltrate the election process at every level, right from the ground up.

The lawyers acting for him directly and indirectly are as culpable as him. A lawyer representing one of the persons being sued by the company that the election-deniers said was responsible for the "faulty" count result was kicked off the case by the judge after she ignored orders from him not to make public evidence in the case. She ignored his specific order and released what the judge described as thousands of emails which were evidence in the case. The person she was representing said he is going to appeal the judges order removing her from the case. To this day, she and her former client [he not being Trump - just one cog in the wrecking machine] refuse to accept that Biden won the 2020 election.

Well that's the thing about "Make America Great Again", it's so unspecific that it basically just means "Whenever you thought things were great, that's what I'm going to bring back". It's generic enough that it appeals to everyone's own over-romanticised notions of when they thought the country was best for them, while also meaning absolutely nothing particularly in relation to how bad things may have been for many other people at that same time. It's an utterly meaningless statement with zero substance.

I guess "I'm going to do the things you like, and get rid of the things you don't like" wouldn't fit on the red caps.

One thing you’ve no doubt picked up on over the last five or so years is that Donald Trump almost exclusively surrounds himself with scumbags, despite bold claims to the contrary. More than half a dozen of his advisers have been indicted on federal charges, and that doesn‘t even count people like Rudy Giuliani, who is under investigation for his Ukraine dealings; his son-in-law’s father who he pardoned for illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering; Jeffrey Epstein, who Trump previously palled around with and told New York was a “terrific guy” and “a lot of fun to be with”; and so many others.

One of those other people is Corey Lewandowski, who served as Trump’s original campaign manager before being fired in June 2016 after “a series of incidents that the Trump family worried had cast the candidate in a negative light,” presumably including forcibly grabbing a reporter by the arm and a protester by the collar, reportedly calling a coworker a “**** bitch,” and screaming at a staffer for visiting his dying grandmother as her Last Rites were being administered. Like a moth to a flame, though, Trump couldn’t stay away and, according to The New York Times, just one month later was “reaching out to Mr. Lewandowski again, and he was soon back in the fold.” In the ensuing years, Lewandowski cemented his reputation as a thoroughly despicable human being, from mocking a migrant girl with Down syndrome who had been taken from her mother thanks to the administration’s family separation policy to, according to a police complaint, slapping a woman on the butt at a party at Trump’s D.C. hotel. (It’s unclear what became of that complaint.)

Old story here, but I honestly didn't know about his ties being secured with sellotape.

What is this life that the President of the USA tapes his ties together?

Come on, it's like something that Jim from Friday Night Dinner would do.

Sound's like he's sucking up to Miriam Adelson, the donor-funder he had a staffer send abusive text messages to a few weeks back cos he heard she was funding other GOP Pols besides him. Money makes his world go around…
