Forums - Politics - The Trump Thread

I appreciate what you're doing from a political perspective, but if you have multiple news articles to post in a short time window, keep it to one post. Edit that post if you need to, but don't make like three posts in a five-minute span when everything could have been consolidated to one.

uh oh....... guess we are trying to conserve $$$$ so the bill won't be so high.  Definitely.  



There was a big rally in the US called "No Kings"

The funny thing, I've lived in multiple countries with Kings, and all of them are more democratic than the US under Trump. Trump isn't a King, don't flatter him. King's have legitimacy.

The Greek name for a King-like figure that lacks royal legitimacy is a tyrant.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

It's the way presidential republics are structured.

One of the most fatal flaws of presidential republics is simultaneously combining head of state and head of government into a single person and separating the role of head of government from the legislature, and then requiring an elaborate political process to remove a bad president from office. It shouldn't require anything more than a "no confidence" vote from the lower house. I don't think there's ever been a presidential republic which has gone more than a few decades without either an outright constitutional crisis or years of low-grade conflict.

Look at South Korea. They've been a wealthy, functioning democracy for three decades, and one shitbird almost derails the whole thing in one go. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed. This time.

That he's a wrecking ball with no knowledge nor interest in history apart of his own.



Does anybody really think that Trump will be able to serve a 3rd term as he continually threatens to do? Not to make fun of the elderly but he is the classic case of the crazy grandpa who is losing it, and even soils himself regularly according to many sources. He has some health problems with the swollen ankles, ha d bruises, and the signs of dementia as well.

I can't for the life of me see how he'll be able to accomplish this but I also know that it's a case of malignant narcissism. He wants everyone to feel scared at him having a 3rd term and also has a "fake it till you make it" strategy but uses this frequently for the rest of his life.



Trump is claiming $230 million in damages related to the various legal investigations that he has been involved in and says that he can basically make the decision to award this money to himself. That's not quite true because it's a justice department sort of issue nut the article states that this should be no problem since he has many allies in the various federal offices.

Republicans are desperate with their smoke and mirrors tactics to keep DT safe from any special votes, especially anything to do with the 25th amendment or other such measures
