Is Trump blowing it?

[FineSpeech]

What a comical failure. Anyone defending this at this point should be made a laughingstock.

I thought we’d see big changes too—end wars, slash spending, shine a light on hidden stuff. But two months in, and it feels like the same old playbook: conflicts still raging, budgets up, secrets kept, and slow deportations.

Trump's not blowing anything. In fact, he's proceeding rather nicely. It's not like he didn't have an On the Record during his first term to refer to.

Part of the Billionaire's Club, he was successfully able to pit people-against-people, use the immigrant "crisis" that was manufactured by both sides, to empower/enrichen BlackRock/Peter Thiel/Palantir/Musk and the Surveillance Police State, now with a "militarized" border, all while convincing Americans that it is A-O-K to give up their fundamental Bill of Rights. Now that the MIC has wreaked havoc around the world, with the help of Trump and his followers, they turn their attention to the good ol' USSA. Only now it will be more "efficient", since AI is taking over.

Part of that endeavor revolves around Israel and their security apparatus, as he emulates their country by wanting, not an Iron Dome, but a big, beautiful, glorious "Golden Dome", which Peter Thiel/Musk also have the winning bid. Oh, and don't forget NeoShill Kristi, who is earning her keep by working hard to implement "REAL ID". I'm sure she cares though, because heaven forbid we get stopped and frisked and don't have that REAL ID on us and we get shipped off to El Salvador.

I do feel like Republicans will ultimately win in 2028 only because Democrats seem to be pushing AOC and David Hogg at the forefront, showing they haven't learned a thing.

AOC could win she has a nice rack

David Hogg has no such advantage

Sarah Palin was pretty too, and McCain got demolished. AOC is gonna be chewed up and what little remains will get spit back out with no remorse. They're fools if they run her as a serious candidate.

AOC won't even be the Democratic nominee. She won't win a single state.

 

[CaptUSA]

Lol - as if that matters in a Democratic primary.

Lol - as if that matters in a Democratic primary.

Democratic primary is an oxymoron in 2025.

He got a full pardon. So there's no there there. That's how a pardon works. It's as if nothing happened.

That's a dead end religion now. You would have to massively over turn the rule of law in our country to change that.

There are 50 states with 50 state attorney generals who could find some state crime to prosecute him for. That's how the dems went after Trump. State AG's found ways to prosecute him for what should have been federal offenses. (Federal election fraud and federal income tax evasion). Republicans aren't prosecuting Fauci for the same reason Trump never prosecuted Hillary Clinton. They're punks.

We wanted to end wars - Ukraine and Israel are still at it, and now we're bombing Yemen and escalating the rhetoric with Iran
We wanted to dramatically cut government - and yet we have spending INCREASES and DOGE is being relegated to digitizing government systems and trimming redundancies.
We wanted transparency - JFK files were a joke, Epstein information is still safely suppressed
We wanted accountability for corrupt public officials - Patel stopped talking about prosecuting government and wants to go after non-government criminals instead. Tulsi hasn't showed us anything yet.
We wanted to repel the invasion - while they did stem the tide of new illegal immigrants, the deportations are WAY WAY behind schedule. We're not getting them out and they'll be voting soon.

I had low expectations but high hopes for this administration - but 2 months in and all we get is disruptive trade policies and temporary staff reductions? They are meeting my expectations, but dashing my hopes.

So sad, too, given that the American public gave Trump a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

At this point I"m disappointed in Tulsi as well. Her response to the bombing of an entire apartment complex to kill one Houthi leader? "Great work!"



And it's funny that Trump is deporting fewer people while doing more violence to the U.S. Constitution than other presidents.

‘Dark MAGA,’ AKA Dark Enlightenment, which pointedly states that Democracy and the Constitutional Republic must be destroyed and replaced with a techno-monarchy.

Putting America's former top diplomat and the former first lady who accused you of being a Russian sympathizer in jail would have just ruined Trump's reputation and influence.

Hillary at the time atleast was more popular than Trump was. She got more votes.

If you thought those other protests they did were bad there would have been 10 times the protests.

In the end it could have just made Hillary more powerful. Perhaps she would have ran again in 2020 and got elected.

Michael Malice said he's not the river, he's the dam. I prefer to think of him as one big, orange pacifier. He's keeping red blooded American men fiddling while Rome burns.

I've told people that he is probably going to be a last hurrah for feel-good, traditional Americanism before the bottom falls out. The U.S. is most likely cooked, and there's not one person, even Ron Paul during his prime, who could right the ship through political means.

The lack of mass deportations, specifically regarding the 10+ million over Bidens term.

Deporting people to life sentences.

ICE SWAT raids on citizens.

The war on tourists and legal residents.

Attacking Yemen.

Catapulting spending and debt: CR and the MIC.

Fucking Real ID.

Musk is an OPPORTUNIST and member of the Billionaire's Club. He is benefiting by use of tariffs and government intervention [protectionism] to ramp up the price of gas powered automobiles to roll out his "eco-friendly" battery powered cars, which will also require nationwide charging stations, of which "only 7 were built under the Biden Administration".

He also wants to utilize his X platform as the be-all communication/finance manager while sharing its user data with Israel [there is a thread on this]. Musk also stated that he plans to focus his efforts on his Neuralink program.

I am not against the private sector advancing technologies utilizing the free market in its true definition of the term. But this guy has been around D.C. for far too long that it leads to nefarious things that I do not trust further than I can spit.

Welcome to Klaus Schwab's "4th Industrial Revolution" where AI will advance exponentially under this administration, including "more efficient" government where there will be no escaping taxes and KYC - not just here, but globally.

Musk wins government contracts because he makes a better and lower cost product with his reusable rockets he saves the taxpayers money because of innovation.

Electric cars make gas prices lower which helps the economy exponentially by lowering demand for oil it lowers prices we pay for everything.

Gas needed competition to make prices lower.

He also creates a lot of jobs for the US economy.

 

[Snowball]

Since you asked

Even with his underwhelming performance he's still the best President of my lifetime by a significant margin.

Which is kinda sad.

I dunno man. Trump is walking a tightrope. If he had to run right now against the Bill Clinton of 1995
or the Barack Obama of 2012, he would get demolished.

 

[acptulsa]

Right now he's making Jerry Ford look mighty good.

 

[PAF]

This greatest president in recent history is making all prior presidents both republican and democrat look pretty good.
