[Politics] Donald Trump, US President

[Insel affe]

A friend of mine (British, never been to America) has been championing Trump for the last decade. The moment that Orange C*nt rolled down the escalator, he's been talking him up. The first term he said that it was the "deep State" that stopped his "inevitable" ascension to greatness and incredible prosperity for the entire country (and probably the world). He does not believe (present tense) that Trump lost the 2020 election.

I never thought the penny would drop or that he would see the light, but he now has. The Zelenskyy meeting, obviously winding him up to get the TV moment he wanted, was the first straw and now the tariffs and cuddling up to Musk has broken the back of this particularly thick and water-retaining camel.

He announced this revelation recently and seemed annoyed when I told him, very firmly, to f*** off. If it hasn't been obvious from the beginning, I don't want to hear about how he's seen the light now. It's better late than never, but I can't stand the people (And I'm sure there will be more, but none on this thread) who are now (or shortly about to) realising what an imbecile he is and how little regard he has to anything other than himself. Fact.

You have to realise, and save the anger...
It won't achieve anything, it could push them back, welcome his mistake with open arms, Trump played to these people and has duped millions.

We now have to hope millions more see the light like your friend, if we don't......

Switch the light off will ya

It really grated on me. For a decade I've been hearing how wrong I am, how wrong the media is. How everyone who thinks he's a selfish bastard is wrong, misguided and a sheep. Otherwise he's a good bloke, but deep down he's a total spanner.

Happy Liberation Day!

Happy Liberation Day!

Is that the same as 'Tariff Day' ?

Happy Liberation Day!

It's Libation Day as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Bozza]

Or "**** Day", as I'm calling it here.

Happy Liberation Day!

Nobody liberates better than he does. Nobody. He's the best liberator. He really is.

”Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency, will step down "soon" amid reports that Trump's cabinet has begun to view the billionaire as a political liability.”

Called it

I wonder if this is as much, if not more, about Musks involvement DOGE than anything else. Musk’s influence behind the throne may have become a liability for Trump - and we all know how Trump dispatches those that have lost their uses for him. We can only hope.

Does Tangoman think Musk is now too right wing for this administration ?

Imagine, if you can, how much of a **** you must be, for Trump et al to label you a political liability.

I describe my boss in similar terms

This is undoubtably because of the money he sank into the Wisconsin supreme court race only to be soundly defeated.

He is electoral poison. He literally paid people for votes and still couldn't win.

Just been chatting over a beer with a few friends and thus was our take too.

so nothing about the 130 day limit for unconfirmed appointees.

Interesting. Didn't know about that.

Well, the demise of the bromance has happened earlier than I thought it would. I wonder if Elon will make him pay for his Tesla?

You believe that matters to them?

 

[beorhthelm]

probably, confirmation would require him to reveal lots of financial infomation. ignoring the rules, bypassing congress he's not officially in the job, illegitimising his position, before getting into what he does.

 

[Bodian]

Quite

so nothing about the 130 day limit for unconfirmed appointees.

However, the 130 days is the end of May - not 'the next few weeks', so it may have been brought forward?
