[Politics] Donald Trump, US President

[seagullsovergrimsby]

He’s tanked the US economy in 6 months.

This could be a perfect opportunity for Liz Truss to tell him how to do it quicker in future.

He’s tanked the US economy in 6 months.

Do you think that’s going to improve over the arc of his term in office or do you think that’s going to get worse over the arc of his term in office ?

"Think" is doing the BiGLiEST lifting I have ever seen ever there

Live updates: Trump considering selling his Tesla in latest Musk row

The White House tells the BBC the president does not intend to speak to Musk today following their fiery exchanges on Thursday.

Seconds out, round two!

Its a really pointless gesture anyway, as president, Trump has to drive around ( If he can find it ! ) in armoured 4X4's anyway... his protection detail would never let him drive anything other than a golf buggy !

Economic competence is woke (probably)

This could also be a perfect opportunity for these likeminded chaos practitioners to form a new alliance - a coalition of political fcuk ups …

I predict Trump and Musk will be best buddies again in a few weeks, and will continue manipulating the markets

He just can't help himself can he?

I read that his popularity is not only declining domestically but also (not surprisingly) internationally…….except in Russia

Well, I’ve been buying all the shares I can in Tesla and Trump Media. Should be able to sell for a tidy profit in a few weeks.

But according to @lasvegan he hasn't tanked the economy, it's better than under Biden - so he won't be able to answer that!

Oh well, if it’s better than under Biden, who left the economy in pretty robust form, who are we to criticise?

As you were, Mr Trump

Im surprised nobody has mentioned this on the Trump thread

Wait, which one is the Trump thread?

I thought this was the Trump thread, or is it the Musk thread?

I don’t find it particularly funny.

The world is closer to nuclear war than it’s been in decades. Tens of thousands of human beings being blown up, starved, and kidnapped.

We have the leader of the most powerful country in the world and a Multi- billionaire who could potentially assist so many people and help stop suffering, arguing online about inane playground bullshit.

f***ing humans.

The irony is, that another billionaire who does try and do good, spending much of his vast fortune on charitable causes, gets vilified and shit made up about him…

There was another thread for a while - they've been merged, so I guess you're reading a post that was initially on the other thread!

Excellent article by Jeremy Bowen today on BBC online - it’s a long read.

I’m posting a link here because a/ we no longer have a thread dedicated to Israel/Gaza and more significantly b/ because it highlights very well the divide that’s now growing between Trump and Europe over foreign policy in the ME which will only get wider if the EU and UK decide to carry out sanctions/stop selling arms to Israel and recognise Palestine as a separate State.

“Netanyahu himself continues to express support for Trump's widely condemned proposal to turn Gaza into "the Riviera of the Mediterranean", by emptying it of Palestinians and turning it over to the Americans for redevelopment. That is code for the mass expulsion of Palestinians, which would be a war crime. Netanyahu's ultra-nationalist allies want to replace them with Jewish settlers.

Trump himself seems silent about the plan. But the Trump administration's support for Israel, and its actions in Gaza, looks undiminished.”

Israel is accused of the gravest war crimes in Gaza

Distinguished lawyers, senior humanitarians and diplomats tell Jeremy Bowen why they are increasingly concerned about the catastrophe inside Gaza

I see Trump has sent in the National Guard to quell protests in LA stimulated by his immigration arrests and raids. He's praised the National Guard for restoring order - except locally the governors say that they haven't actually arrived yet, and the local forces have dealt with it.

Meanwhile Hegseth is threatening to send in the Marines to act against US citizens. And says...

But of course, it's okay to use violence and destruction if supporting Trump, and indeed if you do so - you will be pardoned.
