(Soon to be) Former President Donald Trump

[Paulie Walnuts]

I pretty much always say any time someone gets elected, whether it’s here, America or anywhere else that generally speaking, it’ll never be nearly as bad as the doomsday scenarios that you’ll usually hear people discussing. Generally speaking, I’d largely still say that’s the case.

This presidency however has a truly horrific, dangerous feel to it.

He's basically blamed the helicopter for the crash. Says he was briefed extensively, but this is a man who's inner circle used pictures during his last term as his attention span was so short.

He does not have enough info at this point to be pointing fingers at or exonerating anyone, not the helicopter, not the airline and not the ATC. A message of condolence is all that is needed from him.

But no, he tried to score some points. And the. Blaming diversity as the issue?

3 soldiers and 60 citizens are dead and that’s the time to go after woke?

Every time you think he has reached the bottom of the barrel he goes lower. He is utter **** and the more brazen he gets the more it sounds like the Nazis

Doesn’t get much lower than this.

I'm not sure there is a bottom to his lack of empathy and concern over anything that isn't him.

That's the way fascism works. He has to go lower then lower because if he mellows he'll lose support from those who put him where he is. The hard facts are that a huge proportion of the American electorate want to see people hurting, they believe that certain groups of people are to blame for all their perceived troubles and think it will make their lives better. When bad times come calling, people turn on each other, from burning witches to Nazi extermination camps, we've seen it all before. The only question is, how far will Trump go to be seen to be "draining the swamp"?

He's not really bothered if people die as a consequence of his actions to further personal aggrandisement. In fact freeing his Capitol Hill rioters tends to suggest if there's an opportunity to feel even more popular he'll take it irrespective.

Given his downward descent into depravity, could the title of this thread, this time round, become a reality, sooner than we think and hope. Fingers crossed.

I was thinking that as well. There’s surely a very, very real chance he gets assassinated.

Well I can’t deny the thought did pass through my mind. But I was thinking more that Trump’s behaviour and utterances might become so debased that even his fellow Republicans will not tolerate it.

More likely impeached. No chance it happens before mid terms.

And be left with Vance? Not sure that would be any better.

Maybe Vance will switch to his original views on the Orange one? Anything for power and all that.

The chance to be Obergruppenfurher must be tempting, assuming Musk and all the other unelected gang members allow it.

Air crash because of women, gays and black folks according to Trump.

To be fair, he seems to be specifically blaming the physically and mentally disabled for this one.

Maybe he will do an impression of disabled people again.

The past couple of days, government websites are being stripped of research and other content, on subjects such as LGBTQ, HIV, climate change, demographics and 'unfortunate' aspects of the country's past. These sites belong to the likes of the US Department of Agriculture, the National Park Service, the National Institutes for Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Census Bureau, with staff trying frantically ensure that the content is downloaded or retained on the Internet Archive or elsewhere.

Worth noting that there is currently a TB outbreak and bird flu cases that the CDC isn't allowed to communicate about, since last week's edict that they can' talk to the outside world.

And today in, "the truth is what I say it is", he issued an Executive Memorandum (complete with video of him gazing thoughtfully at a folder and gently nodding approval) that the plane crash was the fault of Joe Biden and DEI.

3 years and approx. 50 weeks to go.

Hope you're not being too optimistic.

[Bristolhibby]

Oh no! Another plane crash, this time an air medical transport carrying a sick child and her mother.

Another chance for Trump to blame the democrats for this.

Can’t help feeling a department where people have been offered early redundancy can’t have the best motivation to work.

It’s an unfortunate coincidence that the poor souls in the air crash in Philadelphia were Mexican. Loads of ammunition for the conspiracy theorists.

Trump has signed in 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods and 10% on Chinese, he confirmed that the EU will be next.

Whisky producers will be hoping the rumours UK will be left are true as it will give them a price advantage over Irish whiskey in the big US market

I'm probably approaching this too simplistically but the Americans do seem to buy, and maybe rely on a lot of foreign made goods.

Whether it's because they can't produce them economically or are just so complacent that they think prices will stay low or even drop now the big orange guy is lashing out, it seems like they might be heading towards higher prices and /or a bit less availability- a bit like post Brexit UK.

US Tariffs have previously affected Scottish businesses, most recently the 25% tariff on whisky.

One of the most devastating, though, was in the early 90s, when US tariffs caused devastation to the Textile industry in the Scottish Borders.

Bizarrely, the latter was initially triggered by a war between US owned banana producers and their EU supported counterparts in the Caribbean.

Being a continental-sized nation, they're far less reliant on imports than the UK, by about 15% to 30% of GDP. Because their economy is so big, however, exporting to the US is important for foreigners. It seems like they want to go back to 19th century government financing and zero income tax.

Depends which stats you use. US stats suggest the US exports more to us than we do to them. UK figures suggest otherwise.

good luck to them with that, seems like there's a huge assumption that other more productive nations will just roll over like Colombia did recently.
I'm not confident the USA can fire up it's own production economically during the orange guy's term, especially given the way he flits from soundbite to soundbite and that he doesn't really foresee that his statements often have consequences.
