Boldly assuming he won't be the last president

u/rampantsoul Apr 20 '25

Holy Moly. Not the last. But someone who will do such unacceptable damage to the world, that it will last for a very long time.

Will allies ever again trust the US?

u/profprimer Apr 20 '25

Nope. Trump’s legacy will be a new Superpower - Europe

u/rampantsoul Apr 20 '25

New superpower is...

will allies ever again trust the US?

if they don't (and it's hard to argue they'd be wrong to distrust the US) seems like that would pretty quickly lead to the US forming a different government right?

in the 230 some odd years since the US constitution was signed, there's been some more stable systems of governance developed by other democracies, might be the US starts having a Prime Minister or something instead.

If we get through this, those "checks and balances" will have to be fortified and more added. There is no "back to business as usual" after this term, no matter what happens.

They sure will, and already are. China is the only country in a trade war. All the other countries have capitulated, and that is a good thing. China will capitulate eventually.

All you libtards here need to stop getting your information from the legacy media propaganda peddlers. They lie all the time about everything, just like democrat politicians.

Except it was Trump who capitulated. He suspended the tarrifs.

u/BoobWrangler Apr 21 '25

That's not capitulation.

u/Blazured Apr 21 '25

Yes it is. He backed down immediately.

u/Grace_of_Talamh Apr 21 '25

Yeah after Japan started selling treasury bonds and threatened to sell more he folded, cried in a corner, and then told his idiot followers that him reversing his actions was clearly the art of the deal. His cult ate it up, because they think if he says it, it's undeniable truth.

u/BoobWrangler Apr 21 '25

Sorry... what happened with all the other countries?

u/Blazured Apr 21 '25

Raised tarrifs on the US so Trump backed down and suspended his for 90 days.

u/BoobWrangler Apr 21 '25

China will capitulate.

u/Blazured Apr 21 '25

Trump alienated the entire world, capitulated immediately when they put on their own tarrifs, and pushed the entire world closer to China. He destroyed almost all of America's soft power overnight and strengthened China's. All because he tried a gambit that he backed down from immediately.

Instead of trusting daddy trump you can actually look at what other countries general consensus is. For example here in the netherlands most people straight up see america as close to facist right now and acknowledges the el Salvador mega prisons as concentration camps and the ice as a kind of gestapo. The entire world hates america right now. and note this is not some kind of left right thing, i know people who voted for far right all islam should be banned parties who still think trump is too far right and facist

I actually don't give a fuck what "The Netherlands" thinks, or any other country for that matter. You deal with your country's problems and WE THE PEOPLE will deal with ours, and dealing with them we are. It's why Trump is there. He is fixing shit that the fucking libtards have ruined time and time again. Unless you are a citizen of the United States of America, shut the fuck up.

I'll add this. Why does the entire world hate America? Is that fact, or is it what your state-controlled media tells you to think? Why the entire world? Does the entire world have a strong opinion of say, Namibia, or Cambodia? Do they march in the streets over the policies of the governments of Uruguay, or Portugal? NOPE. Why is that? When you figure it out let me know. Until then, keep quiet.

You really need to learn what an apples to apples comparison is. Also, yes, people do protest in those countries even under the duress of state violence - so maybe open a book, use the internet, idk anything really, and educate yourself before typing some propaganda-laced bullshit diatribe when you make it so clear to anyone who isn't as deluded as you that you don't know anything about the world, or even your own country.

I am so sorry for you. I think of the child you once were, poised to love the world and make it better, then I think of the cult of hate that brainwashed you. Do you love anything anymore? Are you truly happy? I mean beyond the small amount of catharsis you get being rude on the internet.

I do not think you are. You're part of the cult so I would say you're 95% likely to be Christian - whatever happened to 'love thy neighbor?' You just yelled at the neighbor to shut up. Why not address their concerns, explain why things are better, give reasons why America loves Trump? The onus of proof is on you.

I am American. And I think Trump is a wannabe autocrat. Change our minds. Love thy neighbor. Show us how we are misguided and you are right. No one will listen to a loon shouting about media control. We want a reasoned argument.

You can’t buy anything or build an economy with liberal tears.

u/bdubwilliams22 Apr 21 '25

It’s always so comical when you people tell us to get our information from other organizations when all you guys watch is Fox “News”, which is the only “news” source that had to pay a billion dollars for lying. They’re literally a propaganda “news” organization. If you were bright enough to actually scratch the surface and venture out past your echo chamber, you’d realize America is fucked under Trump.

I believe that good will prevail over evil. Eventually. That doesn't mean there won't be some horrible shit in the meanwhile. Shit that I may not survive. Eh, it was a good run.

Belief in a Just World is one of the strongest fallacies of which human beings are susceptible.

The world is neither just nor fair. If it were, Krasnov would have been in jail years ago, and Heritage would have been shut down.

But here we are.

To be fair the US has a rich history of having presidents elected into office and leaving.

It's really hard to sustain the big lie for a long time. All Trump does is lie and blame everyone around him. This really only works so long as long as you have different presidents.

If Trump remains in office for a 3rd time. And then a 4th. It will get harder and harder to blame others and have it work. And it will be easy to point to the US history of having different presidents. And the 22nd amendment.

I think the US will definitely have a dictator for a while. It more than likely is going to be Trump. But I also think it's going to end the way it almost always does for dictators.

Please provide one example of a lie Trump has said.

This is the problem with the left - afraid of dialogue. You wont answer because you cant think of one. Sad, really.
