[Politics] Donald Trump, US President

BiffyBoy100 said:

I agree with everything you say, but would push back slightly on the “decades” when it comes to the Democrats. Obama was a genuinely strong and charismatic leader, and I think Biden could have been great had he got a chance much earlier (say 2008)

You're right absolutely right though. How was there no strong successor in place in more recent years? - Everyone knew Trump would be back.

I’ve posted on the Ukraine thread but it fits here;

I think this will be the undoing of Trump.

Clinton wasn't a bad candidate and would have been a good president. She lost to obama but served alongside him.

Sanders was a risk, a sound politician but like Tony Benn a great orator but maybe not a great consensus politician.

You are right re Biden being 4 years too late. If harris had known 2 years earlier that Biden wouldn't have stood she would have been better prepared and framed a different position than she had to stand on.

Buttigieg would be great as would be Shapiro but the former being gay will stand against him as did being a woman against harris and clinton

It's also so dangerous as there's Orban in Hungary that Trump will be further emboldening, as well as a host of far right parties across Europe absolutely loving his rhetoric, including the AfD in Germany, with elections upcoming too

Great to hear Starmer has phoned Zelensky and backed his position. If/when Starmer goes to Washington he MUST tell Trump how it is. If they do a joint press conference and Trump riffs some more ludicrous crap, Starmer MUST call it out for the bullshit it is.

He has to stand there, next to Trump, and say " Russia started this, Russia commited War Crimes, Americans died and are buried in Europe for standing against tyranny and that is what we face today from Russia. " ..as a barrister, rip Trump to shreds on live TV, tell Americans the truth and dismantle their President's lies. Don't be a lap dog , speak truth to power, we can't ignore lies anymore.

Trump is a petulant child who will never accept receiving home truths - just look at his utterly insane reaction to Zelensky calling it as it is, that Trump is "trapped in a Russian disinformation bubble". Much as there would be some satisfaction to see Starmer shred Trump on live TV, all it would achieve is Trump doubling-down on his lunacy.

GB is not a big player in all this. Starmer can make the right noises, but sadly it will have zero influence on the Orange Shitler, as I saw him referred to on here earlier. He'll literally do whatever the f*ck he wants.

As for referring to the Americans who fought and died and are buried in Europe for standing against tyranny - Trump referred to them as "losers". He's not the full ticket.

As devastating as this will be for you, I assumed the well played was for Trump rather than you.

Yes, the c**t won't change his mind, neither will most of the sheep following him, but every little chink helps. Go Starmer - embarrass the c**t on national TV live if you get the chance!

I think it's down on last week. You did manage one post though 'The fooking Guardian. Give me a break'. Seven works, correct spelling, sanitised swear word. Impressive.

Bit of a half time distraction from the adverts. So cheers.

Fair post. Anyone who finds it a funny post would come across to me as a bit of a troll tbh, but then they did.
Maybe I'm just missing the humour.

if Harris had been a more competent politican with some foresight, she'd have seen Biden was coming up short, prepared and built a base. the VP is expected to be a President in waiting, from very early on people in the party said they'd made an error.
