[Politics] Donald Trump, US President

[BadFish]

Nope, he now wants to take back the Panama Canal.

Peacefully unifying the Panama Canal with America?

This is so confusing

and he is going to 'expand our territory"

Peaceful unity right there.

I can’t believe this isn’t being covered more.

Would anyone supporting this administration like to defend it? The video is shocking.

Someone should make a new thread about that specifically with the gifs of him doing it both times. I would but I can’t be arsed. That’s political apathy for you I suppose

I had to take my Tesla back the other day. The wheel was all wrong, it kept steering to the reich.

Looked lliked a nazi salute tbh which is pretty much unforgivable trump would have not gone that far, he will need to exprain this

 

[jcdenton08]

Lots of speculation on social media that he is under the influence of drugs (Musk)

 

[BadFish]

Can we fact-check that fascism has been defeated?

He should have mentioned that to Elon.

"I'm gonna say we defeated fascism Elon, could you keep the nazi salutes to a minimum?"

What is anyone going to do about it?

Musk is the richest man in the World and one of the most powerful men behind the Trump throne - Trump has long been associated with white supremacists and both Trump and Musk have proved time and time again that they are above the law.

Neo-nazis are loving this shlt

He's just withdrawn from the Paris Climate Treaty, saying it is because China pollutes more, and after a few days, that pollution is over America's skies

RIP the World.

What speech are you watching?

 

[BadFish]

I can't think why they don't like the fact checkers

 

[dsr-burnley]

I was meaning the republican party as a whole although it wouldn't surprise anyone if he did change the constitution.

If the Democrats agreed to change the Constitution to let Trump stand again, I promise you that a lot of people would be surprised.

What speech are you watching?

It is probably a rerun/recording news clip

Entirely predictable sadly.

The only saving grace is that so much of the energy and auto business globally now revolves around a non-fossilised fuel industry where electric, solar and wind sources are fully integrated into the mainstream economy - hopefully the long term impact is minimal but the immediate impact of Trump’s Climate policies (which also include removing logging bans in national forests and in particular, drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Nature Reserve) will be devastating.

Trump signs order to withdraw US from Paris climate agreement for second time

On first day back as president, Trump signs letter giving notice to UN of US exit from treaty seeking to curb climate crisis effects

December 20, 2017​

“In a 180-degree reversal from the Obama administration’s proposed protections for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the Trump administration puts forward a $1.5 trillion tax bill that would, for the first time ever, open the area to oil and gas drilling … it passed with full Republican support and set in motion the most critical threat to the refuge yet.”. Subsequently parts of the ANWR were released for sale to oil prospectors.

Biden called an immediate moratorium on sale of land in ANWR on his first day in Office but like Trump‘s other first term commitments, it will be overturned again by power of the Executive

The Long, Long Battle for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

For decades, politicians have vacillated between protecting Alaska’s refuge as one of the last unspoiled places on earth and plundering it for oil.

Withdrawing from the World Health Organization. What could possibly go wrong?!

We're f***ed aren't we.

Dear Rest of the World, I'm English but live in the U.S. I've been listening to the 'highlights' of Trump's inauguration speech, and now his remarks before his executive orders. I wish I could have done more to stop this lunatic taking office. I tried, but the majority of people here are clearly crazy. I'm sorry.

Ditto, except the English part.

Enjoy living in conservative USA for the next decade. Wear that Maga hat with pride.

Not enough to have the confidence to enter in to a debate about anything.

Exactly my thoughts. Just laughing emojis on posts. Very clever
