Trump Presidency

[matthewfarmery]

Trump is for sale, Musk has given Trump's PAC campaign some money. Now, Trump is saying, he all for EV cars. When before, he was dead set against them.

Also, there is an reopened investigation, that Egypt gave Trump $10 before the 2016 election. However, that got shutdown by Barr.

You would have thought this would be enough to remove Trump from running again? I certainly think the donation by Musk, and Trump's swing for all for EV cars is a bit fishy.

OH yes, in other news, Trump is upping the price for membership for his home. to 1M. So again, making it very much a business not a home.

He is clearly as corrupt as they come.

Out of curiosity,

Was there ever US president, who won 1st term, lost 2nd term election and then won 2nd term later on?

[Ormac]

Yes.

Grover Cleveland was president in non-consecutive terms.
The 22nd president (1885-1889)
and the 24th president (1893-1897).

Franklin D Roosevelt [32nd president] died having started a fourth term (1933-1945)

The 22nd Amendment (which limits the number of presidential terms an individual could serve to two)
was ratified in 1951.

Well, I think Trumps is swirling the drain. His latest rant is very baffling to say the least. Clearly he hasn't taken the breakup with Biden at all well. And many more are starting to question how well is Trump?

What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE. He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the U.S. Presidency, a COUP, to the people in the World he most hates, and he wants it back, NOW!!!

The guy needs to be in a mental institution fast.

Seriously, WTF? this is why the presidential race and who is fit for serving in office needs major reform. Clearly it won't happen while this mental case is still alive. But maybe once the clean-up begins and the damage of what he has done comes to light. Then and only then, hopefully there will be reform. But come November, this guy will only get worse, maybe a mental collapse.

On the slip side, Harris has chosen Tim Walz as her running mate, Something else that the mental case had another meltdown over. Both candiates seem to be doing well in the polls. and the DNC isn't far off. And that will certainly send Trump into another major meltdown.

[felter]

I would not be surprised in the least if Trump had a breakdown (mental or physical) before the election, an election he is going to lose you can see that just by looking at their respective rallies they have held in the swing states, in the exact same auditoriums, trumps rallies are flat, boring, with tons of empty seats with people leaving early, and of course they're just pure weird, while a Harris rally are more like a party, full of jovial supporters having fun, laughing, singing dancing and liking what they are hearing and there isn't even any standing room available they are more akin to a concert than a political rally.

Even the polls are not looking good for Trump, where even his support polls, you know the ones where the pollsters just talk to Trump supporters and ask if they are going to vote for Trump are not looking good for him, and it is driving him insane.

[matthewfarmery]

What is more, even some republicans are saying that they might vote for Harris. But I suspect there will be another Trump meltdown when the DNC hits. and Harris is confirmed for good. Trump's racist attacks will only hurt him in the long run. Even some of his aids and former advisers are trying to urge Trump to change course on his attacks on Harris. His days are nearing the end.

[matthewfarmery]

This is funny, only the best people. So, Vance has attacked Tim Walz over his military record. Well, it has backfired on Vance, when the truth about his own service has came out.

"You fought in Iraq?" the journalist pressed.

"I was never in a firefight myself, but I've always told the truth about my Marine Corps service," Vance acknowledged.

The New Republic pointed out that Vance's military service "wasn't exactly the boots-on-the-ground experience that he's now framing it as."

"Instead, Vance served a single four-year enlistment in the public affairs section in the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, and wrote in his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, that he was 'lucky to escape any real fighting,'" the report said.

Not what I call active service. Sure, it is an active service of sorts. But to go ahead and attack someone else;s record just isn't on. So yeah, Vance is yet another train wreck in the making. Only hires the best people.

I have stopped trying to understand Trump

His some sort of dementia is a bit too thick

Trump is for sale, Musk has given Trump's PAC campaign some money. Now, Trump is saying, he all for EV cars. When before, he was dead set against them.

Musk is circling for more tax breaks?

No Republican is onboard with Tesla unless they are coal powered

[Vertigo 7]

No, but Musk has proven to be a white nationalist and he's rich so they'll overlook his battery powered death traps because he ticks far more important boxes for them.

[felter]

The third most trending comment on Trumps (un)truth(ful) social media is, Trump is a Coward, now that's got to hurt him as he cannot get away from it or even miss it. In case you're wondering why it's being said, it's because he refuses to debate Harris, so even his most loyal supporters are starting to turn on him.

[notaterran]

Not exactly news but it's still weird to see Republicans campaigning for Democrats:

I do like there adds, this one hits the nail on the head, and another nail in Trump's coffin.

Speaking of which, Trump seems to be hanging out at his home, while leaving the heavy lifting to Vance. So looks like Bunker Boy (Bunker Baby) is scared to do much at the moment, especailly when he is so mad with the publicity and the crowd sizes that Harris and co are pulling.

OH yes, another weird thing from Trump's camp, They been sending out emails saying along the lines of, Trump loves you, (recipient by name) We will be honoured if you could help us, as We love you, and oh yes, can you donate to make us great again. (words to that effect, but you get the gist) And with 3 donate buttons in the email. and several emails after another. So while Trump is hiding at his home, Vance is doing a lot of work, but not in a good way.

Also there might be a shake up in the Trump camp, but then again, the only shake up needed is is Trump steps down. No matter the shake up, changing the campaign staff will not help. Anyway, as long as Trump is holed up, no more rallies. But I read he will be doing an interview with Musk, this coming Monday. Which I hope will get pushback. as it will no doubt be the same old Trump BS. And Musk I also hope will get some bad publicity for doing it.

edit

Forgot to mention one detail, Trump has never met these people who are getting emails, and Vance has only past them by or very briefly met. I call that desperate.

OH yes, A former military officer cleared up, Walz past, the rank that he obtained when Walz left, was master sergeant,. and he finished his duty with honour. So Vance has zero right to attack Walz military past. So Vance is wrong to question his service record. so that just fell flat. But there does seem to be some issues with Walz Biography. But still, Compared to Vance, Walz seem to be a lot better.

Edit 2

There been some confusion with his rank, but from the source that I read, Walz retired as a CSM (command sergeant Major) but, as he didn't do the paperwork to keep that rank, he was demoted, and only could claim for a lower rank for his pension. Still, that is a very high rank.

I think the end is nigh,

I just read an extract from Trump's so called press conference that he did at his home, not long ago. And it really beggars belief. His mind is gone.

Trump began a press conference at Mar-a-Lago with unexpected remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, calling her "nasty."

"He appointed her, asked her to serve as vice president," he recalled. "Well, I don't know if he's happy about that decision right now."

"The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden," he continued. "And I'm no Biden fan, but I'll tell you what, from a constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint you look at, they took the presidency away, and people were saying he lost after the debate."

His mind is in total meltdown. Still can't get over the fact that Biden stepped down. He so desperate for a rematch. But any republican worth their salt should be asking themselves, if this the man they still want in the WH? is he still fit to serve our country?

As far as I see, he is broken and bitter old man that still clinging on to the hope that Biden will give him a rematch and that Trump can defeat.

But is nearly in that drain, I still predict a full scale mental breakdown is coming.

[CBJ]

I think the end is nigh,

I'd just like to point out that you've been saying this (or at least words to this effect) for months, possibly even years.

[matthewfarmery]

Well, in Trump's case, it is. After that so called press conference, he is finished.

Now he wants 3 debates with Harris, ABC, fox, and NBC. But Harris should only stick to one. But he could still chicken out at the last minute. But what we seen is a man, who mind is going at a rapid pace. So his end is nigh.

[felter]

Not seen much of his press conference, but I have heard that some are saying it is one of his more deranged or just plain insane press conferences he has done, which is saying something when you think of his previous ones like recommending that people be injected with bleach to cure covid. Just shows you that the trending term Trump is a coward on his social media platform must have hut a nerve as he's now going ahead with the September debate, I predict Harris will chew him up and spit him out, I don't think he has much of a hope to survive that. The press are also needing to start calling him out to his face with his lies, he keeps on repeating them, and they have been fact-checked so many times that every one of them know he is telling lies, but they just sit back and accept him telling those same lies over and over again, what are they afraid of?

[matthewfarmery]

Hits the nail on the head. especailly when he blasts his own network for not fact checking Trump.

What is more, none of the networks didn't cover Harris's speech, that came later.

So yeah, nice one. Really hits it where it hurts.

[matthewfarmery]

Nice one, Harris camp has released a scathing rebuke of Trump's meltdown

Vice President Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign issued a scathing rebuke of Donald Trump's Thursday press conference — which was mostly an hourlong rant from the former president consisting of numerous jabs at his opponent and countless false claims.

USA Today White House correspondent Joey Garrison shared screenshots of a press release distributed by the Harris-Walz campaign, writing: "Harris campaign with a lengthy response to Trump’s 'very good, very normal press conference.'"

The press release reads:

Donald Trump took a break from taking a break to put on some pants and host a public meltdown. We have a lot to say about it. Here are some initial thoughts - with more to come.

He hasn't campaigned all week. He isn't going to a single swing state this week. But he sure is mad Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are getting big crowds across the battlegrounds.

The facts were hard to track and harder to find in Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago meltdown this afternoon.

He lied. He attacked the media. He made excuses for why he's off the campaign trail.


We worked to pin down reality so DonaldTrump, bless his heart, doesn't have to.Here are the facts: We had 12,000 and 15,000 people in Wisconsin and Michigan yesterday, respectively (Not 2,000.)The ABC debate is September 10th. Not the 25th.

People have spoken to bigger crowds than Donald Trump. (Obama, Clinton, literally anyone atLollapalooza, Coachella, the World Cup...) January 6th was decidedly nothing like MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech. And Trump did not get a bigger crowd than Martin Luther King Jr. on thathistoric day.

There was famously not a "peaceful transfer" of power after the 2020 election, which Donald Trump fought to overturn. (Famously.)

Five police officers died because of January 6th.

The list goes on.

That is totally epic, Nice to see her campaign on the offensive. Pity that they were the ones doing the fact checking rather the the big news media.

Harris will chew up Trump and spit him out on the stage. I hope Trump will storm off and leave Harris alone to talk about things that matter. And that will only hurt his ego even more.

Harris will be ready. Trump will babble and incoherent. Then I think Trump will be scared to do any more rallies.

[fiksal]

nice one! where was it posted first, what's the official source?

not on twitter I hope

[Alerion_V.X3]

The DIY stores will soon run out of nails, when I read the somewhat overenthusiastic comments here. Wait and see, many right-wing populist and/or Russia propaganda Troll-influenced voters, even here in Germany, actually (sadly) everywhere in the world , are not the smartest. But I hope Trump will experience his Waterloo, but I am a little worried about the time after that.

The Teladi in me: Hmm, who is the largest listed nail manufacturer, should I buy some shares quickly?
