Trump

[vietnammer]

Yep. Geographically it should be Canadian

Well they're having nunavut

[wolf359]

Greenland, Iceland and Ireland im thinking, in that order

Sounds like the other teams in a Euro champs group that England would struggle to get out off.

The normalcy bias from the media is infuriating to me. Twenty years ago, this behaviour from a US president would be splashed over the front pages all over the world.

I get the feeling most Americans secretly (or publicly) are broadly in favour with Trumps imperialism, and like seeing the USA bullying Canada, threatening to annex Greenland, embarrassing Zelensky in public, being rude to "Europe" and generally doing whatever they want.

Otherwise there'd be more public outrage and general condemnation of his policies outside of the usual political circles. Look at the reaction from the general public to these things in Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, Poland etc. Even in Britain.

Americans? They seem happy enough with it all so long as the cost of everything they buy day to day doesn't go up.

Just because you dont see it on the news it doesnt mean there isn't outrage over there in regards to Trump, the rat that is Vance and the nutter that is Elon and everything they are doing...

Plenty of outrage

Elon Musk's electric carmaker Tesla has warned it and other US exporters could be harmed by countries retaliating to Donald Trump's trade tariffs.

Looks like American businesses aren't too happy with the repercussions of Trumps tariff war.

[Bend it like Repka]

Long may it continue. Hope the US spirals into a full blown recession and while his deluded followers will still blame diversity or immigrants, the masses have to take to the streets.

The Dems are reliant on Trump ****ing it up during his tenure.

He is a buffoon, but if Project 2025 doesn't come to relative fruition and everything for the average person hasn't gone to ****, then the months of campaigning about how the world was going to end under him would backfire 'bigly'.

[WHU Independent]

I was litsening to radio 4 in the car with my dad (who thinks Trump is "reasonable") when they did their fact check program.

Every Trump statment he made in his latest discussion was disproved as a lie. And they provided evidence to back it up. No Biden didn't spend $40 mill on transgender mice. No, America is dependent on Canadian leccy. etc etc etc.

Dad: "MMM this Trump bloke lies alot doesn't he?"

Macron: Stop buying American, buy European

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron wants to lead a charm offensive to convince EU countries to stop buying U.S. defense equipment and buy French and European instead.

Macron, who has been calling for years to direct defense spending toward EU products, said he wants to convince other European countries that are currently "buying American" to shift to local options.

"My intention is to go and convince European states that have become accustomed to buying American," he said on Saturday in an interview with several French media including Nice-Matin and Le Parisien.

"Those who buy Patriot should be offered the new-generation Franco-Italian SAMP/T. Those who buy the F-35, should be offered the Rafale. That's the way to increase the rate of production," he said.

11 bankruptcies apparently, including a casino.

How the **** do you go bankrupt as a bookie?

4 bankruptcies, each of which was a chapter 11 filing.

Stop making me defend Trump!

Brief refresher.

[ironsonthebrain]

Sooner or later Americans ( whether they voted for Trump or not) are going to realise that being governed by a combination of an entitled, deluded, convicted felon, his tech bro mate, and a cast of miscellaneous greedy, rich , fruitcakes and Christian fundamentalists isn’t going to work.

So I suggest a campaign they can all get behind- MASA - Make America Sane Again!

Night all.

He's now declaring Biden's pardons "void" because he'd used an auto pen to sign them.

Now watch him go after those who he blames for a witch hunt all after letting those who tried to over throw Capitol Hill free.

What a pathetic spiteful petty man.

He's an eejit. Ultimate social experiment of what happens when you give a scumbag 100's of millions.
He & Trump have a lot in common, well, they've both got civil rape convictions...

[dasnutnock3]

Conor was at the White House? Good God, couldn’t they find a less appalling tw*t to represent Ireland? He’s been a coked up sex pest for years now.

[Bend it like Repka]

sex pest for years now.

Fit in nicely in the white house then..........

[dasnutnock3]

Yes I did rather ponder that as I hit Submit. We really are living in very weird times.

So Donald Trump has rounded up immigrants, accused them all of being in violent gangs (without using due process to verify whether the people he has rounded up are actually in those gangs) and has sent them to El Salvador to work in prison camps.

There is a documentary out there on this exact jail and WOW it is brutal. 80-100 people per jail cell, lights on 24/7 , metal beds that I think where 3-4 stacked high. so climbing up to a free bunk is a thing. It is extreme to say the least.

Also the guards wear these mask all the time I believe in the jail so they can not be recognized on the streets. Not that it matters, most people that go to this jail will die there and they have little to no communication with the outside world.
