From "This never would have happened if I was president and I will have the war over by my inauguration" to begging online for Vlad to stop, three months into his presidency.

It's insane how the title of basically every one of these EO's is the exact opposite of what they're actually doing. It's like some kind of test to see how stupid people are. The answer is very stupid.

The general problem with bullies. Once the bullying and bravado stop working the bag is pretty much empty. 

10,000X this.  I can't tell you how many times I've told a client up against a "big bully" opposing party that their only task at this point was to just stand their ground.  Let the gorilla charge, beat his chest, and kick up dust.  We'll spend some time and money dealing with the mess, but all you have to do is stand your ground and not back down.  Because once the other side has run through the full repertoire of chest beating and such....they don't have anything substantive left.  And they rarely have a Plan B.  And that's when we go on the offensive.  And that's when the other side caves.

I'm not exactly a genius advisor in this respect.  Anyone who has done the slightest bit of homework on the subject matter knows this play.

If that was all there was to it, the dotard wouldn’t be President today. Try again. 

I said I wasn't a genius.

I didn't say that the world isn't full of an oversupply of cowardly fools.

Democrats need to get fucking mean and mercilessly taunt the hell out of Trump for this. Tweeting “Piper, nooooo” at Putin to get him to stop is the weakest, emperor-has-no-clothes shit imaginable.

Again, one of the best indicators the media isn't "left wing" or "liberal" is how this will not be tweeted and acted out 1000 times a day for the rest of his presidency.

like pretty much every boy born in the 80’s, i grew up playing with gi joes, and thinking that all of these suited-and-booted special forces looking guys on my tv were so badass. now every time i see someone who looks like this:

IMG_0402.thumb.jpeg.b592ac42743c548bc5c1de04cb1997ce.jpeg

all i see is a scared little piece of shit pussy who’s LARPing as a hero while carrying out the most vile and cowardly work imaginable. the more tactical gear you have on, the more giant of a pussy i assume you are. fucking losers.

not that it matters, but pretty sure that's a woman, considering the long hair sticking out. if so, kinda makes it worse in my mind. I expect men to be vile pieces of shit. really makes one wonder if they are truly FBI as well. is that really official gear? I've never seen FBI shit that wasn't dark blue and white. it's WAY more suspect when it's the color of the proud boys logo

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

I am no legal scholar but I am having a hard time seeing anything referencing consecutive terms in there.

I know, that's the point. The running theory is that they will simultaneously allow a third term, but only to anyone that hasn't already served two consecutive terms. so Biden could run again and serve two more terms, according to their rules. *shudders*

It is so demoralizing that the few times a politician is so crooked they even get busted in this corrupt country, Trump swoops in and pardons them for no reason except seemingly to earn corrupt favors.

Too much money in having Trump around as a fundraising tool for the Dems to do anything to stop him

Yeah well I venture to guess that fundraising strategy didn't work out very well.

Besides the Dems might not have stopped him, but the voters didn't have to vote for him.

No it worked as intended- the consultants to the Dems made millions.

The US “media” is owned by mega corps and oligarchs who look to benefit the most from Trumps bullshit. There may be a few small town papers that are “left wing” but pretty much everything else is compromised.

America has had issues with the owners of news media for forever and a day. William Randolph Hearst, a partisan hack of the worst kind in his day, was busy using Hearst owned papers to piss on anything FDR did as president during WWII as well as before hostilities broke out with Japan. We had him at one point knowingly trying to float the idea of national “hero” Dugout Douglas MacArthur to be the Republican nominee in 1944. We’re trying to beat down two separate fascist powers in two vastly different areas of the world and the richest newspaper guy of that time was busy trying to get FDR out of office. 
 

If you can actively try to undermine a president that guided America through the Great Depression and three years of war at that point then nothing is sacred with these scumbags. Just a new generation trying to see how much influence they can peddle in DC while lining their bank accounts.

That was the point.  Our corporate media continues to fall for Trumps bullshit and play his games.  They never question it and they don't really follow up with real commentary.  Why was Zelensky the only person not in a suit chastised?  Why did you claim to be able to solve the war in one day and now, 100 days later you have failed to live up to this promise.  How is your economic plan going to lower prices/inflation when it is doing the opposite?  Or did you just mean prices on the stock market and valuations of our economic interests?   How as stakeholders are we going to benefit from this?  How are you going to reign in the growing wealth inequality gap and government corruption where politicians are profiting from their positions and selling influence?

Goddamn, this interview in Time.     Not gonna post the entire thing here, but he's....living in an alternate world.

https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/

 

Quote

President Donald Trump sat down for an interview with TIME at the White House on April 22.

Over the course of the interview, Trump discussed a wide range of issues, including his trade war and the economy, immigration, presidential power, and the situations in Ukraine and the Middle East.

Below is a lightly edited transcript of the interview conducted by TIME Senior Political Correspondent Eric Cortellessa and Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs. Click here to read our fact check.

 

 

Quote

TIME: Obviously, a lot has happened. We want to have a conversation about what your first 100 days have looked like in office. And we want to try to touch on as many different points as we can.

Trump: There’s a lot, right? A lot of things happening.

 

 

 

Quote

We’d love to come back to immigration but maybe start with the economy. Obviously an issue you campaigned on as well. You promised that you would immediately bring down prices and usher in a golden age of America. The prices of gas and eggs have gone down, but the cost of other things remain—

The prices of groceries have gone down. The only price that hasn't gone down is the price of energy. The cost of energy, I'm sorry, well, energy has gone down, excuse me. Let me change that—is the interest rates. And interest rates have essentially stayed the same. But almost every other thing, I mean, you take a look at what's going on, and this is, we're taking in billions of dollars of tariffs, by the way. And just to go back to the past, I took in hundreds of billions of dollars of tariffs from China, and then when COVID came, I couldn't institute the full program, but I took in hundreds of billions, and we had no inflation. 

 

 

NIH is the world’s largest funder of cancer research—

Shouldn’t they be asking those questions? I could give you a list of abuse and waste and fraud, and you don't have any interest in hearing it. I mean, I just see by these questions, just wondering, with all of the bad things that have happened, with all of the things we found, you have no interest in those things. You only have an interest. So what about this? What about that? Our country is going to be strong again because of what we're doing, and this is not a sustainable model, what we're looking at. And I think very importantly, I had a great election. Won all seven swing states, won millions and millions of votes. Won millions of votes. They say it was the most consequential election in 129 years. I don't know if that's right, but it was certainly a big win, and that's despite cheating that took place, by the way, because there was plenty of cheating that took place.

This and the CFPB.  Could there be any more blatant signal that Trump and his government do not give one single solitary fuck about consumers?
