President Trump

Its obvious that it doesnt serve much purpose to react in a fashion of "omg thats so stupid" just to leave it at that. There is an ulterior agenda to all this imho that we should rather focus on.

There is more to the "Trump campaign" than just Trump imho, one can say that in modern times the science of social psychology is more utilized for private purposes to manipulate society rather than it would serve public health and mental well being. There are teams of spinners raised from such sectors like marketing hired by politicians who contemplate much of their media strategy and who likely guide Trump according to his aims, they might just as well be ok with this bombardment of nonsense as a way to numb down norms. Granted i believe Trump also makes rash impulsive decisions, there is probably some leeway as to what his inner circle is ok with and what they will go with.

What is the aim of all the backers of Trump? Laying down an capitalist dictatorship that has an expansionist bend?
Like to what extend can you joke about Trumps claims towards Panama, Greenland and Canada? Its all a joke until it isnt, meanwhile Trump is "popularizing" those ideas. If it were a matter of feeling out the base, it seems the Trump supporters would already be on board for Panama as a starter since "it really should belong to them".

On the whole the best we can hope is that his dumb actions cost him support and come to haunt him, with a significant part of the MAGA fanbase being so keen on swallowing crap whole there aint always much point to decrying those dumb actions and statements of him that have few actual consequence. The big consequences currently seem t be on the diplomatic level and bode ill for unity in the western world and global stability. And i have to say its surprising too how utterly inconsiderate Trump and his cronies are of the past US-UK relations, I bet you guys gotto love being arbitrarily put on the tariffs list too as if "nothing else matters" while "certain others" get a pass or even a carté blanche. I think it would be a bad move for the US to loose the UK as a willing ally but with how past adventurism has been controversial it would be hard now to justify another one of these to the British public i imagine if Trump was asking.

Hurts my brain knowing this guy is the leader of the free world. He has the mentality of a six year old.

Every country in the world now knows how to deal with him and by the end of his tenure most countries will be doing well relative to, and at the expense of, the US. It can already be seen in the stock markets where most indices have more or less recovered to their pre “Tariff liberation day” levels with the notable exception of the US ones.

It will end up like the EU weaning itself off Russian gas, once we become less reliant on the USA the less relevant they will become, it’s took them 80 years to get to the top I reckon in less than 8 no one will care about them as they used to, we won’t need to seek their permission for fuck all and hopefully we won’t be following into any stupid wars in the future, they can take China on themselves.

It’s a bombarding technique to distract away from sinister policies, post pictures of him as Pope, talk about tarrifing movies etc , meanwhile Israel approve plans to seize all of Gaza.

Though the DH films are all SF — and the final shoot out of the first one takes place at an old quarry five minutes from my house (which is now a shopping mall) — I much prefer his westerns — especially the Dollars trilogy, Unforgiven and the quite underrated Hang ‘Em High. I should say I also like Escape From Alcatraz, but I like anything with Fred Ward in it. “Fuckin’ a, Bubba.”

'2 Mules for Sister Sara' is one of my favourites. Shirley McLaine was absolutely perfect in the role of Sara.
 
All this shit is pure Lynton Crosby style dead cat distraction. There’s no way Trump who’s only interest is grift, golf and what’s left of his sex drive, is sat in the White House or Florida dreaming this shit up. He’s being manipulated by darker agencies like the Heritage Foundation and big oil. He can’t operate in a vacuum.

You don’t give huge ‘donations’ to somebody and get nothing in return. He’s in hock to his ultra rich benefactors, he’s now sucking the devils cock.

We witnessed what G.B. meant to the U.S. during the Bush/Blair years.
Bush didn't know who Blair was, but Blair was more than happy to be Bush's lapdog, seeing him as some kind of demi-god.

Best line from Dirty Harry was when the mayor asked him how he knew someone was intending to commit rape:
“When a naked man is chasing a woman through a dark alley with a butcher knife and a hard on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.”

It doesn't help that he can't understand he is being manipulated.
However, he has the personality (?) to promote a stupid idea in such a way that it gains traction with his moronic supporters and the rest of the Republican party can't oppose the plans publicly because they know how well he is viewed by the hard of thinking. - A bit like our clown Johnson was.
