The Official President Trump Thread - Second Term Edition

Trump's way underwater on every major issue. Yet we all know there is no way he will alter course on any of those, in part because his ego and narcissism does not allow him to be wrong on anything, much less fail because of his actions. Worse, we know that the Republican Congress will not do a damn thing about any of those issues either, except to try and gaslight us that things are going well and the President is a genius who acts decisively. This your democracy, broken and failing.

Instead of addressing these issues, the Republican party's most urgent action has been to manufacture a path to victory through voter restriction and partisan redistricting.

 

There is a natural free-flowing ebb and tide to the collective political view of America. What they are doing is like plugging the release valve on a steam boiler - when pressure builds enough the steam valve is supposed to pop open and pressure evacuates to prevent the boiler from exploding.

In the pressure vessel that is America, the Republicans are plugging that release valve to try and circumvent nature. But that pressure vessel still exists and will still be under escalating pressure. All they are going to do ia create a bunch more people with pretty extreme leftist views as a counter.

This is what you see in the 19th century, when the end of the first gilded age led to a HUGE swing to the left, and all sorts of socialists, communists and anarchists gaining popular power all over the world.

I'm pretty damn sure the right is not going to be happy AT ALL with the follow-on effects coming 10 to 20 years down the line from their fixing, but it's going to 100% be a result of their unwillingness to let the pendulum swing freely like it's been designed to do.

This is a desperation short-term move that will come with severely negative long term consequences for the views of the people behind it.

If you try and **** with the normal natual cyclical nature of everything that exists, there's always a cost for that hubris. If I live long enough to laugh when this slingshots back on them, I will laugh heartily and fully without the slightest sympathy at what the big brains of the Republican party will have wrought with their own hands. The bill ALWAYS comes due eventually. Hopefuly the entire country doesn't undergo explosively disassembly as a result.

 

Grandpa Pudding Brains insists test was difficult, struggles to keep details straight

Real, stable genius Donald Trump is again touting his cognitive test results, this time describing a question involving a lion, a bear, an alligator, and a squirrel. The problem is this example that differs from the versions he offered just days earlier.

The test may be standardized, but the retelling seems to come in multiple editions. Regardless, this is not the win he thinks it is.​

 

I gotta say, the GOP is really doing everything possible to turn voters off before the midterms. Incredible work by a political movement that only understands throwing its own **** against the wall and making everyone else smell it.

 

Since he likes putting his name on everything, why hasn't he renamed the Republican Party?

 

Trump riffs about mass slaughter to audience of kids

Totally normal.

Grievance-ridden Trump 'loathes' voters for whining about their problems: report

 

I do not see any daylight between Trump and the Rs in general. The Ds would be smart in 2026 and afterwards to campaign via conflating the Trump and the Rs. Claim that the Rs raised gas prices, that the Rs wipe their ass with our Constitution, that the Rs want to raise prices on everyday goods, that the Rs want to grab women by their p*****s when no one is looking, etc.


Trump advisers 'increasingly worried' GOP will pay the price for his failures: WSJ

U.S. President Donald Trump's approval ratings, in numerous polls, were weak even before he went to war against Iran in late February. But the war is making him even more unpopular in polls. A Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll released in early May found Trump's overall approval at 37 percent, although his numbers were lower than that on inflation (27 percent), the cost of living (23 percent) and the economy (34 percent).

According to Wall Street journal reporters Brian Schwartz and Alison Sider, Trump's advisers are growing "increasingly worried" about his unpopularity and fear that Republicans will suffer for it in the 2026 midterms.

Schwartz and Sider, in an article published online on Wednesday night, May 6 and in WSJ's print edition the next day, report that former New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, a Republican, "sounded the alarm" about "high jet-fuel prices" during a recent meeting with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Sununu, who heads the airline industry group Airlines for America, warned that the economic impact of the Iran war could be a major political liability for Republicans.

"Administration officials have gotten the message," according to the WSJ reporters. "Privately, President Trump's advisers are increasingly worried that Republicans will pay a political price for the rising fuel costs, according to people familiar with the matter. Many of those advisers are eager to end the war in hopes that prices will begin moderating before November's midterm elections. The fallout from the U.S.-Israeli attack in late February has slowed traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane, triggering a sharp increase in oil, gasoline and jet-fuel prices. That means consumers are grappling with high costs ahead of the summer travel season, as they consider vacation plans."

According to a recent NPR/PBS/Marist poll, 63 percent of Americans blame Trump, to varying degrees, for higher gas prices.

"Jet-fuel prices roughly doubled in a matter of weeks after the war began, and they have remained high," Schwartz and Sider note. "Airlines have said that will add billions of dollars of additional expenses this year, squeezing profit margins…. Carriers have been raising ticket prices, hoping to pass the cost along to consumers, and they are culling flights that will no longer make money at higher price levels. In March, the price of a U.S. domestic round-trip economy ticket rose 21 percent from a year earlier to $570, according to Airlines Reporting Corp., which tracks travel-agency sales."
