Ah sorry. Basically ex-staffer from first term predicting that the chaos will intensify in his last two years even if he loses both houses and that he’ll have Vance and others on a string by trying to amend the constitution. He’s quite prepared to use serious violence to subvert democracy, hence the attempted but blocked 6 Jan ‘compensation fund’.

Doesn’t sound overly plausible but state of that country who knows

Donald Trump has rushed to cancel his lawsuit against the BBC because the BBC has started investigating his businesses finances as part of discovery.

Genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever heard, and I hope the BBC continues it's investigation.

A Federal Court has again blocked above ground construction on Donnie's Big Beautiful Ballroom until Congressional approval has been granted. It looks like the Supreme Court are going to have to rule on him again.

Reaction is priceless. The no-cost to taxpayers turns out to be $1bn of taxpayer costs in reality (something Trump and MAGA avoid).

The Judge in Trump v the BBC is also adjudicating a second case involving Donnie, in which Trump and his family are suing Capital One and other banks for closing their business accounts. The banks claim they did this because the transactions from Trump et al triggered their anti money laundering policies.

In most governments, at least not banana republics and dictatorships, the President having loads of bank accounts closed for money laundering concerns would be quite a big story.

And now his BFF Binny has rejected Trump's "15 Point plan for Gaza".

He was always going to refuse anything mate. They'll settle it. For starters.

How pathetic is it that the White House official website has a section for "Media offenders", honest journalists who don't lap up Trump's bullshit ?

The networks and papers should joint fund a similar page for senators, congressmen/women etc with a leaderboard you can filter for bribery, sexual offences, lying, corruption and how crooked their backers are.

Some people are suggesting she has a buzzer on her tummy which she taps to wake him up. The footage sort of tallies with the theory.

It's so petty and sad from US government. If anyone watched a news conference they'd see him dozing off all the time. 

Of course the magas aren't going to watch any of them.

Ironically, this makes me very happy that he's in charge of the big red button.  I assume the process for arming nuclear bombs is a pretty long one with lots of detail.  Fortunately, it looks like he will fall asleep during this and when the fat orange cunt wakes up will either have forgotten what he was doing, or, more likely, have changed his mind.

Never felt so safe.

It’s interesting how the general consensus is that anyone who votes for Trump id a thick as fuck racist who no one can believe would vote for that cock. Same narrative as the Tory, brexit etc. ask yourself why plenty of intelligent people who run huge business vote from Trump. Ask yourself if the news you lap up to confirm your bias is real news or filtered news that you’re allowed to hear

It's not just thick racists. You can also be a greedy, self serving, arse kissing narcissist who claims any kind of public welfare system is communism, to manipulate thick racists into voting against any kind of tax or environmental policy.

"...thick as fuck...", a significant proportion certainly seem to be;"racist..",  look no further than Stephen Miller and Jeremy Carl.

Same narrative as the Tory, brexit etc. ask yourself why plenty of intelligent people who run huge business vote from Trump.

"..people who run huge businesses", easily explained - massive tax breaks for the mega rich, removal of employment and environmental protections, and "America First" trade policies.

"Intelligent people...." can at the same time be complete arseholes - Elon Musk for instance.

Not sure if you're being serious or fishing.

He's a grade a cock, pandering to mega businesses and talks a load of bull, along with the rest of his adminstration.

I simply don't want that shit coming over here, which some of of it already has.

They’ve voted for tariffs, huge petrol pump increases and their tourism economy hollowed out. Unarguable as well - 4m drop and $8bn loss https://edition.cnn.com/2026/05/25/travel/analysis-tourism-fewer-international-visitors-2025-vis

The tariffs have increased prices on the shelves, destroyed thousands of export businesses, disrupted supply chains and acted as a tax increase on both US consumers and far beyond. The reason Bezos and other kiss his arse is because it’s a shield to hike prices and Musk supports - sometimes - because the X business model depends on mobilising the base of extremists who follow Trump and other movements globally - AFD, NF, Reform, Restore. The billionaires for Trump are logical. People on welfare wages who have lost their medical cover and seen their household bills skyrocket - rather less logical but white supremacist populism is very expensive. 

Orban losing hit them fucking hard though as he was pumping a lot of corrupt funding to CPAC and similar vehicles for populism.

Impact of his, Kushner’s and Ben’s war on pump prices? Higher prices than was ever the case under Biden even at 2022 peak, $4 a gallon. And gas prices was one of the main drivers behind voting for Trump. That’s been a catastrophic fail then. Well done 👏 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/gas-prices-august-trump-iran-war-b3032157.html

I can see the news headlines and they are what they are. Let’s not even go into the 6% GDP Brexit lost.

Easy.

You've missed out the most important bit.  Trump made money (finally!), lots of it!  No more living in the shadow of his Daddy, he's a success don't you know.

Yep, can’t argue with that at all. Over $1bn made on crypto whilst most of of his Truth Social followers have lost large sums and in some cases life savings gambling on it. Similar here on a smaller scale with Harbourne and Farage.

Think others have answered but he his supported by bastards who aren’t thick but they know how to fool the gullible. The billionaires love him as most are desperate to get to be trillionaires. 
The poor sods in the US who are in minimum wage thinking he is looking out for them are the stupid people.

All of the above.

And who wants to vote for an 80 year old as your leader when their nappy needs changing? Not sure who will change it for him now, Leavitt’s infant’s stools are clearly smaller and less offensive than Donny’s.

The whole vaccines thing with RFK, I really don't know what the angle is. 

No one can go tell me to look at alternative news sources on this, if they l do, they are talking shit.

There's research papers which have been peer reviewed and established that outline and convey the benefits.

I'm not going to listen to the likes of RFK and Jenni McCarthy on vaccines.
