Re: Trump Presidency

Post by matthewfarmery »

Seems from one YT channel, Trump is preparing to fire a lot of people, Pam Bondi is in the firing line, along with other top officials. So far, nothing has been made official, as been confirmed by another news outlet? not sure. But writing wise, its pretty much a go ahead. So, we are seeing more top officials been removed and replaced. Also remember in his first term, the WH had a revolving door. Basically, one official per month x Y

What is more, Trump has been firing or people forced to quit, is staggering. This is the exact playbook of Hitler. When he tried to take over, but people started to go against him. And according to reports, he took his own life. (not sure if his body was formally identified? ) have to look that up. As he was in that Bunker with some of his top picks and Berlin fell.

I don't know if Trump will do that, but considering that Trump can't trust those that he hand-picked. And also he always defend his hand-picks. So in his mind, they are losers. Sp as he helped hand picked them. equals weakness. And Trump never wants to be second best.

To me, this will only crack his mind farther. So now, we are dealing with someone who is getting intel for an unqualified person, to a totally mentally unfit person.

So, this is way past the time to have him removed, and I think this is now why he is firing people, before that 25th amendment gets kicked in his face.

So Trump is getting secret intel talks, on who can be fired. So, this is one regime followed by another puppet regime. and Trump still thinks he is pulling the strings. He won't be. He will remain in power, until America topples. And guess who will love to see that happen? and why this has been allowed to happen? So this firing is pretty much official, so she has been told, she going. So replaced by another hand-picked idiot and see the scheme?

Edit, playing catch up, Pam Bondi has been fired, but still Trump tried to say she is a loyal friend. :lol:

Edit, she going to have to expose everything, but as she knows everything, I suspect she wil likely get paid off and made to disappear. And this woman was given a hand made script to defend Trump. And went hell and high fury to defend Trump in senate hears. YES that B!!!
Well, I hope the senate gets her, before Trump makes her disappear

So, she has a lot to answer for. So TRump will make her shut up. As she is the one that knows EXACTLY where the bodies are buried.

Edit

Remember, the story I said about a judge blocking the construction about Trump's ballroom? well, guess what, Trump doing his Trump playbook as basically said, he going to ignore the order given by the Judge, that nothing is built UNTIL approved BY congress. So this hand-picked cowboy construction is pretty much say, (at least its this way to me) Trump can't read, and didn't pass this order onto the construction crew. So the National park agency has now Run back to the court and ask for confirming about the Judges order. So now this Judge is really hot and bothered. And will have to Teach this buffoon how to read. So should be interesting.

So watch this space!!!!

Slight edit, the construction crew can continue working, as long as they make the construction area safe anf off limits. But Trump thinks this is still fine, and means that Trump's cowboy builders have still been giving the green light to carry on construction of the ballroom, with the original order pretty much said, NEEDS congress approval to continue building. And to me, The WH is likely not going to be that safe, unless some kind of rebuilding of the original design. I still think, its Trump's plan to demolish the WH so he can then get a new design and get his name on it. Considering that the design (blueprint is just jumk) is totally not safe or just made up. So in that regard,, this ballroom is just a means to an end.

The White House is asking Congress to boost the US defence budget to $1.5tn (£1.1tn), a sweeping rise that would mark the largest expansion in military spending since World War Two
Well, since Defence stuff takes *years* to happen, I think it's a good indicator as to what Trump's version of the US sees as the future.

In all honestly I think it would be political suicide for them to boost military spending, especially as most American's want less American military involvement, Trumps Iran war has an 92% disapproval rating, but it's not just that he also wants to cut domestic spending at a time when America is haemorrhaging due to his actions over the past year, farming is collapsing, tourism is nearly none existent, job market is shrinking while unemployment is rising, the debt ceiling is already way over budget and with what looks like the collapse of AI investment, there will be next to no investment in America in the coming years. Not to mention they are on the cusp of the largest recession in a hundred years. I suspect if they were to go ahead with it, it would be the start to the end for America, they are already teetering on the edge as it is right now and doing this could push them over.

Personally seeing it as two fold:
1) Exit from NATO (the 40% increase is likely ~ rest of NATO defence budgets combined).
2) Expectation confrontation with China; or, strong enough that China backs down from confrontation with the US.

However, I'm sat in a chair. At a pc. With absolutely zero intimate knowledge of these things :D

To be a little more optimistic: It's certainly the end of the current America. That doesn't preclude something valuable growing in its place.

The issue however, is IF Iran can be persuaded to end the war. They have said no. The issue is, for America to be reborn, everything needs to go, the constitution, corrupt SCOTUS, the senate and congress.

The issue is, for those that feel this is a step too far, they will fight to keep the old regime, while those that want change will fight for that. Hence, which I also predict, (if we live that long) a civil war. The issue is, who will control the purse strings? the billionaires.
The issue is, they probably planned for this contingency.

Any one here remember a game called Hostile Waters narrated by Tom Bake, and some of the Blake 7 cast.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huHbTH2U1HU

The point is, the warmongers will never disappear, those that thrive on hate will never go. So even IF America tries to rebuild, how long will it last, before that old guard takes over again?

And we see another repeat. and America will be too comfy to remember its past.
"Who controls the past controls the future
: who controls the present controls the past
a defining slogan from George Orwell's novel 1984

And Kane in C&C said something similar.

Basically, this is the problem, Basically like I said in another post, America has rewritten its past. So, it will do it again. Until someone teaches America this "Those that don't remember the past is comdemed to repeat it"

First off, people are now saying that Trump is officially insane. He is issuing mass pardons for his co conspirators, as well as firing as many of his inner circle as he can. Also, there been talk of an impeachment filing. But not sure how well that is doing or not? Still, Trump is just insane now. No point in denying it.

2
Melania Trump has dragged herself and the Epstein files back into the forefront of American media/

So this B how has officially said herself in her past, that she knew Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, hand written notes and other stuff. Well, she NOW has muddied the waters even more now. Without Trump's knowledge and many of the press knowledge of what she was going to say. She stood in front of cameras and DENIED any affiliation with Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein.
Melania Trump dropped the political equivalent of a tactical nuke on Thursday when she denied any affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein, the now-dead convicted sex offender.

The first lady was likely trying to provide cover for the friendly email that came to light between her and Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. But then she took it a step further: she called on Congress to hold a public hearing with Epstein’s survivors.

That earned her the praise of Marjorie Taylor Greene, who quit Congress after a falling out with the president over the very same Epstein files
Problem is, A, too little too late, and B, she just trying to distance herself from this mess, without realising how much much she is already in over this. She might be siding against Trump, either she is finally trying to distance herself from him, or just trying to protect her and that damned son of hers. I suspect, if this gains tractions Trump will be most displeased with her.

Then again, She already the most hated first lady ever, she can't sink much lower.

That's not insanity - this is very logical and frequent in crooked power circles.
Personally, I'm looking forward for Trump to make Hegseth a sacrificial lamb for Iran - not that anyone with half a brain cell would belive it's not Trump fault/decision, but it's will be fun to watch them backstabbing eachother.


Plus, this time, his administration is so cartoonishly bad, that it make sence to try again impeach him already - We're still in April and he can f*ck up a lot of things till November.

Guess you missed the news, but many of his ex aids and WH doctor is labeling him as that. And what else would you consider a man, who wants to annihilate whole Civilization? Because things are not going according to plan. So yes, he is insane.

Nah - He did and still post a lot of unhinged sh*t on Truth Social, but in the end he TACO - if he would be actually insane, he would carry on the threat.

Probably someone with bare minimum military knowled told him they don't have enough missiles to blow up all power plants and bridges and even, if they would have them, it wouldn't break Iran will to resist.


Truth Social is basically Trump propaganda tube for his internal use - treat it like Solowiov rants in Russian-Ukraine war:
is it odd week day? We'll nuke <insert European Capital of the week>
is it even week day? We'll blow up Nuclear Power Plant <choose: in Ukraine/in Europe/ in Russia(and blame Ukraine for it)>


Trump Truths start to looks the same.
Is is a clown show? Yes.
Will it get old in a month or two? Yes.

Ignore his absurd rants at your own peril. All the crap he threatened to do during his campaign that was dismissed as rhetoric and just him "being trump", he did it all. If he has the slightest inkling that taking an extreme action, like nuking Iran, will make him look strong, he'll do it without any thought to consequence. The man is insane, he will do insane things.

Did you not read what I said, I'm not talking about his posts, but from people who have FIRST HAND experience of him. The same people who have been trying to cover up his dementia, his mental issues and nore. Even the WH is starting to admit, he isn't well. And why Trump is firing people, left and right, to replace them with sheep.

Night and day difference, from his posts, then people who know him first hand.

Trump going insane, is now pretty much official.

https://democrats-judiciary.house.gov/s ... ndment.pdf

yet, if a president has gone this insane, why isn't he automatically evicted from office? and why he is still a threat? Come on America, time to wake up and realise the man you voted for has lost his marbles. And those that voted for him, and DEFENDED him, better start to realise that thier vote was wasted. Especvailly when there was a BETTER alternative available.

This and everything else, concerning Trump will be a huge embarrassment. Then America will finally realise that their so called democracy was DOA

That letter demands answers in a timely fashion, Trump will fail. (unless there is a major coverup still. And the Doctor NEEDS to be independent, and can't be bullied, and the results made public) And that is something that he has tried to cover up even since he got into office the first time. ) The real issue is, what will Trump do to defend himself, if he feels that his power is slipping away from him? HE WILL do whatever he takes to cling onto power. And those that still defend him, better answer for their own crimes, and coverup.

Yet again, this kind of thing should have been foreseen, yet wasn't. And there needs better safeguards. IF America wants to survive, or if they just want to go down all all hands. High time every American starts to realise, that Trump is UNFIT for office. and something that I have been saying for a LONG TIME!

You know it was the end when Trump sent Vance to show American support for Orban, it was the final nail in his political coffin.
