American Politics: Turnabout Trump

[Adamede]

God help us.

I bet trump's getting assassinated

Its entirely a possibility, but imho his health is pretty crap and if he dies it'll more likely be to natural cuases.

[The Black Forrest]

Anyone think DJT will put Robert Kennedy in charge of the FDA

Normal people? That would be a fuck no!

WHAT THE FRICK IS A KILOMETER.

[Saiwana]

Is there enough data out there yet that examines how each of the campaigns spent their money?
Kamala Harris' was something like $1 billion raise and ended at $20 million in debt. Donald Trump's was half that amount raised and finished on budget.

I want to find an itemized list of where the money went for each camp. The rumors are that Kamala Harris' campaign was one of the worst run in history. The top liberals who say it was "flawless" are in denial and perhaps will be rebuked in the coming month or by next year.

[Rusozak]

I for one look forward to seeing Trump weaponize the Federal Government against Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter when Elon inevitably loses favor for looking at him funny or something.

And risk all that backlash???

Not going to happen buddy boy.

What backlash? Americans elected a convicted felon rapist. You can't stoop lower. Trump can literally punch a baby and become more popular. That's just how sick the social consciousness is right now. You think anyone would actually back Elon over him?

[Comrade McCarthy]

The Communist Party should've won. The election was stolen.

[Dimetrodon Empire]

I suspect they do have plans to try to bypass that.

Though at that point (if successful), Trump would probably get new terms no matter what, with elections becoming shams.

The only way they can "bypass" it is if they remove the amendment.

Well, Trump failing to put his businesses in a blind Trust during his first term violated the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.

Courts have even ruled as such but nothing ever came of it.

The Constitution never stopped him before.

And this would probably be one of the largest and most frank violations of the Constitution in modern American history. I just dont see it happening. Him just declaring himself dictator and declaring martial law and dissolving congress is frankly more likely.

There may actually be ways around it after all: https://cornerstonelaw.us/22nd-amendmen ... hink-says/

But yeah, I agree with your latter sentence.

What's stopping him? He has control of all 3 branches of government AND the agencies that will enforce the rulings. The Constitution wasn't made the protect against a single person having that much power. The founders never thought a major party would willingly sign away their freedom to a dictator.

You can also be president more than twice without violating the 22nd Amendment: https://cornerstonelaw.us/22nd-amendmen ... hink-says/

It bars being "elected" president more than twice, not any of the other avenues one might find themselves in that office.

The courts arent entirely under his control, and I dont think the GOP is blindly loyal to him so much as theyre a bunch of grifters after their own success, but who would till consider that going to far. The Dems are also still a very relevant political force in this country and wouldn't let that happen without a fight. And most of all I actually dont expect many of the enforcement agencies and especially not the military to go along with something like that.

That and it would start a civil war. We're not at 1933 yet, and even if we were this isn't Weimar Germany either. But hey maybe I'm wrong, Im nowhere near as smart as I like to think I am and hey, my faith in my fellow country men is at an all time low.

[Dimetrodon Empire]

We're not at 1933 yet

I don't think we are either, but rather, the barrier between our current state and that is much weaker than people like to think.

[Ifreann]

Christ, I hope not.

The good thing is that Trump is blindly transactional, so I wouldn't be surprised if he drops RFK from his circle in the next few weeks or months. But we'll see.

I live not far from the Bronx River in lower Westchester, RFK has done an amazing job for the environment here. I understand he comes off as a loon sometimes, but he actually does good things that really help people.

Eighty three people died in a measles outbreak in Samoa when he convinced the government to end their vaccination program.

[Almighty Biden]

Any ideas where he'll put vivek?

In the janitors closet.

I don't think he is a fan of pasteurized milk either.

Please no.

Please no.

If those who try to assassinate him are just as incompetent as the last two who tried to do it, I think he is pretty safe.

Especially with the Secret Service on alert now.

I think the thing is, Trump will do everything in his power to ensure that when and if he steps down he won't be subject to the large array of legal cases he remains subject to.

Let's remember, Russia still has elections, Putin stepped down after his first two terms and stuck Medvedev in before going 'fuck this, I want ALL the power'.

And he did it by getting the oligarchs on his side, thereby owning the media and the economy while holding them on a string if they ever dared to go against him. Then you just need to prosecute anyone who speaks against you while controlling the narrative as to who they are. The first institution Trump will clean out and replace with people who will do his bidding is the DOJ.

It's not to say that Trump has to be some evil genocidal maniac, just enough to say his priority is to protect himself, and that by itself leads to actions that protect him through screwing the system enough that he never loses, or he has puppets in place, that he is immune from punishment.

[Almighty Biden]

I swear that guy has invincible plot armor or something.

lol here we go again. For those who believe it. Majority leftist, liberal, democrat, progressive and real leftists as Therm calls them, Political Forum sites like NS will continue to exist in the USA. President Trump will not declare himself dictator of the USA and be dictator of the USA. President Trump is not a Fascist Nazi. President Trump is not Benito Mussolini the second. President Trump is not Adolf Hitler the second. President Trump will not declare The USA The Fourth Reich. I am not a Fascist Nazi. We Republicans are not Fascist Nazis, we are Republicans. This is how ridiculous these charges against President Trump are to believe, from the Anti Trump, Leftist Fake News Media. Bide, Kamala Harris and many leftist Democrat VIPs on the Anti Trump, Leftist Fake News Media. They have you guys Paranoid. But they believe it too. This is even worse.
