What has Trump done now?

[Marty_d]

The sad thing is, many of those worse affected who voted him in, will still support him as their lives worsen.

If we can have a positive about trump, it would be every day that passes is closer to the end of his days. you can’t beat the reaper no matter how much money you have.

I just had a thought! 

 

If you compare the US system of government with Canada and Australia which are of similar political age as the USA, you get the feeling that the USA's is stuck with the political concepts of the late 18th Century and has not evolved to deal with the influences acting upon its people. We might think that Australia's Constitution is rigid, but we have, on occasion, been able to update it to meet the desires of the people.

 

It seems that the political evolution of the government of the USA reached an evolutionary dead-end in the early 19th Century. That is probably why emerging Nations don't want anything to do with the type of democracy that the USA espouses.

The US system of three supposedly co-equal branches intended to balance each other is really a system designed for conflict. When it gets way out of whack as it is now, it is anything but co-equal. When one of the branches is effectively one person who doesn’t want to play by the rules the system of checks and balances clearly doesn’t work very well.

Trump Just ignores the Rules whatever they might be . He's ABOVE all that. Neice Mary Trump reckons it's the way he was Brought up but I reckon it was at a Party.  Nev

It's a mob of squabbling CROOKS. What an example to the World . Trump is making anyone they Buy from fund USA's shortcomings lifestyles and inefficiency with these Tariffs. The way the world is NOW. The USA market is something people can ignore and still get by.  America intends to Flourish at the expense of others including long standing allies. That's Not how a fair system Works. People will remember that essentially USA cannot be trusted.. Trump will next Penalise people who don't  play his game. Once you start this $#!t there's no end to it. NO rules doesn't work.. It's a Jungle. Nev

Do you realise that if you have participated in this thread, and posted any comment that is not a posite reference to Trump personally, or his policies, you have given US Immigration cause to deny you access to the United States? Also, if you happened to have a few puffs of weed 50+ years ago in your youth, you can't come in.

 

So, if you had thoughts of watching any 2026 FIFA World Cup games in the USA, think about your chances of getting into teh country.

It's not going to break my heart, and America is well down the list of countries I'd like to visit - especially an America run by the Orange Clown. I consider America an unsafe place to visit, with the massive number of firearms in public possession, with little ownership control, and many owned by permanently angry, foamy-mouthed ferals, who are classic MAGA adherents, and who prefer to shoot anyone they disagree with, or who "disrespect" them, or who "trespass" on their land. They really are a bunch of mentally-disturbed people.

 

Did you see where one of the Jan 6 rioters, who was pardoned by Trump, promptly set about stalking and killing 36 law enforcement officials who had made it onto his "kill" list, as regards his previous Jan 6 prosecution?

I mean, what kind of sicko keeps a "kill" list? A lot of MAGA adherents, no doubt. This bloke is another Timothy McVeigh, the instigator of the Oklahoma bombing, in the making.

 

Fortunately, U.S. law enforcement managed to nail him, and prove his murderous intent, and this obviously alarmed the entire judiciary, as he was jailed for life this time. Let's see if Trump pardons him again, seeing as he appears to be a Trump Golden Boy. I wonder how many more of these malevolently murderous Trump worshippers are out there, from the Jan 6 rioters?

 

Of course, they're all terrific Patriots, so it must be, they're being unfairly targeted by those evil Govt thugs.

It's NOT safe for a goodly number of the residents, increasingly. Even some contestants are at risk depending on where they come from.  Nev

Below is an excellent article, originally from the British Telegraph, pointing out how Trumps Big Beautiful Bill has just handed the Chinese the advantage in energy generation, and energy saving devices.

There is a likelihood that the reason I have been locked out of Facebook is that I have made numerous negative comments in relation to Grump on that platform. It has been suggested that I open a new account under a different name. To access my old account I have to supply a video of my face from my webcam. That would no doubt be passed to immigration for facial recognition should I attempt to enter the US. Why would I?

Who'd want to visit the USA?

 

Its time is over. We should be forming stronger defence bonds with Europe, Canada, Japan, South Korea and NZ, as well as maintaining cordial relationships with China, India, and the rest of Asia.

 

If saying bad things about their dictator is enough to stop visitors, their whole tourism sector is going to go tits up.

I'd like to take a trip to the USA solely for the purpose of viewing some of the magnificent scenery. I'd love to drive Route 66. However, as has been said, it is a dangerous place due to the human inhabitants. One could say that only 0.001% or less of the population is pshcyo, but when you have 300 million people, 0.001% still is a lot. And that's the diagnosable psychos. There are also heaps of people who just don't like strangers.

   Money is GOD.   Where'd you get the 0.001% from? Nev
