What has Trump done now?

[old man emu]

US presidential candidate selection has become a celebrity contest. The celebrity person is the poster boy of the Party, but not the leader. The leadership is in the hands of faceless men. The billionaires who pour money into the campaigns of candidates are not the ones creating policy. Those donations are for boosting the celebrity of the poster boy. The billionaires don't have a say in policy development. If they do make any suggestions, the backroom boys would ignore them.

You ALWAYS had to have Heaps of money to win the Presidency. Trump has ABUSED the Presidential powers making HIM King like or MAFIA BOSS/ DICTATOR. That's  why he ADMIRES People Like Putin, "Little Rocket MAN" and Bolsenaro. Elected (Democratic) people can't be Bought or they get chucked out. ALBO seems to be an exception there. Trump likes HIS success in the Polls.  Trump Likes to Hold "ALL the CARDS".  and be able to say "YOU ARE FIRED". Nev

the uncouth, uneducated, obscene orange excuse for a man they have now.

Sadly, the worst of it is not just TRump.

 

The POS... oops, POTUS is simply the mouthpiece for a large cohort of powerful oligarchs. 

 

No matter what evolves from this in coming decades, the rule of law, separation of powers, and integrity of the entire federal government and all its departments has been gutted. The tiger is now out of the cage and will remain running wild for a long, long time.

Look at these DJT posts, and the number of 'Likes' & 'Reposts' and wonder how big the pro faschist oligarch worshipping is.....

Here is one report issued Friday referring to him as "former' president.

 

BREAKING: Judge Drops HUGE Ruling Against Trump

A major legal blow has just struck former President Donald Trump as a federal judge issued a sweeping ruling against him — one that legal analysts are already calling “devastating” and “potentially career-ending.” The decision, handed down early Friday morning, marks a turning point in one of Trump’s most closely watched court battles and could carry massive political and financial consequences.

According to court documents released minutes after the decision, the judge found Trump liable for multiple violations connected to what prosecutors described as a “pattern of deception and obstruction.” The ruling reportedly grants prosecutors expanded access to Trump’s financial records, communications, and internal business dealings — evidence that could expose years of hidden transactions and false statements.

Consider though Peter, anyone who's "liked" or "retruthed" this has signed up to "Truth Social" to begin with, so it's not a cohort representative of the population.

Maybe RIGHT whingers are better than LEFT whingers?  Nev

So are you suggesting that those people don't count because their endorsementof the Gropenfuhrer reflects a lower less desirable mental competency?

 

I remind you that those retweeting twits probably vote, which gives them SOME relevence.

 

So, based on your judgement, are MGAnuts back on the menu for you?

I think MAGAnuts still qualify as human, which makes them illegal to eat.

I'm not saying they don't count - just that "Truth Social", as well as being misnamed, is not a broad church social media platform like Insta or TikTok (although TikTok will veer more to the insane too when it becomes owned by Trump's son and other oligarchs).

So when you see a Trump post getting 26,000 likes, that's probably a large percentage of the users on the platform.

.....Truth Social....

Most of the thinking world would see that oxymoron's abound in the Brave New World of USA.

[nomadpete]

I think that although the "Truth Social" is just a echo chamber that was created to stroke some old bloke's ego, The New Administration might also use it as rough guide of numbers devout followers. Also as a rabble rousing pathway.

 

But why has nobody made an issue over the utter crud he posts?

[Marty_d]

You answer your own question.  Because it's an echo chamber.  No one with multiple brain cells would join it, so there's no one to make an issue out of his insane posts.

[facthunter]

You might as well WATCH. You will all be paying for it. I just reckon "You couldn't WRITE this STUFF"  Nev

Trumps new Mate, Albo

I strongly doubt that Albo and the Labor Party consider any appearance of being matey with Trump is anything more than wise diplomacy. Perhaps the Labor Party's way of dealing with Trump is to piss in his pocket and tell him its a warm feeling of friendship.

[Grumpy Old Nasho]

How Trump dealt with Rudd the Dudd was classic stuff. 

 

"I don't like you either" - LOL

[Marty_d]

Classic for kindergarten I guess

How Albo dealt with Trump is classic diplomacy. 

 

There was no "deal" signed, just a memorandum of understanding. About as binding as the glue on a Post-It note.

[Grumpy Old Nasho]

Albo laughed at Dudd's expense.

 

Trump was on top the whole time.

[facthunter]

 Experts analysed K.RUDDS water sipping and facial expressions . HE was in  a bad way as in "scared $#!tless". ALBO laughed to  try to reduce the damage of Trumps Gross lack of Decorum which unchecked Could have stuffed the whole thing UP. Your TAKE on IT, GON is aligned with your Bias. Nev

[rgmwa]

Rudd had to sit there and take it and Albo had to deflect what could have an even worse situation for Australia's interests, but Rudd was right about Trump the first time.
