I still don't understand the appeal of Trump. I get that he was a New York real estate person/entertainer who wanted to be the center of attention and also had a reality show called "The Apprentice" but I do not get how despite all the revelations and lack of skill in doing the job he was elected to do that he can still have a cult to himself.

I understand how the culture war has affected how people perceive and do things but politicians should not be using the culture wars as an excuse to neglect their duties. If I managed to get elected for example, I would do the job rather than act like an influencer on social media.
You don't understand "genius but idiot".

trump may be a Israeli owned stooge but fucking A he is a straight white male Israeli stooge and Ill take that over a brown bitch who sucked her way into every job she has every had.

Trump is shitting in the bed and rolling in it and asking us to clap but Kamala would have sold the damn bed to some brownoids and then made us pay for a new one all while telling us how we were the problem.

He was a wealthy outsider presumably not susceptible to 3rd-parties or special interests. His special brand of clown-car retard was well suited to fight modern wokeism and turn domestic politics upside-down in a badly-needed way. The deal always was that he be kept far away from international adventures and wars and shit where those same personality traits would likely get us all killed. That deal was explicit since he campaigned non-stop on removing us from foreign wars instead of starting them. We knew this but did it anyway because things had gotten that desperate domestically.
 
I'm convinced that gay conversion therapy works since otherwise there wouldn't be this irrational hostility towards it.

Late edit: anyone bitching that its inability to work 100% of the time means its worthless is no different than someone wanting to ban weight-loss diets because they rarely work and can have serious side effects.

He had the best economy of my adult lifetime before the "experts" fucked him on covid.
 
Has there been any new details on when we are getting the $2000 dollars in Trump bux? He could even swing it as the tariff refund since the Supreme Court didn't specify how he had to do it.

I tend to believe COVID-19 was the beginning of corporate influence over society as a large amount of people were forced to stay in their homes and be slaves to the whims of Amazon/Meta (Facebook at the time)/Paramount and all the other numerous companies who I can't be bothered to name cause nobody has the time to know all this shit.

Elon Musk buying Twitter and rebranding it was the moment where corporate control was cemented. I'm amazed that it took 6 years for corporations to make us dependent on them.
 
I was a witness to the George W. Bush presidency so I do understand "genius but idiot". In my opinion, George W. Bush did a way better job of doing his job as well as portraying that image.

GWB is for open borders which started this whole mess we're in.

“At its core, immigration is a sign of a confident and successful nation. Immigrants’ talent and hard work and love of freedom have helped us become the leader of the world.”
–President George W. Bush

Every year that goes by without reforming the United States immigration system means a missed opportunity to ensure the future prosperity, vitality, and security of our nation. At the George W. Bush Institute, we are committed to changing the terms of this debate and offering solutions that are bold and politically viable. We are committed to using our voice to ensure that the United States reaps the benefits of our longstanding history as a nation of immigrants.

We need top-to-bottom reform that meets the needs of our economy, addresses current migration patterns, welcomes refugees and asylum seekers, and provides reasonable legislative solutions for the undocumented, including Dreamers.We are committed to changing the terms of this debate and offering bold, principle-based solutions.

Successful immigration reform should:

Allow Dreamers to apply for citizenship
Uphold our long-standing tradition of welcoming refugees and asylum seekers
Manage our borders through investment and innovation, and by helping our neighbors
Adapt our immigration systems to meet the needs of our 21st century economy
Create a more efficient temporary foreign worker entry program
Create a rigorous, fair process for undocumented immigrants to get right with the law

dubya was a very good president given the circumstances. magats, niggers, midwits, dykes, lolbertarians, and troons cannot understand this. and he looks better with each day too, since trump cant pretend to not be a jewish puppet anymore.
if we were struck with another 9/11 tomorrow this admin would entirely fall apart - which was another Bush pro: he surrounded himself with serious and aggressive people. not whores married to drag queens and closeted Fox News anchors.

We could talk about what started the whole mess whether it's "open borders" or "the Iraq war which caused the mess we're in" but it already happened.

I've even stopped engaging in society mainly because it has become clout based bullshit. Politics, art, random shitposts. If I were to make an attempt at anything, I would have to play the game and get myself a lobotomy so I'm not aware of how superficial shit has become.

I wouldn't be surprised if JD Vance were elected president.

At least this site isn't under the auspices of a billionaire or a corporation. I'm aware that posting my views in this thread gets me a lot of top hats, trash cans and some exotic reactions but I feel more comfortable posting here than on some social media site where users would exploit me for content.

On a practical level, he was the least bad option that was actually nominated and put onto a ballot. Team Blue has self-immolated for the sake of nothing and really don't seem like they're keen on putting out the flames. I'd have rather stuck a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger than vote for Kamala Harris, or Biden, or Hillary. Trump makes mistakes, completely voluntarily and utterly unforced, but there was and is no other option. He's more or less singlehandedly forced the Republican party to be as aligned to me politically as they're probably ever going to be. To suddenly give up on him after 10 years of supporting him out of some petty idealist perfectionism is foolish.

The US election system penalizes third parties heavily, but that's what keeps the Greens and the Libertarians nice and small and retarded. To let yourself tilt to the point of disenfranchisement with the thing that's both good enough and big enough to effect power—it's not how you play politics, it's how you become irrelevant. You gotta know when to chimp out and when to shut up. Too often the right move is to shut up and Trust The Plan.
