Quote from: Wildweasel74 on January 22, 2026, 02:12:45 PMHes gone worse than Biden, to think people thought he could do another term. He kick the bucket or be in a home b4 the end of this one.

Will be the greatest nursing home though, or no other bucket like it in the world!

He goes and another megalomaniac will take over! rinse and repeat 
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Does he not 180 on 99% of things.. All about keeping the **** in the daily headlines. He won't see the year out imo

I would love you to be right but I would doubt it.

My fear would be that whoever comes next (Vance?) will be worse.

Vance wouldn't have the same cult following as the Donald.

The only thing worse than a MAGA who doesn't know what he's doing is a MAGA who does know what he's doing. The only saving graces of Trump are that he doesn't understand how things work, and he's easily distracted. Macron figured out how to play Trump like a Stradivarius years ago. Vance is still an idiot, but he would not be so easy to play. I doubt if he'd come out with hare-brained schemes like annexing Greenland, but he'd think nothing of kicking millions of people off their health insurance in the name of conservative ideology. His presidency could potentially produce a bigger death toll than Trump's. Plus he's younger, so we don't have the safety valve of inevitable-death-from-old-age-in-the-next-few-years that we have with Trump.

From the outside looking in, everyone in Trump's inner circle (most of which have, correctly,  lambasted the lunatic in the past) , are all very disposable and will be thrown to the wolves sooner rather  than later.

Agreed, but their damage has set America back generations

I donMt think Vance would get elected, unless the Democratics pull out Hillary Clinton or someone like that to run.

Wow! Trump has fairly rattled the Brits saying their army held back from the front line in Afghanistan.
Ok to fund genocide but dont insult 'our boys'.

Yikes he is doing some damage to NATO.

This sort of thing would annoy many of his own voters esp given his own draft dodging.

Truthsayer

The quicker he messes up the better; maybe they'll wise up and remove him.
Reminds me of the player coming off the field after playing useless and the supporter shouting: "I don't blame you, I blame the man who picked you".
The American voters to blame.

DaleCooper

Its could be extreme brinksmanship but the off the cuff comments are always revealing. Americans see themselves as the New world, think Europe always looking down on them.

It's a perfectly understandable reaction from Britain and the other NATO members. Proportionately, just as many Danes died over there as Americans.

What makes it worse is that the insults are coming from Mr. Bone Spurs who whined about coffins of dead soldiers on the news, didn't want to meet grieving parents and called men who served bravely and honourably like John McCain "losers". A rich sc**bag who dodged service himself while poor young lads had to go to Vietnam.

f**k him.
