What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

"Gulf of America"

Sorry Americans, your country is made of stupid.

How did you figure that out?  I thought we were hiding it very well...

So Trump is NOT ordering tariffs on Day One - rather is telling agencies to investigate how to deal with trade imbalances.

So - good?

I think a good way to frame the crazy policy proposals that come out of Trump's mouth is as a perverted version of the standard political practice of running it up the flagpole and seeing if everyone salutes. If everyone salutes it's policy,  if they don't it was just a joke and we can laugh at the librul tears. That's why I'm confident we're not going to invade Greenland.

But... the wall with Mexico.

Also a pretty dumb idea.  I mean - not border security in general, including a physical barrier at parts.  But Trump was kind of trapped in his first go around and was forced to try and make it happen no matter how stupid.

Proves my point.  Trump voters loved it.

What I've seen on video of him over the past years made him look like a not very smart person, though not sure how much of that is an act. Though I did see a video where he gave some other streamers a tour of his absolute filth pit he calls "home."

I'm aware. The few flashes I've seen were enough. Not the worst thing I've ever seen though.
As for smarts... it's all relative isn't it. Pretty sure his bankaccount is smarter than mine

This needs to be pinned and the Biden one unpinned.

[crazy canuck]

Biden was unpinned a while ago

Asmon is actually fairly bright. His online persona less so.

He does seem to have mental health problems. Apparently triggered by his mom's death.

By the way, the fact the inauguration was moved indoors due to "low temperatures" when the temp in DC today is -3c (26f) is always humorous to a Canadian.

that does explain some things.

Did William Henry Harrison die in vain!?

24 with no wind and the sun shining is bearable.  24 with wind and clouds is painful.

Crassus would be pleased. Wonder if Musk plans on invading Iran.

[DGuller]

It really scares me when I think of the implications of all the tech giants allying with an authoritarian politician.  How can any regular Joe, or even most irregular Joes, put up resistance against that alliance?  They have access to data that would probably leave even Mother Teresa vulnerable to blackmail, and plenty of resources to set up an efficient surveillance state that was not technically feasible just decades ago.

[Zoupa]

Musk just Sieg Heil'ed. Twice.
