Summary
Seventy days into his second term, Donald Trump faces growing internal turmoil and public backlash. Allies report he’s making late-night angry calls, upset over negative press and policy setbacks.
The “Signalgate” scandal and GOP resistance to new tariffs have shaken his administration. Trump blames National Security Adviser Mike Waltz for a messaging blunder and resents criticism of his deportation efforts.
His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered.
Republicans fear economic fallout from his trade policies, raising concerns about recession and inflation.
oh sure…it’s a ‘press’ problem
can only shine a pile of shit for only so long, Donald.
All he has to do is not drive the car off the cliff but noooooo
It will end up like brexit. Most people who voted for him will stay in the sect no matter what. When enough people finally switch to hand power back to the democrats it will be too late to simply reverse most of what Trump did and slow rebuilding will start. If Democrats elect competent leaders they will actually fix things. If not they will just continue working with what Trump left for them (like with Starmer)
and slow rebuilding will start.
And then Democratic voters will get complacent, or get all pissy about how their pet project for change isn’t getting enough attention fast enough, and not vote the next time leading to a Republican getting back in office BECAUSE SURELY THAT WILL HELP THEIR FUCKING PRECIOUS INTERESTS. It worked out so~ well this past Fall, didn’t it? Nothing at all~ to be concerned about, worried about, uncertain about, or terrified about now.
If Democrats elect competent leaders
Pelosi and Schumer, and all their fanbois (people listening to them even when they aren’t in office), would need to go.
I wonder just how bad things will have to get for a most people to vote.
I can only hope that democrats learn that no matter how bad the republican candidate is or how bad their outward plans they need to run a popular person.
It’s been proven there is not a Republican candidate bad enough to make people vote for their interests.
Brexit is like herpes. It just keeps on giving.
How does this old ass dude have so much goddamn energy? I am in my PRIME and I need naps.
Drugs. Adderall, mostly.
Hate.
It’s not like he really does anything except golfs, eats McDonald’s, possibly gropes or sexually assaults young girls (some habits are hard to break - grab them by the pussy right?). He doesn’t read, doesn’t think - he basically signs whatever heritage foundation and his rich friends put in front of him to sign.
For all the time he spends golfing, it’s amazing how bad he is at it.
Stimulants. Where do you think Jr. gets it from?
How do I get some and what are they called? 🤣
Most likely ADHD meds. They will keep you up and running for awhile. He will eventually fall to time though, like we all do.
“Nothing fucks you harder than time.” -Davos Seaworth
30mg Lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse/Vyvanse) every morning.
It’s like a cheat code for life.
speed, some guy called “Squigz” who you can find under the bridge after 10pm every night.
Squigz is in charge of US drug policy now.
I thought that was Leon’s dealer?

Spez isn’t here to ban you for “promoting violence”
But the mod still removed the comment.
lol amazing.
This is going to be an even more interesting time in the coming weeks. When animals are cornered, things get very ugly. And we’re beyond ugly already with almost half of Project 2025 implemented already.
Obviously nonsense. He doesn’t have any friends.
“Friends”: people who agree with whatever you say and laugh at you after the call?
“Friends”
He had so many ways of consolidating his grasp on his realm without looking like a total buffoon. That alone gives me hope.
The one thing that might save us is the MAGA obsession with forcing their virtuosic incompetence on everything and everyone. Their inevitable failure is built into their system.
Meanwhile, anyone with competence and experience is now playing for the opposing team, so if the Dems can manage to regain power, they will have a deep bench to draw from.
A very Fisherian / žižekian critique. Aptly said.
I mean… Why doesnt he just stop doing things that give him bad press.
I can think of one thing he could do that would get him lots of good press, but it’s typically a TOS violation.
It’s probably a TOS against something he signed after taking elon’s money but firing Elon would be a really good first start
Rhymes with mooicide?
Narcissistic psychopaths gonna narcissistic psychopath.
If he were smart enough to do that, he probably wouldn’t have bankrupted a casino twenty years ago.
Four casinos, depending on how you count his six bankruptcies.
I’m supposing this dumbfuck really thought he was going to get praise for this?
The problem is that he’s been safely ensconced in a bubble his entire fucking life. He’s Patient Zero when it comes to rich white failsons failing upwards, FFS.
yeah some progressive senator/rep was saying this was actually 10d chess on trump’s part to extract concessions from industries in exchange for tariff relief, and, maybe, but also, you know, there is the other explanation
this was actually 10d chess on trump’s part to extract concessions
It’s called a shakedown. Instead of actually talking to someone, start by threatening them then extract concessions. Best deal maker ever
If, by “concessions,” they meant bribes, that might be true.
He thought he could make more fake deals and get good press, but the nihilist tech bro backed death cult had other ideas.
Will no one rid us of this turbulent moron?
Time will. Just not soon enough.
Nobody knows with certainty how long anyone will live.
Trump doesn’t have friends; he has lackeys and people who want to gain something by getting in his favor. Others follow and agree with him out of fear of retaliation.
Let the fucker rage. Get that blood pressure up … one can only hope for a heart attack.
A stroke would be better. Just enough that he can’t talk, but still understands enough to see it all ebbing away.
It would be!
I despise this man so much that I went through the logistics of how I could piss on his grave in the future. It involved bottling the piss and wearing a MAGA hat to get close if needed. I’m embarrassed about how petty I am, but there it is.
his blood is mostly DIET COKE anyways.
