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.
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.
How does this old ass dude have so much goddamn energy? I am in my PRIME and I need naps.
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.
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.

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.
“Friends”: people who agree with whatever you say and laugh at you after the call?
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
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.
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.
Trump has friends?
Trump has any sense of reality?
What negative press? His supporters are all in. They’re brigading every online message board and spamming about how this is great for the country.
Those are bots. The majority of MAGA supporters probably don’t even remember their account passwords.
The fact that McHitler hasn’t stroked out by now is all the proof I really need to say that there is no god directing all this shit.
Maybe who you think god is is all wrong? Maybe it’s the other guy or girl or it who’s really in charge.
Been thinking about that myself, with my shitty religious upbringing. This is what god wants. And, if you’re Jewish and you’ve at least heard the phrase “god’s chosen people,” I just wonder how you square that with one of the worst people to live having killed 6 million of them. God was really looking out for the chosen people that day, let me tell ya…
My ex, who is Jewish, told me “chosen” is more like “singled out.”
Maybe God isnt all powerful and is forced to watch all she made kill itself over and over in ever more savage ways.
God realized how badly She fucked up and died of Chrstian pity.
My dad is 60 and has had a stroke in Janurary. He’s far from perfect, but he’s been a good role model for me, made me a better person, and helped me when I realized my mom was more insane each passing day.
This fucker is the oldest one, looks worse, is angry 24/7, and hasn’t had one.
Life is a cruel joke.
The only justice in this world is the justice we make.
Around 13,000 children under the age of 5 die every day. I’d love to see god explain that lol
“I work in mysterious ways.”

“We didn’t start the fire. It’s always been burning since the world’s been turning…”
God: “No, yeah, that was me. I started it. Flicked over the first domino. Still watching the picture unfold. Quite the sight, wish you could see it.”
Lucifer: I’m not in the business of murdering innocent children. That’s God’s jurisdiction.

Unless Trump is the antichrist, then God intended for it to happen.
hes a low-level demon escaped from hell, anti-christ would have been able to warp reality one of the key feature of its powers
He’s able to do that for 1/3 of the US population.
God realized they fucked up with all us uppity hyper-hierarchical monkeys and is going for a hard reset, or never existed. Change my mind.
If god, in the christian, all-knowing and all-powerful sense even exists, she must fucking hate us, because she allowed Drumf to happen. I could never venerate a god who is that callous and spiteful.
He - and if there is a God, I am convinced he is a he, because no woman could or would ever fuck things up this badly.
St. George Carlin
LOL. What a treasure !
If there is a god, he’s incompetent at best, and more likely, an asshole who is doing this shit on purpose.
The voices in his dementia-addled brain don’t count as “friends”.
What fucking “friends” does this guy have?
People who find him useful.
He might not have any friends, but there are probably a few people that consider him a useful idiot…
What are the chances of him being booted out via 25th Amendment in the next six months?
It might buy JD just enough time to prevent the Republicans being utterly wiped out in the mid-terms…
I will now gaze wistfully into the near distance and contemplate life under the more competent evil.
More competent but significantly less likeable for the bade. Trump slides by with what passes as charisma to stupid people, but vance is such a bitch that I can’t imagine them rallying around him.
I hear that, but would also consider the monied interests would like more stability, and would ease the rallying behind Vance… probably.
