Why isn’t Trump being overthrown?

242 replies

I’m sorry if this is a really thick question but I’m guessing that the answers will be multi-faceted.

Why isn’t Trump being overthrown internally in the US? He is presiding over a shit show and trampling over the constitution from what I understand. But there doesn’t seem to be massive resistance to this (or at least none reported). Can anyone explain why this is, please. Genuine question.

Clearly deception is useful in state craft - but US has twice while in their words having productive talk with Iran bombed them and now seem surprised they aren't keen to go for a third.

I don't think there some great plan being enacted here.

I think Jon Stewart sums up where most of the world is - veiwing Trup has having zero credibility as a result of his prior behavior.

It's just some sections of the media that acts like Trump still talks any sense about anything that stumps me.

Personally I'd interested in who made the massive oil trades just before Trump announced the talks that weren't ever a thing.

For trying to stop terrorism against the West? Are you part of the Iranian regime OP?

I’m really surprised he hasn’t been assassinated.

I know! There's a hostile regime in the whitehouse that's a threat to world peace...why aren't the democrats more vocal? Or is it we just dot hear anything about them anymore? Why aren't the Americans on the streets?

So you’re happy that you have a ln unconvincted paedophile and a nepotistic convicted fraudster in charge of your country? Not to mention someone who isn’t that interested in looking after anyone in the country who doesn’t look and think like he does?

Also, genuinely, what has he done that constitutes the ‘most part’ that you like? I get that we might not hear about the good stuff he’s doing as it’s eclipsed by the bad, but if there are positives they should be highlighted. What are they?

Exactly my thoughts. He seems untouchable and it’s scary as Vance would step in if it wasn’t Trump and he’s just as crazy.

I do find it disconcerting when Trump is obvioulsy talking utter crap - like Iran saying there are not talks when he says they are going well - how many in media try and make it make sense - maybe it someone lower down so higher up not aware in Iran maybe its talks with an intermeidate country - not he is clearly lying his ass off.

but then as part of strategy hes hardly going to say whats true etc or did no one study Machiavelli's the prince book ? or sun tzu the art of war etc

yes there will be a strategy, trumps just the main figure person, how many military, intelligence services , various others involved ? or do people think America is asleep ?

Show quote history

No realistic strategy, thats as plain as day to see.

Impacts on energy... Hormuz, inflation.... total surprise on the regime still in place, in fact stronger (in terms of its hold on power)

The people making the decisions are clueless as is anyone who thinks that Trump and those around him had any strategy.

Now we have the Trump negotiating with himself with bizarre claims of "prizes and gifts" from Iran.....

Doubt anyone thought he'd start a war that may well trash the world economy but he has always had wacky (nasty) ideals

My fear was over NATO and Ukraine, which has been born out, he made no secret of his admiration for Putin, with the real question being why?

What has surprised me though is the right wing who have continued to tie themselves to Trump.

Plenty of people would like to get rid of Starmer but that’s not happening either.

You may not like him but he's not a sex offender with dementia who's starting illegal wars, is he? 🙄

"Misalignment can be tactical (field-level vs. strategic) or political (public narrative vs. classified goal)."

What do you think yourself? Do you think there are actual US military and/ or political goals in the Middle East do you think it's just a convenient vehicle for chaos farming financial shenanigans and that Trump and his mates are insider trading their little hearts out.

it could be a mix of geopolitical plans and also make some £ for the war chest too as plans and operations are not cheap

It applies to any electorate. Hit them in the wallet and they’ll take their vote away. That applies particularly in the US where they worship money.

And this is why as much as I wish @BIossomtoes were right about people pivoting away when their pocketbooks get squeezed I believe that this doesn’t apply to a large segment of his base.
