Thought I’d be brave and start a pro-Trump thread for a change, after all, there are so many anti-Trump ones , we need some balance!
I even tried commenting on an anti-Trump thread today… and wow, just kept being told to go away, my comments were not well received. Honestly, I feel honoured to feel as if I have been officially deported, what an achievement!😂

Trump: "I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."
Bush: "Whatever you want."
Trump: "Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

This, absolutely. Be fair, people!!! He ended eight-plus wars. If you don't believe this then tell me why he won a peace prize from an organisation that arranges football matches and corrupt business deals??

And the OP's concern for balance is admirable. I'm off to start a positive thread about nappy rash.

It teaches your child resilience nice and early! So one day, they can go on to end almost as many wars as DJT.

Whatever else trump is or isn't doing he's grabbing Europe by the shoulders and screaming repeatedly
...wake the fuck up! Get organised and get defence...every penny put into NATO and into defence is protecting us all from Putin.

OttersMayHaveShifted · 29/01/2026 18:35

You still haven't managed to mention a single good thing he's done, OP. Hint: 'achieving all the things he said he was going to do' is not a positive unless those things were actually good things.

Exactly this.

And if you’re going to support a morally defunct government and a mentally ill and corrupt president, you’d best be ready to stand up and OWN why you are supporting them - and not by sticking your fingers in your ears and crying “la la la”.

TooBigForMyBoots · 29/01/2026 18:56

Trump is destroying NATO. European leaders are waking up to their security enmeshment with the US.

Ah yes. A re-escalation to the cold war era and a new arms race. Yay! Thanks Trump. Give me putin any day.

I think he was good at playing a businessman, while in reality bankrupting 4 businesses (6, if you include Chapter 11), including a casino, which is virtually impossible.

Fair enough. I agree. It does make sense to see that if he ran his actual companies in the same immature, ego-driven, unlawful way he's running the country, of course he's ran them all to the ground the way he's currently doing with the US. Makes the situation of the country even more dire because there's nowhere else to go but down! Terrifying indeed.

Well unlike a lot of politicians he is actually achieving a lot of what he said he promised he would do during his campaign.

He has done more in his first year than Biden achieved in 4 years. Anybody remember what he achieved after 4 years?

Biden? Too much to list, but I offer you an example.

One word: insulin. Second word, Medicaid.

Made a huge difference to the lives of many. many Americans (four million seniors at least, plus pre-retirement disabled people) on Medicare by regulating the price of insulin so that they could afford to buy the amount of it that they needed.

It is now being claimed (by Trump, at least) that Trump did this, but there seems to be sfa evidence to support that claim, given the date on which it happened.

Now, can you provide a one- or two-word answer and a short explanation for the question "What has Trump achieved"? First or second term will do, I'm not fussy, though since your claim is that Trump has done more in a year than Biden did in four you ought really only to use an example from the past twelve months.

I would like to think better of Trump than I do, but it is very hard for me to do so in a complete absence of evidence.

Really? Even if you dislike Trump it’s hard to overlook a million deaths or injured due to Putin’s invasion.

Why can't we have one thread where we can discuss things calmly without all these angry people just stamping their feet. Wow.

The Republican party is going to be around for quite a while. Democratic party is imploding, infighting. falling apart.

You've picked the wrong topic.

If you want a pro Trump thread you'll have to go and find an American forum. This is a British forum and the vast majority have a negative view, last time I heard was over 70% and that was before his recent pathetic shenanigans around Greenland and all the horror surrounding ICE. You will be hard pressed to find people willing to say anything positive and rightly so!

Talkinpeace · 29/01/2026 19:02

Trump said he would release the Epstein Files.
Bill Clinton (who admits to being named in them) has requested it happens.
Why is Trump hiding the Epstein Files ?

Trimp said he's make food cheaper.
Its more expensive.

Trump said he'd end wars
then started one with Venezuela

Trump said he's cut immigration, but his version of ICE deports less people than Obama

Trump says he values American history, but paved over the Rose Garden and demolished the East Wing

Trump cut funding to FEMA
such that the victims of Hurricane Helene have still not got houses and roads

@MyThreeWords to start a positive thread about nappy rash - I'm screaming with laughter here!!!!!😂

Now I'm thinking about whether Trump wears a nappy for some odd reason!!!😂😂😂

crunchyspider · 29/01/2026 19:09

This isn’t an argument — it’s a collection of unsubstantiated claims.

If Trump’s presidency was so successful, it should be easy to list concrete achievements backed by facts. What exactly did he deliver, and for whom?

I’ve yet to see any credible positives that outweigh the damage, try and prove us wrong with evidence rather than rhetoric (hint, you won’t be able to)

Otherwise you’re just as deluded as he is.

Carpediemtoday · 29/01/2026 17:55

😂wow it took seconds. So predictable. This time I can tell you to go away to one the other threads you have so many!

Fuck me, It’s not a game? It’s not funny, you’re not ‘honoured’ to be ‘deported from a thread’ It’s not about how many ‘pro or against’ threads there are when we’re talking about people’s lives. And their deaths.

This is people being terrorised and murdered in the streets. Five year olds being detained - and you might want to look at the latest news regarding little Liam Ramos. This is Greenlanders scared of what’s going to happen next. This is real people’s lives that are being torn apart.

If you only care about yourself then have a think about what’s happening with measles and previously considered eradicated diseases on the rise. Have a think about the US leaving the World Health Organization a dismantling USAid and what that means for diseases like Ebola spreading. Think about what it means that they are leaving NATO and the reason for NATO’s existence in the first place.

If you’re getting some kind of little thrill from saying you’re in favour of a convicted felon then we can’t help you, but thank you for the opportunity again to shine a light on the people who are responsible for this cretin’s rise.

He’s trustworthy - he can’t seem to edit his thoughts, says exactly what he thinks, and ensures that his message gets directly out to the world unfiltered. You could compare him to FDR and his fireside chats in that respect.

Like FDR he has some grand ambitions for the power and reach of the presidency.

He’s not limited by ordinary human concerns like science, or the standard meaning of words which gives him huge leeway to re-design reality.

He has wonderful self confidence, and enormous self belief,

He inspires an incredible degree of loyalty - people tell bare faced lies for him, deny what their eyes can see to believe his words.

He’s a phenomenal showman. He connects with people, without any airs or graces, he has an incredible charisma that we underestimate or downplay at our peril.

He has a phenomenal instinct for power.

He is laying bare the ugly foundations of America, the cracks in its lofty claims of superiority. He’s revealing the legacy of the Civil War that has never been properly acknowledged let alone resolved, and he’s showing the world the terrifying consequences of sleeping while the democracy for and of the people became the oligarchy of the billionaires - these are all things we need to see.

He has provoked the people of Minnesota into showing the spirit of resistance against tyranny what once Made America Great.

He inspires fear in other world leaders. The body language in the Oval Office when world leaders were meeting him at the start of this presidency had changed completely from his first term.

He has a capacity to be a peace maker, because he’s tenacious and like a fig with a bone when he wants something (which is why giving him the MacNobel Prize was a mistake as his other ambitions might be better achieved with war).

He is the Ken to Melania’s Barbie.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so depressing. How are people genuinely this uneducated? I mean, even if we ignore the absolutely massive elephant in the room regarding their entire disdain for their fellow human beings, how are they just so unaware? I’m trying to be really careful about the word I use for this…

I think it’s good to post these things as many times as we can, although the type of person who starts these threads really doesn’t give a shit about this kind of thing.

You realise that… Pretty much everything you have written… You could copy another notorious world leaders name in there.

…. And yet, you say it all with pride. Astonishing and shameful.
