Do you mean Sweden ?

Or do you mean the EV and agri deal with the PRC last year. I remember at the time of the PRC deal that Trump said the PRC would eat him and spit him out. Or words to that effect.

More about the G-I-UK line the EU would like to create

There was that, Pope. Where they dug up his rotten dead body, tried him, then executed him.

The whole thing stunk.

In medieval Europe, animals were often put on trial if they injured, killed or damaged property. Pigs by far were the most common animal to face trial and they had to have a decent defence representative. Most of the pigs would be publicly hanged.

Never come across that. But I was reading about witch trials recently. Esp the Scottish ones and the part James 6th/1st played. A terrible period of history.

I'm not sure it will be immediate for all. I suspect one of his sons wi bizarrely assume he is the natural successor and try to step into the limelight as heir. They do seem to have a loose hold on reality.

And funnily enough, if this happens I think it'll be Eric. Lil Donnie has already pretty much stepped away from the political arena and is focusing solely on making as much money as he can while he still can. Eric, on the other hand, is still granting interviews and making statements about the perfections that are his dad's administration.

Lil Donnie seems to have some of his dad's canny 'instinct for survival'. Eric is just a dumb fuck.

Yes I think Eric is dumb enough to think he can carry on the dynasty.

@REP22

One of my hearings-to-the-purpose was that an early plan was for Vance to run for POTUS in 2028, endorsed by DT, with DT as his running shuffling mate. When Vance was duly elected by the MAGA faithful and millions of grateful ordinary citizens, he would promptly resign and Trump would resume the presidency under Section 1 of the 25th.

The 12th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution bars anyone who isn't eligible to be POTUS from serving as VP. And the 22nd Amendment bars anyone who has been elected twice from becoming POTUS. Since Scrotus has been elected twice he is ineligible to serve as POTUS, therefore is ineligible to serve as VP.

Not to say that he wouldn't be game to try. But I think one would be hard pressed to find someone who fought hard to get elected POTUS who would be willing to hand the highest office in the land over to anyone, even Scrotus. The refusal to do so would be the biggest double cross in history, worthy of Scrotus himself.

But even though it would be satisfying to see, I wouldn't want to see it in real life.

I would really be looking at how the word "elected" fits into that framework. It doesn't bar a POTUS being appointed for example.

That is why it is important when the Fart karks it or gets 25thed: if it is before or after the mid-terms makes a difference to whether Vance could serve two full terms or only one, I think.

Theoretically, if Vance succeeds to office and serves less than two years of Scrotus' remaining term, he can be elected twice. If he serves more than two years, he can be elected to one additional term.

I'm assuming 'term' begins with Inauguration Day. So Scrotus would have to hold off karking it until after Jan 2027 to allow Vance to serve two additional terms.

But as they say "No one lives longer than a nasty, rich old man". So I expect Scrotus to live to 100. Poor Melania, she'll wait a long time for those dead man's shoes.

Just to throw a spanner in the works. Remember the Fart said he beat Biden, and that he won that one. Biden cheated.

So according to the Fart himself, this is his 3rd term. Technically.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 07/06/2026 17:17

Ah, but he didn't serve the one when Biden was President. And it is the serving as President that counts.

But in his mind he won.

That he never served it is also a technicality. So I think we are in some sort of illogical loop.

It makes me wonder if he is a Solipsist ? That he thinks the universe only exists in his mind ? That logic and reason does not exist except as he sees it.

To be fair, he did manage to remember the names of several broadcasters. Aced it!!

Metro has a clip of the interview:

Trump storms out of interview ranting at 'crooked, one-sided press' after being pressed on Iran | Metro News

I reminds me of so many "other" threads on here. He can't back up anything he says, so his claims get wilder and wilder, then he just insults.

His base will think he done great. He showed her.

I think the face to face format is wrong. And that applies to many politicians really.

I think a MN format would be better. Sit him there with a laptop, and a big screen. An assistant maybe to do the laptop. Have him to back up his claims with data and put it on the big screen.

Imagine if UK politics had a thread like this. With just the Party leaders able to post. "Show me your evidence for that claim".

His base think he’s great yes! I caught sight of the clip on X - opened comments thinking oh that’s bad (lies, patronising, rude, etc etc, orange) then there’s loads digging at the interviewer and saying ‘yeah, that’s how to treat them’.

Ive not been on here so much - I’m still as baffled by the state of the Trmp and Trump World!

Woke up to reports of not moderate fire exchange.
In my dictionary, war has resumed.
Not sure if Trump is still holding on to the "ceasefire".
Trump will soon realise he cannot keep a lid on Israel and Iran exchanges.

I cannot see reports of any other country been hit, I hope that is the case on the ground. Plans to keep the SoH open, with a fee, are included in the live reports in the guardian website.

Iran say they struck a Kurdish place in Iraq. Likely connected to someone boasting about arming the Kurds to fight Iran.

Tump told Netanyahu not to retaliate but was ignored

Kennedy Centre - Last week, a memo was sent to staff at the institution directing employees to stop using Trump’s name in reference to the Kennedy Center on any formal communications or press materials. However the website still has Trump Kennedy Centre as the name. Will they comply by June 12?
