Isn't that totally normal for him surely?

Neolara · 19/01/2025 23:26

Anything in particular?

What have I just seen:Trump

You’ve answered your own question.

I’ve been very into politics since I was about 12. I just can’t engage with this. Talk to me in December 2028.

He's got great "instincts" for what will get him noticed, and get people to vote for him. He's also a horrific, amoral, lunatic. It makes me worried for the human race.

Coldanddamp · 19/01/2025 23:38

i find him fascinating, he's awful & people know that but they can overlook it because he really seems to know what people want.

Chinupandtitsout · 19/01/2025 23:40

I know nothing about politics, but his rhetoric was shocking. Those videos about illegal immigrants, the ludicrous claims he made… I’m in disbelief that this is happening.

Have you just landed from Mars OP. What exactly have you seen that is so shocking.

And in any case what is so shocking about wanting to secure your country’s borders? 8 million illegal migrants have come into the US on Biden’s watch. That is more shocking than anything Trump says.

It’s not a novel idea. Your reaction is giving ‘faux rage’.

BarbaraHoward · 19/01/2025 23:59

So many pro-Trump comments can be responded to with the immortal words "grab em by the pussy", can't they.

Dabralor · 20/01/2025 00:00

What's he wanging on about today? Was it in sentences?

Your "8 million" number is incorrect, Annie. Even cursory research finds the actual data. '8 million' refers to the amount of times Border Control came into contact with an immigrant, not the total amount of immigrants, illegal or otherwise.

The country depends on undocumented immigrants for labour. What will happen if they are all deported?

No it doesn’t.

And wages would go up for those remaining if undocumented migrants are deported. Not that this will happen, given the sheer size of the task.

'Anniedash' do you live in the U.S.? If not, how can you be so adamant that 'GameofPhones' is wrong?

Bailiwitch · 20/01/2025 00:21

Right there with you, @Chinupandtitsout. Sky News live in the corner of my phone and I’m almost having to pinch myself.

I’ve been comforting myself with the thought that he can’t be elected again - but Lord knows where we’ll be by then …

Ignorant, bigoted, gullible, rudderless people, that is.

Do you or game of phones live in the US? If not, how can you be so adamant that you are so right.

And even if you are right, which you’re not, it doesn’t matter. The public have voted. And they think you are wrong.

crumblingschools · 20/01/2025 00:23

Well I guess we will see who is right. As he isn’t very good at telling the truth I’m not sure Trump will be right

He just won his second election. And is about to be inaugurated tomorrow. I think the time for ‘we’ll see’ has sailed. ‘We’ need to get over it.

So what? These people are taking absolutely nothing from average Americans.

Many prominent Republicans rely on "illegal labour" to keep their companies and local economies going.

I can't wait to see stupid Americans feeling the brunt of "Trump tariffs." Ignorant fools will be the ones paying for it.

timetodecide2345 · 20/01/2025 00:27

I find it astounding and more shocking that at this point in time after his last 4 year reign of terror and everything that's in the news and on social media that anyone can be shocked about Trump.

Exactly. I can't wait to see that.

How many young entitled Americans are going to work in slaughterhouses or agricultural fields or cleaning hotel rooms?

Sitting here with popcorn waiting for the trump voting fools to receive what's coming for them.

And yet the last two Democratic presidents (Obama and Biden) have deported more people that Trump ever did in his 1st term when he was crowing about his wall.

Trump has been very poor on most things, especially immigration don't believe he's suddenly going to be some orange saviour.

They make up over 4% of the workforce. I'd like to see what happens when they're all removed. Those jobs won't be filled because some people will think they're too low paid and demeaning (which they often are).

People really need to move away from the gross idea that immigrants are lazy bums looking for benefits. Most want and do work.

OhioLois · 20/01/2025 00:35

I believe we've seen the last free and fair, properly democratic America presidential election for a long, long time. American exceptionalism will not protect it - or the constitution - from Trump.

No guard rails. Immunity from prosecution. ONLY enablers in positions of power. Control of both houses. No morals whatsoever. Doesn't give a shit about America or American people.

I'm avoiding the news cycle at the moment.

And yours is giving misinformation. But yet, here we are. God Help Us All. And I’m agnostic.
