Any Americans on here? What is the feeling in America regarding trump?

[FedUpWithDilemmas]

I've only seen one person talking out against him regarding Greenland. I know this can't be representative to reality. But I wonder what the media is controlling

What's going on in America?

And how does Trump think that makes him look? I’m not really getting impressive statesman vibes 🙄

How does the US get rid of a POTUS who's gone mad?

Indeed. Let's hear the defence of this? I wasn't in favour of Biden hanging on, Trump has smashed the queries on mental health out of the park...

1. Denmark and people of Greenland already made it clear they are not interested
2. encouraging /instigating secession of territory even via purchase is against current norms of international law (that all countries agreed to)

@Catpuss66, I think this arises from people living in media bubbles, watching Fox News all day and listening to extremist Podcasts. They absolutely fall down a rabbit hole. If you engage with this kind of media, past stories have been that Democrats support "live birth abortion," where doctors kill the baby as it is born. Or that Hilary Clinton and other top Democrats were part of a paedophile ring. It is all absolutely untrue, total false, but people absolutely believe it.
It is total disinformation.

The discussion about men wasn’t directed at that person specifically, it was general. My reply to their leaving strop was the only specific one. This thread isn’t the one for sensitive feelings, I can personally attest to that.

David French, a somewhat conservative former Republican, military veteran and first amendment lawyer, who writes for The New York Times but lives in a small, very conservative town in the south (I think Tennessee), has written and talked quite a lot about this.

He and his wife have essentially been ostracised in their community and church for having adopted a child from Ethiopia and speaking out against Trump. He maintains that most of the people he comes in contact with there live in a partisan bubble that casts Democrats as literal evil. He says they have very little knowledge of things that Trump actually does.

I saw a discussion thread on social media recently that was asking christians what they could possibly see in Trump that aligned to christian values. I am not religious, but was interested in what they’d have to say.

There were reams of absolutely delusional, crazy responses. Stuff about him being sent from god to them as their king and saviour to lead them out of the darkness, etc. So there’s certainly multiple versions of brainwashing. I’m sure there are plenty of absolutely sane christians where Trump is involved, but they were beyond crazy.

Trump is so irreligious it's untrue!

Last term, he was holding the Bible upside down outside some church or other. He was asked on record to name his favourite book in the Bible. Couldn't name any so said he liked them all.
And now he's selling a Trump bible saying it's the only Bible endorsed by Trump.

Thanks for your reply now that makes sense I was wondering had we been fed different portrayal of the dems. I just thought that was MAGA thought process, seems it might be true of the Trump administration, well according to Epstein files well bits we can see.
let’s hope Republicans that know the difference between right & wrong join forces & save the US & the world. Sending hugs

Zelensky put the thought into his mind when he accused him of not having elections he explained they couldn’t whilst they were at war. This gave Trump the thought of trying to goad the population into civil war then he could postpone the elections until ‘the war’ is over. This is why Tim Walz is saying do not use violence because this is what he wants…midterms are the only way to make him lose power.

I think why the uk feels more at risk. Most Americans have very little understanding of WW2. I was born in the 60’s think they only lifted rationing in 1954. The hardship & loss was felt more by the UK & Europe that’s why you have little understanding on how bad war can be. You had very little damage of your country in WW2 we had whole cities bombed, Coventry had to be completely rebuilt.
so you were an independent voter that let him in, I think history will judge you harshly.

Not sure what free speech you think is being curtailed. Inciting violence isn’t free speech. Most uk citizens don’t want riots on the street, which happened once with the help of musk dipping his oar in, helping to protect women & girls until it affected his business told had to stop displaying harmful images of women without consent. Him & men like him have made women around the world unsafe.

I agree
And going back to the list of things the US are worried about, most of it (free speech, no go areas in London, arrests over trans rights) is just rubbish or at best exaggerated
We have concerns too about the US ( gun violence, storming the Capitol, shooting people in the face, abortion rights, banning books, banning media outlets...)
But on the whole I say its your country and you voted for it so leave you to it
But when you interfere elsewhere? Line overstepped, trust gone
I mean he can't be trusted can he? He's using tariffs agreements to try to justify / force taking over another country!
I do agree about Nato £ and some aspects. But lets not pretend the US doesn't benefit from Nato extensively..

As I say the trust is broken. I dont want to see it mended. I would prefer a new Alliance with Europe, commonwealth countries and others with similar.. values at the end of it..

I would like to see America back as a friend & ally but it will take time to built trust, & no sign a Trump to be left behind. Any trace of him should wiped away like a poo mark.

And if he starts taking more countries? Jesus fucking christ.

How dare you!! Democracy means I can vote for whoever the hell I want so you can take your judgement and shove it. I had my reasons for voting the way I did and I do not have to justify myself to you.

i voted independent in a blue fucking state that I knew would never vote red but I wanted my voice heard that the American people deserve a decent third option. So if you think I ‘let him in’ you could not be more wrong and you need to educate yourself on the American electoral college.

your judgment of something that has nothing to do with you sucks.

& there we go you just showed who you are.
Even judge Judy voted blue & she was a lifelong republican she knew what was coming.

There is stuff appearing online that Trump wants Greenland as a Praxis Nation

which would make the idea of him being so adamant that he wants Greenland.

reasons of National security don’t make sense as USA have left bases on Greenland. The mineral wealth is decades away, as still the infrastructure needs to be built to deal with the minerals

can get rid of the indigenous people, make life difficult for them

a utopian vision for rich oligarchs

they can build a nation as they want and require

then who cares if USA has failed, left bankrupt

’showed who I am??’

tell me oh wise one… who am I??

That could be done in Wyoming, and pay off the locals with the same amount being offered to the Greenlanders. There are fewer proportionately living in Wyoming than in Greenland, and no ice to crush either.

that doesn’t seem to be the plan though, Greenland is the required location https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/greenland-freedom-city-rich-donors-push-trump-tech-hub-up-north-2025-04-10/

I know, it's all so bizarre, and I was being a little tongue in cheek I admit!
