Summary
Seventy days into his second term, Donald Trump faces growing internal turmoil and public backlash. Allies report he’s making late-night angry calls, upset over negative press and policy setbacks.
The “Signalgate” scandal and GOP resistance to new tariffs have shaken his administration. Trump blames National Security Adviser Mike Waltz for a messaging blunder and resents criticism of his deportation efforts.
His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered.
Republicans fear economic fallout from his trade policies, raising concerns about recession and inflation.
He is surprised that he’s getting bad press. That’s how stupid Trump is. Not only does he think the things he’s doing are good ideas, he legitimately thinks people will actually praise him for doing it.
Trump doesn’t have friends; he has lackeys and people who want to gain something by getting in his favor. Others follow and agree with him out of fear of retaliation.
And the media is playing softball with him. This is the media not calling him out on all his bullshit.
Exactly. If we actually had a real oppositional “liberal media”, they’d be tearing this asshat a new one for his dumbfuckery.
I thought he would’ve been impeached by now. I am a bit surprised he hasn’t been.
Well he has been twice so they tried I guess.
By the Republicans? Pull the other one, it’s got bells on.
By anyone. It’s not like democrats were particularly interested.
The owners of the media are not on our side.
But Trump is starting to hurt their treasure hordes.
The orange cunt would have an aneurysm if only the “Press” actually treated him fairly. Instead they sane wash his bullshit, and tiptoe around him without ever using the words “Liar”, “convicted felon” or “rapist”… The press have never treated anyone so favorably, and still he whines and cries like a stuck little pig. He gets $1 billion free publicity every single day. Fuck him with a cactus. No lube ! Edit: And fuck the press! They are responsible for Drumpf!
Leave the poor cactus out of this. This is why man invented angle grinders.
What about providing him gympie-gympie toilet paper?
D. moroides is notorious for its extremely painful sting which may leave victims suffering for weeks or even months. It is reputed to be the most venomous plant in Australia, if not the world.
…
The trichomes stay in the skin for up to a year, and release the toxin cocktail into the body during triggering events such as touching the affected area, contact with water, or temperature changes.
3 words: Gympie-Gympie enema
Mea culpa! I bow to the almighty angle grinders!
a cholla cactus.
MSM heavily benefited from trump being center of attention, and most of them are owned by conservatives anyways. just like fb, youtube, reddit right wing gaffes drives traffic.
Time to make their actions criminal imo, although that is just a pipedream currently. They are all traitors.
If we ever get out of this mess and have our own version of the Nuremberg trials I hope to see many media execs and on-air personalities (obviously especially but not limited to those of Fox News) hanged for their part in all of this.
Amen, bro !
The fact that McHitler hasn’t stroked out by now is all the proof I really need to say that there is no god directing all this shit.
Around 13,000 children under the age of 5 die every day. I’d love to see god explain that lol
Lucifer: I’m not in the business of murdering innocent children. That’s God’s jurisdiction.
- The Devil’s Carnival
“I work in mysterious ways.”
- God (probably)
“We didn’t start the fire. It’s always been burning since the world’s been turning…”
God: “No, yeah, that was me. I started it. Flicked over the first domino. Still watching the picture unfold. Quite the sight, wish you could see it.”
Been thinking about that myself, with my shitty religious upbringing. This is what god wants. And, if you’re Jewish and you’ve at least heard the phrase “god’s chosen people,” I just wonder how you square that with one of the worst people to live having killed 6 million of them. God was really looking out for the chosen people that day, let me tell ya…
My ex, who is Jewish, told me “chosen” is more like “singled out.”
My dad is 60 and has had a stroke in Janurary. He’s far from perfect, but he’s been a good role model for me, made me a better person, and helped me when I realized my mom was more insane each passing day.
This fucker is the oldest one, looks worse, is angry 24/7, and hasn’t had one.
Life is a cruel joke.
God realized they fucked up with all us uppity hyper-hierarchical monkeys and is going for a hard reset, or never existed. Change my mind.
If god, in the christian, all-knowing and all-powerful sense even exists, she must fucking hate us, because she allowed Drumf to happen. I could never venerate a god who is that callous and spiteful.
He - and if there is a God, I am convinced he is a he, because no woman could or would ever fuck things up this badly.
St. George Carlin
LOL. What a treasure !
Maybe who you think god is is all wrong? Maybe it’s the other guy or girl or it who’s really in charge.
If there is a god, he’s incompetent at best, and more likely, an asshole who is doing this shit on purpose.
Maybe God isnt all powerful and is forced to watch all she made kill itself over and over in ever more savage ways.
God realized how badly She fucked up and died of Chrstian pity.
Unless Trump is the antichrist, then God intended for it to happen.
hes a low-level demon escaped from hell, anti-christ would have been able to warp reality one of the key feature of its powers
He’s able to do that for 1/3 of the US population.
The only justice in this world is the justice we make.
“friends” you keep using this word but I’m not sure you know what it means.
People close to him have stated they loathe him. What they love is money and power. Nobody that knows him truly cares about him.
Maybe everybody is just tired from all the winning?
He has two options: 1) Stop doing stupid shit, or 2) Destroy the media, replace it with propaganda outlets.
Guess which one he’ll do.
You forgot #3, do something else crazy to try and distract from this failure. But #2 is definitely in the cards as well.
#2 is happening, but it’s too hard for Trump - fortunately for him there are people with their own agendas to do it for him. #3 is his only move because he can’t conceive of a better strategy.
People with their own agendas = opportunists who can see that Trump is 78 years old
Henry Kissinger lived to 100 …

They’ll have him killed if his lifestyle doesn’t do it for them. He’s only alive as long as he’s useful to them.
as putin sees fit.
What’s more interesting is what happens to Trump and his goons if Putin predeceases him. What will the puppet do when the strings are cut?
They are hoping to squeeze 2 years out of Trump, so they can give Vance two terms instead of one.
Oh, to be a ketchup stain on the wall…
It’s probably like this downfall scene, except with dementia and pants-shitting.
100%
And Hitler was known for sharing the contents of his bowels.
Literally Shitler
Who knew that hiring people based on how much they suck up to you would mean that everyone on your team (including yourself) is incompetent?
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
I mean, it’s worked for him in the private sector. Didn’t scale up.
But it didn’t even work for him in the private sector. See his lack of casinos.
He also seemingly selected some of them by watching what they did on the TeeVee. I guess he thought that’s pretty much how HE got there, since he had that stupid game show, so…
I’m supposing this dumbfuck really thought he was going to get praise for this?
The problem is that he’s been safely ensconced in a bubble his entire fucking life. He’s Patient Zero when it comes to rich white failsons failing upwards, FFS.
He thought he could make more fake deals and get good press, but the nihilist tech bro backed death cult had other ideas.
yeah some progressive senator/rep was saying this was actually 10d chess on trump’s part to extract concessions from industries in exchange for tariff relief, and, maybe, but also, you know, there is the other explanation
this was actually 10d chess on trump’s part to extract concessions
It’s called a shakedown. Instead of actually talking to someone, start by threatening them then extract concessions. Best deal maker ever
His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered?
What plans? He’s not even tried to do either one in even a meaningless, symbolic way.
Well he did yell at Zelensky?
For real, what a braindead (at best) thing to say. His attempts to ethnically cleanse Palestine and build resorts on the coast, and his attempts to steal mineral wealth from Ukraine while under brutal attack by Russia, those attempts have faltered? Yeah, thankfully they have, I’m sure he’s still trying though.
I’m so tired of all the “reasonable language” used for this administration. It just amounts to flat out lying to avoid upsetting the very worst fucking people. Again - at best - that’s me being charitable, there are even worse motivations than that of course.
his son-in law of his daughter he lusts, kushner has planned real estate there too.
I’m so fucking tired of the incessant sane-washing. Just constant gaslighting from all sides to make me feel crazy for freaking out about this shit. I’m sick of it
Be fair. He tried nothing and is all out of ideas.
His plan was to pressure them the way he’s used to pressuring people in his business dealings. The only problem is that countries like Ukraine aren’t just businesses that he can stiff, drag to court, etc.
His attempt was a concept of a plan.
His plans were to reward the aggressors and try to grab a piece of the carcass from the other vultures.
It will end up like brexit. Most people who voted for him will stay in the sect no matter what. When enough people finally switch to hand power back to the democrats it will be too late to simply reverse most of what Trump did and slow rebuilding will start. If Democrats elect competent leaders they will actually fix things. If not they will just continue working with what Trump left for them (like with Starmer)
Brexit is like herpes. It just keeps on giving.
and slow rebuilding will start.
And then Democratic voters will get complacent, or get all pissy about how their pet project for change isn’t getting enough attention fast enough, and not vote the next time leading to a Republican getting back in office BECAUSE SURELY THAT WILL HELP THEIR FUCKING PRECIOUS INTERESTS. It worked out so~ well this past Fall, didn’t it? Nothing at all~ to be concerned about, worried about, uncertain about, or terrified about now.
If Democrats elect competent leaders
Pelosi and Schumer, and all their fanbois (people listening to them even when they aren’t in office), would need to go.
I wonder just how bad things will have to get for a most people to vote.
I can only hope that democrats learn that no matter how bad the republican candidate is or how bad their outward plans they need to run a popular person.
It’s been proven there is not a Republican candidate bad enough to make people vote for their interests.
This is just how he is. He did the same in his first term. If you took away anger and resentment, he wouldn’t have a lot else left in his life.
I also love how he ran as a reformer candidate, as if we didn’t have 4 years of evidence of him accomplishing nothing of value for his voters. Social media and 24/7 news have given us all goldfish memories.
It breaks my brain that people voted for him to help the economy. Without even getting into how bad conservatives are for the economy, Trump’s first term had crazy high inflation, job loss, and economic crashes. Why would his second term miraculously be the solution to fixing the problems he started?
And all he had to do was shut up, and take credit for the federal apparatchik doing all the work for him with COVID. Blather at a press conference to his followers to stay home and ‘beat the China virus so America stays strong’ - and then play golf. Push on industry and suppliers to build ventilators, hospital capacity, and facilitate lockdowns and remote school/work.
Imagine if instead of nearly a million direct deaths, we had a mortality similar to Europe - better even as we bought our way to the front of the vaccine line. An actual ‘America first’ in recovery from COVID and the economic slowdown, instead of fumbling the ball so hard in his fourth year and making Biden president.
How anyone thought that he would be the right choice to manage any crisis, let alone economic woes is dumbfounding. The ‘smartest person’ in every room he enters, he’s incapable of anyone else to having the right answer.
The ‘smartest person’ in every room he enters, he’s incapable of anyone else to having the right answer.
I’ve always been told that the aim would be to to find people SMARTER than you with more education and experience and expertise than you, and surround yourself with such people, but a whole lot of people in dumbfuckistan seem to think that being a loudmouth bragging and bloviating idiot who has surrounded himself with lots of people who are even dumber and/or more inexperienced and/or too afraid to speak up is a great model for “leadership”.
People with dumbfuckistan mindset hate seeing someone smarter than themselves; they call this being “elite”. For some reason, people don’t feel the same way about athletics as they do politics. People don’t think you should put “outsiders” into their favorite sportsball team, they want elite athletes. Somehow, that’s not elitist. But having the smartest people running a government - well, that’s just elitist talk.
Boggles the mind.
Absolutely. My best learning experiences in life - both collaborative like mentoring/educational setting, or competitive like sports - have been when I was massively outclassed. Because if you put aside your lizard-brain feelings of being less than or inferior and listen/observe, you can see how it’s working for them and understand what it is you are/aren’t doing or do/don’t know.
Observe. Ask. Understand. Decide… and Review.
But humility is understated. It doesn’t sell on TV, it doesn’t captivate a crowd or rally the masses. “I don’t have the answer, but let’s find out” is honest but doesn’t have the same pull as “the problem is clear, and I know the solution”
Because something something “Bidenflation” and “Republican gud aht bidness, he billionaire”.
People are just very fucking stupid.
he wouldn’t have a lot else left in his life.
He would still have his diapers.
That put a smile on my face, thanks :)
