Without having listened to his speech...did he happen to mention anything that he's done to "fix" the nation? Because from out here, it kind of looks like everything he's doing, is just making things worse.
Just bear in mind that whenever Trump refers to 'America' or 'the nation' he's only referring to himself. Everything makes much more sense when you remember that.
From his perspective things look better because he added gold ornamentations & embellishments to the walls in his office, and he renovated the historic Lincoln restroom in the White House and he fired everyone who would've told him he's not allowed to hire a demolition crew to tear down the east wing of the White House.
I hope he blows a gasket while straining on one of his gold-plated shitters.
That's why he was put in: to sabotage the economy, US soft power, and alliances. And who benefits? Putin, who'd be in even more rapidly accelerating free-fall without all of Trump's help.
He claimed that all these tariffs will cause just a ton of companies to build big factories all of a sudden next year.
He claimed that getting all those Hispanics out will mean more jobs and houses for the rest.
Basically that everything they've done is right, and depending on which minute he is speaking the economy is already great and everyone is lying about it or it's bad but only because of Biden but in 2026 everything he did will finally work.
They've evidently already made the call that millions of people losing healthcare is a small enough percentage to not worry about. I've been presuming that they would pull off a seemingly better circumstance by temporarily unwinding their worst policies, but they may be actually true believers...
He banned food coloring... I think. And got more Americans to stop blindly following the DNC. Besides that.... Not much.
Haven't you seen? He's rounding up all the foreigners, anyone else he deems "other", and picking a fight with Venezuela. What more could you possibly want him to do?
Gut international aid?
Shut down the education department?
Remove science from the centre for disease control?
Use the media regulator to pressure and shut down dissenting voices?
Threaten universities?
Deploy troops on the streets?
He's doing these things already. America will be great again™ in no time!
/s
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault. <-- you are here
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
Glad he didn't announce anything heinous, just the usual BS. Biden must be rolling over in his grave.
You got me there I was like “woah did Biden die and I completely missed it?”
You and him both
I think he's gonna start making a lot of noise...
Hell keep doing this "big announcement coming" stuff, and then just not have anything. The goal to fatigue everyone from the news. Get them excited and let down over and over
Like if instead of a boy who cried a wolf, it was a wolf crying wolf till no one believes anyone else.
That was...interesting. I'm Canadian, it's not my place to comment as it has to do with American internal politics. I will say it was an absolute assault on the senses anyways. I've never heard a politician lay claim to so many feats, like I think this guy just claimed he's gone more than all the presidents combined, solved every war and completely solved the economy. That's quite a bold claim!
As an outsider, you have a different perspective and your comment absolutely has a place regarding US politics. You don't have to live here to hear the dumb shit that he says and to know how fucking absurd and stupid it is. I would argue that an outside perspective, if taken with and is accurate to current context, carries more weight than 35+% of US opinions. Especially being geographically near by, which seems less and less relevant as this dumb mother fucker keeps talking and bombing Venezuelans, I think the state of US politics is significant in the state of your country.
Best of luck Canada. Fight the fascism. Fuck this turd.
Yeah, as an American, every other country has a right to speak their mind on our politics. The bullshit that the US constantly pulls affects every single person on the planet via knock on effects. The countries closest to us are being deeply affected by the insanity that US leadership is currently undertaking, and their opinions deserve to be heard.
As one of our nice neighbors (Canada & Mexico), you have every right to weigh in, as his actions effect you as well.
Do we have any non-nice neighbors? Before he pissed off Venezuela, I mean.
I think basically everyone out to the russian and chinese borders were, if not cool with us, at least happy to be non-aggressive and accommodating. And this was the plan all along, to have a big "friendly border zone" around us. It was working pretty good!
I meant as "next door neighbors" and we only have two. But at this point our horrid criminal "president" has alienated every global neighbor we could ever have.
I America has outsized influence, particularly on its direct neighbors, so you commenting on American politics is totally appropriate. In fact, we need all the criticism we can get in order to make the stupid half realize what fuck ups the Republicans are, and what the worldwide consequences are. They only really understand the most caustic and mean language, so feel free to pile it on.
No, please, do feel free to comment on American politics as a foreigner. We nonstop cram this shit down your throat whether you want to listen to it or not, so you deserve to have an opinion on how batshit crazy this all looks from the outside looking in.
I thought he was going to fix the economy on 'day one'. [looks at watch]
Juiced up President rather vent on TV than truth social because shit hits the fan in two days, like the world has never seen before.
That's basically what I got from this.
Did he release the Epstein files?
Trump the Unaccountable.
Blaming everyone for his failures brought upon by his executive decisions.
"Who shit my pants!?!"
The rot sent in when Trump got into office. The data shows that clearly. The Dems should be highlighting all his weak excuses and low-effort attempts at blame-shifting. Hang this crap economy right around Trump's neck where it belongs.
And remember that, excluding the AI bubble, there has been essentially no economic growth at all lately. Well, 0.1%.
Well I can't even listen to the motherfucker so thank you for the sum up, about what I figured. I can't believe he made a national address to say that he wasn't the one who farted and trying to blame it on the dog. Fucking hell.
That's a 10/10 headline, no notes
Did he say anything of actual consequence or was it just an old man venting?
Think about all the bingo "buzz words" and then say bingo. He said everything from Biden to the fuckin kitchen sink.
Oh and he said Bitcoin for the troops or something like that, as known as a "bribe".
His last chance to address his national underlings with more lies until tomorrow when the Epstein files are either released or hidden by the DOJ. I fear for what kind of distraction he will use once the compost finally hits the Cuisinart.
From the guy who just heard the word "affordability" for the first time in his life the other week. Sure.
I thought everything was great and the affordability issue was a democratic hoax?
Thanks Obama
Oh, FFS, Donvict is such a limpdick.
This economy had all the right indicators last year and this stooge inherited one of the best situations a President has ever been handed. Then, he and all his morons completely fucked it all up.
And still: about 30-some percent of this country cannot see what is plain as the nose on your face...and still support this complete dumbass.
At least a little party never hurt anybody. You always have your precious Epstein Ballroom to look forward to.
Yeah, no. Biden came in and (somewhat) fixed your first shitshow, then your pettiness drove you to tear it down even faster this time. I hope the approval rating continues to fall, even among the MAGA faithful. I hope no one gives a fuck about him by the time he's out of office.
He’s been president just under a year and still blames Biden. That is crazy work and the fact people eat it up is a serious problem. Single issue voters are single handedly destroying our country. You can’t even blame MAGA because they represent only about 25% of voters which is still sad but typical.
It’s the other 28% of voters, the anti Israel, anti abortion, anti immigration that don’t care about ANYTHING except that one issue. It also doesn’t help that democrats platform does not represent anyone because their policy is all over place. The reason educated people tend to vote democrat is because they understand policy as a whole and don’t really have a choice but to vote blue thanks to the two party system.
An ignorant, egotistical, emotionally stunted dotard rambles incoherently for 20 minutes. He controls the nuclear codes.
The media sticks their finger in their collective ear and goes "La La La."
Yes, It finally happened: I'm done with this.
From now on I'm going to be amused by our country and its tolerance (...or even respect!) for lying fascists. buys popcorn and waits for recolonisation
