5 mind-boggling reactions to Trump’s second term

Too many voters decided to **** around by voting for Donald Trump. Just days into the Trump administration, they’re already starting to find out.� Prepare yourself for what you’re about to read.

This is what happens when people only hear what they want to hear. You feel sorry but at the same time think actions have consequences and unfortunately they are learning the hard way.

My 2 cents to the more grown up and constructive conversation on the Colombia issue in this thread:

It’s more than just import/export tarriffs - which as you point out, increase prices for Americans not Colombians.

Colombia is a critical ally for the US in Latin America, not only economically but also diplomatically and militarily.

That relationship has been built over decades to address key issues like drug and human trafficking, the rise of Communism, and other threats within the Americas.

In the context that Colombia had already been accepting hundreds of deportation flights from the US per year anyway under the Biden administration (without a trade war), this grandstanding pissing contest is the latest example of how naive and stupid the Trump administration. They couldn’t even spell Colombia correctly in their press release ffs.

Not only does it achieve nothing (did I mention Colombia were already accepting hundreds of deportation flights from the US per year anyway), if the US push away their allies hard enough and fracture those relationships, those countries will increasingly be pushed to diversify their economic and political ties to allow greater influence for countries like China and Russia - who would be licking their lips at watching this nonsense unfold.

But hey, at least insecure beta males will look at Trump pushing around minorities and less powerful countries and be super impressed by what a ‘big man’ he is. Haha. It’s f***ing pathetic. Fortunately at this stage, Colombia’s President like many other world leaders is meeting Trump’s buffoonery with calm and rationale statesmanship which I’d hope will eventually defuse this.

Can someone please psychoanalyse why they keep calling Trump “daddy”?

Think this sums it up - they are creating mayhem so you don’t know what is actually happening.

The playbook is so obvious here - Israel to have them transferred to either Egypt or Jordan then never let them back to their home once Gaza is rebuilt. Both Egypt and Jordan have rejected it out of hand and rightfully so.

The obvious answer is a two state solution but Israel will never let that occur.

Trump has had a hell of a lot of fails and embarrassments for his first seven days as POTUS.
No wonder he has headed off to his golf course.

The grand dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.

I can't wait for Trump's consequences to arrive in 4 years time when he's no longer president and the law suits still remain.

Perish the thought, but I really feel there will be consequences for the orange one before the 4 years is up...It's America after all and we know how bat shit crazy ****wits with guns can get.

Oh those nutters will want him to run for another 4 years in 2028 - nothing surer.

So funny

Yes, funny.

If you don't understand how sex development works, anyway.

Female is not the "default" and embryos don't "all start as female".

Gonadal tissue starts out undifferentiated, not female, and it then develops male or female depending on genes - which, guess what? are fixed at conception.

My 2 cents to the more grown up and constructive conversation on the Colombia issue in this thread:

Trump isn't naive he is arrogant and entitled. He is angry because he wants to use the military budget which is why he is using military aircraft. Diplomacy is a thing and I'm sure if he sat down like an adult with these countries and explained what's happening and showed respect they all would have no problem. But what he is doing is making it seem like it's Columbia's fault the USA has illegals from Columbia. It's not.

Trump's attack on Denmark i think is destined to end in tears for Trump and his administration.

He threatened war! Let's make it clear he told the Denmark Prime Minister that Denmark either sell him Greenland cheap or the USA will take it by force.

Basically under every allied deal, the USA would end up starting world war 3 and they would have no Alliance to help them. I don't think congress will allow Trump to spend trillions of dollars on his ego when he was supposed to fix the economy and immigration. Not to mention lose every Allie the USA has.

Ha!

I'm not sure what people expect. After all, these flights to a variety of South American countries have been going for years.

475 to Colombia alone in the last 4 years (including 120 last year)

I guess not really communicating with the recipient countries, sending the migrants home on military aircraft, and chaining them up hand foot is likely to result in some dismay? Perhaps

Apparently they (ICE / military) "dumped' 2 plane loads in Honduras as well. It was reported the Colombian President sent his own aircraft to repatriate them.

Brazil is also off-side. A plane load of their citizens arrived on a flight they weren't immediately aware of. The returning migrants chained hand and foot. No access to either water or ablutions during the flight. The air-con system broke in flight with a number of passengers reportedly fainting.

These flights to a variety of South American countries have been going for years? But lets piss all of our allies off to the south and start trade wars with them?

What's the point? Why is he so intent on making enemies of existing allies?

 

[adelaidecrows]

Ha!

What do you mean Ha. If they accepted deportation flights from the USA before than why is it a problem now. It's basically the assumption by the USA it's military aircraft can land wherever it likes.

He is acting like a classic power hungry dictator. Like he is entitled. If he wants the USA to be all about the USA by going down this road. The next president is going to have to spend their 4 years cleaning up a shit show.

What a bore you are.

I suppose facts can be boring compared to the exciting alternative of believing things like "we all start out as female", "sex is a spectrum" and "1.7% of the population is 'intersex'".

I'd rather be boring than believe falsehoods.

Because the previous system wasn’t working and other countries taking the piss out of the weakness of the Biden administration

Well I hope you aren’t at all similar like a MAGA individual because they believe in a whole heap of falsehoods.

Just saying something doesn’t make it so.

I know this might come as news to you but facts matter.
