what does trump want?

[okzharp]

Stormy Daniels said that Trump had a "smaller than average" and "unusual" penis.

Apparently Musk had enhancement surgery and the botched penile implant resulted in a malformed penis, that's why all his kids were made in a test-tube.

Makes you think.

Never mind that by far the single biggest welfare queen is super business genius, Elon Musk.

it is cray, imagine a system that allows you to borrow shit loads of government money against the hypothetical future sale of privately-owned shares, on which you have paid zero tax, in order to fund the creation of a privately-owned entity that then secures massive governmental contracts.

This is what Trump wants

Do you see the bearded trans ladies belly dancing on the beach? Why the hell are they of Trump's vision? We know he hates... well, trans people, ladies and he's the world's worst dancer... though admittedly his position re beards is unknown.

Fuck knows. But then, how much of the stuff posted under his name is actually posted by him?

It's not just preferential loans, though, it's actual subsidies. I've heard an estimate of $8M per day.

Professional bootlickers like HMG will tell you this is "good value for money" because it helps him "generate wealth" (for himself and the other shareholders of the companies he part-owns).

Gold Card, grow up, utter Trump chunder, the clue’s in ‘gold’“

you‘ve always been able to buy your way in to the US with $250k and the easiest way with such an investments is property. Loads of Brits own gaffs in Florida, isn’t just blow ins and ‘Gold Tier’ unlocked bs

Yeah, we had the 'golden visa' thing over here which, surprisingly, the Tories ended in 2022 as part of a crackdown on 'fraud and illicit finance'.

UK scraps rich foreign investor visa scheme

Fast-track Tier 1 visas ended with immediate effect, amid concerns over fraud and security.

base urges.

Eat, avoid predators, have sex, and win the Nobel Peace Prize.

I always think Trump is pretty much without ideology. People calling him a fascist miss that point, he's not a fascist he's just an arsehole, if he bans protest or whatever it's just to make things easier for him, not part of some totalitarian vision. That's not to say that he won't bring about fascism cos he surrounds himself with whoever he deems useful and if they want to bring about a Fourth Reich while helping him he doesn't really care.

So I don't know if he wants anything but to stay out of gaol, make money and have a warm place to shit. It's the people around him who might have vision (or visions) but presumably competing ones - I mean do Musk and Bannon want the same things? Only up to a point.

At the moment it's crazy exciting, like a spinning top that has to keep moving to stay upright... you always have people talking about poll ratings etc and saying he won't last or will be impeached etc and normally you can just ignore it cos what do poll ratings matter when he never has to face another election (unless...) but the situation does feel dynamic, he could collapse or America could collapse cos they accidentally fire the people preventing that... or maybe it could all pay off and Canada becomes the 51st state.

What's crazy is his army of slavish followers who will twist themselves into any knots to justify anything he does "we have always been at war with oceania" etc which conveys a certain base level of security.

Trump has been going on about MAGA-ing for decades.

 

[IdleRich]

MAGA means MAGA

Donald Trump has threatened to slap 25 per cent tariffs on imports from the EU, as he lashed out at the bloc, saying it “was formed to screw the United States”.

another way of looking at it is anti-globalization. the spirit of the 90s finally winning out. the tariffs part of it is certainly that. pulling back from economic integration. putting up barriers to economic efficiency in pursuit of some other ideological goal

While at the same time ushering in a new era of brotherly cooperation between the US and Russia.

It's almost sweet, in a way.

It's not in pursuit of an ideological goal beyond a recognition that he is leading something called a country/nation/state and only because citizens of that country asked him to do so and so he has a duty to further their interests and the collective as a whole over the interests of people he doesn't represent.

Trump's actions are, for a politician, unusually close to his promises, so why is there confusion? Because he isn't really an ideologue beyond being roughly faithful to the constitution and to the norms of running a business. He doesn't talk about ideas very much, yet "intellectual" people think abstract ideas are a prerequisite for being "serious" and so think he's hiding his beloved ideas.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

"Intellectual" people HATE Trump's pragmatic disregard for ideas; they would rather have a leader who puts ideas on a pedestal, even to an extent that they serve as an insurmountable impediment to ending wars for instance. For "intellectuals" this intellectually assiduous failure is more noble than Trump's base corporate "transactional" deal-making.

Fuck "intellectuals"

 

[mixed_biscuits]

Obviously there are true intellectuals but they're less than 1% of the population, not 30%.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

Trump doesn't describe wars as necessarily "wrong" or "unjust" or "evil". He seems more annoyed by them for being "silly", like a teacher is annoyed by children getting mired in fruitless but also kinda intermittently inevitable bickering. He's annoyed by the waste they represent like cash thrown away on a doomed business project or a failure to spot the potential for growth in the warring population and the battlefield itself - as evidenced by Trump Gaza.

 

[IdleRich]

Trump's actions are, for a politician, unusually close to his promises, so why is there confusion?

Because previously he's been famous for lying the whole time. Telling something a bit like the truth caught everyone on the hop.

Because he isn't really an ideologue beyond being roughly faithful to the constitution

Nope, see the countless examples in recent thraads of him being absolutely against the constitution.

and to the norms of running a business.

He's not running a business though, he might as well be faulithful to the norms of a little boy playing cops and robbers. Wouldn't it be better to try and adhere to the norns of a world leader or a US president?

No they just think he's a thick lying cunt like you.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

He's done or is doing pretty much everything he had vowed to do on his website pre-election. Start noticing.

Oh, you mean those examples you can't remember.
