It can't last. People will realise. Surely?

He lasted the first four years.

'It' being the lunacy of the first c70 days.

Yeah, I get you. I've no real idea but he knows the game from his first term.
I'm hoping he gets bored of his political office and uses his time instead raping the US for his own financial gain while spending more time cheating at golf and giving millionaires blow jobs for 5m bucks a time.

Just in total disbelief at what is going on at the moment. Just when will someone stop this idiot?

Even more mental that he's also let Elon get a hand on the wheel. I find that absolutely crazy.

It's what you get for $300m. A bit like buying a ride on the dodgems, only for multi-billionaires.

Most of the US billionaires are in on it. The only one I have seen speak out is Mark Cuban. He is practically a pauper compared to Musk with a fortune worth $6 billion.

Portugal's defence minister appears to rule out considering F-35s as an option to replace their F-16s due to your pal and mine.

He doesn't have an ideological bone in his body, but he's been bought by those that do.

100%.

If there was such a thing as an ideology of greed that would be it. I reckon there's no bounds of his insatiable desire for material gain. I'd go as far to say the first western country to implode due to greed and corruption will be the U.S..

Every period of history has a dominant country, which had been empires until WW2, and throughout history, eventually, every dominant country has collapsed. The collapses have rarely been expected or foreseen, but it's a repeating pattern. Despite this, until recently, I had been thinking that the dominance of USA over most other nations was so great, that despite the resurgence of China, it would be very difficult for it to be toppled, especially as democracy should provide a much more stable and adaptable environment to keep a country competitive and a dictatorship less so.

However, history has also shown that all it takes is one mad ruler to take a country to the brink and then throw it off the cliff. I think Trump might prove to be that one ruler needed to drive the dominant country to the brink, but it's going to be a very close call to see if it falls down. I'm starting to think that if he stays in charge for the rest of his term, it actually might.

The writing was on the wall from his first term. It was clear he was going to create an oligarchy.

What's it going to be like after six or twelve months...

It's been flippantly mentioned before. Hard to believe that it ever got mentioned in the first place or was a thought in anybodies head.
Some times we're living in.

I may be wrong, but aren't the people most likely to start a civil war, e.g. gun nut survivalists, likely to be Trump supporters?

I think you are correct, but we've seen that state borders mean nothing when the rabble want a fight and it's Trumps less literate supporters that are going to feel the pain of his stupidity pretty quickly and react

Interesting that the film has the President with a long red tie who changed the constitution for a 3rd term.

It's the end NATO as we know it surely?

[JuniorD]

Did the North Atlantic Treaty ever contemplate one NATO member invading another NATO member?

Don’t know why anyone is surprised about Greenland. Trump is useless at keeping secrets. He is definitely putting more troops on the island and taking it over along with the Panama Canal. And eventually Canada. He lets everything slip during his press conferences. It just usually gets lost amongst all the other st that he spouts.

Turkey and Greece are both NATO members, so probably yes.

A long time ago I suggested that Trump was as big a threat to the world as Putin. I didn’t want to be right, but it looks like I may have been frighteningly close to the reality we are witnessing. Feels like a nightmare that I can’t wake up from.
