Donald I, emperor of the world.

[cookiemonster]

However you'd like to phrase he won, bigly, landslide, just over the line.

He is President

By 1.62%.

Not bigly.

I think trump remains as idiotic, incompetent and lazy as ever, so the administration could well be as chaotic as last time, but it seems like the people pulling the strings behind him are more organised this time around, so the billionaires and far right groups behind project 25 may be more successful in advancing their agendas while trump is out on the golf course.

True and that gives Trump a problem. As I mentioned, the mid-terms are in just 2 years and he has to deliver.

He campiagned on lower prices but, if he goes through with tariffs, prices will skyrocket, giving one example.

And if prices drop that means negative inflation, something economists more than hate and send businesses into apoplexy, laying off people, cutting costs madly, etc. One of the aspects many of the public know but probably overlook is that lower inflation just means prices continue to increase, just not as quickly.

Getting rid of immigrants will be another. Who will do the domestic services that Americans will not do? Who will man the gas stations, supermarkets, drive the cabs etc.?

Just as in the UK (or, anywhere else) he does NOT have to deliver, he has to convince or fool people into believing he has delivered, and/or, have scape-goats lined up if necessary.

But our honourable friend Andy will bigly make a fuss about this to get a forum boner (taste of lib tears ... yada yada ... ). I've fed the troll enough for this week!

It doesn't matter whether he delivers on his promises to the magas, he didn't before and that didn't matter, and unless he can change the constitution, he won't be standing for election again, so they are no use to him anymore. It looks like the main agenda will be stripping the federal budget , cutting taxes for his billionaire cronies and running up the deficit.

Sounds good, unless you are an American 😊

He's already coming good on his promises

$2 billion immediately diverted from illegal immigrant projects to North Carolina for rebuilding the state.

If only we had a leader like this

We tried deluded morons as leader, it didn't go well.

PS - Those people are not flying, nor did they fly.

Given the Supreme Court has already ridden roughshod over the 14th Amendment with cases such as Dobbs which overturned Roe v Wade and Trump V Anderson, I have little doubt that plans have been in place for sometime to overturn the 2 term rule.

Like Johnson did to UK Parliament (and without consequences - so much for democracy).
