Summary

Seventy days into his second term, Donald Trump faces growing internal turmoil and public backlash. Allies report he’s making late-night angry calls, upset over negative press and policy setbacks.

The “Signalgate” scandal and GOP resistance to new tariffs have shaken his administration. Trump blames National Security Adviser Mike Waltz for a messaging blunder and resents criticism of his deportation efforts.

His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered.

Republicans fear economic fallout from his trade policies, raising concerns about recession and inflation.

    It will end up like brexit. Most people who voted for him will stay in the sect no matter what. When enough people finally switch to hand power back to the democrats it will be too late to simply reverse most of what Trump did and slow rebuilding will start. If Democrats elect competent leaders they will actually fix things. If not they will just continue working with what Trump left for them (like with Starmer)

    I’m supposing this dumbfuck really thought he was going to get praise for this?

    The problem is that he’s been safely ensconced in a bubble his entire fucking life. He’s Patient Zero when it comes to rich white failsons failing upwards, FFS.

    The orange cunt would have an aneurysm if only the “Press” actually treated him fairly. Instead they sane wash his bullshit, and tiptoe around him without ever using the words “Liar”, “convicted felon” or “rapist”… The press have never treated anyone so favorably, and still he whines and cries like a stuck little pig. He gets $1 billion free publicity every single day. Fuck him with a cactus. No lube ! Edit: And fuck the press! They are responsible for Drumpf!

    Thing is, he’s not doing anything. He’s just riding the train. He doesn’t understand or care about the stuff the people around him are doing. He believed them when they said it would make him beloved.

    He’s just an idiot snake oil salesman.

      If there is a god, he’s incompetent at best, and more likely, an asshole who is doing this shit on purpose.

      My dad is 60 and has had a stroke in Janurary. He’s far from perfect, but he’s been a good role model for me, made me a better person, and helped me when I realized my mom was more insane each passing day.

      This fucker is the oldest one, looks worse, is angry 24/7, and hasn’t had one.

      Life is a cruel joke.

        If god, in the christian, all-knowing and all-powerful sense even exists, she must fucking hate us, because she allowed Drumf to happen. I could never venerate a god who is that callous and spiteful.

      Been thinking about that myself, with my shitty religious upbringing. This is what god wants. And, if you’re Jewish and you’ve at least heard the phrase “god’s chosen people,” I just wonder how you square that with one of the worst people to live having killed 6 million of them. God was really looking out for the chosen people that day, let me tell ya…

      Maybe who you think god is is all wrong? Maybe it’s the other guy or girl or it who’s really in charge.
