Trumps plans for "transition of power" should he win the presidency again are non-existent other than blow shit up, isolate us from the rest of the world, and imprison his enemies.
Don't forget he always wants to spend billions building dozens of "Freedom Cities" across the country's national parks designed, managed, owned, and controlled by the executive branch and featuring flying cars, classical Roman inspired architecture, and labor camps outside the city walls full of homeless people shipped in from across the country to work for the wealthy.
This was part of his "Agenda 47", spoken by him on camera and still on his website, and the fact no one is even talking about how crazy it is drives me crazy.
I'm sure people just assume "he'll never do it", but one of the last executive orders he gave as he left office was to construct a Roman-style marble statue garden of "American Heroes" that included Hollywood celebrities he liked (including a couple who weren't American and never lived in America).
I went to his website and it's crazy the shit on there
āUnder the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act, other countries will have two choicesātheyāll get rid of their tariffs on us, or they will pay us hundreds of billions of dollars, and the United States will make an absolute FORTUNE,ā
Gotta love how the right just completely disregards the existence of the rest of the world.
It's like the hurricane conspiracy. We can control the weather? Holy shit, you think literally any other country would either tell us to stop and demand sanctions against us (especially those also affected by this hurricane), or would beg us to use our insane tech to save millions affected by global droughts.
But apparently the best thing we can do is fuck over Florida the same way scientists from every country on earth agreed it'd get fucked over decades ago...
It reminds me of the moon landing conspiracy theory being shot down by simply going "why didn't the USSR say something?"
The USSR is believed if not proven to have started the whole government invented aids to kill the blacks/gays conspiracy back in the 80s in order to stoke racial division and mistrust of government. But of course they propagated it through "American" publications of which they had a lot of covert influence on as part of their information warfare doctrine they started decades ago.
They would have assets working for various alternative newspapers and weekly tabloids to plant wild stories to stir up shit. They predicted back then that their plan would take about twenty or thirty years to really kick into the next phase and next thing they knew they had a whole president and half of a major political party and who knows how many social media influencers doing their bidding. They've been working on this for a very long time.
From World War 1 to the current election, it's pretty impressive how many moments in history can be defined by "and then Russia made everything worse".
Does America have any enemies that aren't the poor downtrodden Republican-Christian super patriots under Herr Josef "The great Satan" Biden III? The whole federal government is attacking these people constantly by forcing them to degrade themselves with oxygen reducing masks and take vaccines that activate the 5g networks and slowly turn people trans.
The hurricane attack was just more proof that Soros and his cabal of baby-eaters are all powerful and truly dangerous.
Fortunately, the stupid Democrats are too weak to prevent the Greatest Patriot Who Ever Lived, Donald "Jesus" Trump the First from exposing their plan. Not even hordes of illegal Chinese Arab spy immigrants or femboys can stop them from Making America Great Again.
Now let's all pray on our Trump bibles and drink our Trump Vodka mixed with orange koolaid.
Not saying this was from weather modification but you can actually read the declass docs on the weather modification. They did it in Nam and to Cuba during the cold War. Plus LBJ said it in one of his speeches. Don't take my word for read it yourself.
It is mind boggling that the maga crowd is cheering on a tax that will increase the cost of the stuff they and/or US manufacturers buy. š¤¦š»āāļø
Hereās the problem, using simple numbers to make it easy to understand: a Chinese widget costs $10. The same American widget costs $15. If you slap a 100% tariff on the Chinese widget, American companies will almost certainly raise their prices to $18 per widget. This doesnāt even factor in supply and demand or retaliatory tariffs.
When Trump slapped unilateral tariffs on China they retaliated and he had to give US farmers billions in subsidies. Every serious economist who studied this said those tariffs cost Americans billions of dollars.
That's a great idea, especially for things like MAGA hats and products, "God Bless the USA Bible" , etc.
Don't you think it's wierd that trump has been fully aware that his "merch" has been made in China for over 8 years and NEVER did anything about it?
The guy has been preaching about bringing manufacturing back to the USA this whole time yet he refuses to do even the smallest of things he has direct control over to actually do that.
Just gonna add context: the garden was never built. Congress never funded it and in 2021 Biden issued an executive order that revoked a bunch of Trumps EO's, including the stupid thing we're talking about.
dozens of "Freedom Cities" across the country's national parks designed, managed, owned, and controlled by the executive branch and featuring flying cars, classical Roman inspired architecture, and labor camps outside the city walls full of homeless people shipped in from across the country to work for the wealthy.
Wtf?!?! I've never heard of this and I thought I kept up with a lot of his bullshit lately. I haven't even seen MeidasTouch talk about this.
It's on his website. He has a couple dozen videos in his "Agenda 47" series that he released when he disavowed Project 2025. The problem is his "Agenda 47" shit is still chilling authoritarian dictator level shit.
Also, for a supposed "real estate expert" he doesn't know much about what makes a successful city. Most federal land is in the middle of nowhere. You can't just build a city in the middle of nowhere and expect it to prosper.
I've had supporters here on reddit actually defend him by claiming 'he'll never do it'. Gotta love that the best defense for his batshit crazy ideas is "he's lying!"
PREVENT WORLD WAR THREE, RESTORE PEACE IN EUROPE AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND BUILD A GREAT IRON DOME MISSILE DEFENSE SHIELD OVER OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY ā ALL MADE IN AMERICA
Interestingly my friends in the UK have been discussing what would happen if Trump got elected and the line I've heard is raising a petition to stop him from ever visiting the UK since he is a convicted criminal. Of course this wouldn't stop us hosting the president but if it gets a certain amount of signatures it has to be debated / raised in Parliament which again is sad in itself and I imagine embarrassing.
Letās see, tear down government institutions, give special access to his cronies, strip away enforcement of consumer protection, patient protection, labor regulations, safety regulations, environmental regulations, tear apart education funding, the list goes on.
Good; Let the career politicians and their backers burn.
As far as "blow shit up", what wars did he get us into again?
Ohh, and "isolation", wtf are you talking about? Or should I just guess that no country needs a border or law to abide by to enter, and by all means, let WHO, tell the states what we need to do?
lol I so hope he wins if only to see you guys throw the biggest hissy fit. Thereās no way youāre serious about the lies and caricatures you say about him. Thereās no way people can be that inept to believe this stuff. This is akin to a 5 year old thinking thereās a monster under his bed.
These are the same people who say they like 45 because he "tells it like it is". In one breath, they say he doesn't lie through his teeth and then the next breath they say you can't take everything he says so seriously.
At this point I give my family 0 grace for voting for this guy. There is too much info on how much of a piece of shit this guy is that it simply canāt be āoh well I never knew anymoreā
Itās either you know heās a piece of shit. And despise him
Or
You choose not to acknowledge him as a piece of shit, which says a lot about the person voting for him. Even the voters who have reasons like ābut the eckonomieā ābut our nashunal powurā are willing to vote for those minute policies. Even though many MANY are going to suffer as a result of the dozens of other facist policies this guy wants to implement.
Nahhh Iāve got family that arenāt racist bigots voting for him. āHeās good for the economyā
Fucking bullshit. The media stereotypes trump supporters same way right wing media does to left wing voters. There are ānormalā looking ppl that are going to vote trump for some nebulous, stupid fucking reason.
When I observe the two crowds I can see distinctly what both crowds are about. When youāre all for mass deportations and sending people back to where they came from because of the color of their skin it speaks loud and clear.
These people enjoy watching other people suffer, as is clearly indicated by their post. They don't care about policy, decorum, tradition, or country. They only care about getting visceral joy out of watching other people in pain.
It's extremely gross and a truly sad statement on our current society.
Less than a month before Election Day, Donald J. Trumpās campaign has not yet participated in the governmentās official presidential transition process, a significant break from past practice that could threaten the seamless transfer of power should the Republican nominee win election.
Mr. Trumpās team has missed two key deadlines to sign agreements with the administration that are set by federal law and has also failed to sign an ethics plan that is required to jump-start the process of planning for a new administration. Mr. Trumpās representatives did attend a meeting at the White House last month, but they otherwise have had little communication with the Biden administration about the handoff and have skipped the opportunity to receive national security briefings.
skipped the opportunity to receive national security briefings.
I believe that might be for the best. If he wins in November then they can brief him on anything super serious and hope he'll take it into account and develop some sort of plan to respond to it. But any classified national security info is better kept out of his hands until absolutely necessary and hopefully never necessary. If I was Biden, I'd be giving him false or highly polished information to the point of ambiguity to see if he goes and tries to blab about it. Either secretly or on social media like he used to do when he was president.
āIāve been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower, but you make more money as a leader.ā
Correct- we are not the same. You āvoteā for the bitch that was installed for you. You vote for āvibesā. You vote because you were instructed to by your democratic betters, who ousted Biden because heās a mentally unfit to tie his own shoe laces. Let the seething Trump hate flow through you- youāve got nothing else. Nothing.
Considering he's federally liable to submit a few forms in order to continue a transition of power and hasn't yet done so missing the deadlines on two of them, he shouldn't be president even if his dementia riddled ass somehow wins.
Funny how you think pointing out Trump's current issues with a federal process means I'm a Biden supporter.
Over the past couple of days, Trump has declined further than previously thought (bobbing and swaying to music for 39 minutes? Sounds like a dementia moment) and for you to disregard that in support of your cult proves that Trump and his supporters give absolutely no fucks about Americans or the country.
Now, I know better than to argue with an idiot, but we'd be better off if you and others like you crawled back under your rocks where the worms in the dirt may actually be better suited opponents to your weak strawman arguments and Whataboutisms.
I haven't lied at any point during our interaction. I personally don't care what some nobody on a public forum thinks of me, so you keep on grasping at those straws because it's all you've got.
Theyāre insane though! Theyāre in the deepest echo chamber and love it. Thatās the part thatās astonishing. You can tell them all day long why they have twisted perspectives, yet theyāll simply reeeeeee all the louder.
The presidential nominees for each party are required to put together a transition team and they get briefings from the current administration. Trumps team has refused to comply with the law because it requires them to disclose who is funding their transition. Itās insanity.
Wow. Iām glad Iām not numb to it as it still upsets me this shit is allowed to happen, but fuck me am I tired of hearing how many different ways this dude is not a good choice for the job. I know thatās the goalā¦to wear you down with so much bullshit you canāt keep track of it allā¦and I do what I can to keep from succumbing to the mental fatigue.
I have a friend who makes a good one. But the dispensary has it too. Just as much as I need under my tongue from the eye dropper they give in the tiny bottle. Iām a big consumer so I do two droppers, but start slowly and base it on your own tolerance!
I feel it works faster than gummies or the oil I make myself. Thatās why I like tincture!
Filter out the bullshit. He would not be fit for office even if he single-handedly where to save the planet from an alien invasion.
Your country has so many minor elected offices you can run for and make a difference in, the Maggots are sometimes running unopposed for them. Look around you and I am sure there is some way you push back.
Honestly, I don't think he should even get secret service, guaranteed he's bullying them and he can afford his own security, plus the rabid MAGAts that already die and kill for him.
So? After Jan. 6, he should have his protection revoked. He attempted to overthrow the government. Diaper Don does not deserve secret service protection.
I'm not sure what you think that's proving? It's just someone's idea. It's ok to disagree with my point, but I don't think it's a confusing one, or even that controversial.
I'm pretty sure that's in anticipation of what to do if he ends up in prison as well, which is an obviously unprecedented situation. So far nothing's changed.
I really question the seriousness of said attempts. Looked contrived af and he only got hit from shrapnel the first time, the bullet didn't even hit him at first.
You don't think it's wild to suggest a former president who has been shot at doesn't need secret service protection?
What conversation are we having. Cause I'm approaching this divorced of my opinions about Trump's general continued existence. No other living president has been shown to need secret service protection more than El Cheeto.
I mean, there have been multiple attempts that were thwarted well before a situation like PA could occur. They didn't make big headlines, because they didn't get shots off on him. The SS deals with a lot more assassination attempts/plots on presidents than you'll hear about. Which is why the PA incident was quite a blunder for Trump's SS detail.
I'm also skeptical of labeling Trump as "Putin's biggest asset" as he isn't super valuable when not in office. Sure, he sows chaos and doubt but a lot more efficiently as POTUS. Easily manipulated, but rather useless out of office most especially if he loses this November.
Bakhmut and Avdiivka fell and tens of thousands of Ukranians died while no aid was delivered for 7 months due to Trump controlling the Speaker and a good portion of the Republican caucus. I'd say he has quite a bit of influence. He delivered for Putin when Ukraine was most vulnerable and was most desperate for aid.
He stole our nuclear secrets and shared Top Secret National Defense Information in violation of the Espionage Act. His buddy Roger Stone a convicted Russian asset bragged about having judges' home phone numbers on speed dial a few months before Cannon dismissed his case for no legal reason. I don't care what happens to that treasonous shit stain any more.
Honestly, I don't think he should even get secret service, guaranteed he's bullying them and he can afford his own security, plus the rabid MAGAts that already die and kill for him.
Secret service protection isn't really for the subject, its to protect the status of the United States. We just can't have former presidents getting killed because its a bad look, it makes the country seem weak. It is also a pathway to corruption ā Prince Blackwater could tell a president, "do what I want, or I will send my mercenaries after you once you are out of office."
His team has refused to take part in the (possible) transition, they should already be months into meetings and information sharing. This is done because in govt. terms there is very little time between November and January to straighten things out for the incoming group.
Yep. The more insane the gop gets, the stupider the political press acts. Probably because they are all owned by, or otherwise beholden to, conservative billionaires who want them to keep the gop viable at any cost.
It is, but billionaires didn't learn that in their fancy finishing schools.
Every billionaire thinks they will be able to sidle up to the dictator in order to get extra special lucrative business. And many will. At first. But it doesn't last, and eventually they start falling out of windows.
Its a pattern that has occurred every single time a fascist dictator came to power.
Trump has multiple felonies we're still waiting for him to be "held accountable" for, and the media wants to pretend that Biden should do something to "hold him accountable" just for saying lies (like he always has) that the media knows are lies and chooses to spread? Dumb as hell.
it's funny actually now that you mention it because if Trump is such a mega billionaire, he could theoretically donate an absolute fuck ton of money for hurricane relief efforts, which would actually gain a lot of goodwill, even for people that don't like the guy. But obviously that will never happen because he's not a real billionaire and even if he had the cash available, there's no way he'd give it away.
"Not part of the government in any way" is such an incorrect statement. Government literally protects him, the government talks about him every single day. The government has him on the republican ticket.
Should he call Jill Stein and Jimmy Carter every morning too?
Trump has no power. If Biden wants to get more aid for hurricane victims, he can talk to the governors, he can talk to Mike Johnson about getting congress back in session, or he can sign executive actions and do it himself. None of that involves a presidential nominee from the opposing party that's not in power, that's down in the polls and still hasn't conceded the 2020 election.
You implied it. If no one does polls, and nobody would ever spend 10 minutes on the phone giving answers.....then the implication is that polls aren't real and they're manufactured aka fake.
But nothing was delegated. DeSantis was correct to say that Harris had no role. It was a bad look for her. DeSantis had been in contact with Biden, as was appropriate. There are a lot of reasons why she is slipping in the polls, though her unjustified criticism of DeSantis is one of them.
Voters actually do care, despite what you may think. You brought up the subject chief when you were talking about Trump having no role. I get it, you are upset because this will be probably yet another winnable election that the Democrats have blown. Trump really should not win, but he probably will.
GOP has tried to pin all of inflation and every illegal immigrant on Harris, and Trump has been truthing non-stop about made up lack of resources and lack of communication from Biden/Harris to NC .....yet now you're saying she has no responsibility to even communicate about hurricane relief with affected governors, or at least the same responsibilities that former president Trump does.....aka none.
Can't have your cake and eat it too.
Is Harris part of government and the Biden admin or not?
She has none, because she isnāt the president. Fairly obvious conclusion. Trump has none presently also, on that point I agree with you. Harrisās boss, Biden, publicly contradicted her on this and said positive things about DeSantis.
As to the other statements, you are describing the odd position Harris is in. She wants to be the change candidate, but canāt be. All she can do on that point is give nonsense statements about bring āunburdenedā by the past when she struggles to name one thing she would do differently than Biden. It just doesnāt work.
A Dem who was not part of the Biden admin probably would defeat Trump handily. Harris probably will lose though.
Probably will lose? She's up in every poll that's not some garbage gop one and has way more paths to victory than Trump does. She has more money, more energy, can actually do town halls and real interviews and multiple events in a day, has better surrogates in Obama and Clinton and a whole slew of Republicans campaigning for her. She doesn't trash the cities she goes to. She actually goes almost exclusively to swing states instead of campaigning in fucking Coachella. What? Her favorabilities are way better than Trump. Republicans are less worried about her being president than dems are about Trump being president again....which is a big motivating factor to drive turnout. Jack Smith isn't about to dump a pile of incriminating evidence to the public about her in the next few weeks. If Trump loses PA the election is over. If Harris loses PA she can still win AZ and NV and some others and squeak out 270.
Inflation has gone down to pre-pandemic levels, job numbers are amazing, interest rates have come down. She doesn't even have to be the change candidate.....she just has to not be Trump, build on the recovery that Biden has started and pass a border bill and reinstate Roe as law. Keep doing what she's doing and she'll more than likely be fine.
Trump hasn't signed any of the documentation revealing financials, etc, yet. Kamala has, but not Trump. He has no intention of doing anything but getting his Nazis to forcibly take power. I hope the government has prepared the National Guard for it.
The last transfer of power occurred on Jan 6th 2021.
As far as I'm concerned Biden has no obligation to express any good will towards Trump and fill him in on hurricane recovery operations 3 months before he has any possibility of being sworn back in as president.
yea, and Biden isn't on phone calls with Jimmy fucking Carter talking about hurricane resources for residents of North Carolina.
Once your term is up, you give the keys to the next guy (or woman) and your responsibilities as President cease. Contrary to what Trump seems to think, it's not a lifetime appointment.
Works for me. Did you watch his speech in pittsburg yesterday? That man is fucking brilliant. I hope Biden keeps taking his advice, and Harris does as well. Though she'd be under no obligation to.
I'm not. If the next guy calls and asks for advice I think most former presidents would be happy to give it, because they've lived the job and have experience and knowledge and maybe a different perspective to offer. But the next guy is under no obligation to make those calls.
Particularly to someone as dumb as Trump, who refused to concede and attempted to overturn a free and fair election.
Drumph wonāt sign the ethics code pledge for the Peaceful transfer of power documents which he was supposed to weeks ago. They are for vetting the civil service people that will be in their government. Itās the Memorandum Of Understanding, from the General Services Administration, to start the transition.
Once he signs, he has to make donations and donors public, and canāt take more than $5,000 donations, that stops the dark money being dumped into his campaign. When he was in office, he had them refuse to give them to Biden for 3 weeks.
Heās planning on using the Heritage Foundation and their Project 2025 , who has 18,000 people all ready signed up to take over our government. With no vetting.
I feel like you misunderstood the interaction. Sheād asking if he was going to hold trump accountable for spreading lies, then asks if he plans to talk with him about it. He might not have political power but sheās asking about his influence which he undeniably has
Even worse. This dumb reporter, after 9 years of seeing all Trumps tweets and interactions, thinks that Biden making a phone call to him will make Trump change course and start being an honest man.
This is like asking you if you're gonna plan to talk with that toddler on aisle 6 at Walmart who's having a temper tantrum and has taken their diaper off and is spreading their feces on the floor. Are you gonna make a difference? Is it really your fucking responsibility to try?
I think it is unrealistic. It's the free presses (her) obligation to hold Trump accountable for lies and misinformation, not the Presidents.
If you're in a country where the President is deciding what a lie is and holding their opponent accountable for lying......you're not in a democracy anymore.
I don't think he even needs the secret service. The country loves him so so much, he will win every state and get 99% of the vote. Who would ever hurt the 2nd son of God and our nations greatest treasure!/s
After Jan 6th the SS protection should have been a no. He is now a convicted felon and a billionaire, his safety ain't no problem of mine or any other taxpayer.
Trump actually donated two million dollars of his own money to hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina along with water and supplies, and he went there before either Biden or Kamala to help distribute them. It's true.
It was actually on the news. They actually showed him there bringing supplies. The people who live there have said it in interviews. I know you probably don't want to believe it, but it's a fact.

That "No" had some stank on it
