I dislike trump for many reasons, but this one is at the top. It's so unprofessional to spew your thoughts and honest feelings on social media AS THE POTUS!! My guy is a 78 year old child with a whole administration not willing to tell him No. Stay the f*** off social media as the POTUS please.

My prediction: The next president after Trump will also break the record for oldest ever elected president. The US is a gerontocracy, and its elderly will never vote for anyone besides the elderly; since the elderly make up the majority of the US population, we're basically stuck with having elderly presidents for the next decade or more.

My prediction: democrats are going to run a young, mixed race women with immigrant parents just to make sure they throw the next election to whatever geriatric white turd sandwich the republicans put forward. (Assuming trump doesn't just have ice deport her (a US citizen) to a country shes never been to before a week before voting)

Please don’t. America is too sexist/racist to have another intersectional candidate run. Hate to say it but you can either run a black man, a white woman or white dude. We cannot run a minority woman. We will get wrecked again. I voted for Kamala, so I’m personally not against it, but I want to be pragmatic and get a candidate that can get elected with at least somewhat of a progressive platform. Unfortunately that means no AOC. But maybe in 10 years we will move forward enough to be able to elect her. She’s young, so we can wait see how that goes

A black man or a white woman can win, but they have to have Obama level charisma. Not like Corey f****** Booker. So yeah white guy is probably the best bet.

Harvinator06 5 days ago +16
Obama promise hope and change. As a black man, it was refreshing and hopeful. However, a significant number of Democrats, particularly those who actually door knock and help candidates get out the vote, did not campaign or show enthusiasm for Clinton or Harris, because they literally ran as milk toast, moderates dems who promised no change. I truly think the narrative of no women or no POCs is fundamentally flawed by liberals. The issue is liberalism. Zohran just crushed it running on change. That’s what Americans want. Not generic bullshit by spoken to them by a corporate backed lady in a suit who gets all her talking points written by careerist divorced from reality.

Woman here. 2016 and 2024 demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that way too many people in this country are not mature enough to vote for a woman, especially a minority woman. And the one time we somehow managed to elect a Black man as president these same people lost their everloving goddamn minds and apparently will never regain sanity again in my lifetime. So just accepting this reality, as stupid and painful as it may be, my fervent hope is that the Democrats coalesce behind the whitest middle aged dude they can find in 2028 so we can start to climb out of this giant hole we have dug for ourselves.

trojan_man16 5 days ago +4
Same here- as someone from Illinois I’m mostly behind Pritzker, or someone like Mark Kelly. But we are still two years from the election, anything can happen. New candidates can emerge. In 2006 Barely anybody knew who this Obama guy was or didn’t think he would be president by 2008 ( I personally though he would be a future president the second I saw his 2004 DNC speech, but thought he was a decade away.).

I really don’t buy into the “let’s see who the front-runners are 2 years before the primary” thing which has become popular, but as of right now, all the front-runners will be between 50 and early 60s by Nov 2028, plus AOC. There’s no one over 65 even being mentioned

I live in NJ where he bankrupt a couple casinos and also screwed over tons of contractors and other businesses, like, some of them got screwed out of millions of dollars. There's been less and less over the past year, but the number of banners and lawn signs and bumper stickers and everything else that had his name on it around here during the last election was just absolutely mind boggling. It honestly seems like half the people around me have been wearing a mask their entire lives and they all simultaneously pulled it off 10 years ago like a bunch of f****** Scooby Doo villains. I feel like I'm in Invasion of the Body Snatchers or some shit, but the aliens are all morons addicted to watching Fox News and being angry about culture war bullshit while worshipping a guy who embodies everything their religion says they should be against.

We were always headed in this direction, going back several decades. Normalcy was always a facade over depraved madness that had learned to carry itself with a mask of sober seriousness. Anyone who pointed out we were riding a bullet train to hell was told to be quiet. That you perceive the collapse of the facade as a sudden swerve, rather than the calving of a continuously moving glacier that has always been coming right at you, demonstrates how little of the real world you ever perceived or understood.

Yeah my original comment was pretty flippant but I agree with you. There is a lot in the collective/societal behavior that gets excused or ignored as long as enough people are willing to excuse it and ignore it.

strain_of_thought 5 days ago +5
It's not just about collective willingness to ignore or excuse what is wrong. Feynman put his finger on it when he turned in his part of the Challenger investigation report: "Nature cannot be fooled". Physical systems have been pushed beyond their breaking point, year after year after year. The little collapses have been covered up and distracted from, but the big ones are accelerating and having a domino effect on each other. That things lasted so long under such a state of abuse and neglect merely shows how resilient they were created, and how difficult they will be to replace.

I'm convinced he's the reason the older conservative generation had gotten a lot more entitled and as verbally abusive as they have.

It is funny how the situation the US is currently in is exactly what they said would happen if Kamala won. For all intents and purposes, it makes the Republican's rational for voting Trump boil down to plain ol' misogyny and racism. I mean, we knew that already, but it's plain as day now given how they suddenly support war, the dismantling of health services and social safety nets that they themselves rely on, and cratering affordability.

My fear is that Trump has a tendency to go more far each time (as the market stops reacting to empty threats, he needs to one-up himself to be able to make an impact) Plus he is a deranged narcisist with dementia who has been humilliated a lot in the past couple days. So, this time, I'm starting to feel scared.

NorthWindMN 5 days ago +5
I don't know, I really think that he did believe that he could just send in the Airforce and decimate Iran, and that Iran would magically capitulate and bow at his feet. He's a textbook malignant narcissist, and I think that at this point he is throwing a tantrum, because he's realized he can't just bully Iran into submission. Or he is just manipulating the markets again, which I hope is the case. I'm scared to see what will happen if he doubles down and continues to escalate, which I do feel is very likely, regardless of market manipulation.
5
TalkersCZ 5 days ago +5
Of course he believed he could win just by air campaign. Because it worked in much smaller country with rumours of their VP actually orchestrating it to take power. And because he is an idiot who considers dementia tests as IQ tests and calls them hard... The reality is, that the regime was attacked last year and was prepared and basically any war gaming would tell you most likely you are stuck in forever war. Now he is just using the war he is stuck in as market manipulation, becase... he can.

My dad watches Fox News. He thinks Trump is respectable, dignified, and stately, unlike Biden and Obama. If you show him Trump's social media posts, or clips of his speeches, then he thinks it's just CNN fakes and that Trump doesn't really sound or act like that.

They're alluding to hitting desalination/power plants and other targets they've threatened to hit in the region if their own infrastructure is targeted in the way Trump is threatening.

They have been targetting them on a daily basis in the region for the past weeks.

They've been trickling in attacks on desalination/power plants in different countries just to demonstrate their vulnerability. If they unload their stockpile of missiles on them then the region will face its largest ever humanitarian crisis.

I’m afraid that Trump was alluding to nukes when he said “back to the Stone Ages". And it made me think what would be the consequences of that? Can US just throw nukes on Iran?

They certainly can, but most allies will tell them to pack their shit and close all military bases on their lands, expell ambassadors, close consulates as well as sanction them and leave all kinds of economical and military alliances, political ties, everything. Certain groups of Americans, if not all of them, will be rejected for visas, etc. The USA will be isolated and the passport will be worth practically nothing. Which is exactly what Trump thinks he wants, because he wants a classic dictatorship with no way out for Americans.

I unironically think that Trump thinks if that happens he’ll just nuke one of their cities and the countries will fold like Imperial Japan.

SunnyOutsideToday 5 days ago +6
Americans don't learn anything. A survey of *college students* in the US found: >“Which branch of the government has the power to declare war?” > Only 32% correctly identified the legislative branch, and 48% named the executive branch. Another 5% said the judicial branch could declare war, 3% pegged the Pentagon and 11% were unsure. >60% did not know the length of the terms of U.S. senators (six years) and representatives (two years). >Only 35% knew that Mike Johnson was the speaker of the House of Representatives > Question 33 asked: “If the United States were invaded by Russia as Ukraine has been, what would you do?” >Forty-three percent said they would “stay and fight,” and 57% said they would “flee the country.”

Correct. McCain use to joke bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran. To The Beach Boys tune. Many of the political and oligarch and oil baron class are salivating over this. They don’t care if gas is 10$ a gallon or if eggs are a buck a piece. They might as well be on a different planet, hoarding the wealth of 10,000 middle class families, of entire small towns, insulates you from adverse consequences.

Those places are allied with the west, Iran cant get to the US so they target the "siblings" within slapping reach Right now their attacks is meant to hurt the US's economy but its a dangerous game because a radical nation like Iran is more than willing to go the extreme and start raining bombs on civillian grounds just to prove a point

I think his decisions would be very different if his own country was at a bigger risk of being attacked. The US is strategically so far away, but other countries that are nearby are bearing the brunt of his decisions. So tired of a different headline each day, I just think it's market manipulation at this point. And obviously delaying the Epstein files.

Trump doesn’t hold the cards and I don’t mean that in an antagonistic way. The same way US is giving Ukraine weapons China and Russia will give Iran weapons. We aren’t going to force the strait to reopen and everyone knows this and if US did do something we would permanently damage our standing forever and it would be even worse if the US attacked bridges and electric infrastructure. The options are go home or escalate and the US loses in both scenarios.

Lendyman 5 days ago +14
The problem is Trump is such a loose cannon that I wouldn't put it past him to order that power stations and electrical infrastructure be hit. I really think that he's getting kind of desperate with the increased rhetoric. I think that there was a belief that this is all the over and a couple weeks and it's turning into an actual war. Anybody who knows anything about the region knows that I ran wasn't going to back down, but okay.
