The Donald Trump Presidency Thread | Trump Is A Turd After Hours

Trump thread tracks a presidency sliding from scandal into chaos
5/10 Heated debate

The post sets a basic framework for discussion but lacks specific topics or questions to guide the conversation. It would benefit from more detail to enhance community engagement.

The thread opens as a civil discussion space but quickly becomes a running indictment of Trump's conduct, with participants reacting to false statements, pandemic mismanagement, racist and conspiratorial rhetoric, and repeated examples of dishonesty. Early momentum is dominated by outrage and disbelief at his handling of COVID-19 and the way he uses media attention to shape narratives.12

As the presidency moves into its later stages, the conversation shifts toward legal jeopardy, election subversion, pardons, and the normalization of institutional damage. Posters repeatedly argue that accountability is too weak, that supporters excuse everything, and that Trump's style has corroded democratic norms while deepening domestic polarization.34

In the most recent phase, the thread widens into concerns about foreign policy, trade wars, NATO, Ukraine, Gaza, Greenland, and authoritarian overreach. Reactions remain sharply negative, with users describing his actions as reckless, destabilizing, and increasingly detached from reality, while also noting the broader international fallout and uncertainty his return has created.56

"The jury has found former US President Donald Trump GUILTY of falsifying business records"

"Trump and Vance ganging up on Zelensky and berated him."

Verdict

No clear consensus was ever needed because the thread overwhelmingly converged on condemnation. The main unresolved issue is not whether Trump is harmful, but how much damage his actions and supporters will ultimately allow.

Appeals court denies Trump's immunity claims in election interference case

A federal appeals court has unanimously ruled that Donald Trump can be put on trial for trying to stay in power after losing the 2020 election, rejecting Trump's sweeping claim of presidential immunity and moving the case one step closer to a jury.

"We cannot accept former President Trump's claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power — the recognition and implementation of election results," the panel of three judges wrote. "Nor can we sanction his apparent contention that the Executive has carte blanche to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote and to have their votes count."

Donald Trump has been ordered to pay $354.9 million for fraudulently inflating net worth, marking another legal blow to his real estate empire.

Justice Arthur Engoron also banned Trump from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation for three years.

What the prosecution asked for… and what they got

The state of New York, which was prosecuting Trump in this civil case, asked the judge to do several things:
  • Fines: Attorney General Letitia James asked the judge to fine Trump $370m (£290m) for what she calls the "outrageous" business fraud schemes. She says this is how much she estimates was made in saved interest and other "ill-gotten gains". What the judge ruled: Trump and his organisation must pay $354.9m.
  • Ban from doing business: She also asked for "permanent [real estate] industry bars" on Trump, and five-year bans on Trump's two adult sons. What the judge ruled: Trump has been banned from doing business in New York for three years, and his sons for two years.
  • An independent overseer: James also asked for an independent monitor to closely oversee the Trump Organization for at least the next five years. What the judge ruled: An independent monitor will oversee the organisation for three years.

I have family in America. They are not Trump supporters but they used to say the number of mails begging for donations and lottery scams was unreal. One way or another he will find a way to grift the money for this from his lunatic supporters.

Another thing I don't get. Trump's ongoing insults of the court, attorneys and judges. How he gets away with this?

In Britain, if I'm am convicted and then insult the judge and court in the way Trump is doing, I'm sure I will face legal consequences.
