The Donald Trump Presidency Thread After Hours

[Bob the Ninja]

The irony of him saying anyone else has "gone absolutely CRAZY!!!" is breath taking.

Putting aside the hypothetical nonsense, he really is persisting in calling Democrats - "Dumacrats"!?

Presumably therefore it would be acceptable to starting calling Republicans - "Rapepublicans", given their tendency to protect the rapists?

Totally lost the plot. Probably everyone has loaded up on the oil futures and stocks ten minutes before that message was published.

Gulf states have asked Trump to hold off on his attack, which was scheduled for Tuesday. Who knows with this clown what is going on or what is true?

Here he goes again.......

He's terrorising Greenlanders again. They were out in protest at the new US Consulate in Nuuk the other day and a couple of days later he goes and does this. He's threatening Cuba again too. He just can't leave people alone.

He is leaving the playground and taking his ball with him over the Kennedy Centre spat.

In a sprawling, 582-word Truth Social rant, the 79-year-old president suggested he no longer wanted anything to do with the institution after a judge blocked his effort to rename it after himself and halted plans to shut it down for renovations.

"Unless I am free to do what I do better than anyone else, bring this Institution back, physically, financially, and artistically, I have no interest in continuing what could only be a hopeless journey into 'NEVER NEVER LAND,'" Trump wrote.

Supposedly, the name has to be removed within 2 weeks but I am sure appeals will begin.

But if/when the name comes down, I would expect a large media presence.

Trump, 79, Issues Dire Threat After Kennedy Center Humiliation

In a significant move, the US House of Representatives has voted to restrict President Trump's war powers concerning Iran. The measure passed with a close vote of 215-208, marking a notable shift in legislative action. This time, four Republican representatives crossed party lines to join their Democratic colleagues in support of the bill, which had previously failed in three attempts.

This vote reflects growing concerns among lawmakers about the potential for escalating military conflict and the need for Congress to have a say in decisions that could lead to war. The bipartisan support indicates a collective desire to ensure that any military action is carefully considered and debated, rather than being unilaterally decided by the executive branch.

As discussions continue, it's clear that the balance of power between Congress and the presidency remains a hot topic, especially in the context of foreign policy and military engagement. The implications of this vote could resonate beyond just the current administration, setting a precedent for how future conflicts are approached.

It has been described as a largely symbolic act. The House also passed a motion that would unlock a vote on sending aid to Ukraine. One of the Republicans who voted for the resolution was Thomas Massie. I've no doubt Trump will praise him in his inimitable manner.

Bessent is a despicable piece of shit. The arrogance oozing from him as he bare face lies is an appalling sight.

I am not a violent person, but I would like to slap something into his smug, stupid face. It's not as though his answers were as smart as he obviously thought they were.
