    Yeah I suppose. It's lots of chaos grenades that masks actual actions. Still, there's a chance (as we've seen) he's more than just talk, and further...what a horrible example for kids.

        Yeah, my biggest concern with this type of governing is the guys that think he’s serious and say”sure! Great idea!”

          It sometimes feel like The Monster Raving Loony Party got in, but nobody's realised it's supposed to be satire.

            I'm so disappointed. From what I saw I really thought he'd be more presidential this time around. I approve of most of the goals, but not how it's being gone about. The GOP is going to get slaughtered in 2026 if they don't rein him in.

              At this point so far, everybody is too afraid to and no one will stand up to say anything.

              President Trump is still somewhat idolized by the voters who vote in the primary, and that does not "translate" well to the regular election. (I think that the Republics should have done much better in the 2024 non-president election than they did.)

              But, the candidates know they have to get through the primary first, so dont want to risk any confrontation with President Trump.

              I would not expect anything to happen among the Republics standing up to him until after the 2026 election, when they know that President Trump is on his last two years, and will not be as big a "persona" in the 2028 election.

                      He actually instructed Bondi to look into the legality of sending US citizens to a Salvadoran gulag. But only for ‘the really bad people’. One presumes he means Leticia James and Liz Cheney.

                                      There is something to be said about being a decent person. Not the biggest winner, not the coolest guy, not the person with the most money or the person with the hottest chicks. While playing against the woke mime Donald Trump turns out to be the ultimate post modernist icon. Good for him. To his credit he never said he was anything different.
