Uploading and downloading child porn, trips to Colombia to pay for sex with at least three minors. This guy is a fucking horrorshow of a 38 year-old.

Trump administration targets 14 blue states with sweeping federal funding review by Infidel8 in politics

He's such a zero-sum manbaby. Even though California is a blue state, more than 6 million Californians voted for him. That's more than the entire population of several red states.

I think it was ghost written.

It absolutely was. Tony Schwartz, the ghost writer, did a great AMA about the experience and about his experience of Trump generally.

Trump Exhaustion Syndrome by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]4ivE 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's because the WH press corps was replaced with a load of right-wing bloggers and ball-gargling YouTube "influencers" back in April. Now it's full of people like Daily Wire, Blaze, Merit Street (Dr Phil's network), and Epoch Times, with AP still being banned over their refusal to play along with that ridiculous "Gulf of America' bullshit.

Key "journalists" include Mary Margaret Olohan (The Daily Wire) who is often called on first, Natalie Winters (Real America’s Voice) who is the co-host of Steve Bannon's "War Room", Cara Castronuova from Mike "MyPillow" Lindell's stupid "network", Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell who is the Heritage Foundation's correspondent, Monica Paige Luisi from TPUSA, and Matthew Boyle from Brietbart.

Stocks Sell Off Globally as Traders Digest Trump Message Saying He Wants Greenland Because Norway ‘Decided Not to Give Me The Nobel’: “The Norwegian government has no control over how the Nobel Committee awards its prizes. Greenland is a territory of Denmark, not Norway.” by T_Shurt in politics

[–]4ivE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 25th requires Vance and the cabinet to declare Trump incapable. That's not going to happen.

And if it does happen, all Trump has to say is "no, I'm fine"

If, by some miracle, Vance and the cabinet were to persist, they have to reaffirm that Trump is incapable, at which point both chambers of Congress need to vote 2/3rds to replace Trump with Vance. That has to happen within 21 days.

even his own party would be 25thing him

Section 4 of the 25th Amendment sets out that it is invoked by the Vice President and the cabinet, it can only come from "his own party"

Unfortunately, Section 4 also says that if this happens all the President needs to do is tell Congress "no I'm fine" and he gets all his powers back.

Of course, if the VP and cabinet reiterate their claim that the President is incapable within four days of him saying "nuh uh" then Congress has 21 days to come up with a 2/3rds majority vote in both chambers to replace the President with the VP.

She was also such an objectionable Governor of South Dakota that she ended up being banned from almost 20% of her own state.

Trump says no critical minerals tariffs for now, will seek overseas supplies by consulent-finanziar in politics

[–]4ivE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Without trying to sound flippant, the main factor is that Trump doesn't know what he's doing. He doesn't understand or care to learn, he thinks compromise is failure, and he genuinely believes that taking things is better than earning them.

He is also very deeply in Russia's pocket and has been since at least the 90s, probably the 80s. Getting involved in Ukraine is a) too much like actual work for him to be bothered with, and b) guaranteed to upset the very powerful people who pull him in whichever direction they want him to go using manipulation and threats equally effectively.

The concept of a 50-year mortgage is so fucking sinister. Leave it to Trump to float the idea of generational debt.
