Poe President?

[quip]

As Trump is such a brazen, incompetent, idiot Commander-n-Chief..is he the mark of an ingenious democratic plot (of course, unbeknownst to him) to humiliate, destroy and discredit the reputation and future of the GOP?

 

[MamboDervish]

Are Democrats intentionally giving Trump enough rope?​

To Trump's ineducable acolytes, there's no such thing as enough rope.

To sane open-minded adults beyond grade school education, he has already exceeded his rope.

I have no idea what the democrats are doing. I hope they do, but I'm not confident.

 

[joluoto]

No, this is wishful thinking. People are still behaving like there will be business as usual in 2026, not to mention in 2028. They are only now waking up to the grim reality that nothing will be business as usual. What the Democrats actually are, is afraid, just like the GOP is afraid. Fear is not wrong here, but fear seems to lead to inaction.

Their inaction seems conspicuous though. But I'm not confident either. Perhaps, Trump will end up hanging himself by way of his own ego inspired ineptitude.

We keep waiting for that to happen but he's made of Teflon. He just said, on national television, that he doesn't know if he has to uphold the constitution. He can't speak in public without lying. He slept with a porn star while married and tried to cover up the hush money. He's guilty of 34 felonies. He pardoned rioters who beat up cops and sundry other felons. His son-in-law received $2 billion from the Saudis. He made his daughter in law co-chair of the RNC. Those are just the highlights.

What does he have to do?

this is beyond the CT story i feel and maybe i am pressing to hard. will slow and steady win the race this time my friends?


blessings.

Why would anyone who cares about the country give Trump a thread, let alone a rope? He is busy trashing our institutions, our traditions and norms, our international reputation and system of alliances, and sowing further conspiracy and division amongst the body politic. The last place I want him is anywhere near levers of power.

This. The problem is, there is a critical mass of Americans fully on board with Taco Don dragging the nation into idiocy and corruption.

His actions and idiocies have been chiseling away at his critical mass every month since his inauguration. He is racing to cash in every chip he has, as quickly as he can, because he knows his show is coming to a close. He is nearly at the end of his rope. I don't expect him to be at the helm by the midterms. Get used to saying, "President Vance". That's when the real fun will begin.

I've been hearing about the end of Taco since the first impeachment hearing.

Remember when J6 was finally the last straw? "Americans won't stand for this!"

And then they did. Donald has the American right by their untanned balls. Short of an Act of God or a Filet o Fish going down the wrong pipe he ain't going anywhere.

What's interesting about his polling is that when he takes himself out of the picture and just lets his administration do the crazy, destructive, unconstitutional shit they do, his numbers tend to drift up. When he gets directly invovled and dominates the headlines, his numbers go down.

The real problem in American politics today is Trump's strangehold on the GOP, to the extent that no one in the party will oppose him on just about anything. This renders Congress impotent, which is a dangerous situation with a President so willing to color outside the lines. Our system is founded on checks and balances, and one branch is AWOL. Not good.

Problematic for Donald. He's happy to be reviled, but is absolutely terrified at the thought of being ignored, or seeing someone else get attention.

Ha. As Oscar Wilde (whom Trump I'm sure has never read, or probably even heard of) said, "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.'

I don't see him being taken down politically by the populace - certainly not by his cult. But he is in steep decline, both physically and mentally. I see him fading fast, losing it, and forcing his own party to remove him - "retire" him - maybe "25th Amendment" him - or he finding some pretext to bow out .... for "health reasons".

He's a lazy escapist who'd much rather be playing golf than be bothered with complicated policy details that he could never remember, even if he did deign to read them. He will never again have the litters of adoring coprophagic puppies ready to gobble up every pile of shit he needs to excrete. Those days are over for him. His rally crowds were already ebbing down to a trickle by September of last year. He may be an idiot, but he still isn't stupid enough to vet and pay for 10,000 people to fill an arena and swoon over him, and the last thing he can tolerate is every news report on the planet - even FOX - broadcasting that there were twice as many people outside protesting him than inside mindlessly smiling at his every word. He is a baby with no tolerance for emotional pain. Zero.

His party won't keep carrying him after a catastrophic midterm election, and they are already well on their way there. If they’re smart, they will retire him before the midterms. He has already served his purpose.

ok..........supposing the polls are accurate, and it hardly matters what the sheep think anyway. maybe it helps those gauge how good the Propaganda is working on the Fake news.

true. he isn't a republican anyway and has said so years ago. and he should care because why?

This renders Congress impotent, which is a dangerous situation with a President so willing to color outside the lines. Our system is founded on checks and balances, and one branch is AWOL. Not good.

Dark Maga is doing away with the gov as we know it. in it's place the Oligarchs will run their own experts and do away with a functioning Congress as unnecessary. but yeah, Lost you are Spot on in your observations my friend.

I agree with everything but the notion of his party removing him. The party of Johnson, Cruz, Graham, Hawley, and other emasculated cucks standing up to El Taco Gordo? Not happening.

You just have yet to see how bad he is going to get. A year from now he may not even be able to make any public appearance where he is allowed to speak extemporaneously. He's already at a point where he can't even remember the question he was asked, let alone answer it with any cohesion in his speech. The hideous tapestry of Trump unravels more and more, right before our eyes and ears, every single day. How long before the Emperor points and screams, "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" at a press conference? I wish I was being hyperbolic, but I'm really not.

The very fragile Trumpty-Dumpty is losing what is left of his balance. Once he completely falls off the wall in public, all the King's horses and all the King's men won't be able to put him together again. And my prediction is that it happens before the midterm election. Enter President Vance.

Only time will tell.

I think it's a fool's errand to expect a critical mass of this current batch to demonstrate anything resembling courage or integrity anytime soon. They are Trumplicking cowards first, then Republicans, and only then Americans.

I would happily eat crow if I'm ever proven wrong. As you say - time will tell.
