i think you could make a good arguement he is.

He has eviscerated the left.

They may never come back from this.

After he finishes the wall, he should start work at Mt Rushmore

pelosi , Aoc, maddow, hilary, hunter , whoopi , de niro and taylor swift could be put in a chain gang and made to build it

He is undoubtedly striving to emulate the authoritarian model he so openly admires. His cabinet selections reflect this ambition: loyalty over competence, sycophants over experts. These are not appointments made to serve the country but to serve his ego, ensuring every directive is met with uncritical compliance.

The military will not be spared either. The moment he seizes the opportunity, he’ll purge dissenting Generals, seeking replacements who align with his warped ideals, Generals who will obey without question, much like those who facilitated the worst regimes in history.  We know what he said about Hitler's Generals after all.

He cannot tolerate dissent. His past humiliations, whether over ludicrous suggestions like injecting bleach or the refusal of the National Weather Service to falsify hurricane maps for his fragile pride forcing him to do so with a sharpie himself, still gnaw at him. This time, he seeks absolute obedience: inject the bleach, swallow the horse paste, and squander resources on storms headed nowhere, all because the "dear leader" cannot comprehend, or doesn't care enough, how dangerous his lying is.

It has consequences.  But clearly not for him, so he doesn't care.

Yes, he may become the most powerful president in modern history, but let us not forget that his rise has been paved with lawlessness. The question is whether he’s learned from his previous failures. Will he tread more carefully this time?

It’s doubtful. He’s a man who craves power but eschews the burdens of responsibility. Instead of earning it, he cuts corners, relying on a toxic blend of laziness, ignorance, and blind loyalty from his inner circle.

This reckless approach poses immense danger, not just domestically but globally. With his susceptibility to manipulation and a coterie of sycophants feeding his delusions, adversaries like China, Russia, and North Korea are poised to exploit his weaknesses, securing their gains while he undermines his own nation from within.

As the saying goes, with great power...

But it's useless with a man who has skirted every possible responsibility he's ever had, always finding someone else to blame, and his first term was a perfect example of this.

I think you're asking the wrong questions Scoot.

Good leadership listens to all voices, not ensuring there is none of reason within the ranks.

Predicting the future under Trump is no easy task, particularly when he seems devoid of any coherent plan, or at least unwilling to articulate one.

Unless, of course, his "plan" is simply the well-worn refrain: cut taxes for the wealthy while shifting the burden onto the poor and uneducated, ironically, the demographic that forms much of his base. He accomplishes this by imposing tariffs that make imported goods unaffordable and gutting essential public services upon which they depend. If that’s the sum total of his economic vision, the outlook is grim.

Should he proceed with either the vague promises he has teased or the infamous Project 2025, the economic and social fallout could be devastating. His base, though loyal, would not remain unscathed. At some point, the pain,rising costs, diminished services, economic stagnation, will become impossible to ignore. The question then becomes: can he deflect the blame?

Perhaps he will attempt to spin disaster as salvation: “Yes, it’s bad, but imagine how much worse it would’ve been without me. You’re welcome.” Or, when all else fails, he may resort to the ultimate distraction, a war. Nothing consolidates power like the mantle of a “tough” wartime president.

But the truth is clear: Trump’s interest has never been in doing the job, only in possessing it. He covets the power, the prestige, the adulation, not the responsibility. If maintaining that power requires sacrificing thousands of lives, whether through military conflicts or the collapse of critical social safety nets, so be it. The cost will not be his to bear, after all. To him, the lives lost, the financial ruin, the suffering, these are mere collateral in his relentless pursuit of ego and more importantly, Power.

And we all know it's true, even you Scoot, it's just as long as it's owning the libs, you don't care.

US missiles hit Russia! Putin threatens Trump with a Third World War!


Nov 19, 2024 

Host Daniel Tkiie, together with his guest Rupert Jones
(Retired British Army Major General)  talked about the change in the course
of the war as a result of Ukraine's use of long-range weapons,
which the USA recently allowed to be used as strikes deep into the enemy

Quote:


Yes Most powerful most corrupt and least competent.

Mothra,
you should be thanking all those who supported Trump
as at least we have a better chance of surviving now.
Trump is searching for peace not WW3 with nuclear weapons.

Biden and Putin both want to risk WW3 over 4 little provinces in Ukraine
that no one had heard of 3 years ago.

I honestly don't understand why you lot are not dissuaded by the sheer lunacy of those sharing your opinions.
