The Official President Trump Thread - Second Term Edition

It doesn't matter if we keep them

You can jerk off to their pics and vids even when they are in a different country .

Not like them being here is effecting your chances of getting with them

Or mine for that matter

 

It's possible , likely even , that in 20 or 30 years Trump is seen as one of the worst presidents in US history .

Either that , or he's seen as one of the best .

I feel like there's no middle ground .

Probably either way he's the most outlandish and one of the biggest liars.

Overall he either represents a massive change in the culture of US politics going forward or is seen as a black eye

I think the one of the biggest things about Trump is seeing the double standard that is applied to him . It is mind boggling . I wonder who is next to get that treatment? Will there even be a politican who can get away with as much ?

I mean , when he said (to the affect of ) his first 6 months being the most successful in US history... I mean come on !

If anyone before him , from either party , had said that and not cured cancer or solved hunger etc ... They would rightfully have been ridiculed and their power would have suffered. Instead , no one bats an eye. Is it because he says and does so much other **** ?

Is this a legitimate political strategy going forward ?

Gavin newsome has started emulating it .

Is Trump on the verge of inciting civil war ?

I did not feel that way during his first term. I honestly feel that way now .

Conservatives and Republicans can blame the liberal media for taking things out of context and misrepresenting the situation... But the mass deployment of ICE , the air of unquestionable authority, and the lack of an opposition party in power .... Have made this situation very bleak IMO

When you push people too far they can get desperate.

And despite what Trump may say , certainly the truth on the ground is that his policies are not making America great . Gas is not 2 dollars. And many people feel and fear that they are on the verge of having our democracy replaced with an oligarchy / authoritarian regime....

And even if that fear is not reality... The fact that he is continuously pushing in that direction and is not seeking to unify , will take people to their breaking point

 

He'll be seen as the best. He's a true leader, and even in cases where he stands alone versus the hostile media, hostile intel agencies, hostile lawfare campaigns, he never backs down. He fights. And he's almost always proven right. Impeachments, attempts to take all his money, attempts to imprison him for life, two assassination attempts -- the man has fought for this country and simply does not show fear. His accomplishments (whether you like them or not) have been huge and numerous. I've never seen anything like it. Truly the most influential person of our time.


GOOD DAY

 

Imagine thinking Im humiliating myself while you cultists talk like this @Salvy lmao .

Nobody in the world sounds more pathetic than a cultist. Literally nobody

 

Id accept this if you weren't a Joe Biden worshipper...

 

I never worshipped Joe biden as a human lkke what yall do. I said back in 2023 that biden had no business running for re election. You can look up my post history. I stood up for his policies bcz they made me more money in 4 years than ive ever made in my life.

Yall worship Trump as a human being which is the weirdest ****

 

The desperation to paint Columbus as a great man. He is an important historic figure, but was also a horrible person even for his time.

 

Perhaps people are growing tired of winning so much ...

 

Emulating in the same way middle schoolers bounce their hands off their chests while yelling "Durrr".

 

texxx/jorge/mojoman/ect

we all know you are the biggest partisan hack in the history of clutchfans so i just figured with all your idolatry of trump you were being a good republican and towing the party line. i figured you really didnt even like trump. look how much he trashes the bush family (who you love) and how much he trashed the iraq war (which you were arguably the biggest supporter in here of). his policies go against so much of what traditional republicans (like yourself) were always supporters of...but its pretty clear now that you truly are a full-on cult member...i dont think this is an act, and thats pretty sad.

 

Trump after "stopping" 5 wars ... Does that count not invading Canada and Greenland?

Government papers found in an Alaskan hotel reveal new details of Trump-Putin summit

Papers with U.S. State Department markings, found Friday morning in the business center of an Alaskan hotel, revealed previously undisclosed and potentially sensitive details about the Aug. 15 meetings between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir V. Putin in Anchorage.

Eight pages, that appear to have been produced by U.S. staff and left behind accidentally, shared precise locations and meeting times of the summit and phone numbers of U.S. government employees.

At around 9 a.m. on Friday, three guests at Hotel Captain Cook, a four-star hotel located 20 minutes from the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage where leaders from the U.S. and Russia convened, found the documents left behind in one of the hotel's public printers. NPR reviewed photos of the documents taken by one of the guests, who NPR agreed not to identify because the guest said they feared retaliation.

The first page in the printed packet disclosed the sequence of meetings for August 15, including the specific names of the rooms inside the base in Anchorage where they would take place. It also revealed that Trump intended to give Putin a ceremonial present.

"POTUS to President Putin," the document states, "American Bald Eagle Desk Statue."

On Saturday, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly dismissed the papers as a "multi-page lunch menu" and suggested leaving the information on a public printer was not a security breach. The U.S. Department of State did not respond to requests for comment.

Pages 2 through 5 of the documents listed the names and phone numbers of three U.S. staff members as well as the names of 13 U.S. and Russian state leaders. The list provided phonetic pronouncers for all the Russian men expected at the summit, including "Mr. President POO-tihn."

Pages 6 and 7 in the packet described how lunch at the summit would be served, and for whom. A menu included in the documents indicated that the luncheon was to be held "in honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin."

Jon Michaels, a professor of law at UCLA who lectures about national security, said that the documents found in the printer of the Alaskan hotel reveal a lapse in professional judgement in preparation for a high-stakes meeting.

"It strikes me as further evidence of the sloppiness and the incompetence of the administration," said Michaels. "You just don't leave things in printers. It's that simple."

The printed papers are the latest example of a series of security breaches by officials of the Trump administration. Earlier this week, members of a law enforcement group chat that included members of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) added a random person to a conversation about an ongoing search for a convicted attempted murderer. In March, U.S. national security leaders accidentally included a journalist in a group chat about impending military strikes in Yemen.

The Interview
This World-Renowned Negotiator Says Trump’s Secret Weapon Is Empathy

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/16/...e_code=1.ek8.3Mov.rhUGMUgeLC3o&smid=url-share

excerpt:

In “Never Split the Difference,” you write about how life revolves around negotiation. In the last 10 years or so, the idea that negotiation is pervasive has been amplified because of one person: President Trump. He’s constantly publicly engaging in negotiation, using this giant megaphone of social media. From my vantage point, his strategies look like they’re all about threats and asserting leverage and trying to limit the other side’s choices. But when you see Trump negotiating, what’s your assessment? It’s hard to get a solid gauge on him. Social media posts are limited and lack context, and everybody in the media either loves him or hates him, which means the interpretation is going to be skewed. What I’m struck by is the reaction of people that talk to him in person and the outcomes. [Former] prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau — he and Trump have thrown rocks at each other for years. Trudeau goes down to Mar-a-Lago, they meet in person; suddenly, they’ve got a deal. Zelensky, leader of Ukraine: that rock fight in the Oval Office, and then they’re talking to each other at the pope’s funeral. They’ve got a deal. So he appears publicly to be a blunt object, and then in person he seems to make deals. What’s going on when he meets in person? I think there are emotional-intelligence skills that don’t translate through the media, which he appears to have a gut instinct and knack for.

It’s probably an oversimplification to say that Trudeau and Trump sat down and made “a deal.” But what effect does perception about the other person have in negotiation? The example that comes to mind is this term, “TACO”: Trump Always Chickens Out. If someone Trump is negotiating with has an awareness that he’s bothered by that term, and if Trump also knows there’s a perception that he chickens out, will it have an effect on the negotiation? First of all, why are people using that term? Because they know it’s getting under his skin. So they’re not on his side. He seems to be very aware of those sorts of things. If you hit somebody two or three times or something gets under your skin, eventually they’re going to go: “Ah, you’re trying that on me again. It used to work. Sorry, not anymore. You taught me a lesson. I learned it.”

Do you think Trump is a good negotiator? You know him a little, right? In passing. The crisis hotline I volunteered on was part of his family’s church. I became very good friends with the minister, Arthur Caliandro, and Arthur was friends with President Trump. I asked Arthur to ask President Trump if we could use his apartment at Trump Tower for a fund-raiser for the crisis hotline, and they graciously let us use the apartment, and he graciously showed up and was an amazing host. He didn’t have to give us an apartment, and he didn’t have to show up. That was my awareness of him. So your original question was: Is he good as a negotiator?

Yeah. I am blown away at the magic he’s working in the Middle East, taking chances that no other American president would have ever stepped into. Starting with the Abraham Accords that were done under his guidance in his first term. Then he turns around, recognizes the president of Syria, calls for sanctions to be removed. He’s operating extremely effectively in the Middle East in a way that no other president has.

Does the Trump administration demonstrate empathy? I think he has a highly evolved understanding of how other people see things.

What makes you say that? The thing with Iran recently, when we decided to add to the ordnance being dropped on the nuclear sites. The reporting was that Israel was thinking about trying to take out the Iranian leader and that Trump was against that. Now, my view is that’s smart for a number of reasons. First of all, if you agree to take out the head of a country, you’re declaring there’s open season and fair is fair, which means they’re free to come after you. To me, there’s a sense of empathy there. Not necessarily agreeing, not being on their side, but if empathy is understanding how somebody sees it, I think he has a highly evolved sense of it.

Do you think he has a highly evolved sense of empathy when it comes to understanding how other people “see it” on immigration? Yeah, and then I think he’s making a calculation based on what he needs to move forward. I don’t think he is oblivious to how people see things, and to lack empathy is to be oblivious. Now, what decisions that causes you to make is a whole separate issue.

You do know as a "independent" you dont need to suck on Trumps nuts 24/7 right? You can choose to keep whatever little dignity you had

 

you know as an independent I cannot help what the New York Times chooses to publish. And providing the free link is providing a service to my fellow posters who might be interested in reading the transcript and/or watching the video. If your attention span is limited, you might simply move on to a thread that is more pleasing to you.

 

Funny NYT also ran a story today discussing how migrant children in detention are living like animals and how the Trump admin wants to eliminate all basic protections for them. Funny how you chose to post the article that sanewashes Trump even though all his actions show otherwise



The reason why I call you out every day is anyone with half a brain can see you're a partisan hack who does nothing but sane wash Trump.

Come out of the closet and put your MAGA hat on and own it.
