The Official President Trump Thread - Second Term Edition

Remember in 2020 when he spent the entire campaign claiming the most milquetoast of all Democrats, Joe Biden, was a radical firebrand socialist who was going to redistribute all your wealth? He kind of gave up on it a little bit after it fell so flat in that instance, but "radical socialist" used to be his default attack against all Democrats.

He was maybe a little more subtle and nuanced in how he presented it (radical socialist vs communist) before age really caught up with him, but it's instinctually one of his default claims for attacking opponents and God knows Trump loves to keep going back to the same well until it's bone dry.

Maybe reviving the oldies is a small indication that Trump understands the deep hole he's dug for himself with his approval raitings.

 

ND some of the dumbest people on this website @StupidMoniker @Space Ghost will tell you bout sides

 

There are no new ideas here. Just old, bad ideas repackaged. Ideas that have already been shown to fail. Repackaging them politically is like rebranding leaded gasoline as "the new gas." It won't solve anything. It'll just reintroduce the same old problems they caused.

This isn't about solving real problems. It's about scaring people, dividing them, or lining the pockets of the president and his friends.

 

What J. D. Vance Once Knew - The Atlantic
July 4, 2026

“During this election season,” Vance wrote, “it appears that many Americans have reached for a new pain reliever.” His name was Donald Trump.

In the midst of a social crisis, Vance observed, Trump offered “an easy escape from the pain. To every complex problem, he promises a simple solution.” But, he argued, such promises were a cheap high. “He never offers details for how these plans will work, because he can’t. Trump’s promises are the needle in America’s collective vein.”

“Trump is cultural heroin,” Vance wrote. “He makes some feel better for a bit. But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they’ll realize it.”

“One day” is today.

THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY, while still quite dangerous, is also collapsing, cracking under the weight of its own choices.

...

 

Does Trump have a ‘what hate and fear mongering topic can we point the sheep towards today’ wheel that he spins before speeches?

 

I would not be surprised to find out the Declaration Of Independence now has some fresh sharpie edits.


Trump Misquotes Declaration Of Independence During Speech At National Mall

 

I was surprised and a little disappointed that Trump didn't make headlines with outrageous statements in his July 4 speech.

 

He says stupid **** daily. At this point, everyone is just numb to his stupidity. He normalized it.

 

The Islamic Republic of Japan.... holy crap the enemies against the United States keep on multiplying out of LITERALLY nowhere.

 

I blame the world cup

 

Trump's BIG BEAUTIFUL brain is all swiss cheese.

 

Socialism? I don't care who you are, that is communism.


Trump's answer to high gas prices is socialism with patriotic branding

Grandpa Pudding Brains' White House has opened 25 "Freedom Fuel" gas stations around Philadelphia, selling gas below the national average, because socialism becomes freedom when you slap a flag decal on the pump.

USA TODAY reports the stations are selling gas at $3.47 a gallon, below the $3.79 national average, and that the White House promoted the launch with a video of customers thanking Trump for cheaper gas. The move comes after months of volatile fuel prices tied to crude oil shocks, the U.S.-Iran war, and shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

The White House announced the initiative on July 7 on X with a video of customers thanking President Donald Trump for lowering gas prices. The gas stations are located in the greater Philadelphia area, the White House told USA TODAY in an email on Tuesday, July 7.

In the video, one customer claimed the gas station saved him money. "I thought gas was more expensive, but it's not," the man, who was not identified, said. "Thanks, Trump, for saving me some money."

The corruption never ends with this shitshow of an administration.

 

There is little info on this. Apparently it is a private company, so not socialism, but is definitely affiliated with Trump in some shape or form and they are using official government resources to promote it.

 

Something sus there. Undercutting the market by 50 cents a gallon. I'm pretty sure profit margins in the gas station biz are not that fat. Owners are not disclosed, and Trump is trying to take credit for it. So, I'm guessing some billionaire political ally pulled this stunt to provide some political cover for the high gasoline prices in an important swing state, and will chalk up his business losses as the cost of buying an election. So, maybe more state capitalism than socialism. Either way, dirty as hell.

 

The WH is a funny bunch. Freedom Fuel. $3.47 vs $3.79. Really.

These guys are really betting that you don't see and hear with your own mind. And I don't blame them for it. It has worked very well with their base.

Keep bringing attention to gas prices.

 

It definitely is very sketchy. It is either Trump associates or somebody trying to curry favor with Trump. It is insane how secretive this is.
