President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
I like how you can tell that he clicked this from his Facebook feed. Pure boomer energy.
It's such a nosedive into the stupid for people observing from outside the US. I honestly have no idea if the majority in the US are even registering the nazification. (PS I know there's a decent proportion that can't wait for it, and a decent proportion that are horrified, but no idea about the rest).

Obviously, I cannot speak for every American, but I think many/most Americans just roll their eyes at the Hitler/Nazi comparison as just being political hyperbole. That comparison gained no traction leading up to the 2024 election and most Americans still do not put any stock in it, IMO.
Fox News doesn’t show ICE kidnapping people, just reports how many “illegal aliens” will be removed?
One study showed that most all debates, no matter the topic, devolve into the Hitler/Nazi comparison.
Hey, if DT is the GOAT negotiator, why is the government shut down?
Getting rid of the illegals is a good thing. I bet Europe wishes Trump was their supreme leader. Just think how quickly he would clean things up from the disaster it is now.
Vast majority of Europe (be it leaders or citizens) is laughing at Trump , despise is a close second.

I think the response of British writer Nate White sums it up well:
"Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of ****. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?'
If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set."
Have you watched elections in Europe and the rise of right wing parties ?

Look at sexual assault rates in countries that took in all these migrants they have risen dramatically.

Considering your propensity to lie every time you post I feel confident asserting exactly none of your hysteria is true and you’re just a shitty racist
Next time you can just say the cause of this is the Dems

President Trump’s approval hit a record low for his second term in the latest CNN/SSRS survey released Monday.
The poll, conducted in late October, shows 37 percent of surveyed Americans approved of the president’s handling of his post, compared to 63 percent who say they disapproved.
