Obviously he wasn't all that sane the first time but it says a lot that he has chosen to imitate his prison mugshot for his official portrait. Presidents usually like to look proud or inspirational in these things... Trump looks rather like a boy trying to look hard.

Starring, a whole new cast but the lead actor needs a lot of money to pay for his many MANY trials

Critics call it a hack story, very unbelivable, and clearly AI wrote it. Effects were decent but too much editing and quick shots. The acting got a lot of worse, and you can tell the film is full of D list celeb cameos to pretend this is a film. Less substance, and yet, feels overstuffed.

2/10.

Looks like Trump already got bored, he started just doing election rallies again.

So for update, Trump and his bitches cut off ALL foreign aid... except to Israel, who they just have 20,000 bombs to use on kids, and have lifted all restrictions on Israel.

The people who voted for Trump to save Gaza are fake. They never existed. They want Gaza to burn and kill every child there. Because I refuse to believe you actually CARED and voted for Trump. Every person who says they care about Gaza and voted for Trump needs to add 'I care it's not radioactive and no one there can breath.'

I think there were a lot more people who refused to vote at all than actually voted Trump because of it.

Which is just failing the Trolley Problem, really. More blood spilled just to keep your own hands clean.

That is exactly the case, when you check the numbers. Trump didn't really gain that much, it's Harris just not getting the votes that made Trump happen again. The real Trolley Problem the Democrats faced was, that they would've and did supply and support Israel in it's ethnic cleansing and mass-murdering. You just can't vote for either with a clear concience, if Gaza or Palestine are an important point to you.

Trump does not understand the concept of soft power.

Why does foreign aid exist? Humanitarian reasons, yes of course partly, but it also makes those countries grateful to you. I once saw a meme that went along the lines of ''every time America comes to our country we get a lecture, every time China comes to our country we get a new road.''

We can quibble on the details of what China is asking for that road, but a lot of people just don't care.

America has held the position of the world cultural zeitgeist for a long time. The rest of the world watched American films, ate American burgers, wore American jeans and thanked America for its generosity. I'm sorry to tell you all this, but China and India especially are competing with America in these markets now. The petrodollar is dying too so America does not even have that any more either.

Trump's tariffs, Trump's foreign aid cuts, Trump's threats to invade Greenland and Panama, Trump's extreme far right views, Trump associating himself with criminals - these things are not going to Make America Great Again whatever that actually means. They'll make people turn somewhere else.

We actually have a full understanding of what Biden was going for with the ceasefire deal that is probably not worth the paper it was printed on. Biden wanted peace in the region between Netanyahu and Hamas.

He thought he could bribe Israel with weapons.

But there was a chain of logic.

Trump is talking about genocide.

Sorry but you're dead wrong.

It was everytime BRITAIN comes to our country.

Trump voters never cared about Ukraine or Russia or Israel or whatever the topic was at hand. It was just about Trump coming in power again. Denial about Project 2025 was just a denial to save face but they knew that themselves.

Trump supporters rely heavily on what they are being told to believe in. That's why you could always tell those who just watch those channels when they parrot same talking points and always struggle to defend their position once confronted.
