My burning question is starting to be, is this really a quirk that Trump has with picking and trusting allies, while being accepting of Swamp creatures sent to him.
Or is this really what Trump is behind the scenes?

Watch his election picks, there can be a candidate that gets out in big blue city does the voter registration drives, picks up trash in the inner city, works with Youth to mentor them, and most of all be a MAGA candidate in their every action since the day Trump announced his candidacy bid. But then some swamp creature like Mitt Romney(For an example) could say "I'm now a Maga Candidate" and Trump will back that guy, while rejecting the real Maga candidate. As were seeing with his Dr. Oz pick.

I'm starting to think much of Trump is a fucking act. And it's trite shit like his shitty one up first Truth Social network posts after rejecting and biting the hand of the actions of a freedom warrior like Musk.

Ego. Plain and simple. Musk one upped him. Even though FB is bigger, Musk is literally one of the most powerful men in the world now. Transportation, space exploration and media essentially. Musk could literally launch an ICBM himself and likely is bright enough to make his own nukes.

Honestly after typing this, it's kind of scary that one individual has that much power. The money helps, but Elon has massive power now if you think about it. It's almost like Austin Powers' Dr. Evil. He literally probably has the ability to destroy the world that he's so longing to escape to go to Mars. Kind of creepy really.

Yes but his ego clashes with his MAGA movement. He can't MAGA alone, but he always feels like his style is being cramped when a real MAGA player enters the ring to help in the fight. He picks them up spins them around, does a pile driver then tosses them out of the rink.

Could you imagine what he could have gotten done, had he built a MAGA coalition?

He likes bringing People of color to help just a little bit with his MAGA agenda, but I think that's for window dressing.

I’m not that interested in Twitter nor Truth.
I like Trump for his political positions and that hasn’t changed.
Trump lowered my taxes a little bit (doubled the standard deduction).

Musk used his Monopoly money to acquire Twitter, which deserved to be punished, but I wouldn’t vote for him.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good.

Trumps personality gets in the way of his own success all too often. But the flip side is that his personality is attractive to many people despite his many flaws. His personality like it or not is part of his success. I’d rather point out his obvious failings such as banning bump stocks (overturned by the court) or keeping Pfauci.

ageed folks I dont fault his methods nor intentions. His issue is lack willing to work with others in a MAGA capacity. Like it's his schtick.

I like both Trump and Elon. I may not agree with everything they do, but at the end of the day their value system more closely resembles the America I want, opposite the Democrat socialist vision which scares the crap out of me.

Trump didn't have Swamp Creatures hung from every lamp post in Washington DC for my personal gratification, therefore he has failed.

Musk is a temporary 'hero' but it remains to be seen if he is just a political shape shifter gathering the gullible conservatives for another back stab. Trust but verify?

I think there are some long games going on, not fun for the short term Roman Coliseum bettors and crowds. Don't ask me what they are specifically, but anything producing chaos, division, fear and violence serves the Globalists. They are Emperor Palpatine growing more powerful from the hate.

What is the big deal? Twit is a micro blog site. When DT was kicked off he started posting to a traditional blog. He's super famous so word got out to anyone who wanted to see.

What a lot of people (including his supporters) don't understand about Trump is he isn't some foundational conservative, in fact he was besties with a lot of Dem scumbags before he started antagonizing the lefty lord and savior Hussein Obama. But he did admire Reagan, and admired his approach to issues on the economy.

The best thing Trump did was deal some gut punches to the establishment and expose them to the general public (Democrat and Republican). I think that will forever be Trump's greatest contribution to the United States and I think it will have a long lasting effect on the culture.

Bump stocks aren't banned?

Why is Trump endorsing the brother of a traitor?

I want Trump in the House, DeSantis in the White House.

In spite of Trump pushing the dangerous and utterly ineffective vaxx, I'd vote for Trump with DeSantis as VP, so that DeSantis could get 4 years of insider knowledge before being president for 8 years. I'm pretty sure it won't happen though, because all presidents seem to pick losers for VP's, every single time. Maybe as a kind of security.

Trump's economic and foreign policy were excellent.

If DeSantis abandoned Florida after the hornets nest he stirred up, and leaped to a higher office. Leaving the shitstorm behind for Vile disgusting freaks like Gillium and Christ to become the next ranked choice to be the Governor. You could bet your last bottom dollar, he would not have your interest at heart. His first term kicked over all of the rocks and revealed the cockroach infestation, he needs another term to get rid of it, and groom a successor. Or at least create a foundation that future Republicans can run on and beat RINOs and Dems.

It's the biggest thing I fault Trump for, gambling the future of America by allowing what we all saw was taking place from the moment he was inaugurated. His ego made him play along and try to beat them at their own game, rather than putting a stop to it, and creating precedence defending the spirit and letter of our Constitution. On one hand we have three branches and a balance of power, but when the other two are corrupt and influenced by unelected international Bureaucracy working to undermine his office, it's time to create offices that didn't exist before, and put people none of them could touch in charge to lead it. Like deputizing Judicial Watch, and welcoming any observer partnership into those investigations. Trump could have stopped it, but he never once tried. He let everyone believe he couldn't fire Jeff Sessions, and a dementia patient could investigate him. Trump knew Mueller was all tapioca in the brains he could have challenged him to get a mental and professional evaluation. Mueller wasn't qualified to be interviewed by Congress, that's how far gone the man was. I'm sure Trump knew it all along.

Trump was great, but I think DeSantis would be better suited. First he can control himself. Trump acts like a petulant child. Trump belongs in Congress, speaker would be just perfect.Just my opinion.

HunterTits says

And DeSantis won't take it. It would be a demotion.

If DeSantis is authentic and knows his true worth, he will stay where he's needed most. I think no matter what happens in DC over the next two elections.
Florida will be hill the battle for America's freedom is fought on. I think otherwise DeSantis would go where ever he is needed. It's Trump that would be making the political blunder by selecting a Statesman that could outshine him. Veeps are classically the village idiots of politics the unlikely outliers, that virtually has zero chance of ever being President themselves.

America will need DeSantis in Florida in the next 5 to 6 years. Remaining term, and a second term. In the event the 2024 election is stolen, as well as the 2022 midterms, and they dare go as Brutal as China is doing in Shanghai now. Locked every citizen at home, just to assert their Communist dominance.
DeSantis will be the first to pull Florida from the US, then will follow Texas, and so on and so on. It will be the downfall of the radicals if it gets to that point. If all of the producing Red States bail on a Socialist Commie hellhole and leave DC with nothing but an over taxed Blue State tax base, that will be the end of that.

RedStar says

Trump acts like a petulant child.

DeSantis takes the time to respond to cheap shots, where as Trump would give an appropriate retort to the asshole delivering the baited loaded biased questions.
Trump's responses did not go down the road the drive by reporter was shooting at him, he instead shot back in turn. Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer approach. The only people who didn't understand that are the people who wished Hillary won, or Obama had a third term.

I think that's the only reason DeSantis hasn't been brought down by the media, because DeSantis hasn't given them their "Mr. Meanie" moment they desperately crave. So they can take it out of context. But he does often come across as a mealy mouth, playing out both sides of his ass to placate everyone.
We're not going to have masks in Florida, Unless you want to be made to wear a mask.
We're not going to have teachers teaching CTR in Florida, uh well unless you want to be made to guilty about being white
He says he's not allowing things to happen in Florida, while never getting rid of the processes and people behind it.

Trump is trite and to the point, no pussy footing around and he fully intends to defund shit and shut people down.
Other than the squabble with Disney there doesn't seem to be any shake up in the Florida education system local level or State level. He can't expect these people to just outright respect his decrees.

That's why everything DeSantis has done today, is very fragile on a precarious perch, that as soon as he leaps off. It will all just come crumbling down.
He needs a second term, to get the administrations in alignment with the values and laws in the legislation and orders, and solidify what he has accomplished.

What in the fuck took him so long

My guess was he was planning to do it just prior to 2024.

A successful product requires proper timing. If MySpace came out today instead of (what 15 years ago?) it would probably do quite well. Gab would have immediately died in 2009. There has to be a market need, and at that time "Facebook gud enuf!"

You are right. Kamala is good at playing the second fiddle. Literally, she probably learned it from Willie Brown.

Kamla got to where she's at by playing a flute, not a fiddle. Just ask Willie Brown.

"Willie".. How appropriate.

How pathetic we have a VP whose climb to power was by being a whore.

He posts frequently now, I like reading his posts on TS.

DooDahMan says

The company buying Trump's social network Truth Social warned investors about his history of bankruptcy and failed business ventures

Trump has had about 200 successful ventures and something like 6 failures.

Not the issue. The issue is disclosure and warning so the investors won't have cause behind the SPAC folk behind the acquisition should Truth Social become #7.

It's not disclosure. Saying I've been 97% successful in business is a lot different than saying I've had 6 failed ventures. Tired of our shit "news". I don't know why people bother to look at it any more.

Truth Social has a nice web interface, I like it. But it's all politics and everyone is there.

I still prefer reading posts and chatting on patrick.net, it feels like a small club of people who got fucked by real estate bubble and we are all in some way in this together here, even when we politically disagree. We still all lived through that shit.

DooDahMan says

Trump inherited over $200 million, and in decades of effort hasn't even outperformed an index mutual fund.

Not this canard again.

Trump has employed and employs thousands of people any given day with his businesses, measuring by net wealth is asinine

Does he pay them all of them well and on time - or just what he feels they are worth and when he feels like paying?

Seems there are 100s of contractors out there that will agree with option two.

The contractor argument is bogus and a red herring, with institutions that large you always have contractors and subcontractors, it's impossible to verify immigration status unless mandated everify by law. Wrt claims there are always claims against large cos. Fact is Trump has been employing an enormous amount of people, 100x times that of an "index" fund. You're correct he brags a lot and therefore invites these swings taken at him, the argument remains bogus though.

Numerous sources claimed that Russia hacked our election and Trump was a Putin puppet since 2015.

There's no credibility left. Unless you post sources for information that can be verified, it's proper to assume you are repeating propaganda, disinformation. At this point, even if you have proof you're going to have a hard time convincing the public about it, because so many lies have been told.

Truth Social works great. Very fast, better than GETTR and certainly better than Glowie Activist Bastile.

"NoCoupForYou" over there.
