Summary

Seventy days into his second term, Donald Trump faces growing internal turmoil and public backlash. Allies report he’s making late-night angry calls, upset over negative press and policy setbacks.

The “Signalgate” scandal and GOP resistance to new tariffs have shaken his administration. Trump blames National Security Adviser Mike Waltz for a messaging blunder and resents criticism of his deportation efforts.

His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered.

Republicans fear economic fallout from his trade policies, raising concerns about recession and inflation.

      It’s not like he really does anything except golfs, eats McDonald’s, possibly gropes or sexually assaults young girls (some habits are hard to break - grab them by the pussy right?). He doesn’t read, doesn’t think - he basically signs whatever heritage foundation and his rich friends put in front of him to sign.

    After reading the article I found it quite amusing the fact he is disappointed his allies have not supported him

    That’s how the rest of the world feels

    What are the chances of him being booted out via 25th Amendment in the next six months?

    It might buy JD just enough time to prevent the Republicans being utterly wiped out in the mid-terms…

        More competent but significantly less likeable for the bade. Trump slides by with what passes as charisma to stupid people, but vance is such a bitch that I can’t imagine them rallying around him.

          I hear that, but would also consider the monied interests would like more stability, and would ease the rallying behind Vance… probably.

    I’m supposing this dumbfuck really thought he was going to get praise for this?

    The problem is that he’s been safely ensconced in a bubble his entire fucking life. He’s Patient Zero when it comes to rich white failsons failing upwards, FFS.

      yeah some progressive senator/rep was saying this was actually 10d chess on trump’s part to extract concessions from industries in exchange for tariff relief, and, maybe, but also, you know, there is the other explanation

        It’s called a shakedown. Instead of actually talking to someone, start by threatening them then extract concessions. Best deal maker ever

    The orange cunt would have an aneurysm if only the “Press” actually treated him fairly. Instead they sane wash his bullshit, and tiptoe around him without ever using the words “Liar”, “convicted felon” or “rapist”… The press have never treated anyone so favorably, and still he whines and cries like a stuck little pig. He gets $1 billion free publicity every single day. Fuck him with a cactus. No lube ! Edit: And fuck the press! They are responsible for Drumpf!

        What about providing him gympie-gympie toilet paper?

        D. moroides is notorious for its extremely painful sting which may leave victims suffering for weeks or even months. It is reputed to be the most venomous plant in Australia, if not the world.

        The trichomes stay in the skin for up to a year, and release the toxin cocktail into the body during triggering events such as touching the affected area, contact with water, or temperature changes.

      Been thinking about that myself, with my shitty religious upbringing. This is what god wants. And, if you’re Jewish and you’ve at least heard the phrase “god’s chosen people,” I just wonder how you square that with one of the worst people to live having killed 6 million of them. God was really looking out for the chosen people that day, let me tell ya…

        If god, in the christian, all-knowing and all-powerful sense even exists, she must fucking hate us, because she allowed Drumf to happen. I could never venerate a god who is that callous and spiteful.

    He has two options: 1) Stop doing stupid shit, or 2) Destroy the media, replace it with propaganda outlets.

    Guess which one he’ll do.
