Trump will not be good for the environment, but might just know better how to 'drain the swamp' this time around. He was snookered by the MIC at every turn last time, and they, in fact, may well have been the perpetrators of Solemeini's assassination. His unbated support of Israel was also reprehensible. However, he has some interesting people around him who might help him be more successful in taking on the Deep State this time around. JD Vance, weirdly evangelical that he is, is VERY bright, and was groomed by the Repugs from his college days.

The other really interesting person close to Trump is his 17-yr-old son Barron. He became mates with a boy of a similar age who is an influencer, and the two of them worked hard and mobilised millions of Gen X-ers to get out and vote. Who knew that this was happening? He was wearing an interesting tie on the victory podium, too. Navy blue with red stripes. I have no idea of his politics, but think that he is exceedingly bright and could soon start to wag the dog. I believe that he is a lot brighter than Harris, Walz, or Trump.

The Globalists are screaming blue murder, and 'inflation', about Trump's vow to re-introduce tariff protectionism. Dropping tariffs led to the de-industrialization of the US, UK, Australia, etc. Here in Oz our manufacturing sector went from employing 22% of the workforce to <8%. Making massive profits for the multinationals on the back of cheap Asian labour. It caused the wealth gap to keep on widening in the intervening years. Little wonder that the DNC has received the bulk of corporate sponsorship and MSM patronage. If Trump can improve this, and reduce the MIC budget, he will do well for the US economy.

Pty help women with unwanted pregnancies, though.

We live in interesting times.

I think his first administration had one huge success, albeit a painful one, namely that he exposed the widespread, endemic nature of corruption in the US Body Politic, aka the 'Deep State' whose tentacles reach across many public and private sector areas. In this context, the blatant election theft in 2020 followed by outrageously petty and mean-spirited demonization and prosecutions only served to deepen the lessons already learned, albeit perhaps only dimly appreciated. This election yesterday marks a type of redemption arc, a deeply satisfying narrative that puts Trumps on the level of living Icon in the culture, both locally and internationally.

So to me what matters now is the degree he can use this considerable political capital (also manifest as powerful enemies arrayed against him) to effect substantive reform. He has been floating notions like eliminating the Income Tax, and Elon has invited Ron Paul onto his committee and today Congressman Massie, who will be the new Sec of Ag invited the famous free range farmer Joel Salatin to serve as one of six official Advisors to the Secretary'.

This is potentially the most dynamic Administration in the history of the nation. Only living Icons can do this sort of thing and he is one.

Interesting times.

"these people are not simply hero worshippers"

Oh, God, I can't even... Tell me again how you're not a Trump Savior Syndrome case. You just blew all credibility whatsoever. I'm unsubscribing. Bye.

Conservatives, Democrats, Labour etc are all polluted with an outdated ‘class’ or even Masonic or Boys Club style of thinking where they view the world in terms of hierarchy. In other words there are people at the top of the pyramid who are smarter, more educated or more informed as they see it than everyone else below in the pyramid.

This produces tyrannical governance. In other words people who think they know better and believe they have a right to dictate to the people.

As a result, they will push agendas on the populace completely at odds with the public and attempt to use the media and gatekeepers to drive their agenda down everyone’s throat. Even if the public are completely against it, they will do it anyway because they genuinely believe they are better and the public are stupid children who need to be parented. They have a top down helicopter parent approach.

Where Trump, Reform etc come in is they have a bottom up approach. They aren’t dictating what they think should happen or be changed, they listen to the public and what they want then go out and fight to deliver it.

That’s what politicians are supposed to do: serve the people. Not serve their own interests, serve their careers, serve the interests of the people they went to school with, NGO’s, corporations, globalists, ‘liberals or conservatives’ interests in other countries etc.

It’s very simple this is a marriage and we want our spouse to be faithful to us. We don’t want them cheating with the neighbours, our siblings, the milkman, the air hostess etc etc.

We only care about our interests. If our country is totally united and we have mass wealth accumulated in government bank accounts, a super healthy budget every year, an exceptional quality of life for everyone; then and only then can we begin to look at helping the interests of others beyond our country and fellow citizens.

We don’t want to fund a war Ukraine caused and could never win. That was their decision, their choice, their bed and their responsibility to sleep in it.

We don’t want financial migrants masquerading as asylum seekers.

We don’t want social housing going to anyone other than our own people until such a time as waiting lists no longer exist and there is a huge surplus of social housing.

We don’t give a damn about net zero and climate change. The climate has been changing since before the dinosaurs to cause the ice age and changing since then to melt it and reheat the planet. Only megalomaniacs think we should be trying to control temperature.

We don’t care about carbon emissions. Co2 is essential for plant life and an essential building block for things like coral. The more the merrier.

We don’t care about the interests of corporations. If they don’t like it they can jog on and we can replace their products with private companies who actually keep their profits in the economy, not drain our economy to offshore tax havens so they can all buy yachts and jets.

We don’t care about a free market because it isn’t actually free, it’s a controlled market stacked in the interests of corporations not the people. A genuinely free market would have no patents and the cheapest provider wins the sale.

We don’t care about offending people. If they don’t like it they can leave. We want to love our country, our people, our values, our traditions, our culture. Why should we coy like some dog that just ripped open the bin bag whilst the rest of the world promotes and is proud of their country, culture, traditions etc?

We want privacy. We want rights. We don’t want censorship, we don’t want government overreach and snooping. We don’t want to be told what to think, what to say, what to like, what to dislike, what to support, what to oppose: we are all adults capable of making up our own minds.

And we don’t want ideologies pushed on us, foreign or domestic.

AND? What is your point? After 50 years in construction I only deal in concrete steel and brick. I could never build anything on opinions and views.

Trump winning by landslide is a direct result of 50% of a country’s populations legitimate concerns being completely ignored by the other 50%, the media, the government etc.

If you’re crying about trump winning it directly your fault. It’s because you refuse to give any legitimacy to half the populations concerns

It’s very evident in how they are reacting even now. They have no comprehension of how he could win and have utter disdain for those who voted for him. Continue that attitude and the right will keep winning. We are living in a far left time and until the left start becoming more moderate left they will continue to lose to the right.

The meltdowns are fantastic to see but also show they will never understand some of the legitimate concerns of the right which means for more instability moving forwards.

And to all those crying like little bitches. Just remember the MSM lie to fuck constantly about Trump. He’s not hitler reincarnated, he’s not nearly as bad as the media make out. They are incredibly bias. Thank fuck for X for balancing the playing field, instead of the media propaganda that so many just blindly believe. People are literally having tantrums and meltdowns. The guy was already president for 4 years, nothing happened, except americas economy was better, what a shame.

I’d love to vote left but the left don’t represent the thing they used to these days. They are so far left that I’ve got much more in common with the right these days and so have many others by the looks of it.

All in all, well done Trump and fuck all you so blind and delusional and brainwashed that don’t understand how he won. It’s because you’ve been conditioned utterly. ‘Orange man bad’ that’s all you hear in your echo chambers.

He’s a man of business and will no doubt do best for his country which is more than I can say for most politicians. The bad thing for us is that he will make the US stronger which will in turn make the U.K. weaker

You are on target. With out saying he is taking sides, he is simply going to say to Ukraine and Israel, we're out of money, our teat is dry, you need to make the best deal you can. The art of the deal. It is a good thing for both of them. Nutty yahoo is a taco short of a combination plate. But Trump has to consider the fanatic Christian Zionists in the US. Me, If they want rapture theyt should just put a 45 to their head, don't take the rest of us in a nuclear war. The Jews that moved to Palestine in 1948 can do just fine and continue to exist if they'll simply make a deal. Ukraine, the Eastern oblasts were Russian anyway. The remaining Ukraine should hook their economic wagon to the Russian horse because the EU is collapsing. Ukrainians, look beyond the end of your nose! Russia is the best economic bet!
