Election Year or Fear!

Tricky can say what he wants. It doesn't bother me, I think the best response to thugs and bullies is no response.

I beg to differ. You give back twice what they've given you. It's the only language they understand... he said based on experience.

Funny isn't it, how all the screaming about Trump being a war monger etc has been surpassed by our own loon in charge. He wants British boots on the ground in the Ukraine now,
Anyone would think he's crying out for a war to boost his popularity? History repeating again?

Hardly an act of aggression is it? He’s considering sending British troops as part of a peace keeping force should there be a peace treaty, nothing more. Far more comparable with the situation in the Balkans years ago than anything else I’d have thought.

Like your facts are going to stop TTR slating the loon in charge?

I'm not sure that anything KS says will make the slightest bit of difference, The Donald is now in charge

MA, your idea of meeting a bully with twice the force sort of fails when, in the current situation for example, you don't have twice the force.

It may take a bit longer under certain circumstances The worrying bit of this current situation is that I'm pretty certain that Trump/Musk are hell bent on a dictatorship of sorts. First signalled when DJT told USA Christians that if they voted for him now, they wouldn't have to in 4 years time. I said at the time that signals there likely won't be USA elections in 2028.

Well Trump can't stand again under the existing rules so he's got to work quick to overthrow the democratic process, so might as well go all in now.

Will he even be alive come 2028?

My thoughts exactly. Hope not. The world would be a much better place without Trump, Musk and Putin…sinister goings on at a Saudi summit anyone?

Suspect he’s aiming for a dynasty…President Don Jnr, President Eric and President Barron. Would appeal to his narcissism, but I doubt that even the dumbest of US voters will go for a Russian/Chinese model, their sense of prejudice against the common historical enemy is too strong.

Will any of us?

Isn't there some attemp to allow him to run again on the basis there was a gap between the 2 terms?

The 22nd Amendment prevents anyone from being elected to the office of President more than twice, but (technically) I guess he could look for a way of remaining president (without being re-elected) beyond 20th Jan 2029.

Vance could run with Trump as vice president i guess.

That?s been my guess for a while

[SithHappens]

Wonder what happens then. Say Vance has to stand aside, the vice president takes his place, is he allowed to see out the term?
