In a carefully coordinated publicity stunt last week, Donald Trump received a McDonald’s takeaway order from delivery driver Sharon Simmons, a 58-year-old grandmother of 10 from Arkansas. Simmons, a Trump supporter and advocate of his “no tax on tips” policy, testified before Congress last year that she began working as a delivery driver for the takeout app DoorDash in order to help cover the cost of her husband’s cancer treatment.

The photo opp should have been a slam dunk for Trump: a simple way to promote one of his policies in the company of a sympathetic advocate and beneficiary. But Trump, in characteristic fashion, could not resist the urge to insert a non sequitur about one of his own grievances: trans women athletes. “Do you think men should play in women’s sports?” Trump asked Simmons. “I really don’t have an opinion on that,” she replied, showing considerably more message discipline than the president. “I’m here about ‘no tax on tips’.”


Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election was once seen as a definitive cultural shift, proof that his aggressive, domineering style of rightwing populism had found permanent purchase in US politics. Pundits hailed the triumph of conservatism; institutions scrambled to adjust to the new dominance of a regime with authoritarian aspirations. This was always a suspicious claim: was a narrow victory in one close presidential election really a sign of a broad and permanent cultural shift?

Less than 18 months later, that thesis has collapsed. Trump and his allies have delivered an era of backlash and cultural retrenchment from the executive branch: slashing grants for “woke” research; turning federal programmes meant to promote equality into engines for discrimination; stymying promotions for women and people of colour in the armed services in what critics say is an effort to resegregate the military; and pressuring athletic conferences from the National Collegiate Athletic Association to the International Olympic Committee to ban trans women athletes.

I wish I could see it that way, but I can't.
Look at the Crepitus video on MAGAts and professional wrestling.
It explains why Pigshit supporters are getting exactly what they crave.

trump is so upset that men are marrying men, he had to rape a teenage girl.

this strategy of getting back his base will work partially.

everyone Hates retarded demism.

you people are still playing your role in keeping trump in power.

do you realize this?

do you realize tripling down on child transing is a gift to trump?

 

[Nordberg]

It is not only because he promised things like lower prices, no foreign wars and helping the masses, but that he said they would be easy to do. If they are easy to do, and he is not doing them, then he lied. He is not working for the people, exactly as Dems said he wouldn't.

"Trump derangement syndrome" (TDS) is a pejorative term used to describe intense negative reactions to former President Donald Trump, often characterized as irrational and disconnected from his actual policies. The term was coined by conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer and has been used primarily by Trump supporters to discredit criticism of him.

It is not only because he promised things like lower prices, no foreign wars and helping the masses, but that he said they would be easy to do. If they are easy to do, and he is not doing them, then he lied. He is not working for the people, exactly as Dems said he wouldn't.

How could anybody possibly believe that Pigshit was working for the people after witnessing his first term?
This clown almost got elected THREE times.

He doesn't need results to make his supporters happy.
He doesn't need to keep his wild promises.
As long as he is viewed as "sticking it to the libs,"
his base will stick by him and even his successors no matter what.

We're talking about hatred, not reason.
The third on the extreme right like our idiot JPP MAGAt posters
and the third on the (perceived) extreme left like myself
make certain that the haters will always outnumber the ones who claim to be moderate centrists.

If conciliation is in any way possible....
if Americans can be even somewhat brought together,
it will require divine intervention
which I don't believe in either.

Trump was supposed to be all about "America first".

Instead Trump's first trip as president was to indenture himself and his family to MBS.

trump-worshippers are such cucks not to see what's really happened.

 

[Nordberg]

Part of his problem is his hyperbole. If he said the economy was tough and he could work it out, he would get leeway. But he had to say it was easy and he would solve inflation day one. He talked about deals being easy. Yet his fall apart. He said he would hire the best people, yet they are horribly unqualified and terrible embarrassments.
He said he knew nothing of Project 2025 ,yet follows it perfectly.

America first is still a good platform.

because trump betrayed that platform in no way denigrates it.

if you Dems quit being such intense traitors you could get some America First winning.

compete for it.

He listens to nobody, except Miller. You and he have that in common. Love your Project 2025.
