Trump 2nd term prediction thread
So, looks like Trump not only smashed the electoral college, but is looking on track to win the popular vote, which seems to be an unexpected turn of events, but a clear sign of the current temperature in the country and perhaps the wider world.
Would be interested to hear views on how his 2nd term will pan out from both sides of the aisle - major happenings, what he's going to get done, what he's not going to get done, the impact of his election on the current conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, whether his popularity will remain the same, wane, or increase, etc.
A bit of an anemic OP, I know, just interested to hear people's thoughts now that the election uncertainty is over.
That doesn't really work so well when someone is posting about things they have first hand knowledge of, unless you're just accusing the person of straight up lying. Do you understand the difference between someone saying "The deep state tried to assassinate Donald Trump" [source: trust me bro] and someone else saying "In my own personal law practice, where I go to work every day, this is a thing that happened this week" [source: that person]? Something tells me you might not.
if you cant trust Lady Lawya blue check mark on twitter then you cant trust anyone.
Oh ****, I thought he/she was questioning the tweet. Yeah, that meme just doesn't work with your post at all.
I've given up hope that these maga dfs can understand a single thing on planet earth. It really is incredible to watch.
edit to add: I'm not looking but I'll bet the post below this one reinforces my point 100%.

It's still "trust me bro". Sorry. Truth hurts.

Please don't listen to this troll.
Eating this lifestyle is by far the best kept secret in human nutrition. It will heal anyone from any psychological issue such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks or suicidal thoughts along with many other ailments. These are absolute facts, it's not bull****.
If they're facts, you should be able to bring the evidence and not link us to YouTube videos of random people giving their accounts that may or may not be true and have no controls in place.
But judging by what you think constitutes as evidence that the 2020 election was stolen, facts are whatever you say they are and not objective, verifiable truths.
Even if it's by PB, try to check the claim.
If you substitute calories from refined sugars with fatty meat and cheese you are going to be better of in the vast majority of cases (as the vast majority of people on your countries eat too many refined sugars).
Ofc it's even better to eat a balanced diet that rotates between all main food sources, better if non of them are ultra processed, better yet if fresh and you minimally cook and process them yourself.
And buy veggies and fruit *in season*.
Better
Overconsumption is the key word at play here. Sugar doesn't cause diabetes. If you are of normal weight and consume one gram of table sugar each day, do you think you're going to get diabetes from that sugar? Of course not.
Dude used to eat a pint of ice cream every single ****ing night, in addition to tons of other high-calorie garbage during the day. Then he stopped doing that, so of course he lost a boatload of weight on bacon.
Kudos to him for losing the weight; him being well over 100 pounds lighter and eating a shitty diet is better than being well over 100 pounds overweight and eating a different shitty diet.
I think the "mass of divorces because trump won" thing will be similar to the "mass of Americans fleeing to Canada" thing, ie not even noticeable on an historical graph
If

ok but don't you see how some shitty diets make you feel full at lower overall caloric intake than others? IE they are easier in a force of will sense to be followed to avoid morbid obesity, if you have a propensity to overeat? or at least they can be easier for many people?
that eggs butter (animal fats in general) and meat can give you satiety sooner (calorically-wise) than grains and refined sugar is kinda key.
also, not all shitty diets are the same

Metabolic disorders such as obesity, characterised by a chronic low-grade inflammation in the fasting state, increase the magnitude of postprandial inflammation [16]. The degree of postprandial inflammation induced by a meal was shown to depend on its energy value, the amount of carbohydrates, glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) and the amount and composition of lipids [5]
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PM...
In studies on energy intake and obesity, high-carbohydrate and -fat meals have demonstrated lower satiating effects, leading to overeating, as compared to meals high in innate/added/incorporated water, fibre and protein [21], whereas increased postprandial satiety-per-kilocalorie (kcal) through pre-meal intake of water [22], soups and low-caloric preloads [23,24] reduced intake [25]. Similarly, low-energy density (ED) meals were shown to reduce energy intake during the present and succeeding meal [26], especially if the meal was high-protein (≥25–30 g), which particularly increased specific satiety (per kcal) and reduced energy intake [27].
I predict that children will once again be taken from their parents(or whoever is pretending to be their parent) at the border. The new border czar is a bad man. I say this in a good way. I think this is a great appointment by Trump. There will finally be consequences for illegal border crossings. It's time to make America safe again.

DOGE will be interesting
Dumbo's trade war with Mexico:
NYT: Mexico Signals It Could Hit Back With Tariffs at U.S.
Mexico’s government on Monday signaled that it planned to hit back with trade restrictions of its own if President-elect Donald J. Trump followed through on his threats to impose sky-high tariffs on Mexican exports to the United States.
“If you put 25 percents tariffs on me, I have to react with tariffs,” Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico’s economy minister, told a radio interviewer on Monday. “Structurally, we have the conditions to play in Mexico’s favor,” he added.
The disclosure by Mr. Ebrard, who is poised to be one of Mexico’s top negotiators with the Trump administration, showcases the rising tensions between the countries in the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election.
During his campaign, Mr. Trump vowed to immediately place 25 percent tariffs on all goods from Mexico unless that country’s government halted the flow of migrants and drugs to the United States. If Mexico fails to respond to Mr. Trump’s satisfaction, he said, he could raise such tariffs to as high as 100 percent.
Such moves could send shock waves through the economy of Mexico, which is exceptionally dependent on trade with the United States, exporting about 80 percent of its goods to its northern neighbor.
But an array of sectors in the United States, including farmers and manufacturers of semiconductors and chemicals, also relies on exporting to Mexico, which last year eclipsed China to become the largest trading partner of the United States. Complex supply chains also intertwine the economies of both countries, especially in the automotive and agricultural industries.
Altogether, U.S. exports to Mexico accounted for nearly 16 percent of overall American exports in 2022, according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative.

what if I told you that the Biden admin continued to separate children from their parents?
and what if I told you that the "new border czar" is and "Obama guy" that took children away from their parents during Obama's regime?
Americans would suffer a bit from a trade war with mexico while Mexicans would be annihilated.
So if they are not suicidal, they can just use their militaries and solve the problem of migrants amassing on the border to try to cross.
Doesn't take many violent episodes to dramatically reduce flows.
