Trump 2nd term prediction thread

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.

Okay,

So Hegsreth's controversy wasn't about his chest tattoo, it's about the "Deus Vult" tattoo on his arm, and AP got their hands on an email from some Master Sergeant about it. Admittedly I'm not overly familiar with whatever neo-nazis use for codes and symbols beyond a few, but there are tons of articles from well before the election about the Deus Vult thing and yeah apparently it's a well-known thing. So have fun defending this as a guy who is just really into medieval knights and ****.

A sexual assault allegation in his past seems to have sprung up too but I'm sure it's all just a misunderstanding/hit job/etc.

Anyway



Just a nothingburger Neo Nazi tattoo, no idea why everyone is getting their panties in a bunch. Luciom will be along at some point to explain to us why this is actually a good thing.


is this a neo-Nazi sign too? or just when the Republicans we dont like have it.

I posted the tatoo immediately when he was nominated.

that's a templar-pilled tatoo not a neonazi one.



What a blindside!


D2, from the IP thread, posted 13 of Nov.

interestingly no one had a clue about that so it isn't such a known symbol.

it is for me, pretty well known in right-wing European circles my age, normal templar pilled stuff

This was the arm in 2016, of the current Trump nominee for secretary of defense

I have no idea what "templar pilled" means, and funnily enough, I know nothing about Neo Nazi tattoos. Why are people saying it's a Neo Nazi tattoo then? Are they lying?


no its the American bombs sent by liberal Dems that are ripping faces off, not leopards.

I mean other that taking in people who spent their whole life in unconditional support for Israel (like RFK and many others) and putting the embassy in Jerusalem when he was president what should have Trump done to signal an absolute, complete, unlimited dedication to Israel against Muslims in the region?

Clearly not the smartest bunch, are they? The more morons who voted for the leopards eating faces party get their faces eaten, the happier I am. Schadenfreude is a beautiful thing.


liberals are funny. when their bombs are burning people alive they find a way to justify it. and when the Republican bombs do the same thing, well, they find a way to justify it. in fact it seems they even relish it.

Victor, the adults are talking now. Run along back to your room.


Biden admin did a genocide. but since they lost, now some liberals are like, whelp, hope that Trump does an even worse genocide!

you guys prove me right everyday.

nah I will keep pointing out your depravity and support of plausible genocide and a war of extermination.

nah I will keep pointing out your depravity and bloodlust.

I'm a jew you idiot. Of course I fully support Israel.

people can't understand the right is a big tent like the left is, because there is less infighting between factions.

you can see a huge difference between Bernie and some pro Hamas student (who might like Bernie for other stuff) while both are on the radical left because those are more vocal outside their circles.

templar pilled is "it is a moral first order priority to resume supremacy of European countries over Muslim countries".

templar pilled is "the most heroic war success in human history was the riconquista and that's the spirit our society needs to get back to, to thrive".

templar pilled is "European supremacist", not racial (there are white Muslims, and brown christians are aplenty).

Nazism is "a lot of stuff + white supremacy + genocide of the jews".

nazists were staunch allies of Muslims. a lot of Muslims want to genocide Jews these days. anti radical jihadists Muslim is anti Nazism.

I understand some guys call people who want 0 Muslims in Europe nazists because they lost the ability to use words properly.

a lot of people not on the right can't even comprehend white supremacy and western supremacy aren't even vaguely the same thing (western supremacy these days include Japan, korea, indians in the UK and the USA and obviously Israel and so on as strong allies).

so anyway the DoD guy is very clearly a templar pilled western supremacist (or at least was when he got his set of tattoos).

like "the Iraq war is a holy war because I get to kill bad Muslims" kind of guy.

I guess you will all keep calling him a neonazi anyway


I mean, it all sounds pretty Nazi adjacent to me, and that's from your description, which I assume is the most charitable interpretation of their ideology possible.


how many times have I been banned for pointing out that people like you are happy about this stuff?

then you come right out and say it.


its hard to be right all the time.

While I'm definitely pretty happy about support of Israel, that's really not what I was saying there. For the benefit of the hard of understanding, I was saying that I was happy when anyone who voted for Trump on the rationale "well, he's a compulsive liar but he wouldn't lie to me" gets absolutely ass****ed.

or they knew they were screwed regardless (wrt Israel-gaza) with both parties going allin pro Israel anyway, and they voted to pay less taxes and deregulate their small businesses (and send illegals who actually compete with the uneducated portion of American Muslims for jobs away), and they want to get heard anyway in the off chance they get some extra stuff sent their way

I suppose they could have been playing 4d chess. Or they could just be morons. I guess we'll never know.

if going against a group that was and is a staunch ally of Nazis is Nazi adjacent, then words have no meaning.
