God Emperor Megathread (Trump and his presidency)

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

His "You vote for this or I'll keep Obamacare forever!" tantrum was kinda funny.

His "You vote for this or I'll keep Obamacare forever!" tantrum was kinda funny.

It's kind of true though. If Obamacare isn't replaced or defeated during his presidency, there's every chance of it becoming so enshrined in US law that it'll never be removed. Unless Trump has an amazing presidency, the next president will be a democrat for sure, which means at least 4 years of Obamacare. Probably 8. Trump was the first conservative candidate to win since Dubya Jr. and he's probably the last chance for a lot of conservatives to get shit passed, replaced or amended for a long-ass time. No establishment conservative candidate has a chance of winning in today's political climate, which btw is why Trump did win.

Goes to show that the Cuckservatives don't actually care about what laws are passed but that they are the ones that do it.

And I do think that he actually wants to fulfill them. That's really why I wanted him to win, I do believe he believes in what he said and promised.
Was he opportunist and populist? Sure. But he comes off as very honest.

Yeah, but wanting to do something and being the right man to do it are two very different things. Trump could do a lot more shit if he didn't waste time on Twitter and Mar-a-Lago. He is his own biggest enemy.

I find it all very depressing. Trump got elected because everyone thought the problem was a lack of will, but now that he's trying to do the things he promised it's become clear will matters very little. His own part--hell, even his own government--is fighting him tooth and nail on everything, and even if he gets a second term everything will be so backlogged in the courts he'll get very little done.

And you know that wall ain't happening. I'll bet it doesn't even get started.

[Kugelfisch]

All that is showing nicely that it's a two class system just like here in Germany. There are the politicians and the plebs. The politicians do whatever the fuck they want to.

That's not depressing at all. That's exactly why I voted Trump.

Imagine how fucked we'd have been if Hillary won and both parties had been united in their desire to fuck over the working class.

Moreso the latter. It's the golfing that irks me. The twitter doesn't bother me because everyone shitposts and says dumb shit on twitter (see also: Blobby). But if people are calculating he's spent more time golfing in the past however months than Obama did his entire Presidency (which I find a little hard to believe thus far), that is very suspect.

I said this on the other board, but I can't believe someone as functionally retarded as Kellyanne Conway was his campaign manager. Either she used up her brain cells doing that or Trump actually did and just wanted to give teh wimmens credit for it.

[Kugelfisch]

What is it with US presidents and golfing anyway? Dubya, Obama, Trump and likely everyone else.

[Pope Corky III]

fuck if I know. All I do know is Carlin is on point with Golf.
