The mighty Venezuela, he is indeed a brave man. How about taking on Putin?

He is. Crying help me Ukraine :rolleyes:

You don’t think he should tackle the illegal drugs entering the US ?

Are you concerned all the doctors and engineers, and social care workers currently trafficking the drugs will be impacted?

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

But why are so many illegal drugs entering the US? Could it possibly be that there is a demand for them? So maybe look into and tackle the ‘demand-side’ of the issue?

Hypothetically the US manages to completely eliminate (literally) the smuggling in by boat - do you think that there still won't be a demand and all that will happen is that alternative methods will be found to get them in?

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

I reckon eliminating the drug demand in the USA would lead to a breakdown in the legal system, political system, law and order, sporting institutions, universities, the film & TV industry, technology companies, and anywhere else that seems to rely on a sniff of substances to work efficiently :D

Very good night for the Democrats, including winning the New York Mayoralty. Nothing to suggest there won't be a Democratic sweep in the midterms next year which would limit a lot of Trump's power.

A win is a win, however Phillips O’Brien (mainly talks about Ukraine and war) said this on his Substack this morning:

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

Donny had a bit of a meltdown about it and its a significant win considering the money that was spent in an effort to stop him winning

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

Yes, hes taken it very well I must say! He seems utterly confused as why he can't buy votes with money...

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

I think it's a bit misleading, or at least missing the point, to say he underperformed as the Democratic Nominee. This wasn't the standard two-way race between the Democrats and the Republicans. His main contender was also a Democrat, the DNC's preferred candidate to be the nominee, running as an independent.

I don't think there is a baseline to compare against previous elections as a result. It's someone who caused upset within the Democratic Party and then had to contend with some of them splitting off to stop him anyway.

It won't tell us much about wider America - there are results elsewhere that are a greater example of the trouble the Republicans are in - but it is a shock for the Democratic Party's leadership. This guy is very wing.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

The problem they have is that this is not the Republican Party. This is the Trump party. And Trump can’t run again.

So if Vance is to be the anointed one, they need to start getting him out there and with full Trump endorsement.

Vance did a Charlie Kirk turning point event last week where he took questions for over a hour, he needs to do more of that, and do Trumpesque rallies where he promises to complete the MAGA agenda.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

I don't think Vance will bring all of the MAGA crowd with him tbh. I think it's Trump, and only Trump, for a lot of them. Not to mention his popuality with independents has tanked again.

It's for the Democrats to screw up unless something changes, but they are capable of doing that so....

It might not be award to Trump but FIFA inventing an award to give to him would not surprise me at all.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

Maybe he'll award it to himself? It would be a very Infantino thing to do. When FIFA commissioned the World Club Cup trophy, he put his own name on it in 2/3 places.
