They will feign support for him, fully aware that the Democrats will be relentless enough to make him shudder and potentially develop PTSD, as he will be alone to answer questions without his usual aides present to defend him.​

They learned from the burning of the Reichstag that the Nazis were effective in using that event for public support to seize power. It has also opened up a whole new market (The Anti-Left Republicans) to Tesla. It makes Democrats look violent.

I think we are soon going to be seeing such an economic downturn that Stimulus checks will be issued a couple more times.

The administration will do anything to frame citizen disapproval as acts of terrorism to start gunning down fellow Americans and deny any accountability.

Trump's bluster about bombing Iran if they don't "make a new deal" and bombing Iranian proxies like the Houthis is just what's going on on the surface. The administration is going to manufacture an incident and the reason that NSA leadership was fired was because they wouldn't play ball.

As the title says, we will once again witness the powerful hold the Israeli lobby has over our politicians. The joke is on all of us.

Edit:

Yes guys, I know. It's implied that it's already happening in the opening paragraph. I'll make a note to do a better title next time.

Moving this to the top because everyone's posting the same comment.

The Trump admin has been acting insane since the beginning, vis a vis doge, ATC, tariffs. This isn't a bug, they intend to destabilise things to the point that Trump is semi-justifiably able to declare a national emergency, giving him further powers.

In emergency situations, courts tend to side with conservative opinion. Trump has packed the Supreme Court with conservatives loyal to him. When it comes to be decided whether Trump has the power, they will use arguments from Schmitt and Vermeule about grey holes to justify the power the President is using. As a national emergency is happening, the court will be more likely to side with the conservative side, no matter how insane. America will fall to oligarchy, whilst Trump and his cadre will have preserved their wealth either through ownership of productive land or cryptocurrency assets.

Meanwhile the tariffs are not aimed at any stated economic goal. They're targeted at those with the biggest exports to America and the lowest imports. This is going after America's most reliant trading partners because it's actually just extortion on a global scale, whilst the least reliant (including developed allies which could retaliate) have less reason respond. They probably want to lower capital gains tax or income tax at the top end.

If it goes too badly, he will cut Bessent loose and say it was his idea.

Also probably Oliver Wendell-Holmes on rule skepticism, but I haven't read any of that for a while so idk.

But republicans will not care and shift blame because the payouts will happen under the next Democratic administration.

Once the dust has settled, and the carnage is tallied, they will be scrambling to interview Memhet Oz, or that Kennedy character and asking for their opinions or inane questions as if the MAGA cult members have any legitimate credentials to offer intelligent commentary on why they destroyed and changed what they walked into; what otherwise was our government.

I guarantee someone in the media will be scrambling to interview any number of the inner circle of Trumpsters. We are witnessing the near collapse of life as we knew it. All thanks to the cult of MAGA.

A "legal coup" is when a leader overthrows the government he was elected to lead.

Want proof that's what we're in the middle of? Here's what the Classic Coup Playbook™ looks like, according to historians and political scientists.

Want to do the math yourself on exactly how far we are into the coup? That is, how complete we are on each of the steps as a percentage? Do the analysis yourself using LLMs via this self-guided exercise.

He’ll say any stocks included in his market will have the full force of the US gov behind them. He will say this is necessary for US gov security and the other markets are controlled by china.

Maybe I’m being optimistic, trying to find a diamond in a pile of crap, but looking at the last time the economy was this intentionally screwed, (the Great Depression), a period of reform of public policy launched decades of security for Americans and the world.

I know that’s a gross oversimplification, but the New Deal put millions back to work, social security was created, and for decades there was an expansion of things like infrastructure, building of libraries and schools and there was a somewhat cohesive American ideal based around improving most people’s lives and circumstances.

We have experienced capitalism and politics becoming massively corrupted and failing to function or provide positive results for far too large a percentage of our population. Globally we are massive consumers, and contribute to environmental damage and decay around the world.

I have no doubt we’re going to go through some bad shit over the next 5-10 years. Our systems be they social services, education, economic or political are likely to break to a point that they cannot be resurrected without deep reform.

I believe American trade will be so badly damaged both ways that the rest of the world will abandon us as the central player globally, and global trade could move away from the dollar.

It’s possible under these circumstances that reforming our predatory attitude towards resources, trade imbalances, use of foreign labor, monopolization will all need to be abandoned and replaced by a new standard of transparency and ethics for both the public and private sector in order to gain trust of stakeholders at home and abroad.

My friends, 77M voters went Trump in 2024. Of that number an incredibly small percentage are the hair on fire MAGA Cultists who stormed DC wearing Viking headgear or terrorize neighborhoods in their smoke-belching diesel pickups with confederate flags flapping. I agree- these diagnosables drank the Koolaid. But a very much larger number of his supporters are poor white Americans who were abandoned by the Dems and just maybe have so little political voice that they took a chance - too many of them twice - on a world class grifter with a dog whistle. And arunnin’ they came. Perhaps if the non-Trumpers stopped mocking them for being idiotic royal fuck-ups and simply acknowledged they were lied to and believed what they not just wanted but needed to believe - as we all do at times - it would be a lot easier for the Trumpers to recognize this themselves. Only Trump supporters can stop this escalating madness. That’s when they can accept, without relentless ridicule, they were taken in by a generational world-class conman, and then pressure their members of Congress to stand up to this relentless assault on our country. This happens as soon as those little red towns in those big red states start going belly-up from Trump’s policies. And it’s coming. We all need to stop stoking the very division that got us here. Very few people voted for ‘this’. Almost all of us just want better lives for our families. Just sayin’.

Edit: Ever go on vacation and look around and think how does everyone afford all this? Spoiler alert - it’s the same people over and over again. Very few people can afford it. It’s no different when we look around or watch the news or scroll Reddit. The ‘millions’ of MAGA zealots are the same people over and over again. They represent a small fraction of Trump voters. They’re loud and aggressive and seem to be everywhere. They’re not. Don’t let them skew the conversation. Most Americans just want to keep their heads down and do right by their families. A few loudmouths championing either extreme - left or right - is having an outsized impact on our perspective. Please, ignore the noise.

Trump is unable or unwilling to properly say Tesla. Maybe it's a slam on Elon, but I'm expecting Trump's staff to insist on a name change to Tesla because Trump's staff are all assholes.

With the tax cuts that the Senate just passed it seems like the Republican parties gameplan is to keep tariffs longterm. That is the only way to not increase the existing deficit. That is exactly Trumps plan with the External Revenue Service. Once these tax cuts go into effect tariffs are here to stay for good. That will back Republicans into a corner and double-down. Historically, when mass tariffs are implemented like this the incumbent party loses massively in the following elections. And what we have seen so far is only the beginning. We will see a protracted recession and possibly depression. Unless Americans accept China-level wages we wont see many factory jobs either. In a few months we'll see the true effects of the tariffs and the Republicans popularity will spiral downward.

In the 2028 election a democrat will win the presidency by a significant electoral margin mostly in part due to Trump’s poor handling of the economy and the firing of federal employees. Many moderate republican voters by then will feel alienated and they will be key to helping the democrats win that election. Massive turnout for the blue team for this election surpassing Biden’s 2020 win . Around 35 states won, some swing states with brutally close margins, and more than a 10-12 million lead ahead of Vance or Trump (who might somehow run for a third term) in the popular vote. The election will take about 3 days to have all votes counted and it’ll be called at night time on the third day.

Trump will contest this harsher than he did in 2020. He will issue ineffective executive orders calling the national guard and the department of justice to investigate the Democratic headquarters as well as the headquarters of the democrat candidate. His attorney general will subpoena the democrats involved in the funding and campaigning and there will be interviews, possibly congressional hearings. The democrats will comply and provide every bit of information requested of them. The election will clearly be shown to have been honest and a blue win. This will span the entire months of December and January.

Following this, we’re going to end up like Venezuela a few years ago where they had 2 presidents. One of them was Juan Guaidó who’s party most likely won that election but Maduro stayed as incumbent president. The difference will be that unlike Maduro, Trump will be forcibly removed from the White House after an emergency senate meeting to declare military presence at the White House .

The inauguration will be held in February 2029. The actual president in the White House will be in office of course.

There will be riots in DC started by the inbreds and hillbillies, but he will eventually return to MarALago and declare himself the “president that was kicked out of the White House and we need to investigate the voting machines again”. There will be riots across the country in support of Trump for most of 2029, with the national guard sent in to arrest as many of the rioters as possible. The Democrat president will be clear in his or her orders to not shoot any “protestors” so as to not escalate the conflict any further. The riots will eventually die down by the end of the year. No, we do not go into a civil war.

During 2029 there will also be tens of lawsuits against Trump ranging from the ones he already had before to ones related to fraud and the department of justice will prosecute him for pretending to still be the president.

This is how he gets sent to prison in 2030 or 2031 about a year or two after that election.

He will not be allowed to run from prison for 2032 after a hotly contested bill is passed in Congress specifically saying that prisoners cannot run for office and that’s how they end him.

2032 will be the incumbent Democrat against Vance. Vance will run on a “save the president” campaign and it ultimately backfires with another Democrat win in that election, much closer margin than 2028 but still enough for a blue win. Key swing states seal the deal. Trump dies in prison sometime between the 2033-2037 presidency.

Under international law, embodied in the Outer Space Treaty, no nation or individual can claim ownership of the Moon or any other celestial body.

He will declare America owns the moon and all it's minerals and moon resources. Space X will be the only company allowed to travel to the moon.
