If you are intelligent you wouldn’t need to talk about it because, people would know it from your thoughts and actions.
If you are a good leader you wouldn’t need to talk about it because there would be more people following you than protesting you.
If you are good at making deals you wouldn’t need to talk about it because you’d have a stack of deals to prove it.
If you are good at business you wouldn’t need to talk about it because you would have a lot more successful companies than bankrupt companies in your history.
Etc etc etc.
This smacks of “look how well things are going !! If things were going badly would we be able to afford all this gold?”
Beware the man who is eager to tell you how good they are at something.
Donald Trump just has awful taste. He want to surround himself with shiny “gold” things and always has.
Will that may be true in itself, but why does he fixate on gold in his decor? I’d argue it is about the projection of success. His hotels for instance, he wants them to be seen to be the best in the world so he puts gold everywhere in sight because in his simplistic view, money equals success and gold is the most visual representation of money without actually being money. Just my take on the why behind him liking shiny gold things. He’s just importing it to the white house now.
My guess is that since he said he hasn’t changed as a person since 3rd grade that his mom or someone else decorated their house with shit from Home Interiors (like Tupperware parties for home decor).
Either that or he’s copying some dictator he saw on TV 60 years ago.
This is kinda funny to share, but i had a customer a while back that told me he met Trump while doing work on one of his properties.
He was actually in the process of installing/gilding gold leaf on some of the entrance’s facade when he claims he actually saw Trump with Marla Maples at like 1am or something. He said Trump stopped to criticize their work and warn him not to lose so much as a flake of that gold leaf. He apparently argued with him for a little while before he finally left him alone. I don’t have any reason to disbelieve this guy, but i also realize I’m a guy on the internet passing along a story i heard. It just rings so true to his personality that i have no trouble believing it.
He got the apprentice because all the real businessmen were busy. No joke.
I know people that like Trump in the UK and the thing I’ve realised is people don’t check anything, if orange man says something they believe it.
When I’ve been shitting on Trump my friend said yeah but he’s a good business man though and I’m like no he isn’t, he started life on easy mode and has messed that up several times. Hell man can’t even profit from a casino.
Sadly though it doesn’t matter if people are willing to believe a 5 second sound bite and it takes 5 minutes and some knowledge to debunk that claim then it’s futile as they’ll just put out more sound bites.
I find it ironic that in a world with a wealth of information at our finger tips people just don’t care enough to check. I’m not a smart man, but I was gifted with the power of curiosity and a willingness to look up stuff and find the truth. People are just ignorant on the whole and only care about surface level stuff.
If you ever get another Dem president, which is doubtful, it’s going to take a minute to hose out the whore flair from the White House.
It’ll take 4 years to get the stink out of the WH.
Just in time for donald Jr to start from where daddy left it.
We need a working class president not some corrupt neoliberal democrat with no teeth
You will never get a working class president if change doesn’t happen locally first. Young people don’t vote in local elections and young people don’t put themselves on the ballot of local elections. It’s why actual change at the top will never happen. You can’t expect the average Joe, who isn’t very politically engaged, to vote for a socialist president if they have never experienced what a socialist politician can do for them. That experience needs to happen at the local level. The US needs more Mamdani’s across the entire country and not just in New York.
The reason why Dump is president and co-opted the GOP is because the Tea Party started winning local elections first and pushing out Republican incumbent. They created the momentum so a moron like Drumpf could win a presidential primary.
And they didn’t just do it in political elections even non political elections like school board elections etc. were captured by the Tea Party.
The left needs to copy the Tea Party playbook.
I agree with all your points but I would like to point out that the tea party was billionaire backed not grass roots
buddy you need more than 2 fucking parties to begin with
There are over 100 registered parties in the US. For all the good they do.
Electing a working class president won’t fix this. The system needs to be abolished.
We need to learn to build our own, parallel system of people’s bottom-up power.
The corporate dems fight those harder than any republican.
Good luck with that.
Oh nice, is that the Kremlin?
Kremlin looks very different kind of weird https://repost.uz/pokaji-kabinet
Kremlin has style, Trump does not.

Painting over a pedophile’s mistakes is going to be the theme in America for an entire generation.
Complete disregard to fire safety.
Glorifying the man rather than the office… Is a Hallmark of a King. Not a President

Fucking disgusting. The room too.
There’s a ton of scholarly and peer reviewed articles and studies on the “architecture of fascism” the “art of awe” etc, and how through history, grandiose and gilded decor and architecture has been used to manipulate, convince and enthrall the masses.

Even to this day, we have Wehraboos. If I am a historian and with plenty of time to research and make takedown videos on Nazism, which unfortunately i don’t have at the moment, I want to make videos on dispelling the myth of Nazi superiority and how they are given way too much credit.
Plenty of people do not realise that the Nazis are not different to third world dictatorships. Similar to Trump having a fight with Federal Reserve director, Jerome Powell, Hitler didn’t want to listen to his economic minister, Hjalmar Schacht, that Germany’s excessive government spending is going to bankrupt the country. It was in late 1930s that Germany’s coffers was running out, and it was not a coincidence that Hitler invaded Poland and, to his own surprise, the Allies declared war. Hitler was trying to plunder the wealth of Poland to stave off another economic collapse, like how the previous annexations of Sudetenland and Austria gave them financial cash injection to go a little further.
Fact of the matter is that Hitler and the Nazis were lucky to have inherited strong institutions, namely the Prussian military culture, to have lasted longer than expected. All things considered, the Nazis were merely poor gamblers whose bluffs were eventually called out and ran out of cards. The Nazis were just winging it (I mean, he did not expect the Allies to declare war on him, and he admitted that the planned invasion of France through the Ardennes forest turns his stomach), which is not too different to other tyrants and dictators like Nero, Idi Amin and Muammar Ghadaffi who make decisions on emotions.
People of various inclinations should just stop giving too much credit to the Nazis. I suspect that the current right, with their mountains of cash support from oligarchs, possess the machinery to perpetuate the propaganda to re-normalise fascism. Nonetheless, the Nazis are inherently weak and incompetent. People say that the Thousand Year Reich may well have happened if they won, but objectively they will run out of money in ten years even if they conquered the entire world, because they are that corrupt and incompetent.

This is why I’m convinced he will truly invade Canada and possibly Greenland. His economy is already fucked, and Canada has too many resources to leave alone.
Yeah. I know that the “Eagle Displayed” heraldry has been on the American coat of arms since before it became associated with the Nazis, but it’s still a little sinister how they seem to be leaning into it as a motif a lot more this year.
It’s the ultimate in bulletproof dogwhistles, because literally nobody can judge you for waving an American eagle around, and yet somehow it seems disproportionately popular amongst Neo Nazis…

Catholic Church has entered the chat.
What more proof do you need that a pee tape exists? That’s the aesthetic of someone with an insatiable golden shower fetish.
Clarification:
The Pee Pee Tape purportedly shows Trump directing two underage prostitutes to pee on the bed that Barack and Michelle Obama had slept on when they visited Moscow during his presidency. This amused him greatly. What went on beyond that with the underage prostitutes is unknown, but we already know that’s his type. Now we know the kinds of activities that he finds amusing.
That sounds like the kind of stuff his base would not only enthusiastically forgive, but even celebrate for triggering the libs.
His advisors likely knows this, so when crawl around on all four to obey Putin, it’s not because his forced to but because he wants to.

If you have nothing to fear from racism, then being a refugee means that you are clearly NOT a fascist.
I kind of understand where you’re coming from, but you are delusional if you think Canadians and Europeans don’t already have extreme right groups growing within their borders. We don’t need to allow Americans in to have their propaganda spread through different countries. It does via cultural hegemony.
At one point my very Québecois friend was listening to Joe Rogan podcasts and parroting his anti woke crap. When I go see my family in the countryside, I often feel like I’m talking to deep south rednecks. They say they hate Trump but they hate the person, not the politics, because it’s the same anti immigration and anti woke rhetoric.
And I’m not an expert about Europe as a whole but I know a bit about Germany and AFAIK, the AfD is making gains there. Is it because of americans and/or latinos going there?

Bullshit. Those fascists will kill anyone opposed to them. There are tons of white LGBTQ people, too, and people with disabilities that would be murdered as well. And then there is the simple White anti-fascist folk who simply fucking hate the regime and need to regroup elsewhere.
Kind of looks like putin’s “secret” house
Almost as if he is into being showered with gold 🤔
Dude has a gold fetish. Your president, america. Choke on it.
