From blowing up at Zelenskyy to fast-tracking Executive Orders, what can we learn from Trump’s recent behaviour?
They can’t tell this early in?
I mean… yeah, probably.
I’m taking a shit
Don’t forget to wipe
i have a bidet since i left the us
Poseidon’s tongue
Nice I just got done taking one myself
cool
What, you think he’s going to ease up?
Yes this is pretty standard and we fall for it every time. Every elected party comes out and does the worst shit in their first couple months. After that they work on building a reputation. They front load all the worst and then spend the rest of the time kissing and making up.
I’ve never noticed that pattern.
Watch every election. It happens often. The first year is a shit show.

Of note Trump 1 spent his first hundred days berating allies and praising enemies, ended treaties with Russia aimed at preventing the use of Nuclear weapons and replacing non-China trade partners with China
This is just the fucking around stage. He inherited relative stability, and like eating a large meal quickly we haven’t quite caught up yet and had time to feel the impacts. The finding out stage is gonna be brutal. I expect we’ll be dealing with unending, Trump-caused crises when it starts to hit.
Maybe the opener is a financial crisis? He doesn’t seem to give a shit about the economy anymore.
In addition to being cruel and stupid, much or most of what Musk and Trump are doing is illegal and/or unConstitutional. Yet no Republicans and only about three Democrats in Congress are willing to say so. This happy bipartisanship will doubtless continue after Trump drops the pretense, dissolves Congress, and cancels future elections.
If nothing stops him now, what would stop him then?
In his last term, he fucked up shit for a couple of months and then went golfing until the next campaign grift started.
Buckle up, buttercup!
It’s entirely dependent upon the responses of federal agencies and bodies, business interests, the response of average citizens, and foreign response. All but the last’s responses have so far seemed fairly limp so, all other things being equal, I would expect it to continue or get worse.
Of course not. It’ll be so much worse.
No.
It will be worse.

This is just the start. This is him just seeing what he can get away with
And turns out… he can get away with everything.
It’s like watching a little bratty rich kid set fire to the drapes inside the living room … and then having a bunch of adults in the room defending the kid and stopping anyone from doing anything about the fire in the living room, even denying that there is a fire in the living room.
All the while arguing with everyone else in the house about the fire that is spreading around the living room and will soon take over the house. Everyone fighting and shouting as the fire slowly goes from the drapes, to the couch, the TV, the bookshelf and smoke is now starting to go into the hallway and flames are starting to make their way to the next room.
The neighbours are standing on the sidewalk pointing and shouting “Hey! … there’s a fire in your house!” … and everyone inside the burning house shouting back “No there isn’t! … (cough, cough, cough) … go away! leave us alone!”
The curtains were woke, and some collateral damage is to be expected.
100% agree. Why are people like this?
Because politics are no longer about outcomes for half the country, just identity.
It’s almost one step further to be honest; by tying politics to religion they have both tapped people’s blind faith and essentially equated not being a conservative to being a sinner.
I’ve heard things like “I am voting for [candidate] because they are a good Christian” all my life growing up in the southernish US.
Yeah, those people on the other side of the road should mind their own business.

Everyone knows it was the drapes that tried to set fire to the child first.
Shit’s only just begun.
