President Donald Trump spent early Tuesday night making desperate phone calls and blasting Fox News before midterm election results came in.
āI have the ultimate power ā itās called āveto,āā President Trump told CBS News in a phone interview before polls first began to close in some states. Already, Trump appeared to make excuses for a potentially massive Republican loss.
Trump also called the Financial Times, assuring reporter Edward Lucas that the U.S. has no immediate plans to strike Iran, the Middle East country Trump started a war with in February.
Trump had a particular grudge against Fox News Tuesday night, texting commentator Greg Gutfeld about his disdain for liberal Fox News commentator Jessica Tarlov.
Iām just happy heās suffering.
Same, hopefully dying soon
No way. I want to watch him and his cronies squirm in court first. He can die after that.
I donāt care about making him suffer. Thereās been enough suffering because of him. I just want him to die and be rid of him for good.
Same, also I donāt trust americans to not elect him again.
Theoretically, he canāt run fir a third term
Theoretically he canāt do basically any damn thing Heās done so far.
If he does, I hope Obama enters the primary.
While it would be hilarious to watch the conservatives tie themselves into knots trying to figure out a way to make it illegal for Obama to do that while also making it fine for Trump that would ultimately be a very bad thing.
First it would add legitimacy to Trumps run, not that a lack of that would stop him, but why hand him free ammunition.
Second it would massively energize the Republican base, because while some may be tired of Trump, they absolutely loath Obama and would vote in large numbers for Trump just to deny Obama any possible chance of winning.
Third, Obama burned a lot of bridges during his two terms and is very much a figure head of the old guard Democrats that are just now losing their grip on the DNC to the actual progressives in the party. Bringing Obama back would be a blow to the progressive wing of the party that we most desperately need in power. Further a lot of Democrat voters soured somewhat on Obama, particularly in his second term, Iām not convinced having him on a ballot would bring more Democrats to the polls than the Republicans it almost certainly would.
Youāre a better person than I. I have 50% more gray hair today than I did 2 years ago and itās his fucking fault. I have weekly meltdowns. I canāt function at all with this stress. I want that fucker to suffer for what heās done to me and countless others heās done worse to.
He seems like a danger to everyone every second heās alive.
The only way vance ever sees a day as president is if trump doesnāt finish his term.
Iād rather see him live to face consequences, honestly. We need to make an example out of him so that nobody tries this shit again, at least for the next century or soā¦
I donāt care if he dies, I just want his family to repay all the money its stolen from the American people.
I just want the government to seize back all the money he and his family and cronies stole.
or suffer a paralyzing stroke
The cronies definitely, but remember, he strives for attention, whether it comes from good or bad publicity. His case should be dealt with swiftly, and without his direct involvement if at all possible.
Weāve lost way too many good people to sudden passingsā¦ why the fuck is this miserable pile of shit still ticking?
Heās so slimy he keeps slipping through The Claw.
I was assured that nothing stops The Claw.
Hatred is a potent life fuel unfortunately
Not good enough. I want him to live to 120. In a cell.
Any additional stress on him can only hasten the ultimate solution to his madness.
And let him and his friends get off that easy? No way, try them all, convict them, send them to prison or the gallows, and claw back as much of the money theyāve gained at the expensive of the country as possible.
Even if he died he should still be tried posthumously, if only to give his victims closure, claw back some of the money heās stolen for those victims, and to insure his legacy as the most criminal president of the US is properly recorded. It will also be important for the cases against his collaborators.
You canāt try someone criminally posthumously, and the civil trial would not carry the same weight.
Let alone the media surrounding him would quickly disappear and his cronies could quietly fade from the lime light with all the money they stole.
If Pope Formosus could be tried nine months after his death, I donāt see any reason why we couldnāt do it again. Seeing as how Trump was āGod-sentā it should be well within the powers of the Roman Catholic Church to do so again.
But the Roman Catholic Church protects child rapists.
Iād prefer a prolonged suffering for him, both physically and financially, but for the betterment of the people domestic and abroad, Iāll gladly take a quick ending and a posthumous charging of his and his families crimes.
Itās not the justice he deserves, but it would be best for everyone in the short term.
I donāt think about him. Iām a fish.
Not nearly enough for the suffering heās unleashed on the entire human race
There isnt enough time in a entire lifetime to do that, much less the couple years he had left.
We need someone who causes an equally insane amount of good to come along.
Ja. Ja. Ja.
He has served well as the millstone around the Republican neck. Time for him to get a stroke over the vote results and croak.
Then youāll be glad to know heās never happy. Everything he has and itās never enough. Itās never enough money, enough power, enough control, enough praiseā¦ He is always perpetually unhappy that he doesnāt have more.
I just love when Trump rants like that, it means heās suffering ā¤ļø
Letās go thrombo!
-clap- -clap- ā¦ -clap- -clap- -clap-
Spoiler, a presidential veto isnāt the be-all-end-all. It can be overturned by a 2/3 majority in both houses. Not saying it wouldnāt be super difficult to pull off but it is still there.
There were already some republicans that didnāt like Trump. With these results there will more opportunistic parasites that will look to jump ship so maybe possible if democrats play the manipulation game right.
Im sure some will gleefully flee that sinking ship and look out for their themselves in their next election cycle. Trump and maga are toxic to be associated with.
if democrats play the manipulation game right.
lol.
What, should they instead try to connect with the common sense and conscience of republicans that were previously Trump supporters? Only thing those people understand is probably power and fear.
No, Iām not laughing at the strategy. Iām laughing at the idea that the democrats will implement the strategy correctly.
But hey, crazier things have happened.
His Gold Diapers must be filling up fast.
a clearly frantic Trump blamed a potential Republican loss on everyone but himself.
Of course he did. š¤”
Mr. āpretend Iām on the ballotā. And we did, and he lost.
Yes and now Trump claims it because he wasnāt, when itās very clearly Trump and his administration that people are voting against.
Letās hope this will make some of the checks and balances work. Obviously supreme court is 100% compromised and defunct, so Trump still has that. But hereās to hoping the democrats will actually do something. My hopes are not high, but at least thereās a chance now.Perhaps, but Thomas and Alito are in their 70sā¦
Still having an absolute corrupt supreme court for more than 8 years shows a systemic problem. If they āleaveā Within the next 2 years, it is still Trump appointing the candidates to replace them.
Thatās at least 10 years with a supreme court where party politics are more important than the law of the land.
The Senate can (should) block those and other federal appointments.
Theyāll probably stay on until they are 90, So 20 more years with an insane supreme court on top of the 8 USA already had.
There are a lot of federal judges in appellate and district courts as well at play. Itās not only SCOTUS.
If they can gain more seats in 2028, they could also introduce judicial reforms.
Trump also called the Financial Times, assuring reporter Edward Lucas that the U.S. has no immediate plans to strike Iran, the Middle East country Trump started a war with in February.
Wait, didnāt he bomb them yesterday?
Two more years of this crapā¦.
Maybe not.
The GOP civil war has started, its just a matter of who will fire the first bullet and when?
Weāve heard for years GOP congressmen HATE Trump. Now they see America HATES Trump too. Who (if any) will scramble to cross party lines to impeach and remove to save their own careers?
I mean, we shouldnāt let them save their own careers, but we should let them act like thereās a chance to appease us before we vote them out and (god willing) prosecute them.
Americans on the whole hate Trump, but thereās still that core of 30-ish% who love him uncritically. Theyāre all Republicans, which makes them around 60% of the GOP and more than enough to determine primary outcomes. Itās hard to get nominated as a Republican without Trump, and now we see that itās hard to win with Trump.
I suspect that most of those cult members will just stop voting once their idol fades away. Maybe that will let the Republicans recover in 2030, but you just know Trumpās going to be out for his base in 2028.
Just to add to your point about his cult. Reminder a lot of them were politically unengaged up until 2016, without Trump thereās a solid chance they become inactive again.
Mind you thereās always a risk they latch onto one of his kids but they will still most likely bleed 10 percent or so of their numbers in the process.
I hope all his kids run, and split the trump vote.
Personally Iād much rather they comic ritual mass suicide upon his death, either that or they all fuck off to their masters in the middle east.
I suspect that most of those cult members will just stop voting once their idol fades away.
God willing
you just know Trumpās going to be out for his base in 2028.
Letās hope we get a Big Beautiful Day before that can happen.
The founding fathers probably never expected things to go this sideways, but one of the features of seperation of powers was supposed to be that politicians would save their own skin and stop other branches from doing the wrong thing.
The problem is having captured all the branches, there was no sinking ship for the rats to flee. That has now changed, Trump has become a sinking ship
Letās hope youāre right š¤š¤
Doesnāt matter who hates him, heās the face of the Republican party. If he goes down, they go down with him.
Not if they flip on his ass. I think Bibi has shit on them as well as trump though, it really depends on what Israelās next moves are. Not to mention those beholden to other masters like Putin.
I donāt think they will, heās threatening them
He probably means nuclear based because Tucker keeps rattling that particular sabre.
Also there are plans, they are just not "immediate, what ever that means.
What do you call Tucker Carlson and JD Vance on a sofa with a loaf of Russian breadā¦
Tuesday?
A loaf of sourdough!
I donāt care about his feelings, I care about enforcing the laws of this country that I am forced to survive in.
- Thank you for the attention to this matter
Just demented grampa things
Fox News is liberal now, wow.
āLiberalā is anything the senile dear leader doesnāt understand or that bruises his soggy paper ego, so this case yes.
Isnāt that ācommunismā? Or does that poor old guy havenāt made up his mind yet? Liberalism, communismā¦ Both end in -ism, so how big the difference could be anyway?
well, I guess if he calls Fox āfake newsā heāll be right for once, even if they report the real news this time.
During the 2024 election cycle he called Harris a communist Marxist fascistā¦ proving again he doesnāt understand words
His voters donāt either and they donāt care
Heās trying to muddy the water so his idiot followers think anything left of hunting the homeless for sport is liberal.
Boy I sure hope that he doesnāt suffer any ill effects from his distress, gee whiz
I hope he dies and it hurts the whole time.
Golly sir, donāt get too upset. Your heart might explode! That would be t-t-t-TERRIBLE!!!
Maybe we should send him flowers
Preferably hemlock, or wolfsbane.
Apoplectic fit? Fatal blow-out of the kankles? Dehydrative diarrhea and resultant total organ failure?
Good, get him the fuck out of here and raise taxes on the wealthy immediately.
To 1939 levels, but on wealth, not just income.
Definition of a good day: Any day Trump is suffering
The day his suffering ends will also be pretty good.
A great day would be him + his cabnet suffering. An orgasmic day would be him + his cabnet + his voters suffering.
I like how the braindead throngs are in focus on the picture.
What a loser.
