Possibly, but a $44 billion plus investment in to Trump's "success" carries a lot of weight and no doubt huge payback for the assist!

Who knows how the richest man on earth thinks?

Let's not forget, if that 44 billion USD investment would go bankrupt, he would still be the richest man on earth. He would not feel any difference in his life.

So how does he think? What does he want? I have no idea, and I am pretty sure most of us have no idea. Because our world is so far away from his world that we have few things in common.

He saved my country, and hes trying to save your country too. But youve been in Thailand so long your IQ has assimilated with the local population and you cant distinguish yourself who the good people are

trump has selected Kash Patel as future FBI Director. If Congress agrees he will be targeting trump's so called "political enemies", including those in the media who oppose him. One wonders how it will float with Free Speech, does it mean a step closer to an authoritarian government?

Free speech?  Ivermectin. Ivermectin. Ivermectin. Ivermectin. Ivermectin. It's only recently that any mention of this was banned on this forum. Free speech. Wow!

Disagree. Centre left is still there. The Democrat's aren't. Trump is.

Typical example of how the left lacks common sense.

 

The people elected a prez to fulfill the agenda upon which he campaigned. It's absurd to think that staff will be kept in their positions who disagree with that agenda, wish to obstruct it, leak, and will stab him in the back at every opportunity, as indeed some did during his first term,

 

They're certainly entitled to Free Speech, in other positions outside Trump's gov't. And they will exercise it for financial gain whenever possible. Get on MSNBC, for example, to mouth nonsense for ignorant, miseducated liberals to suck up. Lie about this and that, Hunter's laptop a good example.

 

SCOTUS is the final arbiter of free speech and will uphold the 1st Amendment, as indeed they did recently.

'Course, if Biden can influence social media companies, then so can Trump.

Yes. IMO Biden Administration has got US back on track after the Covid challenges. Immi would be in better shape if trump hadn't blocked bi partisan legislation for party partisan reasons

I'm not sure what this means. Surely it's denial and more inability to accept the lefts failed agenda and execution

 

IMO the terrible partisan gulf driven by trump blocked a number of initiatives for Biden Admin

Freedom of speech is just that. Freedom to speak. Censorship takes away that freedom. Only the "narrative" was allowed. Any challenge to the "narrative" wasn't. You simply parrot the "narrative" pushed by governments, the CDC, the WHO and the legacy media. I can't wait for a full investigation where people like yourself will have to accept the fact you and the majority of people were hoodwinked.

An extremist right winger who wants to help the middle class and the working class a huge demographic of the population abandoned by the Biden/Harris administration. "Extremist right winger. Sure. Even the right wing establishment in the GOP didn't want Trump. The fascist/Nazi rhetoric is very boring indeed.

Which was a good thing. Too bad more of them couldn't be blocked, e.g., the Orwellian-named Inflation Reduction Act. Now the voters have agreed that they've had enough of Biden's "initiatives," and he'lll be making no more of them.

He wants power. And manipulating Trump is the easiest way to get it. With Trump being so easily manipulated by simple praise, he'll be essentially running the government. Why do you think Musk is essentially attached to trump's hip these days? It's because if he is absent, some other person will be whispering in trump's ear and he'll lose his power.

For me it seems many Americans don't realize anymore how crazy Trump is compared to normal people.

Somehow, I would be surprised if this is getting better anytime soon.
