Violence that he incited through dangerous rhetoric and tone.

And sure enough around 1600 pardons issued almost straight away .

The American prisons will not be over crowded with Trump in charge.No breaking election promises in the good old US of A.

I first saw the clip of Elon when my mate sent it to me & I replied to him that either him or the alt right would pass it off as the Roman salute. Then not long after that I saw a headline in The Telegraph: Elon Musk makes Roman Salute to Trump supporters.

I think Elon is doing this almost as a wind up to the liberal political class because they will easily take the bait. Steve Bannon has a strategy that encapsulates Trump & all his craziness, flood the zone. Do so much, whip up hysteria amongst the establishment elite that it becomes too much for people to keep track of, people are too busy living their lives than have to read a comment piece or watch a round table on CNN of people losing their shit over every little thing Trump & now Elon is doing.

One thing that Trump understands better than just about anyone and certainly better than the Dems & political class is crontroversy is attention and attention is power. As the old saying goes, there is no such thing as bad publicity, although P Diddy might contest that.

I think they should just ignore this, one of the reasons Obama and Harris did not speak about their race and gender in their campaign was because voters have eyes, they know about their own country's history, they get taught it at school, everyone knows about slavery, segregation, Martin Luther King & civil rights, they could see the historic nature of it for themselves & did not need 2 trillion opinion pieces from left wingers to tell them that.

People can see what Elon is doing & make a judgement for themselves there was a poll from WSJ that showed that voters were initiall split even on their opinion on Musk but recently his approval is now at -11 and I imagine that will only get worse now.

The Dems need to get their shit together, Trump is acting like he won a Reagan style landslide & the Dems are acting like they believe it, not only did he not even get to 50% in the popular vote but despite clean sweeping the battleground states he won them all by a slim margin. His win was like Starmers, wide but shallow. They can't spend the next four yrs rerunning the 2024 election and focus on the midterms and 2028

Trump is a imbecile he bragged for years he had never read a book and it shows remember a lot of people in the US aren’t that clever plus the fact most people aren’t that interested in politics so it’s generally easy to b/s people. A guy l follow in the US who used to work with Trump said too me he has always been a con man the only real money he ever made was from “The Apprentice “ on US TV. He told me Trump b/s about how much he’s worth is just that b/s. He lies that much now he doesn’t know if he’s telling the truth or not.

Donald Trump on Spain's spending on NATO.

"Trump: “Spain is very low. Are they a BRICS nation?”
Reporter: “What?”
Trump: “They are a BRICS nation. Spain. Do you know what a BRICS nation is?”.

Now I obviously don't know because I always believed that it is a trading group for Brazil, Russia, India, China and the S is South Africa but Trump has it as Spain.

Just as a footnote to what I said above no USA banks will lend Trump any money all the money he has ever borrowed is from overseas bank ( mainly German ) which says a lot about Trump, he only spends other people’s money. Remember all those people who sent him money ten dollars here twenty dollars there, hence the con man tag.

Belgium, Romania, Ireland, Cyprus & Spain. It's not difficult, Duh!

Washington Bishop makes the Orange Flump and his Boot-Licking VP Squirm. A lot.

The staunch loony Trump supporters will no doubt claim the Bishop was talking 'woke' nonsense.

Oh and BINGO Elon Musk has done it already
So much for compassion and decency. Let's throw the word 'woke' around as a term of derision and insult instead and behave like a bunch of isolationist miserable cunts.
Yeah cool . FFS .
