Tiberius Posted November 7 Posted November 7 How will this affect his presidency? Will he laugh at the idea that his stupid supporters hate immigrants and not do anything about them? Will he try and fulfill his promises to gut the Federal Government? Or will that all be a hassle he need not bother with? Will he try and have 22nd Amendment overturned, or will he just not care? 2

SectionC3 Posted November 7 Posted November 7 Occasionally there's really good ideas here, and this is food for thought. He is going to be a lame duck, and it's going to be hard for him to govern if he loses the sway over his followers. What if, for example, there's a recession in the next 12 to 18 months? Gonna be tough to hold authority. By contrast, he's got tons of capital right now, which is why the first 100 days is so important to his agenda. In another thread, the question was posed of the PPP cabal as to what they'd like Trump to prioritize when he takes office. Nobody really had a good answer. The bet here is that the establishment with which he works and which he's too lazy or incapable of rooting out is going to push the tax cuts. He's going to backstop that with the tariffs. (Which is a toxic stew for the economy, but sort of besides the point here.). Beyond that, I question whether there's a plan. 1 1
Boatdrinks Posted November 7 Posted November 7 Were you paying attention on election night? Have you sorted through the numbers in the aftermath? Your party just got bashed in the face with a shovel! Might be time to reevaluate. 2 1 2
sodbuster Posted November 7 Posted November 7 He has both houses of congress, a fairly conservative court, a core of voters that is intensely loyal, an ego like none other, and the largest axe to grind in the history of the world. I'd be very surprised to hear any "quacking." 5

Stiff all govt contractors!!
JFKjr Posted November 7 Posted November 7 Trump had to play a lot of defense in his first term. This time around he's won the coin toss.
Motorin' Posted November 7 Posted November 7 Why would anything you post for the next four years deserved much of a response beyond "go ***** a couch?" 1 hour ago, Tiberius said: How will this affect his presidency?

Now will be accept simply being a one termer or will he fight to stay President forever? That Will determine his course of action, imo
K D Posted November 7 Posted November 7 The only lame ones will be the Dems crying about how much change can happen when you have the majorities plus the president. The fact that he's not running again only works in his favor because he will give zero F's about what's popular, it will be about what's right. 2

Or don't you know what that term even means? 🤣 1

SCBills Posted November 8 Posted November 8 Lame duck, meanwhile he hasn’t even been President-Elect for more than a few days and he’s already got folks back on their best behavior. 2
sherpa Posted November 8 Posted November 8 The entire premise is preposterous. No surprise there. He is elected to a four year term, as all are in that office. No candidate can ever assume reelection, ergo, they must serve in the office for four years. If it turns out they seek and are awarded reelection, so be it. Just a nonsense premise. 1

paulmm3 Posted November 8 Posted November 8 I'm optimistic. America drastically needs a reduction in the size, scope, and spending of our federal government for our future economic well being. A second term Trump administration - with input from Elon Musk - may be the best chance America has to cut red tape, bureaucracy, and bloat in government. 1
