This thread is not about Covid, lockdowns, or vaccines. It is about Donald Trump. While Trump was in office during the pandemic and his response to Covid is relevant, there are pertinent threads for you to post your opinions on those things in.

It might also do with reminding a few that when you post on the SRP, you are responsible for backing up/verifying your claims to fact.

Defense lawyers asked both the Justice Department and a federal judge on Monday night to stop the special counsel, Jack Smith, from publicly releasing a report detailing his investigation into President-elect Donald J. Trump’s mishandling of classified documents after he left office in 2021.
The two-pronged attempt to block the report’s release arrived as Mr. Trump was only two weeks away from being sworn in for a second term as president. With the case against Mr. Trump already dismissed, the report would essentially be Mr. Smith’s final chance to lay out damaging new details and evidence, if he has any.
Mr. Trump’s lawyers, in an aggressively worded letter to Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, said they had recently been shown a draft copy of Mr. Smith’s report, calling it an example of the special counsel’s “politically motivated attack” against Mr. Trump. They demanded that Mr. Garland not allow Mr. Smith to make the report public and “remove him promptly” from his post.
“The release of any confidential report prepared by this out-of-control private citizen unconstitutionally posing as a prosecutor would be nothing more than a lawless political stunt, designed to politically harm President Trump,” the lawyers wrote. In separate court papers, lawyers for Mr. Trump’s two co-defendants in the classified documents case, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, sought a more direct path toward stopping the release of Mr. Smith’s report. They asked the judge who oversaw the case, Aileen M. Cannon, to issue an emergency order to bar Mr. Smith from making the report public until the case “has reached a final judgment and appellate proceedings are concluded.”

Saw a great quote from a Trump aid, but like all such things, Icannot guarantee its authenticity.

People think Trump is playing chess, but most of the time, his staff are trying to stop him eating the pieces.

President-elect Trump confirmed his son's trip on his Truth Social social media platform on Monday.

He said Don Jr and "various representatives" would travel to Greenland "to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights".

Trump added that Greenland and its people "will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our nation".

"We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside world," he said. "Make Greenland great again!"

The president-elect's post also included a video featuring an unnamed Greenlander- wearing a red Make America Great Again hat - telling Trump to buy Greenland and free it from "being colonised" by Denmark.

Dingus Jr going to Greenland to shoot a polar bear?

Unhinged. It just gets worse with every statement he puts out. Canada. Panama. The guy just wants to be a despotic authoritarian, if his own people and party can’t see it by now there’s no hope for any of them.

Translation "No one in Greenland likes us, but if I claim that they are all MAGA, it will make any attempt to take possession of the land, seem like it has local support. Thus my dumb ass supporter base wont bat an eye lid. One of my billionaire fossil fuel buddies, tells me Greenland is uncapped with many mineral resources, that we can exploit and line our own pockets with. F**k Denmark getting it all. MAKE GREED GREAT AGAIN"

I almost chocked on my ice water when reading this article from the cough fine people at the Gateway Pundit.
Jim Hoft.
Donald Trump Jr. is scheduled to visit Greenland on Tuesday, amid renewed interest from his father, President-elect Donald Trump, in acquiring the Arctic island.

According to a Greenlandic government official, Trump Jr.’s visit is personal, with no planned meetings with government officials or political figures.

However, there are unconfirmed reports that he might meet with Erik Jensen, head of Greenland’s ruling party, AP reported.


According to Fox News, Trump Jr. intends to create video content for his podcast during the trip.

Can't argue with that. It's what powers do.
Trump's fixation on Greenland IMO is 100% focused on resources being more and more uncovered as the its ice cap melts. A couple of years ago, a reality show was about some guys putting together a mineral expedition; rubies or emeralds I think. Someone will get rich off it.

Nice to see the dignified certification of the election as it should be. The process does work when troglodytes don't intervene.

But if Trump's a fascist whose coming to power will upend democracy in the United States, should the Democrats really have offered a dignified ceremony and not fought it every step of the way?

 

[Present Not Past]

Drain the swamp

I'm hearing that the people of South Vietnam are "MAGA". My son, Don Jr, and various representatives, will be travelling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights. South Vietnam is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our nation. We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious world.
MAKE SOUTH VIETNAM GREAT AGAIN.

Any one been catching this bat s**t crazy speech he just delivered? More ramblings of his 3am fantasies.

* Says he will use military force to take Greenland and the Panama Canal
*Will use economic pressure to force Canada to become a 51st US state.
*Complaining about water pressure
*Saying heaters make people itch
*And windmills make whales go crazy
*Hezbollah were involved in Jan 6th
*Will rename the Gulf Of Mexico to the Gulf Of America

Keen to see his fan girls come in here and defend his rubbish ramblings and how he is such a strong and intelligent person. And perhaps they can also explain his backtracking on almost every key election promise already.

Washington: US President-elect Donald Trump has not ruled out using military force to reclaim the Panama Canal and seize control of Greenland, insisting that both are vital for US national security.



Meanwhile, in Beijing, plans to invade Taiwan to force re-unification with mainland China - temporarily shelved for being reckless and for the likely military response that will come from the US - has just been placed on top of the NPC agenda under the heading 'Vital for Chinese National Security'.

True, they all do it, but what sticks in my craw, and so many people’s craws, is the self-righteousness and hypocrisy of the US.

“Oh, we’re not like all those nasty empires of history. We’re a democracy. We were founded on freedom!” (Just not for Africans and Indigenous Americans. Or Mexicans who wake up to find out they’ve become Americans overnight, but not full Americans).
