I believe he truly doesn’t care, now that he snookered the MAGA diehards to vote him into office, what they want. His agenda now is to create a profitable era for the people holding the money.

It's all schadenfreude and it's not even Monday yet. I've accepted my sufferings, gonna relish theirs...but thanks to those brave voters, in a few decades, things will be just great...maybe.

Anyone who thinks that Trump cares about polls like these needs to get a grip. He won. He's going to do what he wants, whether with Congress's help or through EOs. Lots of "good little Americans" will fall in line. He has 5-6 USSC justices to back his play.

We're in FAFO time.

Strictly speaking the fucking around has concluded, now it's going to be just 24/7 finding out.
Spoilers: nothing good will be found out

steph1873.bsky.social•50 days ago

Yes, the”fucking around” was the election. I swing between worrying about what’s going to happen and not caring. This is what the voters of this country, whether by action or inaction, chose.

mreldrich.bsky.social•50 days ago

And will he do them the way HE wants? Or the way someone else wants? Duh. #FAFOTrump

Well to summarize:

They voted Trump but they don’t want Trump …

methu.bsky.social•50 days ago

They voted trump but only because they didn't want a black woman

mariejo1965.bsky.social•50 days ago

Also let’s not underestimate the number of morons …

methu.bsky.social•50 days ago

True we can never forget that.

But doing nothing is always easier than doing something, and these credulous fools did something - voted for a bigot instead of a adult

doug-raleigh.bsky.social•50 days ago

We're going to hear a lot about "overreach" in the next few months - especially considering how historically small Trump's victory was 👇

See, this is an example of why democracy doesn't work unless people are of at least functional, self-aware levels of intelligence. As it stands, people will vote against the common good, their own well being, basic decency, and common sense. Until that gets fixed, nothing else will.

Deport the MAGAs, keep the immigrants.

"Deport them where?" Look, let's try to make some good come of illegally colonizing a place with active volcanoes.

barefootdog.bsky.social•50 days ago

FCK TRUMP! DEPORT ELON! DEPORT MELANIA!

cbr1951.bsky.social•50 days ago

I was just dreaming that Trump "abused" the big money he got donated during his campaign for social housing, the climate, social equality, strengthening democracy and so on.......

OH Now they want sanity Too Late that train has left the station

a1magfly.bsky.social•50 days ago

Be assured the will and wants of the people are of no importance to this administration as 100% of the population is about to find out

methu.bsky.social•50 days ago

So true. Those who loved that guy on tv, went to his rallies over and over, voted for him 3 times etc - you lot are going to get fucked just as hard as those 'libs' you obsess over.
Repent at leisure you self-piteous fucks!

cebi68.bsky.social•50 days ago

What the Hell is wrong with these voters. Voted for him and then, ' Please dont do that, dont place tariffs, dont touch womens' rights, dont cut education, dont touch social security and Medicare. It is more than ridiculous.

dsec1.bsky.social•50 days ago

Then they shouldn't have voted for him

sharkloverchick.bsky.social•50 days ago

As if Trump cares. His motivation for mass deportation is racism, not protecting American interests. Now that he’s term limited, and Republicans control the Congress and SCOTUS, he will face no accountability for the atrocities he’s about to commit.

jeninmotion.bsky.social•50 days ago

The American people really need to understand what Republicans are before handing them trifectas sometimes.

Junk journalism, ruined by Jeff Bezos, and no longer a reliable source of news. Dare I call it junk news.

Why didn't the WSJ report this before the election? Why now after? It's so obvious Bezos wanted Trump to win at all costs. And WSJ is a puppet.

transits00.bsky.social•50 days ago

and poor research... Bezos owns the Washington Post... Murdoch (Fox News) owns the WSJ... Fox, The Shit America Down The Pipe Channel

I get the billionaires oligarchs confused lol. Thx.
