So now that Trump's won the election.... what to expect?
I am asking this question seeking an objective answer. What does a 2nd term of Trump mean. I have a few assumptions.
-
Trump will seek retribution for anyone that he "perceived" as wronging him in the past four years.
-
Trump will shut down all DOJ investigations against him. He can't stop any state convictions.
-
End of the Ukraine Russian War.
-
Escalation of the Israeli Hamas conflict. Since this is a terrorist group and not a standard military, I'm not sure how he will handle it. Bombing them probably won't work since this is an enemy that will just fade back into civilians.
-
Higher prices on goods due to Tariffs. In fairness, this wasn't going to change much under either candidate.
-
Project 2025. This alone is what has me depressed. Plan 47 is just a watered down version of this. I can't stand religion being forced down my throat.
So much more. but it's a lot to unpack. What I can't understand is why people think everything is magically going to be fixed with either party. We still have to pay higher prices for the better part of 2 years before any economy plan will be used. We still will have the same day jobs we always had, with the same bonuses we get every year ( a few of you are exceptions, but for your standard worker getting 3 to 5% increase is average).

last commentThe OP is seeking an objective answer while opening with false assumptions spoon fed him by a biased news media and failed presidential campaign.
Our democracy is over. Our Republic is over. It’s no longer what we had. All for this stupid fat fuck.
His antics will lead to a Democrat congress after midterm elections. Rendering him a lame duck president. Congressional obstructionism will be the best damage control. Even now Democrats…

It's really just horrible policy. I mean basically what this administration was try demographically change Texas with illegal immigration to make the state blue. Fully intentional. The border…
@drew - we're on opposite sides but I largely agree. Dems are going to have to become the party of Bill Clinton, to be America First (even if…
The answer is no one really knows how it's going to go, including the person who won the presidential election and is on the way back into a…
Donald Trump is a 70s or 80s moderate Democrat. If he changed none of his positions/policies and went back in time, he would easily be welcomed into the…

Rember that the "conservatives" on hear are mostly geriatric white men with tin foil hats who profess conservative values while being whoremongers. Take them with a grain of…
"What I don't like is being controlled by Evangelicals."
Won't happen. Project 2025 is a Democratic scare tactic, not a Trump administration plan.
More melodrama, lol. Were we "controlled by Evangelicals" during Trump's first term? Frankly I don't think he gives a shit about most social policies, including the…
@Owlyoung_ggofv
Evangelicals don't control the news media, Hollywood, the music industry, the arts, sports, the school systems, etc. Leftists control all of those things with overwhelming majorities. Do…
Vance is an evangelical weirdo

do any of you guys worry that they might start coming down on mongering?
As soon as they declare Trump the winner in Nevada and Arizona (I’m not sure why it hasn’t been called - he has big leads with the majority…
"do any of you guys worry that they might start coming down on mongering?"
Did that happen in his first term? Not worried at all.
^^ I don’t know why people are expecting this. But I was watching some CNN this morning and they were spreading all kinds of fear mongering nonsense. Not…

What to expect? Nothing good.🫤
Evangelicals don't care about strip clubs. They happily back the sleaziest president since bill clinton. They're worried about money and abortion. With trump they get…
What to expect?
Lower taxes. Lower inflation. Lower cost of living. Better economy. More jobs. More wage growth. Less free speech repression. Smaller, more accountable government. Fewer illegal immigrants and related crime/welfare costs. Fewer drugs and…

@Owl - This discussion has come up elsewhere but it's hard to correlate a state's political leanings with the quality of strip clubs. Red Texas and Florida vs. Red…

No Supreme Court packing. More states' rights.

Disingenuous. Court packing is a specific term to mean adding more justices to alter the ideological balance of…
Motörhead and Drewcareypnw are 100% spot on . The Democrats in 2016 and yesterday quite possibly ran the ONLY two candidates who might not defeat Trump. How stupid…

More pigs in the White House.
Bippitty, boppitty, bacon!!
Kamala was in the hospital on Election Day.
Evangelicals care a lot more about abortion than they do about strip clubs. If they couldn't pressure Trump into endorsing a federal ban on abortion, it seems…

All I can say is...wait and see.
I am curious how the whole “ Except for day one” thing will work out.
^ It's called executive orders. You know, like when Biden opened the border. No need for the fake outrage.
OP: did you get an MSNBC enema? What are you talking about? You were just being silly.
All this depends on Congress too.
He'll:
If Republicans in Congress from purple states/districts talk him down (as in his first term), the economy will probably be good for four years. The reckoning due…
@puddy I’m not outraged or being fake. He didn’t say “I will use an executive order in day one”. He was asked “will you be a…

^ tell that to a woman that needs to get an abortion
Dictator on day one comment was in reference to closing the border.
^^okay. Point her out. Abortion are not banned in most states, and banning abortion is not part of the Republican platform.

@25: In the case of abortion, there is a competing interest involving the life of the child. And "need" is a strong term to apply to abortions.…
Susie Wiles appointed Trump's Chief of Staff. First woman in American government to ever have that position. Damn, Trump is such a misogynist.
^
And she's a matronly looking 67 yr old so he didn't hire her based on looks or age.
^ Hey man, he hired Sarah Huckabee. Pretty sure that was for brains, not looks. Lol
But then he replaced her with Kayleigh Mcenany. Nice turnaround.
