Donald Trump Compared To Sunac/Starmer
Well, there really isn't any comparison with our lack lustre policy-less leaders of both major parties is there ?
'Whereas Trump’s second-term plans are no mystery. They’re all laid out in a series of ‘Agenda 47’ videos he put out last year. He will ‘build on his historic success’ of reducing America’s dependence on China through ‘universal baseline tariffs’. ‘The heart of my vision is a sweeping pro–American overhaul of our tax and trade policy to move from the Biden system that punishes domestic producers and rewards outsources to a system that rewards domestic production and taxes foreign companies and those who export American jobs.’
He has proposals to restore law and order, execute drug dealers, [Wow!] ‘give power back to American parents’, ‘protect children from left-wing gender insanity’ and ‘students from the radical left and Marxist maniacs’.
He warns that ‘World War III has never been closer than it is right now’ and pledges to smash ‘the corrupt globalist establishment that has botched every foreign policy decision for decades, and that includes President Biden’. He promises ‘peace through strength’. Easier said than done, but it’s a potent message when voters look at worsening situations in Ukraine, Afghanistan and the Middle East.
Trump’s twin policy obsessions are immigration and energy security. He has said that he will not be a dictator ‘other than day one. We’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling.’ He vows to undo Biden’s Green New Deal (‘I call it Green New Hoax’) and revive US industry by ‘ensuring that America has the lowest cost of energy of any industrial country anywhere on earth… We will develop the liquid gold that is right under our feet… and more energy will mean lower inflation and it’ll mean more jobs.’
If you were a U.S. citizen, why would you not yote for him??

If you were a U.S. citizen, why would you not vote for him??
Because he has said that he will be a dictator if elected; so it could be the last time US citizens get a chance to vote for who they want to run their country.
In another recent rant, he said he would impose a 100% tariff on all foreign cars imported to the US – which would start a trade war, with US citizens being the biggest losers, paying more for all sorts of imported goods and their export goods subject to swingeing import tariffs in foreign lands.
As dictator for one day, he will install himself as president for life – and make a whole lot of other edicts that place him above the law; as president, instruct the Department of Justice to prosecute all those who have wronged him (in his warped mind).
Those countries that have a 100% import tax on their cars will impose import tax on whatever US products they deem reasonable in response.
//As dictator for one day, he will install himself as president for life – and make a whole lot of other edicts that place him above the law;// That's just silly, the POTUS can't change the legislature.
As for, //Those countries that have a 100% import tax on their cars will impose import tax on whatever US products they deem reasonable in response.//
Which products do you have in mind ? I suppose there are a few Harley-Davidson motor bikes & some bottles of Bourbon Whiskey, neither would effect me, and I can't remember when I last bought an American product, but they import quite a lot of stuff. I think it's a pretty uneven exchange.
“…so it could be the last time US citizens get a chance to vote for who they want to run their country.”
“As dictator for one day, he will install himself as president for life –“
I don’t know where to begin – so I’ll probably not bother. It’s almost as bad as suggesting that equal pay rights will be abandoned as a result of Brexit.
“I can't remember when I last bought an American product,…”
You may not remember, but you almost certainly did. The UK imported $93bn worth of goods from the USA last year. Among that total was:
Mineral fuels, oils, distillation products $22.17Bn
Machinery, nuclear reactors, boilers $21.89Bn
Pearls, precious stones, metals, coins $9.17Bn
Electrical, electronic equipment $6.17Bn
Aircraft, spacecraft $5.96Bn
Optical, photo, technical, medical apparatus $5.61Bn
Pharmaceutical products $4.94Bn
Organic chemicals $2.03Bn
Plastics $1.75Bn
Vehicles other than railway, tramway $1.69Bn
Wood and articles of wood, wood charcoal $1.40Bn
Miscellaneous chemical products $1.17Bn
Almost certainly included in there was the USA’s quota of the 14m tons of freshly felled timber quaintly termed “biomass” used to feed the boilers at Drax each and every year.
unfortunately i don't think "misguided" is the word. i actually think trump's supporters are in complete agreement with you about what he would do in office. the difference is that they approve of it.
some people are fascists. they like "strongmen", they like violence and "decisiveness", they don't particularly care about corruption, and they are happy with autocracy so long as it behaves in a way that aligns with their "gut feelings"
khandro is forever posting his admiration for violent reactionary "strongman" type politicians like trump, orban, duterte... if memory serves he was even a bit of a fan of putin before the second invasion of ukraine. he's just a person with fascist instincts and there's not much else to be said!!
