What comes after Trump?

[noname223]

I think even optimists don't believe Trump could acutally serve a third term. He is in mental decline. Who wants to have Iceland? We need Iceland! Homie, you want to annex a new territory and you cannot even remember its name?

Europeans hope for a second Joe Biden. Maybe a second version without dementia. These good old transatlantic times are over. Not even with my good relations on SaSu I can heal all that damage that was done to them.

Americans don't want to spend so much money on the military. This is why Trump proposed to raise the military spending to 1,5 trillion. In order to win a second Noble Peace prize medal probably.

I am not sure what hopes the Europeans have? I mean I am one. But not in power. Hopefully Putin dies and then? The population is fed propaganda and the successor might be even worse. Putin is allegedly extremely health oriented. In contrast to Trump. RFK Jr. has to teach Trump not to order McDonals all the time. But eventualyy he gets forced to eat it himself.

I tend to invest money in assets that profit from the decline of human civilization as we know it. Lol. I mean if it happens, at least will I profit from it financially. Maybe I should buy military stocks. But I already have some gold. I am not sure how much that correlates in practice. With the current world order.

If J.D. Vance comes into office. Holy shit... good night Europe. I don't believe Rubio could have a chance against him. Maybe someone from the Trump family?

What will come after Trump?

So Trump is in office since 9 months. I think a lot happened. Very anti-democratic policies, authoritarian measures, trade wars, moodswings on Ukraine. Will this continue for 3 more years? Will he be a lame duck after the mid-terms? I cannot evaluate the popularity of Trump. I noticed that...

We (here in the US) don't have any viable candidates in either party who demonstrably are different than status quo. Sure, depending on which party you prefer, there might be "lesser of evils" situation... and sure, it seems like Republicans are worse right now in terms of humanity... but it's not like Democrats are sincerely looking to fix things. They are just selfish and myopic about some different things than the Republicans.

Don't get it twisted... you see ANY dissent in the Democratic ranks where someone wants to do an actual good thing for the people? That person gets squashed in a hurry. Democrats are a little more sneaky right now where Republicans are kind of in your face... but the real shit, the stuff that matters to the people, both parties pretty much agree on all that... which is why you don't see much positive movement.

Democrats play on the more horrible "out there" stuff of the Republicans, but don't actually fix things... I point to things like abortion where Republicans ran for decades on wanting to end it... Democrats always claimed to support it... but it's not like Democrats ever did anything to cement abortion rights into law did they? Nope. Because eventually Republicans went and did it... and it was like the dog catching the car because they realized even their own voters didn't want abortion abolished as much as Republicans thought... but here we are... something that Democrats could have prevented IF they ever really cared about protecting abortion rights... but they didn't.

That's just one easy example. Lots of immigration and financial and corporate interests are common to both major parties. Each one likes to fear monger over whatever the other side is doing right now... but then they don't address it either. Health care... it's a joke. Neither side really gives a shit as long as the people in power have their shit covered.

I could go on.

Trump is not the problem. He is just taking advantage of the problem. We've turned a corner, I think, and both sides are starting to pretend a little less to be the better angels... and are just going balls out with whatever shit they want and fuck you the American citizen.
