Trump's World is trending on Twitter and I thought it be nice to have a Trump general discussion thread that doesn't call him "Father" Here's the hastag: https://x.com/search?q="TRUMP'S WORLD"&src=trend_click&vertical=trends And I'll do the first post:

Take that, Donald!

When was the last time Trump went through proper channels on anything?

He is using other people's money and be assured, that as a result, they will curry favor with him and be rewarded for it.

It is looking more and more likely this will happen. From my friend Grok: Trump's White House Meeting Fails to Prevent Government Shutdown Deadline Last updated 42 minutes ago President Donald Trump convened with congressional leaders including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer at the White House on September 29, 2025, in an effort to pass a continuing resolution before the October 1 funding deadline, but the discussions ended without agreement. Republicans advocate for a clean spending bill maintaining current funding levels, while Democrats insist on extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire on December 31, which could otherwise lead to premium increases for millions. A potential shutdown would furlough 2.3 million federal workers, close national parks, delay veterans' benefits, and halt economic data releases like the upcoming jobs report.

Indeed he is:

An observation noted in another thread: Terrorists tried to destroy the White House in 2001 with a hijacked plane. 24 years later the President of the United States accepts a plane from people funding terrorists and is destroying the White House himself.

Alongside singer Marc Almond, the duo scored a worldwide hit with their cover of Gloria Jones' Tainted Love in 1984, and their debut album Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret is considered a classic of electronic music. He later formed the pioneering techno group The Grid, who achieved chart success with 1994's Swamp Thing. Ball died peacefully in his sleep at his home in London on Wednesday 22 October, just weeks after playing a headline show with Soft Cell at the Rewind Festival in Henley-on-Thames. During that show, Ball performed in a wheelchair, as he had for the last two years, following a spate of ill-health. "I managed to damage myself quite a bit," he told the Yorkshire Post in 2023. "I fractured lower vertebrae in my spine and cracked about five ribs and broke my wrist". After catching pneumonia and developing sepsis, he was placed in an induced coma and remained in hospital for seven months. However, he had been in "a great place emotionally" over the summer, as he worked on a new album with Almond, called Danceteria, which is scheduled for release next year. "He was focused and so happy with the new album that we literally completed only a few days ago," said the singer in a tribute. "It's so sad as 2026 was all set to be such an uplifting year for him, and I take some solace from the fact that he heard the finished record and felt that it was a great piece of work."

Post any information and updates about them in this thread. https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/13/us/military-parade-protests-trump Millions of protesters are expected at ‘No Kings’ rallies nationwide as President Trump’s military parade takes place on his 79th birthday As a military parade rolls through Washington, DC, on Saturday – President Donald Trump’s birthday – millions of Americans are expected to protest in what organizers predict will be the strongest display of opposition to Trump’s administration since he took office in January. More than 2,000 protests across all 50 states are planned through the No Kings movement, which organizers say seeks to reject “authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy.” The mobilization is a direct response to Trump’s military parade in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the US Army – which coincides with his 79th birthday.

It is one thing to remodel The Rose Garden. It is quite another to take a wrecking ball to The East Wing and change the basic structure of this historic building.

The MAGA crowd are cheering Trump directing the military to blow up a tiny Venezuelan boat that barely had enough cocaine for a bachelor party (if it had drugs at all) without any proof of guilt or a trial. So, civilians from other countries allegedly brining drugs to the US in international waters now merits the death penalty? https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/us-military-kills-11-people-strike-alleged-drug-boat-venezuela-trump-says-2025-09-03/ US military kills 11 people in strike on alleged drug boat from Venezuela, Trump says WASHINGTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. military killed 11 people on Tuesday in a strike on a vessel from Venezuela allegedly carrying illegal narcotics, President Donald Trump said, in the first known operation since his administration's recent deployment of warships to the southern Caribbean. "We just, over the last few minutes, literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat," Trump told reporters at the White House. "And there's more where that came from. We have a lot of drugs pouring into our country, coming in for a long time ... These came out of Venezuela." He later shared a video on his Truth Social platform that appeared to show footage from overhead drones of a speedboat at sea exploding and then on fire. "The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike," Trump said. He added that the U.S. military had identified the crew as members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which the U.S. designated a terrorist group in February. He repeated allegations that Tren de Aragua is being controlled by Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro, accusations that Caracas denies.

Fun Fact: They don't vote (except in municiple elections in some states).

Fun Facts from Twitter: Terrorists tried to destroy the White House in 2001 with a hijacked plane. 24 years later the President of the United States accepts a plane from people funding terrorists and is destroying the White House himself.

She is starting to get it about a lot of things. Who would have thought, that among Republicans, Marjorie Taylor Greene would be one speaking up like this?

Surprised the OP started a new thread rather than post it in the Feel Good Deportation Stories thread. Don't think there is much sympathy for these women when the OP says:

And defendants are never reimbursed for legal costs incurred for prosecutions that are dropped or otherwise not otherwise successful, that is not how the legal system works in this country (an exception being a "not jury" verdict at the conclusion of the trial in which the judge rules that the prosecution was frivolous and compels plaintiffs to pay defendant's attorneys fees).
