    You still don’t get it do you.

    You’re on the side of government overreach, tyranny and censorship

    It’s easy for you to dismiss me as “easily read” because you don’t like my opinions.

    It’s not easy for you to self reflect and realise that I could actually be more knowledgeable than you on geopolitics and economics.

    I think we need to rename this the fishing thread.

    Trump won the popular vote
    312 Electoral College votes likely
    GOP took the Senate (54+ seats)
    GOP on track to gain in the House

    Defeated a $1+ BILLION campaign, Hollywood, Big Tech, Big Business, censorship regime.

    And it wasn't even close.

    The legacy media have revealed their insane bias across the world as well.

    When they couldn't beat him, they tried to bankrupt him.
    When they couldn’t bankrupt him, they tried to jail him.
    When they couldn’t jail him, they tried to kill him.
    When that didn’t work.. the greatest political comeback in history happened.

    Great day.

    It's good to see that you're not taking this personally

    Forgive me, but when like 10 people insult you and gang up on you constantly, only to be proven massively wrong, it does feel quite nice.

    Os, Trump winning doesn't make you "right" - that's an odd flex.

    With that knowledge of economics, can you work out who will be buying the new American debt that will be incurred by the tax cuts and increased spending?

    (Clue - it's China).

    I have a suspicion he won't make it to mid January to take over, tbh. Which is another reason that the world is in a parlous state.

    There is a big difference between reading a lot from one specific point of view and being well-read.

    If he retires as President Vance will pardon him so the fear of imprisonment goes away, and Trump can concentrate on golf <ok>

    I don't normally go on the politics thread. I remember why.

    The most depressing thing is Os believing that he is somehow better off because of Trump.

    The world is a much better, safer and more prosperous place because of this decision.

    Only a few brainwashed lefties would disagree

    None of us know for sure. We can but wait and watch. I hope you're right. I fear you're not.

    ^^^This.

    However, as much as it pains me, Os has a 'small' point.

    Over 50% of the voting public in the US see something in him.

    However O's, don't go celebrating "I was right" though as the amount of BS you spout on here, eventually one thing would happen. Very Trump like politics actually - say it enough times and it happened and was true....

    We are not there, so see it from the outside and perhaps that is what is needed to take a step back and look in, rather than from within.

    Maybe he will be the greatest President ever. Or Maybe not.

    TBH it's probably less that that because of how many states vote for the Republican candidate regardless of who it is.
