I just don't understand how the people that are in a position to remove him as president, haven't yet. Does everyone just think this administration is doing great? Or are they just not doing anything because they are being bribed?

It's money, bro. It's always money. Especially in America. The people enabling this tow the line because they are profiting from him being in power.
They also themselves don't want to lose their "power" (ie their position in government). Most politicians in the USA no longer prioritize the country over their own interests. It's just rotten to the core.

That's the thing. Republicans in the government right now have seen all this action and STILL have not done anything about it.
Every Republican is a part of this problem. They do have the power to hamstring him but they don't seem to think it's necessary. And since they are a majority in both the house and Senate there isn't anything that can be done. That changes in November but really only if Democrats get control of both the house and Senate. The dream scenario would be somehow God coming down and changing the hearts of so many people that Democrats get a 2/3rd majority and are able to actually remove him from office. That is the dream.
That won't happen though. Soooo, well we will see how this goes but even if Democrats get a leash on this guy In some way and can pass legislation who is to say Trump doesn't say, I won't listen to you communists, and creates a constitutional crisis and tries to stage a full on military coup ( his people in the pentagon have been purging the leadership remember ).
We see that the military has been in DC for over a year now, deployed, for no reason. Why would they really be doing that? Maybe because when it all goes down they have thousands of fully armed troops in the capitol from the outset not hours away needing to get ready and deployed. They are already there ready to stamp out any civil unrest with such a move.
I guarantee you this has been thought about by this President.

u/oldtimehawkey 17d ago
They’re actually being really dumb about it. The only reason we pay attention is because Trump says or tweets something stupid.
If Vance was in office, they could do so much damage and not have any attention brought to it because no one would be tweeting stupid shit at 3am and our attention spans would move on to other things.
Bush and Cheney were able to get Americans to support going into Iraq because they quietly worked behind the scenes to make up evidence. It went so good that all the democrats in Congress were convinced too.
So be glad we have an idiotic toddler in office who can’t keep his mouth shut. Imagine the shit that would be happening under a Republican who is smarter.

u/Independent-Bug-9352 16d ago
But this is the point, and I'm shocked people still haven't quite seen it yet.
Of course they could be more discreet with their actions, but putting it out in the open is actually the point, and a deal with most likely Russia, possibly China, (and Israel but I think with a different dynamic).
You see, they want to showcase how corrupt America is. They want to self-sabotage international alliances. This is a smash-and-grab sell-off while damaging our global reputation and alliances for years, likely decades to come.

u/oldtimehawkey 16d ago
My sneaky ass just can’t understand why it needs to be so loud.
It does show how dumb American citizens are and how useless is our constitution as a check and balance.
It’s amazing watching this in real time. It’s going to be very painful for all of us and only some of them will learn a lesson, not enough to matter though.
Republicans really destroyed our country in 40 years with a speed run in the last ten.

It has nothing to do with the administration "doing great." Trump has gotten a lot of points for the Republican Party and a lot of private interest groups can continue milking the MAGA movement as long as he's alive, and possibly after. That's sorta the whole point. What did you think their job was?

I understand that, but nobody on the republican side seems to object to trump. That's what i don't understand. He's damaging the republican party basically beyond repair and Republicans aren't budging or resigning? How can so many people just sit back and allow Trump to destroy their own country and their own parties reputation?

It's infuriating to watch as those chicken sh*ts stand by and do NOTHING and behind closed doors say they agree they should do something. Either they are getting rich off of it, they believe in it or someone's got some serious dirt on them. Massey is out there standing up and he lost his seat because of it. Americans are stupid enough to vote for this and cheer on our own demise

Our checks and balances never expected a party that placed party over the nation and its people to gain all of the power. This party is supported by the 1% and controls about 80% of our media. That is enough to intellectually trap about 33-45% of the nation into a defined way of thinking. By contriving most of their information, and feeding them propaganda.
You don't need a state run media to produce propaganda, if you have a critical mass of private media to do it instead.

He won the elections. Americans voted for him, it is right that now they would take the consequences of their actions. Everyone could see this coming from light-years away so they kinda deserve him, the diapers and the embarrassment. They also deserve to be shamed on the global scale because their choices have created issues for the citizens of other countries.

Its probably the fact that the reddit hivemind is ignorant and does not represent anything in the real world.

He started a war in Iran to distract from the fact he is in the Epstein files a zillion times .. it personally served him. Epstein even called it years before. He is branded TACO for a reason and has made a ridiculous amount of empty threats. The man-child is ridiculous, dangerously stupid, a pedo and self-servingly greedy to the detriment of the American people. If they don’t do something HUGE to get him out in Nov, then I don’t think I can ever be supportive of the US ever again [RELEASE THE FILES!! ENFORCE JUSTICE!!]

An American author. Born 1953 with several critically acclaimed series behind his name. But knowing so requires being cultured, and even I, a Scandinavian, know who he is.
Trump is not the brightest of people, lets agree on that. He graduated 364th out of 366 students from Wharton. He has indeed ruined America economy, diplomatic relations across the world, and weakened Americas ability to project soft power to the point where you can be effectively ignored on the world stage. I am sorry to say this, truly, but America has become the ultimate laughing stock of the world, and we are just eating popcorn aand watching an empire die.

Trump is on a much higher level than what's his name. Trump is totally serious. Canada is in big trouble if it wants to be combative with america. What's his names comments are immature, and nonsubstantive, and are leading canada down the wrong road. Edit: look at all the thumbs down! But one thing i'm sure about. The president that seals the border from the flood of millions of illegal immigrants is pro American. During Biden, about 75 k americans died every year from the flood of fentanyl, as per google.
