I'm wondering and has anyone else thought about this...

[Dan]

Trump is President - thinking about his mental state as it is now.

India and Pakistan are actively engaging in conflict. Both of them have nuclear weapons. Do we have any ability to influence or rather de-escalate this situation and how will Trump react if there is an escalation in the conflict.

The wonderful Tariffs will start impacting us within the next couple weeks. Within a month, there might be shortages (major or minor, who knows) and it will be hard to hide or lie about the impacts.

Companies will start to lay off people in response to the economic impact of the Tariffs - this will not be good public news for Trump and the nation.

The tourist industry (airlines, hotels, airlines, vacation resorts, restaurants) starts to feel the impact of foreigners no longer visiting America.

We start to experience high unemployment with inflation - and the media no longer buys that it's Biden fault.

At some point we will start to feel the impact of the cuts to the Federal Workforce. Just think what is happening to the airline travel.

In the fall we will start to feel the impact of the cuts (school lunches, senior support, etc.) to our social programs.

Assuming that the GOP passes the budget with an estimated $500 billion cut to Medicaid and other programs. Or rather the transfer of responsibility to the States from the Federal Government. Some states might be able to adjust to the cutoff of federal funds, but the Red states probably not. So, now, there will be an influx of people without health care combined with reduced funding to the hospitals.

As someone mentioned - he and his administration are eliminating subject matter experts, alienating the institutions where normally he could solicit advice and guidance.

I suspect that there will be more protests, larger protests all around the nation.

The mainstream media decides to start telling the truth because it can no longer be covered up.

He has selected a Cabinet not based on their abilities but rather for their ability to be "kiss-ass". This is when he will need the best advice possible.

The GOP Congress who has been absence in their responsibility to be part of the government - continue their role as Trump's lapdog.

I am wondering, how will the stable genius handle all of these issues? How will he react, respond and deal with all of these issues that he no control over?

Just wondering, anyone else thinking about these issues (and there are more that I didn't think of during this rant) and how Trump will deal with these things. At a time that we will need a president rather than a reality star - what happens? How does he cope with reality, a reality of not nice things.

[Deuxcents]

1. He'll punt the responsibility of being president after blaming Biden n the radical left judges for the mess we're in

[Dan]

3. By punting -

Do you mean the responsibilities of the Presidency OR the Presidency?

If the first - there is no avoidance of the responsibilities - or maybe you mean, he will hide from the Press, the Public?

Second - resign? We could be so lucky, but keep in mind - JD Vance has no real government experience either.

[Deuxcents]

6. The responsibilities..he likes the title but not the work that needs to go into it. He'll pass those on to Marco

Or someone else as unqualified as he is. Just my opinion, of course.

[Dan]

8. Given the magnitude of the issues I listed...

Is that acceptable and what happens to the nation?

[Justice matters.]

15. The felon will not resign.

He knows judge Merchan can restart the sentencing (paused without prejudice) and any possibility of jailtime for his 34 felonies is not one of his options...

[Bread and Circuses]

2. Conventional wisdom is when a tyrant experiences,,,,

Criticism , Ridicule or Resistance, he will double - down,

I expect that #47 will unleash goons on the citizens. Perhaps he’ll shut down the country and say there is a plague,
Expect the worse and multiply it by 10.

[hedda_foil]

4. He may not have to just say there's a plague. There may actually be a real one.

[Dan]

5. WOW, all I can say is WOW.

But continuing with your thought... how will the military respond now that it appears that the Sec. of Defense is considering eliminating 20% of the senior general staff.

[canetoad]

7. All I can say is

I'm really glad to be out of the way in our oceanic corner of the world.

[Silent Type]

9. It's definitely a lot to juggle effectively for trump's admin.

[JBTaurus83]

10. If India and Pakistan

Were to use tactical nukes, he would want to use them too. He can’t have someone else look stronger. He kept asking why he couldn’t use them in the first term.

[usonian]

11. It's a plan. He's kookoo for a coup.

Details at 11 here:

All for his Lord Putin. He will fail.

[Bayard]

12. I hope he deals with these things by having a massive coronary,

Especially since he's the one causing all these things.

[Dan]

16. Laughing 😃

[Skittles]

13. excellent list

adding lack of FEMA support after disasters

yes indeed

and I think Trump is already buckling under pressure from the criticism, lashing out at even the Wall Street Fucking Journal......it's a good thing AT LEAST FOR NOW he cannot have his critics rounded up and sent to camps

[Dan]

17. And when the pressures increase

What happens then?

I wonder does he even have the mental bandwidth to handle anymore bad news that reflects on him.

[Skittles]

22. as long as the media and interviewers continue to pretend he is a real president

he will continue destroying America

[Hornedfrog2000]

14. He will make chaose wherever

He doesnt know or care what will happen, but they will find a way to short the stock market, cash out more wealth. I assume stocks will collapse at some point, and all the poor people will be holding worthless stocks.

[Dan]

18. Great depression stuff

People committed suicide but today we appear to be more violent.

[PufPuf23]

19. Suspect Trump intends to be a war time POTUS.

There are hot spots all over the globe.

Too many would be pleased should the US go on war time footing.

[Dan]

20. God, I hope you're wrong

While I know it would appeal to his sick form of masculinity.

[PufPuf23]

21. Want to be wrong as well.

Agree, think Trump gets off voicing thoughts of aggression and violence.

Psychopathic.

[Blue Full Moon]

23. He will do whatever Wormtongue says or what he sees on TV.
