I can't seem to understand why his base is still supporting him. With all the lies and fuck ups that he has done, threatening the very fundamental democratic system in the US, some people still blindly supports him. Can't people see the legal troubles, that is starting to pile up, that he is in right now? The bankruptcies, Trump Universities, etc. Throwing some of his own allies under the bus just to safe his own skin? Look at Mitch McConnell. The very person that safe his ass from 2 impeachment. But now seems to be a foe to him. And yet...🙄 He truly is a highly accomplished con man. You can con a few thousand people but 70M people? Either these people were really blind or he cheated to ge that much votes which unfortunately were not enough. Didn't cheat enough 🤣 If he runs again, wins and gets away with what he has done, it's going to be over for USA. And mind you, Canada will definitely be dragged into it.
Trump pardoned Bannon for scamming millions from magat suckers.
Trump has no problem with his buddies ripping off his own supporters LOL
jesus christ... i wonder what love Trump would have for Hitler had they lived at the same time... "a great guy, smart! has a thing for jews but... loves his country!"
Trump calls Putin 'genius' and 'savvy' for Ukraine invasion

Alot of the stuff the republican senators and congressmen did, was follow party rule. You have to see that the avg American person is really sick of partisan politics, Trump was a new face, a business man and is what people hoped to make a change in Washington.
Trump a billionaire, declared business bankruptcy, paying creditors pennies on dollars (which means he ripped them off- hard working American people). Yet he is still a billionaire. The fact that he ripped off these creditors and is still a billionaire and says he is a Christian, tell you volumes about his character. A Christian is supposed to be honest, not tell lies, not bear false witness, not commit adultery etc.
There is a stop gap between his public profile (put out by him) and his private/business practices. Trumps famous line in the "Apprentice" - You could see his greed for power in his eyes as he said the line. Look at what society teaches everyone from a young age, be competitive and make money. Be the boss. Make money. People that have sucked in this learning, emulate who they think are successful players (millionaires/billionaires). Shit heads like Trump.
People are drawn to power and to money. That is why they think Trump would do good for them as a president, because he was rich and famous and not tied to partisan politics.
Why do people still believe in him. 1. He was elected President; 2. Alot of Americans can't think for themselves (aren't well educated either); 3. People usually follow the group they are associated with (group mentality); 4. Look bad if they changed their minds.
Most Americans seem to believe they're temporarily inconvenienced millionaires.

Trump was his own man in power. He made mends with the strongest and most feared nations in the world. Do you think the world is safer with Trudeau and Biden than Trump?
I ask the one question: what is better in our world with Biden than Trump. It ain’t gas, but hey let’s blame Putin. Inflation started before the war. So explain; what is better in our world with Biden than Trump
I don't know what you mean by made mends with the strongest and most feared nations in the world.... China, Russia, Great Britain, France, Germany, and Japan. Trump was literally sucking on Putin's Dick, probably giving him a rim-job in their private meetings. Trump threatened a trade war with China (1.1 Billion vs 350 million), a trade war they would loose because China could out perform manufacturing items at a cheaper cost; and has the ability to expand its manufacturing then the US does not. The US economy is hampered by high wages and material costs. China controls the world largest supply of rare earth elements, which is used in any high technology that is produced in the US (so in other word, they have the US by the balls for these materials). Trump basically ignored any western allies, he only sucked up to places that were open for his personal business dealings. He was working for himself, not Americans in general. The Western countries have laws against Leaders in their countries making money/deals that help the leader personally, at the expense of the countries needs. That is why Trump treated his allies so badly when he was in office. Trump used the office of the President of the US to try to enrich himself more through the influence of the Presidents' Office.
The world is safer with Biden and Trudeau, Trump would of ran down the US, and divided the American people (basic Chaos). Trump would of let Russian invade Ukraine with his blessing, causing a genocide of the Ukrainian people. Under Biden the US is taking a stronger stance against Russia for the invasion of the Ukraine.
As for gas the only reason was in 2011-2014 the US started to frack for oil in wells that were considered dead. Because the US was supplying most of the oil for themselves the price of world oil dropped from over 100/barrel to under 40/barrel. This steady rise in the early 2000 in the price of oil was because of the law of supply and demand (less of it, more higher price of products). With the amount of oil being drilled each year, the supply of oil in the ground is disappearing, so the price goes up. This was predicted in the late 1960 by a famous oil well engineer, who predicted the time When the US would hit peak production (production of oil in the US by normal means other than fracking), which was the early 70s. He also predicted the world's peak oil production to be between 2020 and 2050. When the world hits peak production, the price of oil will go higher and higher, which it was doing in the early 2000s because people were speculating with the oil, cause they know the price would go up exponentially when peak production happened. Then the US started fracking for its own oil causing an anomaly in world oil prices for a mere short 10 years. Gas prices should be on the way back up to higher rates.
The other fact is that when a war happens the price of commodities will go up. Gas is a commodity. Putin started his invasion of Ukraine and other countries put economic binders on Russia, so they would see reason and move out of Russia. So Putin is to blame for the Gas price increase due to uncertainty of how the war will turn out.
Inflation started as soon as Covid 19 protocols shut down manufacturing throughout the world... (Trump was president then). One thing about inflation is that when you start noticing stuff not on the stores shelves, or empty shelves, there is a lack of product, lack of product means increase in price(Actually the world at the start of the pandemic, the world still had plenty of stock hanging around). So the price of things increased over time, there inflation happened. It just took this long for the actual prices to start to increase because manufacturing is still not up to the same place as before Covid 19. In Canada the government stated that there would be no inflating prices, but eventually it would have to happen due to shortages of manufactured good.
Blaming Biden for inflation now, when it started with with the Covid 19 shutdowns, world using up its stockpiles of product, and lack of products on shelves, leading to price changes started when Trump was president. You should ask yourself a stupid question, how could Trump stopped this inflation if he was elected again. He couldn't, inflation would of happen anyway becau se of the shutdown of manufacturing during Covid.
Personnally I would be alot happier if some 2nd Amendment fucker shot Trump dead, I couldn't be happier to not ever hear some stupid strategy that would come out of his mouth again. He lost an election. Fair and square. He should retire from the Republican party and let someone new come to represent republicans.
In the past year and in the coming year ahead, any republican candidate that could possibly contend with Trump, will have his reputation tarnished by scandal. Why, because Trump will make it happen.
The Republican party needs to get rid of Trump before he tries to get himself re-elected President.
If he is reelected President, he will have 80% of popular vote. Why, because he knows how to cheat at the electronic voting machines. This is why he can't believe he lost the last Presidential Election. Look at voter turnout. Look at how slim the margarine was in places contested and where he won in by landslide. Some things don't add up. Maybe the people working for him decided to even out the odds at the voting machines by having him loose because they know he was cheating...
Conspiracy Theory....
I mean he can't come out and say I cheated, how the fuck did I lose; as the reason why he thought he won. After all when he pays someone to do something, he thinks its a done deal....
PS A really good sniper can hit anything from 3 miles and out.... Security services can't cover that in a urban area. Or a nice laser weapon on his personal plane, its too big to miss....

If the Justice Dept don't indict him for all the obvious crimes he has committed in the coming months, specifically 1/6, then USA is no different from any 3rd world countries where corruption is a norm and not the exception.
Never heard of a sniper shot from three miles. That’s more than double the longest recorded shot so far as I know. A Canadian sniper had the longest shot in Afghanistan some years back, was right around 2 km which was pretty impressive.
When trump said he was cheated, don't kid yourself, he is the one who actually cheated. That's trump. He won't say that if he didn't do it himself. Its his way of shifting the attention. I just can't fathom that 70M people voted for him if he didn't somehow cheated, with the help of Putin ofc.
You are correct. But I think it was on the snipers 3 or 4 shot when he hit the guy. As for 3 miles; the closer you shoot someone, more police will converge to the shot location, 3 miles gives plenty of time to get away, if the shot could be done. Or use smaller caliber artillery shell. 40 mm bofors L60 should do.
Pretty sure it was the first shot. You think a taliban would just hang around after a .50 calibre bullet whizzed by and wait for another to blow his head off? Doubtful, he’d get the fuck under cover.
Longest shot was once again established by a Canadian sniper, at ~ 3.5 km, in Mosul several years ago. That's of course under particular conditions, but it is astonishingly far for a rifle shot.
