Indyvidual,

You're not the dumbest person on earth, but you'd
sure better hope he doesn't die.

Indyvidual,

You ask how much more hateful and inciteful can one become?

It seems there's no end in sight to US president's actions.

What is hateful and has caused quite a stir is that the US
president signs an executive order to use Guantanamo Bay
into a migrant detention centre.

This has sparked an outcry. Why aren't you condenming that?

It's morally indefensible and raises significant civil
liberties and humanitarian concerns.

The Prime Minister of Belgium writer on X:

Hours after the Holocaust Memorial Day Trump opens a prison
for immigrants at Guantanamo".

Banjo,

I know what those things are. But just describing them and then insinuating that they apply to Trump isn't all that useful, valid or even rigorous.

For example, while you might be able to distort Trump's views to suit this or that assertion, why does it apply to him and not for example the Biden regime. Were they less authoritarian, less populist, less imperialistic (as per your definition) that Trump 2.0 or even Trump 1.0?

If you distort and apply these definitions to Trump but ignore the fact that, using those same criteria, they apply to almost every president since Teddy Roosevelt, then of what use is it?

Zero.

"president signs an executive order to use Guantanamo Bay into a migrant detention centre."

president signs an executive order to turn Guantanamo Bay into a illegal immigrants detention centre.

There you go....fixed it for you.

"It seems there's no end in sight to US president's actions."
Foxy gets something right. Trump promised massive change and in line with keeping his promises he's implementing those changes. (a politician keeping his promises...no wonder Foxy's confused).

MAGA is changing the US. Soon it will change the world. What a great time to be alive.

Hi Ho Hi Ho, off to Guantanamo they go. President Trump announced that these people are serious criminals who have committed crimes in the US. Venezuela's crime rate dropped by 77% when their scum moved illegally to the US. They will find it harder to move from Gitmo, where they will probably die. Yippee.

I think that most rational people would find that
when asked - "What motivates you?" Would find -
An answer of - " Malice" or "Money" or "Power" or all
three - inappropirate.

Not for Trump supporters. He is a character and a symbol
who's viewed as being more than a mere mortal by his
MAGA cultists.

It's all part and parcel of the MAGA movement's intense
fact aversion and widespread resistance to observing
the truth and reality.

America is in regression.

In his role Trump is given permission for revenge, craven
power, and permission for all of them to engage in the
worst human behaviour.

It must be great for his supporters to have a leader
who is a genius, and is never wrong and has amazing genes,
a reality TV star, and now an aspiring dictator who can
do what he wants - because only he can "Save America"
and the world. A type of God and Messiah?

Wow. Breathtaking!

What Trump says and what he does are two different things.

Will he really do what he says regarding Guantanamo Bay?

He says he will send migrants who are in the US illegally
to a new detention centre in Guantanamo Bay.

Trump said up tp 30,000 migrants would be sent to the
US facility in Cuba.

No timeline has been given for when the centre will open
or when migrants will start to be sent there.

"We're going to send them out to Guantanamo Bay" Trump
said but did not elaborate.
