All the racist stuff he says his plans to deport people and how expensive and ridiculous that would actually be. His admiration of Hitler. Him seeming to follow the playbooks of leaders like Hitler and Putin. His “friendship” with Putin and the idea that the US could suddenly be an ally of Russia. The things he’s said and done in support of police brutality. How constantly he lies. How ridiculous and asinine his lies are. The things people in his first administration witnessed and tried to warn the country of. Mike Pence being almost killed by his supporters. His messaging to the Proud Boys. His encouragement of violence. His notions that so many new organizations should lose their broadcasting licenses. His Supreme Court picks. When he stole all those boxes of classified documents… like wtf was that?! Him being BFFs with Jefferey Epstein. Trump university being a total joke and getting shut down because of it. The things he’s said about his daughter, really sexual things. Things he said about young women. Insisting on signing his name on stimulus checks, when no president has ever done that before, because he’s an egomaniac and wanted people to think they came from him even though he and the Republicans were against it. His constant 3am crazy tweets. How reactionary he is. How unhinged he is, sometimes even at Fox News, because they’re not bowing down to him enough. His phone calls into Fox News saying crazy shit. His childlike understanding of foreign policy. You could look up stuff on any of those and you’ll be amazed!! Those are just things off the top of my head, but I could keep going.

You're absolutely right but many ppl who would never hv voted for him chose to do so bcos they chose the lesser of 2 evils. I think you're not talking abt the ekephant in the room and that's the genocide in Gaza. They probably should mot trust Trump on stopping that genocide but they're desperate and willing to try anything. At the very least acknowledge the elephant in the room instead of bypassing the issue completely.

Doesn’t any concept of future checks and balances on Trump assume he will abide by some rules. Sadly if he completes a coup from a position of seniority its hard to see how he can be stopped.

[@smellypunks]

Trump got lucky with the economic cycle last time around. Good chance there will be a recession during his second term.

[@OneAndOnlyMe]

Silver lining, he can't run for a third term. (And before any simpletons suggest he can change the constitution, that isn't an easy task and would require ratification by three quarters of the states, as well as House approval.)

Hitler rose to power in a democracy. It didn't stop him becoming a dictator and murdering millions of German citizens.

[@marianhunt8899]

He will pack those institutions with his crony friends. He is already a fantastic hate preacher which is essential to keep a nation divided so that they harm eachother and not those with extreme wealth and power who benefit financially from all the hate and chaos. Meanwhile nothing gets done to help citizens or improve the country. It's just a modern version of 'divide and conquer'.

Trump doesn't need to run again. A few payments under the table from his billionaire backers & he will happily sit back & wait to retire. Vance is the one who will actually run the country, and he wants a Theocracy.

I am exceedingly fond of your economic lectures. They are informative, interesting and thought provoking. However, Richard mate please keep off international politics and climate change as some of your thoughts are a bit eccentric. "The Labour Party centre-right ??" for example . Cheers.

[@helenheenan3447]

The Labour Party has moved far to the right from where it was even under Blair. Calling it centre-right simply reflects the shift that both Tories and Labour have made to the right.

[@KamilSkalny]

Fascism. According to Mussolini is when "Everything (exists) within the state, nothing (exists) outside the state and nothing (exists) against the state." Term 'Fascism' because of "fasci di combattimento" from early 20's. Literally militarised unions of former combatant of Grate War. Mussolini never liked that word and always argue with wester journalists. It didn't reflect, in his mind, the true nature of his movement. He preferred the word 'corporationist' but 'fascist' sticked anyway. So calling Trump fascist is odd. Kamala and Democrats on the other hands. The want US Government to control everything and everyone. At least we agree that Trump won't change much. Regime will never allow him to do it.

Clement Attlee probably provide the only systainable model of what UK as an island berefit of resources can achieve. Uk not have the bountiful wealth of Australua or Canada...anything else means debt to sustain sicial services.

[@alanhat5252]

The UK was the world's supplier, each in their time, of coal, steel, tin, woven cloth & many other things. What changed is that politicians got bored with their very expensive country piles falling down holes & the air becoming unbreathable. Being British politicians they weren't about to regulate to make it safe so they shut it down! Since 1918 that's been our fault for not picking politicians who will do their job to benefit us!

Mass deportations. What’s not to like? Most immigrants make us poorer, and the upside- being able to keep the virtue-signalling as a weapon in the back pocket, is undermined.

[@chrisjudd-uc7sh]

Trump is a symptom of a country where large numbers are desperate for something to be done. Many do see uncontrolled immigration a big issue, they also have often to work doing 2 jobs one after the other at the equivalent of £6 per hour. People seek happiness and the political system offers little hope, Trump does. It really is nearly as bad here and those in charge and doing the commentating often are those whose lifestyles deprive them of a realistic perspective. You are right the answer has to be left of centre but that does not mean appeasing those that need to be told where the line is. In short we need to have a total rethink of what values we want our society to have in terms of what gives enough material comfort without enticing such inequality. I fear the 'left' may be just as lost in the fog as the 'right' on tacking this issue. Social media and the media generally has to be controlled we must find those with moral virtue to set new parameters as many within our society are damaged goods.

What even the advocates of MMT do not realize is that the problem at the core the economy is the present monetary paradigm for the creation and distribution of new money which is Debt ONLY. The word ONLY designates it as a monopoly paradigm. The last monopoly paradigm we had to deal with was Salvation Via Roman Catholic Scraments ONLY and The Reformation was the result. We need a new monetary paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting for an economic Reformation.
