Trump's Second Term

Now he has a problem with the GOP not caring about people??

Yeah. It took right up to the point he realised the Trump regime wasn't going to benefit him to appreciate how that feels. Not that he gives a ◊◊◊◊ how everyone else feels, but now he has at least a sense of how all those people who don't matter feel, and he doesn't like it.

I wonder if it is just being him or if he is doing that as a concept he can actually grasp and has a plan of.

That's a pretty good question. I think it's something that he mostly just stumbled into- he honestly does think that even things that it really does take a rocket scientist (or the equivalent for any given issue) to understand are easy things for him to grasp, and he's tapped into that demographic that wants all problems and their solutions to be simple, easily-reducible ones. Add that to the "conservatives" who aren't so much actually conservative as they are reactionary, who don't so much disagree with liberals as they resent them- a population that I think he does consciously exploit- and he has a pretty broad base to appeal to.

And Farrah seems to be doing pretty well here in the UK. Why do personality cults form around people possessing such horrible ones?

They stand out from the crowd. Literally, that's it.

Every other congress-critter and parliamentarian on both sides of the Atlantic are po-faced nonentities in suits mostly, some of whom were probably virgins long after they left university. They blend in perfectly with any crowd. They are the faceless extras who got picked last at dodge-ball. That's how they got into politics. Nobody else wanted the jobs, so they took them.

People like Trump and Farage get cults because they are such shining examples of utterly shameless, scruple-free, self-promoting ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊. In a world without visible leaders, the cults glom onto whatever is available.

The question whether society should pay for basic healthcare to everyone living in it is completely separate from the question whether said care is provided economically.
When I hear stories of overpriced hotel rooms for migrants, keep in mind that it's not the migrant who is getting the money: it's dometic corruption, nothing else

And the overpriced "hotel room" will be a dingy squat where a family of six will share a room with two single beds, a busted microwave and a single wc down the hall for all twenty rooms on the floor.

There is no way anyone with intelligence could have thought that the Republicans were for reducing the deficit. That Musk was taken in by the propaganda does show he is not as bright as some people claim.

Of course the Republicans were going to do this. The deficit won’t go away of course, it’s just temporarily off the books. Future governments will have to deal with it. And the US credit rating will continue to tank. Making interest rates higher and the burden on future generations almost unbearable. But not Trump’s problem and he can get his billionaire tax cuts through.

I’m confused. In the video pitch he’s branding his fragrances as “Fight, Fight, Fight”. But in another image they’re “Victory 45-47”.

I see he's left out 46, implying that he lost that one. Personal growth, or just didn't think that one through? I suspect the latter.

Is it two different products, “fragrance” and “cologne”? I’m just a bit confused as to which to order!

It's both a floor wax and a dessert topping!

Just take a crap and smear it over your face.
Cheaper, same scent and you'd even look like Trump!
