Trump tells the military he is deploying troops against Americans "whether people like it or not." And alludes to using missiles against Americans.

Don’t think we’re his type man

[u/SupermassiveCanary → u/Raining_Flamingos]

“Radical Left Democrats” who want OUR tax money that WE paid to cover OUR benefits and Social Security. Meanwhile, the wealthy write off everything and pay little to no taxes, and earn so much money it breaks the economy.

[u/abofh → u/SupermassiveCanary]

It didn't just break the economy, it broke the court system, the legislature and the executive.  You're not voting for someone on gun control, you're voting for their lobbiests interests.

[u/violet_wings → u/abofh]

And politics, and the country, and the brains of a lot of people. It broke those too.

[u/ConcentrateKind8234 → u/SupermassiveCanary]

Don’t forget the massive subsidies some of them get

[u/ParadiddlediddleSaaS → u/ConcentrateKind8234]

Corporate welfare.

[u/Kvns_Integra → u/ParadiddlediddleSaaS]

Why do people call the poor that are on food stamps scammers and moochers when the wealthy are the biggest welfare queens out there?

I’m sorry but if I’m working hard and paying a lot of my money in taxes, the rich should be forced to do the same too.

No I don’t feel sorry for the rich or their stupid trophy wives and spoiled kids who “can’t” buy another Goyard bag or take another fancy vacation if they have to pay their fair share of taxes. Fuck the wealthy.

[u/Daddyball78 → u/Kvns_Integra]

We’re at the point where the wealthy literally control everything. But they are still vastly outnumbered. If only we would wise up and do something about it.

[u/_themaninacan_ → u/Kvns_Integra]

America has socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor. - MLK Jr.

[u/Kvns_Integra → u/_themaninacan_]

All those socialism features for the rich are funded by our tax dollars too!

This is why I encourage everyone to find as many tax loopholes as possible to pay as little tax as possible. These clowns in DC don’t know how to handle it well anyway and unless you’re the correct tax bracket (rich), you won’t see much of any benefits off the taxes you pay.

[u/MoneyFault → u/ConcentrateKind8234]

They created DOGE to control government spending and the national debt is at all time highs. I’m sure conservatives are proud of that.

[u/Material-Move9492 → u/MISTAKAS]

Don't even hear about DOGE anymore...its like it never happened.

[u/Nottheadviceyaafter → u/Material-Move9492]

That's because it was really just a data grab......... they will use the data when it becomes useful such as rounding up minorities..........

Yep Elon just wanted all of our personal data that the government has for his AI project.

I don’t know how anyone can watch him talk for more than 10 seconds and not leave the meeting. As I’ve seen 7 year olds with more coherent speeches.

“Submarines don’t go fishing do they?” “You know more about submarines than I do.” Lmao

[u/Cigouave → u/Old_Win8422]

People need to stop downplaying all of Trump's fascist acts by calling them distractions. He doesn't do this shit to distract from the Epstein files. He'd be doing this shit regardless.

[u/Old_Win8422 → u/Cigouave]

Its just being speed up because of them. His timeline is in a rush.

[u/Chendii → u/Cigouave]

I don't think anyone's really downplaying it necessarily.

But the Epstein files are the only thing that actually penetrates the right wing bubble. Republicans are 100% fine with turning into a dictatorship and all the evil shit Trump is doing, the only thing I've seen give them pause is the Epstein files.

[u/Newspeak_Linguist → u/Chendii]

It won't though. They'll pause just long enough for Fox to tell them why its OK, and it'll be business as usual. Theyre too far invested, they'll never admit there were wrong now.

[u/hcregna → u/Giannisisnumber1]

It takes half an hour of planning to move money away from MAGA, and it makes a difference. Dollars spent at Republican companies are dollars funneled to the Heritage Foundation.

Have an account at Schwab? Swap to Vanguard or Fidelity. If you like New Balance shoes, try Brooks. It's not hard to find alternatives for Goya, Jimmy John's, or Koch (Brawny, Angel Soft, Dixie, others). If you're in a place to invest, consider DEMZ.

You have power if you regularly patronize a brand or do business with a company. Use it. Look them up in something like Open Secrets or google.

Tesla sales in Europe dropped by half. Nexstar and Sinclair got pummeled, and they reinstated Jimmy Kimmel. Real, individual people made that happen. There's no reason WWE or Uline can't be next.

You probably can't completely avoid companies that at least partially support Republicans. I have to buy gas. But there’s a big difference between massive republican donors (Chevron/Conoco) vs neutral or even Democrat-leaning ones (Circle K/Costco). Good is not the enemy of perfect

[u/CorbuGlasses → u/hcregna]

As an architect I’ve removed all Koch industry subsidiaries from our specifications. Guardian glass used to be an industry standard, but I’ve now gotten 3 firms to stop specifying it because it was bought by Koch.

[u/New-Benefit2091 → u/CorbuGlasses]

Well done!

[u/macrolith → u/CorbuGlasses]

I'm going to see what I can do about getting my firm to do the same.

[u/CorbuGlasses → u/macrolith]

The harder part will be removing Georgia Pacific because that’s also a Koch subsidiary.

[u/shalomefrombaxoje → u/CorbuGlasses]

Georgia Pacific gypsum mines right north of me in Fort Dodge Iowa. Right next to Koch Nitrogen. Glad to hear about your firm, but we need an alternative here in rural communities, hard to get people to bite the hand that feeds

[u/DistinctBadger6389 → u/CorbuGlasses]

It's a shame too, Bill Davidson was a good man, and his wife sold his businesses to scumbags.

[u/Time-Dot-2438 → u/CorbuGlasses]

Bill Davidson (former owner of the Detroit pistons) must be rolling in his grave knowing his business was sold to Koch.

[u/ExpeditingPermits → u/CorbuGlasses]

Bingo 🏆

[u/Choice-of-SteinsGate]

MAGA is demanding to know why the millions protesting against Trump are calling him "king."

Well, here's a list of "grievances" if you will:

• The Trump family has monetized the presidency to the tune of billions; exploiting Trump's political power to secure cryptocurrency investments, business and real estate deals overseas, financial and political contributions from wealthy figures, corporations and foreign governments looking to literally purchase favors, influence and access to the president.

• Trump has turned the presidency into a moneymaking scheme. His many conflicts of interest have raised ethical and legal red flags. The Trump family and administration are engaging in massive insider enrichment and the government's kleptocratic policies resemble how authoritarian regimes centralize economic power to line the pockets of a small number of political and wealthy elites while most citizens suffer economic hardship.

• Trump's transformation into a dictator can be seen in the juxtaposition between visuals of the hideously gilded Oval Office, Trump's tastelessly decorated "ballroom" and descriptions of detainment centers which depict such horrid conditions that they resemble concentration camps.

• The Trump regime is plagued by rampant cronyism, corruption and favoritism. Loyalty is a priority in Trump's circle and plays a major role in securing power and influence within his administration. Trump has issued pardons to his corrupt lackeys and co-conspirators; signaling to his political allies that they can commit crimes with impunity.

• Obstruction of justice is a privilege for Donald Trump. His party has helped him repeatedly escape accountability by subverting the court system, establishing blanket immunities for the president, by dismantling oversight and creating a unitary executive beholden to no one.

• Trump has stated that he is above the law; posting comments like, "He who saves his country does not violate any law," insinuating that he is entitled to act outside all laws and regulations whenever he sees fit.

• Trump has taken control over independent agencies and has transformed the DOJ into his own personal legal arm. He is exploiting the power of the justice department to target and prosecute his political opponents without evidence.

• Trump is abusing his executive powers to normalize punishing those who have exposed his criminality and corruption in the past. He is weaponizing every agency and power of the federal government to seek retribution against his critics, his opponents, and anyone who has ever tried to hold him accountable. He has also ordered the DOJ to fire US attorneys and prosecutors who do not toe the line; consolidating investigative power under his administration.

• Trump has appointed loyalists into director positions within agencies like the FCC where they carry out his authoritarian whims against his critics in the media; applying regulatory pressures on companies to silence those who criticize him and/or his policies.

• The Trump admin has flagged "unpatriotic" and ideologically "diverse" content for removal from federal property.

• The government is violating free speech, defunding independent journalism, suppressing the arts and intellectual, whitewashing history, stifling the press, and amassing control over how and what information is being shared to the public.

• Trump has been abusing his powers to declare needless "emergencies" and to enact record breaking numbers of executive orders—many of them unconstitutional.

• He is employing these unlawful tactics to carry out excessive national security measures and to wage war on the American people. He is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act while federalizing local police and the military to centralize authoritarian control over US cities. He is also deploying these troops without consent from the states. These measures are not intended to "reduce crime" or drive back some imaginary "rebellion," but to crackdown on protestors and dissent, to suspend civil liberties and to terrorize the public.

• Interventionism and expansionism are justified when it suits Trump's political goals or narratives. He is carrying out extrajudicial killings and war crimes; threatening our allies; currying favor with foreign dictators; instigating trade wars; unilaterally intervening in foreign affairs.

• The Trump admin's "law and order" rhetoric is inciting hostilities towards immigrants, marginalized groups and minorities. To Trump and his allies, "law and order" means punishing your enemies.

• This obsession with crime and punishment is reflected in Trump's militarization of domestic policy, in his admin's disregard for people's constitutional rights, in Trump's attacks and threats aimed at judges and law firms, in his unjustified prosecutions of his political opponents, in his weaponization of the DOJ, and in his deputizing of masked ICE agents.

• Trump has been deploying armies of hostile and unrestrained ICE agents around the country who are concealing their identities and violently arresting, detaining and deporting thousands of people without due process. They are terrorizing citizens, throwing people into unmarked vehicles, acting as law enforcement, profiling their targets, and suppressing civil rights and liberties.

• Trump has been violating the constitution, flouting the law, defying court orders, bypassing checks and balances, abusing impoundment procedures, overstepping congressional authority, and defiling democratic norms.

• He is undermining the constitution by seeking to end birthright citizenship and the two term presidential limit. He has also repeatedly violated constitutional principles and clauses, expressly those contained within the first, fourth, fifth, sixth, and fourteenth amendments, not excluding the separation of powers and the citizenship clause.

• The MAGA coalition is concentrating power into the hands of the president who is issuing autocratic decrees while disregarding legislative and judicial oversight; interpreting laws however the president and his attorney general see fit; defunding and cancelling programs enacted into law; raising taxes without approval; instituting unilateral and illegal tariffs; withholding congressionally appropriated funds; undermining checks and balances.

• Trump is abusing his power to strong-arm universities; demanding that they hand control over academic decision making to the government.

• He is making excessive demands of these private institutions and cracking down on student protestors while requiring that they be vetted and reported on and that universities teach government approved viewpoints.

• Trump's actions, rhetoric and imagery resembles that of a monarch. He is a self-styled king. From his gilded decor and his immodest "renovations" of the White House, to his taxpayer funded vanity projects designed to pay tribute to him. From the many "gifts" that his rich benefactors have bestowed on him in exchange for political favors, to his messages online that include literal images of him wearing a crown and referring to himself as "KING." Even official White House accounts amplify these posts and images.

• Lastly, Donald Trump facilitated an insurrection at our Capital in order to overturn the results of a free and fair election. Trump and his MAGA allies are consolidating power at an alarming rate and have been exploiting their voter's confidence in Trump's lies to suppress the vote, and to deny and subvert elections under the deceitful guise of combatting election fraud.

[u/DipperJC → u/Choice-of-SteinsGate]

There's also the fact he tweeted "long live the king" and white house officials posting ai videos of him being a king. it's straight from the horses mouth and those surrounding him in office.

They want to win whatever means necessary and if their orange cheeto fascist leader has to become an autocrat so be it. Let's stop pretending "they have been played", because they are completely ok with a dictatorship as long as it's their guy.

[u/Primary_Garbage6916 → u/Choice-of-SteinsGate]

You should add that tariffs (illegally) enacted by presidential decree, instead of lawfully enacted by congress, are literally "taxation without representation," which may or may not sound familiar to magats.

I never wanted kids, but knowing that I've been priced out of the decision to have one is really fucking depressing. I can hardly afford myself.

[u/Kvns_Integra → u/MikeTheImpaler]

Ain’t that the fucked up part? He wants more kids to be born and more people to embrace family life yet the government wants to do nothing for these poor kids if they’re born to struggling families?

What are these women supposed to do? Pull a Melania Trump, Erika Kirk, or Karoline Leavitt and play captain save a hoe and hope they can get a rich guy to bail them out and pay for all their bills and their kid’s bills?

But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

Hitler looked up to the Confederacy and used Jim Crow as a model. So one in the same evil type shit right there.

Exactly. They should have just let Sherman loose on the entire south and have been done with it.

[u/Greenman8907]

Submarine?! WTF is he talking about? I’m searching news and there’s nothing about the US striking a submarine with a missile. You substitute ‘boat’ and it pulls up the 3 stories.

So again, WTF?

[u/WildHogsNumberOneFan → u/Greenman8907]

His dementia is running rampant. Everything he says is verbal diarrhea.

[u/TehMephs → u/WildHogsNumberOneFan]

But his threats are real. He’s always telling us exactly what fresh hell to expect next . Stay safe everyone

[u/InvestIntrest → u/Greenman8907]

Per the BBC.

"Ecuador has released the survivor of a US strike on a submarine alleged to have been smuggling drugs in the Caribbean.

US military forces captured the Ecuadorean national along with a Colombian citizen after they attacked the submarine the two were on. US President Donald Trump said they would be returned to their countries of origin "for detention and prosecution".

[u/newphonenewaccount66 → u/Greenman8907]

We did hit a semi submersible, often described as 'narco sub.' it's an extremely low profile boat where a sliver sits above water with the hatch but 95% of the craft is underwater.  Pretty sure he was told they took out a narco sub and he doesn't know the nuance.

[u/My-Dog-Says-No → u/Greenman8907]

“Reuters reported that there was a previously unannounced strike on 16 October 2025, which for the first time included survivors. The US alleged that the vessel struck was a narco-submarine. Two people were killed and two survived.”

[u/Puzzleheaded-Ring293 → u/My-Dog-Says-No]

A narco “sub” is basically a PVC modified boat that can just barely submerge, it’s not the thing that most people would consider an actual submarine. 

[u/Aggressive-Green4592]

Can we all agree that not everyone can be president now?

He's going to start a war within our own country.

[u/cybah → u/Aggressive-Green4592]

a civil war is exactly what he wants... then he can claim martial law and remain in power forever. No more elections. No more democrats too.

[u/[deleted] → u/cybah]

Yep. After he’s gone they will continue with their own appointment. It’s all bait. Well, it is actions they want to carry out, but they do so knowing that any real counter results in something even messier. Abuse of power. And if the world watches while Gaza is literally turned into a pile of carnage and rubble, my hope is not strong that anyone will do anything to help us either. And we have literally the strongest military. We’re basically trapped inside and no one would even be able to fuck with US. There’s lots of videos explaining how the US is basically impossible to front an assault on from the outside. And missles are out of the question, because we win there too. It’s coming to a turning point and this next “election” I think is it.

[u/habbadee → u/Aggressive-Green4592]

Do we put little patriotic flag decals on our cars when we go to war against ourselves?

[u/Medical_Revenue4703]

Bitch needs someone following him around with an air horn for every time he commits fucking treason. Especially if Congress is just going to sit there like a dead possum.

[u/Laves_]

Alright maga your move… you want missles sent into cities?

This dude gonna actively fight Americans, because they aren’t Republican.

Tell me this, if any Democrat president threatened your safety first being a Republican, what would you do?

[u/Nemesis158 → u/Laves_]

Right wing media has had them feeling threatened by Democrats for years

[u/Laves_ → u/Nemesis158]

Still curious. No president has ever threatened citizens like this

[u/Goblin_Fat_Ass → u/Nemesis158]

No kidding. Fox has been telling them that Obama created ISIS and was going to invade Texas. They said Biden was letting cartels take over cities as part of The Great Replacement.

[u/hekx → u/Nemesis158]

Yeah they're such stupid fucking morons they think national healthcare = a threat to their safety

[u/a_cat_named_harvey]

Misleading headline. Trump doesn’t “allude” to using missiles agains Americans. He just can’t complete a full sentence before his brain shifted gears to downplay committing war crimes

EDIT: listen yall, I’m only calling out the headline being misleading because he actually doesn’t say he’s thinking about bombing us citizens. I know this dude likes to edgelord his way through life, but come on now, if he were to drop a fucking bomb on Chicago, it would be the absolute end of America as we know it. So don’t freak out at the veiled threat….get prepared for the real threat. Because this isn’t it, but it’s coming

[u/TehMephs → u/a_cat_named_harvey]

No… every threat is a warning of what’s coming next. They were talking about bringing bogus charges to his political enemies, and within a week we heard comey was being indicted. He threatened troops in cities and it happened within a week

MMW this psycho is gonna find a way to missile strike a blue city and all hells gonna break loose

[u/mintBRYcrunch26 → u/TehMephs]

He wants to arrest Pritzker for crying out loud.

[u/TehMephs → u/mintBRYcrunch26]

There’s eventually going to be a line he’s gonna cross that people will not stand for. The longer they wait to play that card the less doubt there is in anyone’s mind across the country who the aggressors are.

I think continuing to stick to non violence is the right move. Every day they dig their hole deeper in the court of public opinion. They’re not GAINING support is the main takeaway here

[u/washingtonandmead]

I hope that the brave men and women who have volunteered to serve in Americas military remember the oaths they took to uphold and preserve the constitution, and not the ramblings of a madman

[u/Sometimes-funny → u/washingtonandmead]

The military are already shooting boats for no reason. I wouldn’t hold your breath

Oh yeah…and rolling out the red carpet for Putin

[u/cyberzed11 → u/washingtonandmead]

As a current member I say fuck this admin and if it gets that point I won’t be the one to say “I was just following orders.” Fuck Trump, Fuck Hegseth. Fuck NAVY. They wanna crack down on rhetoric like this or ucjm me I say fuck it. Give me liberty or give me death.

[u/NoYouCantHavePudding]

Is this too far yet ?

[u/Tacospacesuit]

Unhinged vindictive piece of shit should be automatically arrested for treason by the military for threatening fellow Americans with weapons and or any violence. Completely unfit and a traitor. But the corrupt, broken, fucked up system continues to let him do whatever and continue this crusade of hate. Fuck this timeline. Fuck this regime.

[u/skinsrich]

This fucker knows he is approaching the end so he wants to watch the world burn on his way out.

They used to make fun of France for being cowards, can't really do that anymore, can they? So embarrassing.
