There was a lengthy discussion about Bombardier with the usual Pit diversions in the other thread: > [@The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-trump-administration-the-clusterfuck-continues-part-2/1025298/8626): > > He’s now blackballing Canadian companies by name.

> [@Atamasama](#): > > Basically, he is dragging down other elections because he has turned so many people against the GOP and they know it, even if nobody dares to really advertise that fact. They know the emperor is wearing no clothes, but also know that whoever points that out right now is going to become a pariah to the party. Yeah, a lot of Republicans are quiet quitting Trump. There are a good number that still take every opportunity to kiss Trump’s ass when they speak to the press though. ---

That’s not entirely unreasonable. The brothers should never have been allowed to leave Romania, where they’re now under indictment for human trafficking and sex crimes. The U.S. taxpayer shouldn’t have been saddled with them. ---

But they claim to be so rich, do they not? Slap some fines on them, and then some more. And again. Then deport them to the UK. ---

What? Then some public defender must be representing them in their battle to oppose extradition? Then no one is available (cash bags in hand) to plead their case to the dirty money Trump conduit? I guess they’re throwing themselves on the mercy of racist shit bags who admire their morals​🙄 ---

I don’t imagine they’re exactly destitute as his net worth is estimated at somewhere between ten and twenty million dollars. He’s doing better than most people, unfortunately, but he’s not the type of person who can own a big yacht without having it wreck him financially. ---

OH NO…people are mocking Republicans!!! The video “God Gave Us Trump” shown at Donald’s Dallas “midterm convention” reminded me instantly of an ad Florida’s Ron DeSantis released (and, yes, was mocked for) in 2022, when running for reelection as Governor. It was called “God Made a Fighter” and was wildly over-the-top. What I didn’t realize then was that it was based on a 1978 Paul Harvey radio piece, as detailed here: > [@](#): > > …The video was a riff on the 1978 speech, “So God Made a Farmer,” by radio broadcaster Paul Harvey. > > “And on June 14th, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a caretaker,’ so God gave us Trump,” the narrator says as clips of the president are shown. > > “God said, 'I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, fix this country, work all day, fight the Marxists, eat supper, then go to the Oval Office and stay past midnight at a meeting of the heads of state, so God made Trump,” the video continued. The video, critics said, got more outrageous. “I need somebody with arms strong enough to wrestle the Deep State and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild … so God made Trump,” the voice continued. … Some good comments on the blasphemous cheesiness in the article. > **[‘Unhinged and culty’: Republicans mocked for playing ‘God gave us Trump’ video](https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/unhinged-culty-republicans-mocked-playing-171752771.html)** > > "This should be repulsive to any real Christian," one critic said, "but these people worship Republican Jesus - Donald J. Trump."
