Did he seriously try to name the Strait of Hormuz after himself? By decree?
What a loser.
“I know it doesn't sound right for me to say this, but I'd love my legacy to be made as a great peacemaker, because I really believe I’m a peacemaker. It doesn’t seem it right now, but I think I'm a peacemaker,” he said.
I really don't know if he's the most delusional person or the most stupid to ever exist. How the fuck is he in charge if anything, yet alone a fucking country.
Trump is killing the global economy, pulling everyone into a recession. Prices for daily necessities are skyrocketing, and still Trump has 40% approval rating in the US? Like do those fckng idiots like paying more for everyday stuff? What the fck is wrong with them.
Team sports mentality. Trump is "their guy" and however he royally screws up "at least he's not a Democrat"
Also, a lot of folks said point blank voting for Trump is being a sucker and a fool, and to go against Trump is to admit they got fooled.
Yesterday in an interview I heard the MAGA person was hard core that whatever the government is doing, they secretly have reasons they can't tell us because spilling the Intel would be so dangerous. Pretty much the same crowd whining about a liberal government keeping secrets from them now celebrates secrets being managed by the conservatives.
The alternative would have been a woman of color and damned if they ever suggest that could have been a better outcome.
Additionally, the racists do still have the Hispanics getting screwed over and afraid. The people who got injured and killed were "obnoxious liberals" that are better gone anyway.
Of course this is also as close as they have seen in decades of federal policies trying to make it harder for poor people and women to vote.
There's a lot of vile sentiment and being close to that being followed is worth having problems.
What the fuck is wrong with most Americans as I we are seeing more real action from Canadians while Americans mostly complain online and may go to a protest once in a while if at all, plus and protests are ineffective as team Trump only hear/feel money. You got to hit MAGA where it counts and target boycott their business like the Canadians. If Americans did the same, we would be hearing about all the MAGA businesses going bankrupt. I am very disappointed with Americans and shocked they are so passive.
Born to be free... Free to do fuck all
free as in freedom in north korea
Unlimited freedom like the US style "unlimited" holiday... subject to manager approval... and scrutiny if you're seen to take too much... also not being a team player who is the first to get fired when there are layoffs...
$20B to Iran would open the SoH for 2 weeks, and give time for rest of world to make deals with Iran for permanent access. Markets are losing $3T per week, in addition to future economy destroyed for many years. US will not get a better deal. Buying Iran's uranium (at very high price) is also key to "declaring victory" over denuclearization.
Team dementia Don the postmodern pedophile narcissist crashing out again.
Not that I speak on behalf of Iran but how about this:
We open up the strait of HORMUS if:
Jail and/or foreverbox time already ffs.
This is getting bigger by the day.
Fuel shortages in SE Asia. This affects many industries the US gets products from.
China has suspended mineral shipments to the US and restricted fertilizer exports.
Russia is all but openly aiding Iran and likely instigating some of the actions.
Panic buying is happening in South America.
Diesel is over $10/gallon in some places.
Gas prices are hitting record highs in some places in the US.
And these effects are “rubber band” effects. They lag behind the actual impetus driving them.
This is going to get worse. A lot worse. These events are red flags. And if nation groups start taking sides over the conflict we are going to possibly see a far greater war and massive privation globally.
Trump has no Plan B.
Either the rape he planned goes as expected, or he ends up here, impotently raging at the rest of the world.
Trump has no plan A either. Not even the concept of a plan A. The decision to invade Iran was a combination of his lack of self control from dementia, and being surrounded by yes-men.
Why oh why didn't his mommy take Plan B.....
(I know it wasn't invented yet, lemme have my fun!)
Why didn’t his father use condoms?
the reality check is this: Donald Trump has never been more unpopular in his second term in office
The actual reality check is this: he still hasn't reached the lows he reached during his first term. His approval rating remains above 40%
Is this asshole seriously still whining about the Nobel Peace Prize? Didn't the winner of the prize eventually just give the prize to him?
Tried to. Nobel committee said its non transferable. He might have the shiny medal but on the books it's still hers.
Congress is letting this shit head do this and the people who voted them in think it's great.
The dumbest people on the planet are in charge.
And you can see it online with people saying "what does no kings mean? America doesn't have a king"
It does when congress does nothing and the joke of a court rubber stamps everything.
Yet they just cant see it. Damn that is a level of stupid that exceeds anything ever seen before.
America is now an idiocracy.
Had to double check that this wasn’t an onion article. I’m not even surprised that it’s not.
so THIS is the art of the deal? 🤭
There's nothing to "negotiate" Donald. You leave and pay repairations to Iran for an unprovoked attack. That's it.
When a Roman general behaved in a way that brought Rome into disrepute, he'd be handed over in chains to the enemy.
At least one corrupt leader was also said to be made to drink molten gold until his guts exploded.
There are so many precedents.
“We're negotiating now, and it’d be great if we could do something, but they have to open it up. They have to open up the Strait of Trump — I mean, Hormuz. Excuse me, I'm so sorry, such a terrible mistake,” Trump said.
“The fake news will say he accidentally said — there's no accidents with me, not too many. If there were, we'd have a major story,” he added.
“If I don't get the Nobel Prize for peace, nobody will ever get it. I didn't get it. I'm not surprised. The person that got it was shocked — she’s a wonderful woman too, by the way,” he said.
This is completely incongruent with reality. Trump has lived his hyper-privileged life speaking the things he wants into existence, and that privilege has now reached its limit.
These are not the words of a sane person.
If he replaces any more words with his own name I think he can technically be considered a Pokémon.
