The billionaires should sail their yachts through the strait to prove how safe it is.

Yes. They should have a party in the straight on their yachts. Just connect them altogether as part of one giant round tip followed by a smaller group connected by lesser billionaires. We'll call it the butt plug of Hormuz. Once that gets pulled out of there can you imagine how much better traffic will flow.

Headlines like this is why I filter Trump from my other feeds.

Because it's just pointless rambling. Nobody takes it seriously, including himself. Nobody will do something about the situation either regarding Iran or regarding Trump because of it. It's just "guy opened his mouth" spam to fill up the newssite.

I basically ignore all I can from him, for years and years now. I try to follow events, I will follow news about what he did, but avoid if I can his actual words and him talking at all costs.

So that some foreigners can die instead of his conservative military base. the U.S.A assumes that the world is still in 1945. They think everybody else are barbaric savages who don't understand when they are being lied to. Not anymore. People rightfully don't trust US to not bomb them when they do the risky thing of putting their soldiers on the ground in the middle east.

To be fair, he gives zero fucks about his conservative military base. If they die, they die.

This is the same guy that boasted how he'd grab women "by the pussy", it comes as no surprise he thinks he can simply take things as he wishes (or order other people to do it for him? Fuckin galaxy brain 4-d chess

What an ignorant piece of shit

If other countries can just take it why hasn’t America just took it? You’ve been there a month

He just encouraged the world to reject the US as their security guarantor, the situation since around 1945 or so.

No shit. We all see it now.

Make Israel do it then

You first Trumpy.

Do not siege Stalingrad

[–] mech@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

I bet he then expects them to just give it to him. Not the US, mind you. Him personally.

I absolutely loathe the situation that we're in, and I hate any piece of news with him or his regime in it - but occasionally I really do like the schadenfreude I get from watching him squirm on his own idiocy.

I got a better idea for them😂
