Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning added to OP 10/1/26

And the kicker is that Rutte's grovelling looks like a pathetic exercise in futility, anyway. When he was asked if he would commit to NATO's article 5, Trump said, "Depends on your definition…"

In other words, in case you needed confirmation, the U.S. would not help its NATO allies in any serious way if they were attacked. If Russia attacked a Baltic country next year, Trump would probably make some half-hearted attempts to mediate before blaming said Baltic country for provoking Russia in some way (i.e. by existing) and further condemn their intransigence in not immediately agreeing to all of Russia's punitive demands.

Really, Europe's biggest security guarantee right now hasn't much to do with U.S. friendship and much to do with Russia being so bogged down in Ukraine that opening a fresh front with a European country is just out of the question. But the problem is that Putin can ramp up his bullying rhetoric against Europe with a heavy subtext of 'I have far more nukes than you do…'.

I'm not posting in bad faith. I'm giving Trump credit he fully deserves. When he doesn't deserve it I say it.

I can't understand the visceral uncontrollable rage he sparks in some who are unable to give him credit for anything.

Very odd behaviour.

As for AOC he's right to identify today the fact she isn't highly educated or that bright. It's just stating fact.

Exhibit 1

In many ways Trump is doing Democrats a favour for which they should be grateful imo. If she gets close to nominee for President they face another self inflicted disaster.

We were always at war with EastAsia….

Spoken like a true Trump fanatic. The only fact here is that she graduated from Boston University getting a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and Economics.

Trump on the other hand, claimed he graduated with first class honours from Wharton…but records show he was not on the deans list and did not graduate with honours. A former professor described him as, and this is a quote, “the dumbest goddamn student I ever had”, referenced here -

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

AOC is basically everything he isn't. Where he was handed everything and spaffed most of it away, she had to work to earn what she has. No wonder he hates her.

My favourite is still way back when they tried to discredit her with a cute video she and her friends made in college.

A cease-fire that is unlikely to last. You're a classic case of somebody who praises everything Trump does. The reality is Trump has dragged the US into a conflict in the middle east.

Trump being played like a fiddle by Israel and yet people are hailing this as a "major foreign policy success". Jesus wept.

To me that's not speechless because of a lack of intelligence, it's control over being frustrated by someone being purposely obtuse in order to defend the indefensible. Better than your dear lord, the Orange Toddler, who would just throw a tantrum.

As others have commented she did not only graduate from Boston summa cum laude, it was a double major. Economics and International Relations, ironically, 2 things that the Orange Toddler has demonstrated complete ignorance of many times over.

She also competed in, and came second in her section, in the International Science Fair when she was 18. That is no mean feat. Each year about 7m participate for a chance to become one of the 1800 odd finalists. That's a pretty significant achievement.

But it's pointless comparing her intelligence to The Orange Toddler's anyway, most human's are way out of his league. He'd be closer to my 3 day old smelly sock, he might win that competition.

She has spoken on countless occasions with integrity and insight and isn't afraid to call out the elite and this administration. Anyone can compile a video of some mistakes. Dosent make your accusation true. Granted she wouldn't get elected as president but she's a proper politician.

The US has been supplying Israel with weapons to kill innocents and children in Gaza. Trump and the US have plenty of blood on their hands.

Trump is a deranged despot.

And I would place a good bet, that the Iranians moved them when they could read his tweets out in the open, like the genius that he is!
