Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

When I listen to Hegseth, I really wonder where America’s friends are going to come from in the future. That country can look forward to ‘curses, not loud but deep’ from many quarters.  

Mad to look at Marine Tracker, and see the big blobs of tankers all stacked up either side of the Straits of Hormuz, almost like a giant game of chicken... 'You go 1st, No, You go 1st'

Imagine having a leader who feels he has to deny he’ll get bored with the war he just started.

7pm is a ridicules time to close polling boots. It is designed to stop working people from voting. There are a large number working two jobs. The reason republicans do these sort of thing is voter suppression. They pretend to be fair. For example, a few years ago they touted the fairness by citing the placement of a polling box in every county in Texas. That is true. However a polling box was placed in ‘ Loving County ‘ population 43 in 2023. There was another box in ‘ Harris County ‘ population 5million. Some bullsh1t from Texas republicans especially Abbot and Paxton.

I thought it was sickening too but the real miscalculation was being there in the first place…avoid any press conferences with him if at all possible..Merz tried to introduce some semblance of a sterness by mentioning Ukraine out the gate but you could see from Trumps body language he wasn't even countenancing pretending to be diplomatic..tbh I kind of think this is so far out of normal behaviour at this level that 1) they have no **** idea how to handle it 2) there may be no way to handle a complete and utter dickhead and his retinue of complete and utter dickheads anyway

Trump is a twit and he's likely to shoot from the hip leaving you in the ****...its no problem to him he's been swimming around in **** of his own making his whole life but some of it is bound to stick to you

There was literally no benefit to engaging with the bufoon in his own pram surrounded by sycophants ....the real test for the EU is in how they plan for the long term and what actions are taken...

And one step that should be taken is to avoid and minimise any one sided public interactions where you are in the gobshites back yard....in many ways these are not serious people...its like the businessmans uneducated prepubescent teenage kids and their friends unlocked daddys gun cabinet...

Their lack of ability, judgement and their actions could have serious consequences for other countries, their own country and their citizens but like most fcukwits they'll probably get away scot free, maybe even make out like bandits while others suffer those consequences..…

At this stage I think it's anyones guess what happens as a consequence of this.....

I think they could have seriously weakened their ability to project force when this is over and started a whole load of fires they will either have to keep putting out or walk away from and leave everyone else picking up the pieces....I hope its neither I suspect the latter.

So it turns out the planes the US/Israel have been blowing up were actually just paintings 🤦‍♂️🤣

Those parts of the world don't interest Trump.

He's interested in war and Churchill at least for people like him is the ultimate war leader

Its not often the White House/Trump Admin people get things really wrong. It sounded like Karoline Leavitt on RTE news just now saying they got the No 1 submarine. It's either SNAFU or the message got garbled in transmission.

Trump, from an interview the BBC covered…..”Spain have actually said, we can’t use their bases, and that’s alright we don’t want to use them, we could use their base if we want, we could just fly in and use it, nobody’s going to tell us not to use it, we don’t have to but they were unfriendly….” And then just goes on a longer diatribe, the man is absolutely deranged, firstly the US did ask, were told no, then Trump alludes to invading if he does want to use it…

The man is a basket case. What a time to be alive….

They lie as easily as they breathe...

"The White House said today that Spain had agreed to cooperate with its military campaign in the Middle East, but the Spanish government has now come out and said that is not true."
