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

Iranians should include Netanyahu being sent to the ICC in their list of requirements for a deal

That link doesn't mention Israel.

Trump's promotion and enabling of their genocide does not deserve praise. I'm curious as to why you think it does.

I posted the question below on Google…. Did+trump+post+this+on+Truth+Social.+"This+Great+Deal+will+bring+Peace+and+Security+to+the+whole+Region.+Many+presidents+have+tried+to+make+Peace+with+Iran%2C+and+all+have+failed+before+me. Maybe this will be helpful.

It's possible that some-one has inserted the quote onto Truth Social. Edit: it look's like the original Trump quote was hijacked and altered to fit in mention of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Eh, about that

I'd also like to see those Epstein files. They haven't gone away you know.

The Irish Times take on the "celebrations"…

As ever with Trump, the event has caused a deep and profound division among Americans.

But the story gets better.

Dylan Patterson flew up from Tennessee with two friends of his. “I got two buddies in Washington in the army and they got us tickets,” he said.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. I don’t want to make it political at all. But last night was the most American thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. They shot off fireworks behind the Monument singing Born In the USA. Just the most American thing I’ve seen.”

Patterson cradled his beer and gave a low chuckle when asked if he was here to celebrate the big birthday also.

“I’m here for the event. Trump turning 80 ... he’s doing an okay job but politicians, either party, they don’t care about the middle man. You make less than a million a year and they don’t care about you.

“Hear me out,” he continues. “Liberals are pushing for healthcare for everybody. I agree with healthcare for everybody. If you can pass a drug test. And if you can prove you are a citizen. It should be an American right to have healthcare for everybody. Why do I want to pay for you to go to the doctor if you are going to get high on cocaine all day? Now, weed’s a little different. I don’t smoke weed. But weed’s a little different."

"But we need to get somebody in office who doesn’t care about inside. I don’t know who that is. We all thought it was Trump at first. That’s why every Republican voted for Trump – because he was not a politician. And he has become one. So bad. You need someone to run for office who doesn’t care about money.”

TLDR - Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I don't know, you get the feeling there's a bit of sea change in the US regarding Israel.

MAGA was always supposed to be America 1st, no more wars, and there seems to be a growing sentiment that Israel dragged them into this, provided intelligence that it'd be an easy regime change, but suffered the least collateral damage regarding Iran at least.

The attacks on Lebanon have often occurred at sensitive times when Trump was getting his ceasefire done, and seemed the deliberate to keep things rolling, same as how the Israeli attack on an Iranian refinery lead to Iran responding against Gulf State refineries. All designed be Isreal to escalate. Americans have noticed this.

And Trump has definitely noticed Netanyahu ignoring his demands for no more attacks on Lebanon, thay crosses Trump's lines and defies TRUMP!!

Israel can claim independence and not needing America, but they know they do; and they know Trump can be erratic. He could easily embargo arms going to them, saying American stockpile are too low. The Iron Dome system would be useless without patriot missile supplies.

And there are lots of reports online that Israel were all set for a massive air offensive on Iran that was cancelled at last hour, due to Trump's demands. That shows they are nervous about defying him.

There's a big spotlight on Netanyahu now - the MOU is supposed to say clearly they need to get out of Lebanon - which will be unpopular in Israel after the sacrifices they made to take it, but Iran is happy to close Hormus again of they don't and say America cannot be trusted, while Americans watch Israel drag them back into an v unpopular war; if Israel don't comply. And Trump is now showing how annoyed he is with them, so is watching them.

America twice invaded two Middle Eastern countries on the basis of having evidence they had either of weapons of mass destruction or nuclear weapons. Even if Iran had a nuclear bomb every one knows it’s no use as they would be obliterated if they used it.

Would love if the G7 presidents grilled Trump on why he declared war on Iran and loves Putin?

''Singing 'Born in the USA' ''. I guess everything we know about that song went right over that dope's head.

Oh FFS, if I hear that line 'Trump is not a politician' again…..

It appears to have escaped this thicko's notice that he was first elected President a decade ago. And that's to ignore his years of pushing 'birther' conspiracy theories against Obama before that.
