He has tended to worry about Ivanka catching flak in the past, and has expressed a willingness to throw one or both of his elder sons under the nearest bus to save her.
These days, I’m not even sure if he remembers who she is.
Are you sure you didn’t mean to say “hotel income?”
Wouldn’t you, in his place? Consider that:
The United States has been informed by most of our NATO “Allies” that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran, in the Middle East, this, despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon.
I am not surprised by their action, however, because I always considered NATO, where we spend Hundreds of Billions of Dollars per year protecting these same Countries, to be a one way street — We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need. Fortunately, we have decimated Iran’s Military — Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti-Aircraft and Radar is gone and perhaps, most importantly, their Leaders, at virtually every level, are gone, never to threaten us, our Middle Eastern Allies, or the World, again!
Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer “need,” or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!
He’s been telling world leaders for the better part of a year to eat a bag of dicks, and now he can’t get any of them to help him out of his collosal fuck-up. What a surprise! I just can’t beleive it’s all playing out on social media. When my dad was losing control of his mind due to dementia, we took his phone away so he wouldn’t embarrass himself. It’s unfortunate for the United States that Trump has no one in his life that loves him enough to do the same.
As many people have pointed out over the years, Trump needs an audience. He can’t stand not having attention. He’d never put up with being deprived of it for long.
There’s also this:
“I do whine because I want to win and I’m not happy about not winning and I am a whiner and I keep whining and whining until I win.”
–Donald Trump
I assume he is referring to NATO countries, because I don’t think Benin, Guyana, Lichtenstein, Namibia, and many others really care too much about American adventures in self harm, aside from perhaps a sardonic hand wave, when he fails.
Egotism is quite a strange mental illness.
The fuller quote I read was:
“I’ve spoken to a certain president, who I like, actually,” he said. “A past president, a former president. He said, ‘I wish I did it.’ But they didn’t do it. I’m doing it.”
Trump declined to identify the former president: “I can’t tell you that. I don’t want to embarrass him. It would be very bad for his career, even though he’s got no career.”
Bolding mine.
He lies like a 2 year old.
Could be talking about 45. I’ve heard he has a rather high regard for that asshole
In a similar vein, Antidepressant or Tolkein.
Or a thirteen year old. “Yeah, I talked to a President. You don’t know him – he lives in Canada.”
Or, the President of Puerto Rico. Can’t remember who that is.
Mad magazine once had a Medication or Kaiju? quiz.
I’ve also seen several “Pharmaceutical or Pokemon” quizzes.
SUV or Bruce Willis’s child?
Food or martial art?
Dementia Donny endorses (checks notes) Irish reunification?
Plus: Bad news for President Newsom!
Trump: “The president of the United States, Gavin Newsum, admitted he has learning disabilities”
Maybe Trump is just practicing the demented tweets he’s going to use in 2029.
I know that NATO Article V says that an attack on one of us is an attack on all; but does it also say that if one of us runs off half-cocked in some total FUBAR boondoggle, we all have to go along for the ride?
Nope. But the only relationship Trump understands is “Trump is God, everyone else submits” so an arrangement like that is beyond his comprehension.
Specifically, an attack within Europe or North America.
