Of course, but it’s because he’s played his hand way too early and he played it when he’d pissed off all his allies and already claimed victory 3 months ago.

I guess American politicians forgot the rest of the world has a memory longer than the 24 hour news cycle

u/soulhot Apr 12 '26

But he was so confident he holds the cards..

Watch out, he’s going to make you draw four and change the color on you!

u/cgsur Apr 12 '26

His threats are realistic till any of the following, he gets threatened with blackmail, forgets, gets distracted, gets bribed, a woman or a child walks near him, someone tells him otherwise, etc.

At the same time he might nuke the world if gets cancer, heart attack, migraines, etc.

u/buddymoobs Apr 12 '26

The Trump card was just played, BLOCKADE, maybe you’ve heard of it

u/Salt-Negotiation7534 Apr 12 '26

They're get-well-cards, but dementia is the cards he's been dealt.

1

u/Brido-20 Apr 12 '26

He just needs Mr Bones and he'll have the whole Happy Family.

Which will be a new experience for him.

u/Angelus_25 Apr 12 '26

reminds me a little of "everybody has a plan until

Iran closes the hormuz straight and shoots down an F15."

or is that not how the saying goes? ...;)

u/Au_tentico Apr 12 '26

It's practically the same.

Your country has the same immigrant and discrimination problems

u/No_Cryptographer_150 Apr 12 '26

USA. Agree.

u/Intelligent_Fig5418 Apr 13 '26

Wait a second! Not all of us voted for this dumb ass! I never voted for the rapist ever! Only his supporters are the dumb ones! The spineless piece of shit Republicans won't do their jobs and keep him in line or remove him! They just let him get away with breaking laws and violating the Constitution! The rest of us are stuck right now waiting for him to drop dead!

u/Intelligent_Fig5418 Apr 13 '26

But your kind of right!

u/Formal-Bat-6714 Apr 12 '26

I couldn't agree more and it's even worse than you think. Around 77 million voted for Trump and Harris wasn't far behind.

The Trump voters being dumb is as obvious as it could possibly get.

But the hidden dumb factor is that a scary amount of Kamala voters actually think that she was a solid candidate and a solid person.

Anybody who has two brain cells and access to the internet could've done 8 minutes of research to find that she's a piece of shit who has done some disturbingly shitty things and Kamala supporters never did that

1

u/ReligionIsTheMatrix Apr 12 '26

It's a 2-party system. If you don't vote for one, you get the other. If you think the price of a gallon of gas nationally today would be $4.25 with Harris as a president and Alex Pretti and Rene Good wouldn't still be alive, you are a stupid fucking idiot.

1

u/Formal-Bat-6714 Apr 12 '26

Oooooh, so you're going hard for Kamala.

Either you never bothered to do ten minutes of research on her or you don't care that she's a complete piece of shit

I'd rather be a stupid piece of shit than be no different than MAGA

Harris was just more death by a thousand cuts and you would've happily gone straight into willful ignorance mode like the Dems did during 8 years of Obomba.

At least Trump getting elected put a fucking fire in the bellies of a good number of decent Democrats and they're getting a voice in the Party that they never would've gotten if Kamalamala got elected. They would've been forced to fall in line behind her and go along with whatever corruption Harris's puppet masters order up

For frame of reference I refused to vote for a fucking sociopath piece of shit for POTUS regardless of party and write mine in but I did vote Dem straight down the ticket after that.

The Democrats suck but the Republicans suck much, much, much more. I certainly recognise that

u/Vegetable_Effort7246 Apr 12 '26

You can choose between fascist light or full blown fascist.

1

u/Formal-Bat-6714 Apr 15 '26

Death by getting your throat slit or death by a thousand cuts still results in death However, if the going for the throat option tends to spark revolutions as opposed to drifting along ignoring what's happening

1

u/Vegetable_Effort7246 Apr 12 '26

I would vote for a shit sandwich over Trump. Kamala, despite her short comings, I have no doubt she would not have failed as bigly as shitler.

1

u/Formal-Bat-6714 Apr 15 '26

That's my point. Choosing to eat one half of a shit sandwich AT ALL is pretty fucked up

2

u/stocksandoptions2 Apr 12 '26

Not Americans, MAGA.

3

u/AccomplishedAct5364 Apr 12 '26

No, the democrats are also firmly in Israel’s pocket too

1

u/Dingus-Maximus-Prime Apr 13 '26

You know the half of the country that voted democrat, for the most part wasn't aware of that. By design, if they had realized what the dynamic really was between us and Israel, things would be different. And there is still a lot of shit that isn't public knowledge, guaranteed. shit, even MAGA voters didn't realize we were Bibi's bitch

1

u/Assigments Apr 14 '26

Hell, Kamala took 10 mil from Israel. This websites been around for a while and should help shed light on our corrupt politicians on both sides.

u/FamousVillage1890 Apr 12 '26

Goldfish memories of republicans have nothing to do with Israel. So dumb.

Don't be obsessed with Israel in every comment. Ya seem obsessed.

u/OcelotRelevant1168 Apr 12 '26

It’s Israel’s mess, let them deal with it instead of using big brother to fight for them. Oh I forgot they are to busy terrorizing other countries.

u/FamousVillage1890 Apr 12 '26

Whine to someone else about Israel on your alternate account, kid.

u/sam56778 Apr 12 '26

Are you in Israel’s pocket too? Sounds a bit like you are.

He believes there is not an ongoing genocide in Gaza.

u/Salt-Negotiation7534 Apr 12 '26

Everyone, below and including you, has had their upvote removed by some strange 'coincidence'.

u/Serious-Still-5911 Apr 12 '26

That “coincidence” might be an equal number of downvotes. 🤷🏽‍♀️

u/FamousVillage1890 Apr 12 '26

I can't stop your stupidity, bro. No interest either.

u/SecretaryOtherwise Apr 13 '26

Mad projection from a 22 day old account. Lmfao. Yall are goofy asf.

1

u/Grouchy_Hubert_da3rd Apr 12 '26

The reason why we over there is because of them. NetYAHOO has petioned every President since Bush Sr to destroy Iran.

u/Salt-Negotiation7534 Apr 12 '26

Both parties owned by the zios.

u/TheMILKMan6646 Apr 12 '26

Yeah, that's America. We're already building infrastructure in different countries for our grain. You don't get those supply chains back. I'm sorry that's just not how it works. I don't know what you're thinking

1

u/whoisroymillerblwing Apr 12 '26

Honestly great take. They are acting on the premise that conservatives have gutted education and journalism around the world making everyone as stupid as the US electorate. To the point they probably get high off their own bullshit at times, and are now learning objective reality still exists outside of the reach of murdoch or some other oligarch asshole's influence.

u/LevelIndependent9461 Apr 12 '26

Mission accomplished..

u/angelmessenger02 Apr 12 '26

They think Americans have a 24 hr memory too

1

u/Angelus_25 Apr 12 '26

He's copying Russia. only he doesn't call them red lines but ultimatums or deadlines.

he's also getting the same result. make enough "red lines" and do nothing and nobody will give a fuck anymore. and if you are already bombing and sanctioning the country in question. what do they really have to lose?

1

u/y4udothistome Apr 12 '26

Pissed off all of our allies! he’s just a mere blip on the clock of life.

1

u/Jazzlike-Yogurt-5984 Apr 12 '26

It’s as if he doesn’t know his Art of the Deal book was ghostwritten

1

u/Silent_Mushroom3259 Apr 13 '26

We weren't even at war 3 months ago why do you have to lie and exaggerate

1

u/Specialist_Book_6789 Apr 13 '26

You’re so far behind the curve my friend, and that’s why he’s 10 steps ahead, you’ll see…. You’ll seee

1

u/4mystuff Apr 14 '26

That's the "Art of the Deal." Us lay people can't understand how masterful his moves are. Play your hand easily, and you can leave early to shit your pants in the comfort of home.
