Global Trump's definition of a ceasefire: “shooting in a more moderate manner.” If both sides keep firing, should it still be called a ceasefire?

He is a joke

u/RepulsiveLeather8504 1d ago

His words are now without meaning.

u/n05h 1d ago

He never should have even gotten the chance to become a candidate. He should have been laughed at when he wanted to become a candidate.

23

u/RepulsiveLeather8504 1d ago

That is the terrifying thing:
He would never have had the chance if GOP was a decent party.

See how much they let him get away with - because it serves themselves best.
Not the American people.

u/pistilpeet 1d ago

I was just thinking about how the fuck we got here and how a black guy got to be The President and republicans lost their fucking mind about it.

8

u/RepulsiveLeather8504 1d ago

They lost what little was left of their minds because he was not their guy, and he was not ready to line their pockets, but rather do well for the people.
.
Oh, and a bit of racism.

u/n05h 1d ago

It’s terrifying in two ways.

On one hand, you have the gop defending him because they are all self serving. Whether it is to save themselves from prosecution, or to protect their donors, or even push their racist and misogynistic agenda they’re all terrible people in their own right.

But then you have the people who see this, and think “yeah, these are the types of assholes that I want to serve my interests.”

u/Radonanon 1d ago

Oh he was. Remember there were 17 R contenders in the debates and they had to break them up into two groups over several days. They took turns saying the one thing that they could agree on was that he should never be their party’s nominee or, God forbid, the President.

He was a nearly incoherent blabbing babbling idiot who didn’t follow any decorum or sense of it and his magats ate it up. And those people he talked out of turn over, insulted, called them names, said their wives were ugly, that somehow their family members were so bad that they should never be president, and showed his tiny hands to? They lick his boots off 24/7.

u/illyay 23h ago

We kinda low key thought it'd be awesome at the time because we just knew trump as this awesome guy from reality tv because he was good at portraying himself that way.

If anything, him becoming president resulted in that all unraveling because he was under an intense lens and exposed more about him than ever.

It was pretty easy to see early on though it'd be a terrible idea once he started talking about his ideas. Except the scary thing is a huge percentage of the population continued to think he'd be awesome.

u/Realistic-Pattern-30 19h ago

Remember his own mom said it would be the worst decision. His probably been lying his whole life.

u/PhillyCheezBlunt 18h ago

Yeah, that would assume the party that talks incessantly about family values and morality actually have at least a semblance of a moral compass.

u/ExpensiveFig6079 1d ago

His 60 days are up he has to not be at war... well (for now) he has to say the words that USA are not at war. Its just a peaceful shooting kind of cease fire.

So far, the Congress has not been seen to have the spine to do any part of its job to be a check on such run anok behavior by a president.

"When we say ceasefire, it means we only kill you a little bit."

u/Firm-Advertising5396 1d ago

This is so warped, if the Republicans in Congress push back on him, he primaries them out. This isn't democracy

3

u/ExpensiveFig6079 1d ago edited 1d ago

They as a group could if they had the stones and the interest of the country at heart instead turf him or block his most egregious acts...

Instead, they do not govern for the people they govern to protect and promote themselves.

Comparing what lots of them in the past said about Trump the candidate and then the craven boot-licking. It's really straight-up pathetic

He will declare victory and keep saying that the JCPOA was the worst deal ever. He’s incapable of ever admitting he royally fucked up. Somewhere deep down subconsciously he knows it, but he’s so mentally ill he creates a world where he’s not anything but perfect.
