Donald Trump Appreciation Thread

Add into the above Trump’s clear and rapid cognitive decline and the situation is not looking good. The number of clips showing Trump stumbling over his words is growing. His boasting about taking three tests has also backfired. These are not IQ tests as he liked to pretend. They are checking his cognitive state.

A question of cognitive functioning, from the poster who has managed to learn nothing in all his years on the forum.

The bloke's gone properly mental. Now threatened to target Iran’s civilian energy infrastructure, including power plants, oil wells and Kharg Island, if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

“Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island."

That'll calm the markets. 

The daft prick doesn't appreciate the likelihood of a tit for tat response.

The daft prick doesn't recognise that any of his actions, whether Iran or Tariffs, might have an adverse impact. Either that or he just doesn't care.

That’s Trump in a nutshell. Commentators were saying at the start that he would get bored after a few days, lose interest and do something else, like go after Cuba.Intelligence chiefs were saying at the start that the reason previous Presidents haven’t gone after Iran is because (in Trumpspeak) they hold the cards, as in the Straits of Hormuz. The trouble is he doesn’t like being told no, so surrounds himself with lackeys who give him what he wants.

How is this deranged idiot still in office?

He'll bully his way to it. He's convinced that Iran were a danger to the US, and the world, so he'll see this as a world saving exercise. What a hero.

The best bit is that he's expecting Iran and/or the Gulf states to pay reparations.

To an extent…but Israel is definitely his problem and Mad Ben and his equally far right religious extremist government. He has no leverage over him at unlike all his predecessors and a nutcase of a Zionist son-in-law. He’s also got a lot of Trump corporation assets to protect there. He’s in the shit and he knows it.

Europe could just cut a deal with the IRG. We don’t want any part in Israel’s loony war and occupation of South Lebanon. Not much incentive to keep Trump happy any more.

Absolute clusterf**k of a situation.

Another Aussie take - beautifully put:

"Oh this flatulent flubbering fucking gameshow host.

This sentient bag of McDonald's grease just bombed a country, shut down a strait that 20% of the world's oil moves through, caused a global fuel crisis, and is now standing in the ashes going "why don't you losers buy MY oil?" Like a guy who poisons the town well and then starts selling bottled water from his front yard. You absolute fucking psychopath.

"Iran has been decimated." Oh yeah? Then OPEN THE FUCKING STRAIT, genius. If you won, where's the oil? Where's the shipping? Why are planes grounded from London to Sydney? You didn't decimate Iran, you dickhead. You decimated the global economy. Iran's still there. The Strait's still closed. And you're on your little safe space app doing a victory lap like a guy who shit his pants at a marathon and is celebrating crossing the finish line.

"Delayed courage." He said that. To the BRITISH. The country that followed you brain-dead cowboys into Iraq because you LIED. You told the world Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Colin Powell sat at the United Nations waving around a prop like a fucking children's magician. "Nothing in my hand... nothing in my other hand... and PRESTO, a million dead people!" The UK sent their kids. Allies sent theirs. And it was all bullshit. Every coffin. Every flag-draped casket. Based on a lie.

So the Brits see you screaming about ANOTHER Middle Eastern country and say "nah, fool me once" and you call THEM cowards? You? The bone spur king? The guy who dodged Vietnam because his feet hurt? The guy who hid in a bunker when protesters got too close to the White House? You've never had a paper cut in service of another human being, you spray-tanned fucking fraud. The British stood ALONE against Hitler while America was at home jerking off to isolationism. Don't you EVER lecture them about courage.

And here it is. Right in the middle of this deranged rant, the six words that tell you exactly what this whole thing was about from day one:

"Buy from the U.S., we have plenty."

There's your war motive, folks. Right there. Didn't even try to hide it. This fat prick blew up the Middle East's oil supply so he could sell you his. That's it. That's the whole play. Every missile, every dead civilian, every fuel queue from Perth to Paris, it's a fucking INFOMERCIAL. "Are YOU tired of affordable oil from stable trade routes? Well DO I have the solution for YOU!"

This post isn't a flex. It's a confession. He's telling every ally America has ever had that the alliance was bullshit, the loyalty was a scam, and the next time they come asking you to die in a desert for them, you show them this post and tell them to go fuck themselves".

It is indeed but this is what happens when enough idiots vote for populists and religious extremists.

Although for 77m idiots to vote for him twice after the violence of 6 January, that’s a special kind of stupid.

Fuck America, Americans and fuck Netanyahu and his revolting government as well. A nation where a Palestinian can murder an Israeli and be hung in days, whereas an illegal settler does it and probably gets community service. No better than the Taliban in Afghanistan. 

It’s hard to actually see who is worse out of the IRG, America and Israel. The world would be far better off without all three. Put religious extremism and its proponents in the bin.

This Iran conflict will essentially end his influence on the world stage imo. His bullying rhetoric isn't enough to pressure European leaders into getting involved in a middle east war, and so they've all just stopped listening to him and are now quietly waiting for him to shuffle off to the side. Whoever the next president is, they will have an awful lot of making up to do.

Yeah, he's just chatting shit and trying to appeal to his MAGA base - in reality its just more hot air that can be safely ignored. Much like Putin with his constant threats to nuke europe during the earlier stages  of the ukraine conflict.

Anything can happen but can't see it myself.  He can't even get the DHS budget through congress and they've had a partial shutdown for 46 days now.  His approval levels are through the floor, conducting an unpopular war that hasn't resulted in the kind of bounce he was hoping for and the public are getting antsy about rising oil prices.  Within that context it would be unlikely he would get the go ahead to leave NATO.

Best and probably most likely scenario is his bones tell him he's won and he declares victory (shouldn't be hard considering he hasn't stated what the US objectives actually are).  Once they clear off the world maybe starts getting back to something a bit more normal.

I can't see any way he gets 67% of the senate to back leaving Nato. That just isn't happening. The midterms are also coming up in November, at which point he looks set to lose control of the house and will be a lame duck president.

They might try, but US elections were not cancelled in WW2, WW1, Korea or Vietnam, nor even in their Civil War, so it's hard to see what justification they'll try to impose.

They won't cancel the elections but they will make it harder for people to vote democrat through admin hurdles and intimidation via ICE.

And if they do lose, they will look to pressure local counts (as they did last time) and make up spurious grounds to interfere and take elections machines / papers away.
