I liked the bit of his show with the 4 Trumps explaining the war. Stewart, Colbert, and Kimmel have been brilliant over the last few months.

Stewart's podcast discussions, where he keeps things 'serious', are also excellent.

Excellent- every day they have beaten them, what with being the best in the world.  Gas prices back to normal now the voters will love you even more.

Imagine this knob talking about the Vietnam War?
Week 1 - We have napalmed every member of the Vietcong, destroyed their tunnels and obliterated the NVA

Week 1018 - We have decided to leave with victory complete;we are just accounting for the whereabouts of 60,000 US soldiers

And by the way my Bone Spurs, which would have totally incapacitated anyone else, are improving since I have started ingesting bleach, and I am now able to enjoy a round of golf twice a day. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald J Trump.

Should that not be 'enjoy cheating at golf' ?

18 holes in one? Even in the 450 yarders probably.

The Italian Government has temporarily cut the rate of fuel excise duty, reducing the price of petrol and diesel by about ¢25 per litre.

Japanese reporter to Trump at White House press conference just now: "Why didn't you inform your allies, such as Japan, you were about to strike Iran?"

Trump: "well, you didn't tell us about Pearl Harbour"

🤦🏼

What he actually said was "You didn't tell ME about Pearl Harbour".

Yet another example of Trump's weak grasp of history. US intelligence, ( oxymoron ? ), knew an attack was coming, and the Japanese did not intend to attack without a declaration of war, they simply got the time zones mixed up.

And that was yet another war over access to oil.

Why would they tell him? He wasn't born until '46 and even the not yet a glint in the milkman's eye had bone spur issues, keeping him well away from conflict.

"Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran.

"Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices.

"So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!"

 

What is he threatening exactly? Why isn't it something they can't do themselves considering how easy it is?

He must know that our paper tiger will get all soggy in the strait of Hormuz. 

Besides, we're all off to the doctor's to check on our bone spurs, between seminars on how to correctly plan warfare. It's the lesson on how not to wreck the world economy today.

A mix up of time zones is not what stopped Japan making their declaration before the attack. US intelligence expected an attack but not specifically at Pearl Harbour.

It's his reason to exit NATO or ignore article 5 if anyone else ever invokes it. 

He can't be so stupid that he doesn't understand that NATO is a defensive pact, not a taskforce for Israel.

I sure many of the European countries would be happy to help Donnie and his cult but the recent outbreak of Bone Spur disease, probably created in a laboratory in CHINA, is adversely affecting a widespread ability to assist.

The US navy attacked and sunk a IJN submarine a few hours before the Pearl harbour raid and then documented the event as actually the US firing the first shots of WW2 !
