Donald Trump has insisted Iran must “open up the Strait of Trump” and complained about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize in a meandering speech at the Future Investment Initiative Institute summit in Miami, Florida.

    “I know it doesn’t sound right for me to say this, but I’d love my legacy to be made as a great peacemaker, because I really believe I’m a peacemaker. It doesn’t seem it right now, but I think I’m a peacemaker,” he said.

    I really don’t know if he’s the most delusional person or the most stupid to ever exist. How the fuck is he in charge if anything, yet alone a fucking country.

    $20B to Iran would open the SoH for 2 weeks, and give time for rest of world to make deals with Iran for permanent access. Markets are losing $3T per week, in addition to future economy destroyed for many years. US will not get a better deal. Buying Iran’s uranium (at very high price) is also key to “declaring victory” over denuclearization.

    Not that I speak on behalf of Iran but how about this:

    We open up the strait of HORMUS if:

    1. You release the full and unredacted Epstein files
    2. Leave the whitehouse forever.
    3. Learn to keep your stupid trap shut.
    4. Do something to make it up to Iran, anything. Mr “art of the deal”. Pathetic.

    Jail and/or foreverbox time already ffs.

      Team sports mentality. Trump is “their guy” and however he royally screws up “at least he’s not a Democrat”

      Also, a lot of folks said point blank voting for Trump is being a sucker and a fool, and to go against Trump is to admit they got fooled.

      Yesterday in an interview I heard the MAGA person was hard core that whatever the government is doing, they secretly have reasons they can’t tell us because spilling the Intel would be so dangerous. Pretty much the same crowd whining about a liberal government keeping secrets from them now celebrates secrets being managed by the conservatives.

      The alternative would have been a woman of color and damned if they ever suggest that could have been a better outcome.

      Additionally, the racists do still have the Hispanics getting screwed over and afraid. The people who got injured and killed were “obnoxious liberals” that are better home anyway.

      Of course this is also as close as they have seen in decades of federal policies trying to make it harder for poor people and women to vote.

      There’s a lot of vile sentiment and being close to that being followed is worth having problems.

      What the fuck is wrong with most Americans as I we are seeing more real action from Canadians while Americans mostly complain online and may ego to a protest once in a while if at all and are ineffective as team Trump only hear/feel money. You got to hit MAGA where it counts and target boycott their business like the Canadians. If Americans did the same, we would be hearing about all the MAGA businesses going bankrupt. I am very disappointed with Americans and shocked they are so passive.

          Unlimited freedom like the US style “unlimited” holiday… subject to manager approval… and scrutiny if you’re seen to take too much… also not being a team player who is the first to get fired when there are layoffs…

    the reality check is this: Donald Trump has never been more unpopular in his second term in office

    The actual reality check is this: he still hasn’t reached the lows he reached during his first term. His approval rating remains above 40%

    Is this asshole seriously still whining about the Nobel Peace Prize? Didn’t the winner of the prize eventually just give the prize to him?

        I wish he’d try to one-up Barack Obama and try to eat the prize and choke on it, believing it will make him smarter.

    The “news” media will ignore Dear Leader’s obvious illnesses, and give us the latest Kardashian news.

    The man is so damned insane I cannot understand how they continually put up with him when all the gears of government would roll a million times smoother without that nuthatch in the drivers seat
