    TACO Trump Tuesday strikes again. Trump makes threats, those he’s threatening laugh at him, mock him and ignore the deadline, Trump chickens out and tries to make up something else to hide the fact he’s failed.

      Taco is the dumbest shit I think I’ve seen being pushed as a nick name for him. It’s the cringest most forced bot phrase, of the last decade. I don’t think I can handle being on the planet and reading this garbage anymore.

      Like do people think it’s clever, saying the same thing over and over and over and seeing it over and over and over. Is it supposed to be funny?

        It’s a great indicator that someone is serially online and rarely talks to others. At one of the protests I went to I brought a TACO themed sign and nobody got it. I had to answer “what does that mean?” sooo many times.

          Well, why did you do it?

          What are you saying he’s backing out of? do you want him to follow through on all the weird shit he says? Would that be better to you?

          It sounds like it’s a far right psyop- “the libs are calling you a weak scared chicken wimp, show them you’re not.” Is the point to antagonize the old demented man?

            I think it’s more a finance bro psyop… “Don’t worry about the shit he’s doing, just keep investing, he’ll give up anyway”

            It is a fact. He never follows through. It’s not a message for him, he literally doesn’t think about what other people say because he’s a narcissist. It’s a message for all the MAGA dorks who think they are so tough with a tough guy leader. It’s pointing out just how weak and pathetic they truly are when challenged in any way.

            As for why I made the sign, I’ve made a lot of signs and I only have so many ideas lol.

            Edit: also I left out a part of the story because I forgot. There was one person who clearly did get the message, and it was a scared little snowflake who rolled up all his windows in his emotional support truck even though he was smoking because he was scared while stopped at a red light next to some people with signs. He stared angrily at me specifically thinking he was being intimidating. I laughed at him and it made him big mad. So I guess in a way the sign worked.

        Pointing out that Trump has no conviction to follow through on anything (Trump Always Chickens Out: TACO) and the irony that’s it’s a taco, from the cuisine of his favorite hated minority, makes it a perfect nickname.

    Trump and Netanyahu have interests in the Middle East, so he thinks that if he wins the war, they will be able to colonize Iran.

      “Cultivating strategic depth for Israeli regional hegemony” is what they’ll call the invading and colonizing.

    Leavitt signaled that Trump may achieve those objectives by mid-April. “The Pentagon has always stated four to six weeks as an estimated timeline for Operation Epic Fury,” Leavitt said in the White House briefing room. “We’re on day 30 today—you do the math.”

    My math says it’s taking y’all a lot longer than you fooled yourselves into thinking.

      Israel will never let the US end this war. When there’s a lull or a ceasefire, Israel will break the peace because of there’s conflict Israel gets to build their Greater Israel project.

      The other side also gets to vote for when the war is over.

      As the wars in Ukraine and Iran have shown, its impossible to stop 100% of drone attacks and drone manufacturing.

      Cargo ship insurance companies will have a vote too regarding when the Strait of Hormuz is “open”.

    Is Trump going to say that Iran agreed to his terms without any proof? Is he going to bomb them again for not respecting the terms they agreed to in his mind?

        Since posts on Truth Social are per definition called “truths” (like “tweets”), I guess they are per definition not lies? Unimpeachable logic.

      Hes already done those. The next step is to impose his own blockade on the straight, and claim it doesnt matter what Iran does, America closed the straight until HIS demands are met!

    well that is a relief… now all the US service men being sent to the meat grinder will die to attempt to reopen a Strait that is not even vital to the war effort

    He really doesnt understand the global markets are interconnected and prices rising on inputs to American products due to logistics costs are the least of our worries.

    “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,” Trump wrote in a ​social media post.

    https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/trump-again-warns-iran-open-strait-hormuz-2026-03-30/

    Hell of a reaction to something that is not vital.
