      Or even just 9 months ago, when he told the leader of Germany that D-Day “was not a pleasant day for you.”

      Not to worry. He’s going to be SLAMMED for this. Perhaps even someone will BLAST him. And since journalism is literal Pokémon moves now he might even be CONFUSED or HYPNOTIZED

      He’s a sociopath, no two ways about it. I remember a story his nephew told about bringing his developmentally disabled son (can’t remember the exact condition) to the White House and having multiple meetings with Trump about setting up a bill that would benefit Americans, including his own great-nephew. In one of those meetings, after it had all seemed positive, everyone left the room but Trump and his nephew, to whom Trump immediately said “be a lot easier and less expensive if all these disabled kids would just die”.

        The disabled were one of the first groups rounded up by the Nazis in concentration camps.

        The US is building a lot of concentration camps. It’ll probably be fine.

    Wow, I thought the title is exaggerated but the room did fell silent after that joke. Even Trump seemed to notice it didn’t land that well. Impressive.

    BRO does this fucking retard not get that the ENTIRE US economy is quite literally in HER hands? 🫩 He should be grovelling at her feet with the amount of economic leverage her country possesses. But apparently the only leverage trump cares about is Mossad blackmail material.

    Yk sometimes I feel like he actually intends to self sabotage his own economy on purpose, for example by invading Iran which locked off the Straight of Hormuz, not only is that disastrous because of the obvious oil cut off but it’s the choke point for the Arab Gulf dictatorships which enforce the petrodollar system - no GCC = no petrodollar = American empire collapses - furthermore almost all of the GCC’s food is imported from the straight of fucking Hormuz and because of how dry they are about 60% of their water supply is desalinated, with their desalination plants being hit. Once the Gulf States fall the US falls.

    Then there’s the threatening allies, tariffs, disrespect etc.

    Remember that the US nuked Japan in response. So I guess he’d be ok if Iran nuked the US in response?

      They did not nuke Japan as a response to Pearl Harbor. It was a response to Japan stupidly ignoring the Potsdam Declaration when Germany had already been defeated.

        How would you know what FDRs motivation was?

        “This is for Pearl Harbor, I’ve been waiting a long time for this”.

        It could have been his response to Pearl Harbor, so your correction is REJECTED

          I’d just like to take a moment to say how glad I am that most US presidents didn’t have social media to tell us their thoughts 24/7.

          It’s very possible that some of them were just as dumb as their 21st-century counterparts, but at least we don’t have the tweets to prove it.

            There have been plenty of dumb in the esteemed position of POTUS, but I would like to make the brave claim that Trump is on an entirely different level intellectually compared to most, if not all, previous presidents.

          FDR was dead before the first nuclear test dentonation ever occured…

          So I can pretty conclusively say that dropping atomic bombs on Japan was not his response for pearl harbor.

          I’m going to nitpick a bit but FDR was president and made the decision to go to war with Japan over pearl harbor. Truman made the final decision to drop the nuclear weapons on Japan.

          Roosevelt had likely a plan since the Manhattan project was under his presidency but Truman inherited that.

          I think it’s mostly accepted that the USA did not nuke Japan specifically because of pearl harbor but more to force a rapid surrender. Japan was being extremely stubborn and the estimated loss of US forces was very high to continue the war.

          I also think FDR and his admin were motivated to pursue the Manhattan project in the first place due to the intel that the Nazis were also researching nuclear weapons. Nothing to do with Japan.

    The element of surprise was totally key to winning this war. When you kill ailing 86 year old pope, and 160 grade school girls, you make everyone in Iran immediately see the virtues of Mossad/CIA style democracy. – Don Tzu

    No fucking thanks to the rich assholes who put him into power, not just those who voted for him for the worst single-minded reasons.

    If he’s not actually courting war coming upon him, it would be nearly every country except maybe Israel and Russia boycotting from ever making business with not until he and his gang are removed.

    I haven’t read anything about this interview because I’m preemptively feeling the embarrassment and rage of what our Prime Minister will say or promise to cater to the orange shit stain.
