I don't know if he's obsessed by oil. So far when a president invaded a country because of it's oil, it always went with a cover story to justify it. Now the (cover) story provided by Trump is oil, so it may be possible it was all just to get the Nobel prize. As trinkets are all he cares about. Now it looks like he wants what I want when playing hearts of iron: make all the continent mine.
His best before has already expired, one foot is in the grave, old age takes its toll, why do you think he would care about anything other than himself at this point in his life?
Why make up a conspiracy when they’re telling you to your face what they’re doing? Trump literally read outloud a note passed to him in a meeting, he has no filter left and he’s never been subtle.
Ya’ll please just deal with the issues in front of you. There’s no secret motivation that will change and then make the problem go away, the problem is just what it is and needs to be dealt with.
Does it matter? He invaded a country illegally and kidnapped it's leader. Whether his motivation is oil or the Nobel peace pride, it doesn't change the fact he's a war criminal, on top of being a pedophile, rapist, white collar criminal and probably much more.
You brought it up! Unless you’re going through a multiple personality disorder thing the guy I replied to is you talking about his reasons.
Thank you the diagnosis, random guy on the internet. Clearly you never heard of the concept "humor". Maybe find a thesaurus, work your way through it. Cheers.
That’s not humour and you’re just embarrassed for being called out.
Making fun of Trump isn't humor? Are you MAGA?
That’s not really what you did and not what I was talking about? Like at all? Brother, your low literacy level ain’t gunna be my problem, go figure that out on your own time.
Low literacy level? Me? Then follow with "ain't gunna".
I was definitely making fun of Trump. Wasn't that hard to get imo (in my opinion), but somehow it was and still is a whoosh for you (meaning you missed the joke). And clearly you cannot handle that, seeing your desperate attempts to insult me.
Alright fine, I’ll add this just for you: You were trying to find some conspiratorial justification for why Trump invaded and I said that you don’t need to look that deep because the fact is that he attacked another nation. You then came back with “it doesn’t matter because he’s doing bad things” which is pretty much what I said. Then you thought I was MAGA even though I said something very clearly anti-Trump.
This isn’t difficult.
It is the party, they are coming out of the(ir nazi) closet and holding his hand to betray his america first promises and use the unchallenged power of the military for the benefit of their rich and connected.
We get the bill. And if we are dumb enough a feeling of pride being the most capable of killing people for the benefit of the same rich stealing our lunch.
The president does not know what is going on. Big fella really went downhill the last 5 years, he is running on autoprick.
Trump is too stupid to come up with a plausible cover story, though he tried claiming that Venezuela was the source of fentanyl coming into the US, which was quickly and easily disproven.
