Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"I am a Nigerian Princess and I am going to start my own UN. If you decide to invest a billion dollars in it now, you are guaranteed to at least double your investment by the end of the year."

The US government is now a racket headed by an infamous NY gangster that made a fortune scamming people in the real estate business.

History does beat fiction

The grift goes on.

Wait, is it me or did they photoshop his hands slightly bigger for this picture?

Now to see which countries will cough that up.

Well, that’s one way to start the new Axis powers. The internal fascist structure could be a gamble (usually even other fascist leaders want to have more authority than deference), but I guess we’ll see how it goes.

Board of peace has the same energy as ministry of truth

And what if they don't, will he kidnap their Presidents too? Or maybe tarrif them?

Excuse my ignorance but who in the flaming fuck would pay this child rapist douchebag a thin dime? Oh you say, then my country will be protected as I paid it off. As we have seen countless times over the past few months it changes its mind every 30 seconds on any point big or small if it will benefit itself. Well, PT Barnum did say there is a sucker born every minute.

"Board of Peace" tracks better than "Golden Dome". Good phrase donny. That'll make everyone forget about your pedophiliac degeneracy.

That's cute but where are the Epstein files?
The "in cash" part is quite interesting...

The 1bn requirement is a great way to make sure countries in the global south can't join.

It's Trump, so the odds are ever in your favor.

I thought it was about the Gaza Strip "peace" plan. Did I miss something here?

Bored of peace....

Reminds me of the episode of Silicon Valley when Jian-Yang is working on cloning popular western apps for the Chinese market and the whiteboard behind him is just a list of items like "New Facebook", "New Reddit" and "New Pied Piper" etc. Trump has a well established history of slapping his name on/endorsing, crappier versions of other people's ideas, e.g. Truth Social.

He’s such a fucking joke.

And he'll maintain control of the funds in Qatar.

Sounds like the league of nations just collapsed

Little like Trump University, but for peace.
