Listening to him pat himself on the back for solving a problem he fucking created, is absolutely infuriating.

Not to mention: I’m guessing part of the motive here is that someone finally dumbed down the concept of “the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is going to be GONE in mid-July” enough for him to somewhat understand it
But also, given how complex and convoluted international supply chains are, and how many products and goods are impacted directly and indirectly by petroleum supply shocks, I rather doubt we’re fully dodging the economic bullet that’s coming in the next few months.
Don't forget the fertilizer we couldn't get on the ground.
lol yep - it’s gonna be a wild ride when we start having food shortages in the US. And I am not sure it can be avoided at this point.
Edit: and that assumes that Israel isn’t going to once again spike the deal by continuing to bomb the shit out of Lebanon
I heard screw worms can help in not needing food ever again.
lol oh yep - almost forgot about that whole thing 🫠
Israel: Hold my transfer-activating "Lebanon Exploder" device
Jokes on us; thanks to his tariffs no one was buying those crops anyways.
Did we ever expect anything else?
And he never even achieved the goal he supposedly created the problem for, which is Iran’s uranium enrichment capabilities.
That's his operating policy
Invent a problem that doesn't exist
Pretend to resolve it
Demand Nobel peace prize
"We did it"
You did it, sir.
☺️
Hes still in office. The world is still depressed.
He's still alive. The world is still depressed.
Was it the Swedes who said something to the effect of “We aren’t going to reward someone who brings a bucket to extinguish the fire they started.”
deal avoids world wide depression
A fucking depression that YOU started you fat orange fuck
I'm not an American and in principle I don't give many fucks about what idiots in other countries vote for to be their next leader but the US is a fucked up place with world wide reaching tentacles and whatever they do always ends up with consequences for the entire fucking world
Can you PLEASE already get rid of trump?
Been trying. Fucker keeps cheating at elections. Over the last 30 years, our government has slowly been purchased by private interests to the point where we can only investigate made up claims of election interference instead of actually real and viable ones. It's maddening, as our system no longer works, and there's literally no uncorrupted mechanism by which we can fix it.
As bad as the US is making the rest of the world, I assure you it's worse inside the states. And getting worse by the month.
The problem is very much a self correcting one though, as Orangalf Shitler is in incredibly poor health. To the point where he hasn't golfed since May. And the bloated sun baked bigmac usually spends every weekend golfing.
This bullshit dies with him, as the propaganda machine tied itself to his personality instead of manufacturing consent. Without his personality, even MAGA cultists will no longer consent to billionaires turning us all into well monitored and domesticated capital, milked daily for the oligarchs.
Trump dying would surely cure my depression a little bit.
That he started
Because Israel asked, and they're furious that he's backing out of it.
Peace plan? Is that what mainstream media is trying to spin it? More like a 'I-Fucked-Up-And-I-Chickened-Out
Trump may take their broadcast licenses if they call it total surrender.
Autopen signature.
- Create problem
- Solve that problem
- ?????
- Profit.
Throw some insider trading in there and yep: it will actually create a bunch of profit for some
- Bomb brown people's homes and school.
Try not to sprain your wrist jerking yourself off, Donald.
Don't shame the man for jacking himself off. Encourage it, and exploration! He could really learn a few things from David Carradine
Damn, a few more oopsies like this and he’ll be half as bad as wearing a tan suit or eating Dijon mustard… could you imagine?!?
Why don't we all thank the president from preventing the ninth war of his year long administration?
And put on a suit for christs sake
Don't you dare say one year. We're getting closer to the halfway point of his shitty regime and don't want to feel any further away than we currently are.
- cause crisis
- manipulate market several times
- deliver solution which is worse than before the crisis
Good job!
Someone should depress his skull with a small lead object.
deal averts ‘worldwide depression’
Um. Isn't it more like "deal tries to end US-inflicted downward trend towards worldwide depression"?
This is how you lie while technically telling the truth.
The real worldwide depression is the fact that this fucker hasn't died yet.
Someone needs to mash this up with Donvict's mug...
So Iran has now the Epstein files
Arsonist saves building he burned down.
To late for that.
Aside from data center construction, we are already in a recession and as soon as that AI bubble pops....
ⓧ Doubt
What's going on ??
Netanyahu's war of choice blew up in Trumps face.
Well put
