Common estimates are that he’s made $4B off the presidency, he got the Supreme Court to decide that any “official” act by him is legal, and sued his own justice department for $10B to orchestrate a “settlement” with a legally binding agreement to never charge him with anything.
He’s ready to retire now
Edit: oh, we’re only talking Iran? At some point Iran will propose everything they want and hype it online as trumps plan so he can say “winning!”
He can’t leave situation because Israel won’t let him
There will never be a deal
I have been fascinated how Israel decided to partner with a party that is more and more openly inspired by Nazi Germany…. How exactly they expected things to have gone?
This is state level leopard ate my face
Hmmm, you’ve written as though Israel isn’t itself a fascist state. Strange choice there!
Comparing the two, from my perspective, Israel resembles Nazi Germany much more closely than the USA does. Israel has a highly radicalised population that supports the genocide of other races it considers beneath them. In Israel there is overwhelming public support for massacres and dehumanised language and persecution everywhere you look.
The USA, for all its ills, hasn’t committed a genocide in quite a while. Iran is still just a war.
Gaza was a massacre, humiliation and persecution of an entire race of people.
They can just restart it after November. No one wants to invade Iran in a Million degree summer heat anyway.
By then we will be in the Great Depression 2
His endgame is to loot what he can and destroy the rest.
Trump is like 100 years old. There is no endgame but dying pretty soon, there is only the mental disorder of some kind of horder syndrom, accumulating resources he does not really need for no good reason.
I disagree. Whilst he does have mental issues, it has more to do with enriching the people who have the power to protect him another 4 years so he can avoid jail, forcibly leave a mark (he’s insecure) and rile people up, as a backup plan so he can claim he can’t be kicked out because it’s war time
Money isn’t a hoarding disease at this point, it’s a way to avoid accountability
He has no end game. Narcissists never do, because they aren’t losing, because they can’t, not in their own brains anyway.
Yep. And I honestly believe he is a clinical psychopath so is impulsive
He has no endgame. He’s planning to remain in power until he nom-noms his last Big Mac, whether that’s tomorrow or 10 years from now. Unless he goes very soon, he’s also going to set things up for Junior to assume power. All it will take is a very loose interpretation of the Insurrection Act.
According to one U.S. official, Netanyahu’s “hair was on fire” after the call with Trump—for good reason. The Iran war may end up as the single most devastating blow to Israel’s security in its brief history
Hahahaha.
remembers Bibi started all this
Hahahahahahahahahaha
The article also speculates that Trump’s surrender in Iran could be very bad for Israel, thanks to Iran’s control of the Straight of Hormuz:
In a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, Trump reportedly explained that the United States was negotiating a “letter of intent” with Iran that would “formally end the war and launch a 30-day period of negotiations” on Iran’s nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The purpose and effect of such an agreement should be clear: The United States is walking away from the crisis.
According to one U.S. official, Netanyahu’s “hair was on fire” after the call with Trump—for good reason. The Iran war may end up as the single most devastating blow to Israel’s security in its brief history. On the present trajectory, Iran will emerge from the conflict many times stronger and more influential than it was before the war. It will exercise leverage with dozens of the richest nations in the world, all of which will have an acute interest in keeping Iran happy. They will be unlikely to take Israel’s side in any conflict that it has with Tehran or with its proxies in Lebanon and Gaza, because Iran will have the means to punish them if they do. Israel will emerge more isolated than it has been at any time in its history—and not least from its only reliable protector, the United States. When Trump turns his back on Israel, as he must do to implement this policy, MAGA will gladly follow. The bipartisan anti-Israel consensus in the United States will grow and harden.
Good. Anything that hurts Israel, gives Palestinian citizens another day to breathe and live.
will grow and harden
From what I remember about dominionism, they need isreal to exist again so that it can be destroyed. I wonder if this is the rug pull
We still want the epstien files you fat pedo. Losing a war won’t make anyone forget.
His end game is to make a lot of money. And he’s doing that.
He doesn’t care what happens to the poor in either country
Without Americans noticing the magnitude of this defeat?
Oh… no shit. He won that metal. Imagine advancing the decline of the world’s leading empire by decades, if not centuries. Imagine all the indoctrinated, enslaved, and coerced souls who gave their blood, sweat, and tears to put the US where it was. The magnitude of the defeat is staggering. Asking an American for a status report would be like asking a tribe of moles burrowed in Mt. Everest how a recent snowstorm changed the topology of the mountain. They don’t fucking know. They can tell you the cost of oil has gone up, though.
Let’s be real, there’s no way the collapse of pax Americana was going to take centuries
The collapse of Pax Americana will take decades, not centuries. 1 century? Perhaps, but not centuries
Move fast and break things
Decades??? Come now, you’re being overly generous. The collapse of this nightmare will be fast and violent, with lots of screaming and ruin. We might see it by the end of THIS decade.
Yeah, I agree
But he won the FIFA peace price…
More than half of you elected him, twice…
Drump will go down as one of the worst presidents in US history.
He was 45 and 47, so he’ll go down as the two worst presidents in US history
He’s already entrenched in last place, according to historians, who generally like to wait at least a decade before making these judgemental. With Trump, they don’t need the waiting period, or even for his term to end. He is already OBJECTIVELY the worst president in history. All he’s going to do now is set a new record for how bad a president can be.
That’s quite the understatement. He’s actively sabotaging the entire planet.
The worst by a long shot, and some of them were real sacks of shit.
Gonna take awhile though. Reagan fucked the country pretty hard and he never showed up in my HS textbooks.
Absolutely. The MAGA regime could only have existed because of the damage Reagan did. https://youtu.be/l7dHvqA-WB4
Nero didn’t set fire to the city, he just fiddled himself as it burnt. Trump? He pissed kerosene and lit the match.
Odds are, Trump will be considered the worst leader of a major nation in human history.
He already did that. Now it appears as though he is aiming to be the last.
For now. Bush was the worst once and nobody expected worse.
Already has. Just when you think no one could be worse than reagan.
“Drump will go down as
one ofthe worst presidentsin history”… twice.
FTFY.
Fine! Good! Why are we criticizing this, this is the right move. This article has “hitler did terrible things; he made tactical errors” energy.
Iran has a history of using international terrorism, and the US has just re-affirmed themselves as “the great Satan”, Iran’s primary enemy.
While it might be the least bad outcome, it is arguably not cause for celebration. Even if you don’t like Trump.
Okie! What do you propose then? Because I think reparations and a lifting of sanctions are a bit much to ask for, but I do think that would be better for global stability and peace than the US just retreating. Continued aggression by the US is of course a no go, because that has in the past led to the rise of extremist organizations (think ISIS, think al Qaeda), not to mention millions of deaths, and a severe decrease in living standards for the local population (Libya became an open air slave market after the NATO bombings, Iraq blah blah, and so on).
By the by, the label “terrorist” is kind of subjective. The nazis referred to the local resistance fighters as terrorists, and Israel (and the countries that fund their genocide) refers to Hamas as a terrorist organization. It’s a fairly meaningless term aside from sounding a bit spooky. From the perspective of Palestinians and Lebanese, Hamas and Hezbollah are the resistance fighters protecting them from the violent occupier, Israel.
In the case of Hamas, it’s just the government, because they elected them in the early 2000s. They operate hospitals and do other government stuff. Because they’re the government. The only thing that sets it apart from the Israeli government is that the Israeli government is committing a genocide, maintaining apartheid since 67, and doing ethnic cleansing since 48.
Don’t do Israel’s propaganda work for them by labelling their opponents as terrorists.
