I'm hoping I am wrong. But him and his cabinet of world-burner yes-men-and-women don't have enough braincells to navigate an issue and avoid it like the Cuban Missile Crisis. So it seems like the likely outcome
America! **** yeah! Comin’ to town to save the motherfuckin’ day, yeah! to violate international law by attacking a sovereign country and abducting its leader, yeah! Edit: to be clear, when I say “people”, I’m not singling out anyone in this thread, I mean “people” in more general terms. Thing is… in all of this… the thing that amazes me the most… is that people are still surprised by Trump. He’s been telling us what kind of president he’d be for 10 years - much longer than that, in fact. The rest of the world has had 10 years to listen - the US has had the same opportunity, but the fact that he was elected twice tells us everything we need to know about the US’ collective judgement at the moment. He is a thin-skinned man-baby who has bullied and abused his way through life and throws tempter tantrums when things don’t go his own way. He has always been a racist shitbrain. He refused to rent out apartments to black people in the 70s. He couldn’t handle the fact that not only did an educated, erudite, and charismatic black man get elected as president, but that people liked the black guy. He had a total ****ing meltdown when the black president cracked a mild joke at his expense at an event where cracking mild jokes at the expense of the audience is the entire ****ing point of the event. He owned (or at least partly owned) the Miss Teen USA “beauty pageant” and used to comment on how attractive the kids were. When she was 16, he said he’d date his own daughter if she wasn’t his daughter. We damn well knew he was cozy with Epstein. He has a string of failed business behind him that you don’t even have to work hard to find because they’ve all got his ****ing name on them. He’s skipped out on so much debt that the only people who lend to him any more were shady foreign investors that could exercise leverage over him, like Russian oligarchs and Russian state-backed organisations. We have always known exactly who and what this piece of **** is. He has been telling us exactly who and what he is since long before his first presidential election campaign in 1999. And yet people are surprised when this ****ing awful piece of **** does ****ing awful things.
In happier news, the Nobel committee have finally announced that the Peace Prize cannot be transferred to someone else once awarded, so Dear Leader can never have Ms Machado's. https://www.nobelpeaceprize.org/articles/is-it-possible-to-revoke-a-nobel-peace-prize
