Die already
What a fucking embarrassment.
That's an understatement.
Yeah, being only incompetent would feel like a change for the better.
Trump is desperate to get his name on everything before he dies. He's always been desperate to get his name on things, and now that he's getting older and more infirm, he positively reeks of desperation.
But I suspect that the future historians won't be kind to him and eventually we'll get his name off of everything and his only real legacy will be in every list of history's worst American Presidents.
"only real legacy will be in every list of history’s worst American President" and in in the Epstein Files and as a convicted felon and as a sexual predator and as a child rapist and ...
He'll get some scrutiny, but the real story is the society that put him there and kept him there.
considering who supplies the majority of US textbooks...unlikely to be nearly as negative as it should be
I read another commenter in another thread recently call it Damnatio Memoriae, a process often revealed in archaeology and / or ancient history whereby successors or the populace try to scrub a ruler from history.
Back in the oil baron days they’d just fund a building for the public like a hospital or school but I guess he’s too broke for that.
Probably too broke, definitely too cheap.
Everything burns.
This is so pathetic. What an embarrassment.
Trump will be remembered for his many crimes and ethical bankruptcy. Inevitably after he's gone, there will be no incentive to cover for him, and the incentive will be to blame him for the terrible state in which he will leave the US economy and international relations.
Anyone with a pulse knows that he is a child rapist. Anyone with above-room-temperature IQ knows that he was deeply involved in Epstein's operation, acquiring, grooming, and warehousing girls. Any genuine investigation will produce evidence of that.
He's also single-handedly destabilised the global economy. The trillions of dollars his dumb ideas have cost everyone in productivity are just breathtaking.
Operation Epstein Fury is probably the USA's biggest and most costly unforced strategic error in history. The consequences will resound through the coming decades.
The culmination of this context is that he has accelerated China's rise to dominance and the USA's collapse into irrelevance. As an Australian, just 2 years ago I was keen for us to cosy up to the US in the hope that the yanks would help us push back on China's expansion of influence in the region. Honestly, now I feel more comfortable with China than I do with the US.

It’s been really awesome having a demented old pedofile child murderer as the most powerful person in the world. Everyday I’m like I can’t wait to see how much worse it can get. We literally could have randomly picked any crackhead in America and they would have been a better president.
If sundown syndrome had a human avatar that exaggerated the symptoms...
A caricature of himself
I hate it here.
The president again boasted he has “stopped eight wars”
It doesn't really count if you were the one who didn't start those eight wars.
Personally, I've prevented nine cases of underage drinking this week.
Can we just give him a Nobel Peace Prize so that he'll stop bombing schools.
He's not gonna stop if he gets the prize. Narcissists and abusers never stop when they get what they want.
Rewarding bad behaviour leads to more bad behaviour, who woulda thunk.
Can we put a bomb in the prize first?
The Noble Piece(s) Prize...
Well, I'm sure he'd gladly accept it if you tell him that this prize is unprecedented - different to every other Nobel prize, especially the one Obama won. For the first time ever, as a very special honour that no one else has ever earned, a key part of it will be manufactured by Dyno Nobel, the company founded by the very same Alfred Nobel who established the prize. This is a very big beautiful honour indeed!
Maybe give it to the families of the girls and those who lived.
That Venezuelan politician already did. And, did it help?
Man, he's just begging Iran to "open his straight"
I wouldn't have a problem with them calling it 'Trump's Passage '.
Watch, somehow he will claim victory for when this war ends, and then promptly add it to the dubious list of wars he’s ended during his presidency.
“Hur dur gib me dem pees prizes NOW!1!!1!111!
And, a third of the country will repeat it as gospel. Fucking idiots.
"will claim"? He has legitimately already stated several times that he won and they are just winding things down now.
Oh, another "meandering speech"? It should be "meandering, hateful, lying" and maybe a few more adjectives. Refering only to his dementia is not enough.
I can imagine the Don's thought process here (he's as transparent as a 5-year-old): Google trends says the term "Hormuz" is more popular than my name right now. Need to change it.

They just need to declare that the award no longer exists. That’s all the winners there will ever be. Thanks for playing everyone!
He ain’t gonna win it this year the way he’s going.
He's sooo upset about not winning it. I don't think he realizes that he will get to suffer this same humiliation every year. He's making it so much harder on himself by bringing it up all the time.
Unless he's trying to send some weird message to the committee that he'll end the war if they give him the award?
Had to double check that this wasn’t an onion article. I’m not even surprised that it’s not.
Is this asshole seriously still whining about the Nobel Peace Prize? Didn't the winner of the prize eventually just give the prize to him?

so THIS is the art of the deal? 🤭
Y'know what, I say we let him have this one. Let him plaster his name all over this giant horrible pointless mess. He owns it. The Strait of Trump. Fuck it.
“We're negotiating now, and it’d be great if we could do something, but they have to open it up. They have to open up the Strait of Trump — I mean, Hormuz. Excuse me, I'm so sorry, such a terrible mistake,” Trump said.
“The fake news will say he accidentally said — there's no accidents with me, not too many. If there were, we'd have a major story,” he added.
“If I don't get the Nobel Prize for peace, nobody will ever get it. I didn't get it. I'm not surprised. The person that got it was shocked — she’s a wonderful woman too, by the way,” he said.
This is completely incongruent with reality. Trump has lived his hyper-privileged life speaking the things he wants into existence, and that privilege has now reached its limit.
These are not the words of a sane person.
Oh my god he actually called it the Straight of Trump.
And then he pretended it was a mistake, and then claimed the "fake news media" would call it an accident, but that he doesn't make accidents, and that it would be really big news if he did?
He's sundowning...
I'm more astonished that he admitted to making a mistake, and that he did so straight away.
He must be realising that his brain is failing him and that he can't fake it any more.
I think that was deliberate. See, it wasn't a mistake at all. He thought he was being cunning. "I can slip in calling it the strait of trump, and maybe it'll catch on. I'll cover for myself by pretending it was a mistake."
But because he's a narcissist, he just couldn't refrain from following that up with "but actually I don't have accidents. The fake news mainstream media will call it an accident. But if I did have an accident it would be big news".
Like, his brain is so rotted it doesn't even pick up on all those contradictions. He literally thinks he's being clever...
He can only acknowledge making a mistake when he thinks it's a lie intended to deceive people about something he did on purpose... the man is twisted...
There's nothing to "negotiate" Donald. You leave and pay repairations to Iran for an unprovoked attack. That's it.
The man is so damned insane I cannot understand how they continually put up with him when all the gears of government would roll a million times smoother without that nuthatch in the drivers seat
Because the powers behind this want to buy everything and create feudal city states they rule
