Imagine if the dumbest person in the world and humanity’s biggest asshole were the same person, and that guy was president. Then imagine he started a war with Iran. Now check the news. One look, and here’s what you should be thinking: “Yep, that tracks.”

        Liberals do. They think if Trump didn’t win this wouldn’t have happened, but Israel would have dragged the US into this war under KH just the same as they did under Trump. It might have been managed differently, without Idiocracy level leadership, but this fascist war to secure Israel’s expansionist goals would still have happened. Netanyahu spent decades rubbing himself to that dream, and it’s not just Trump that delivers what Israel wants.

    And him even having a chance at being in that office is a product of a lot American stupidity…but I’m told that we should not blame the voters that voted for this idiot, but blame the Democratic Party for some fucking reason.

        I’m convinced that at least some of them are plants, sent in to try to completely demoralize the Democratic Party and the base.

        It’d be one thing if they were organizing and doing actual work for a credible alternative. But they are not. Pissing and moaning about the Democrats and then voting Green Party at the national level every 4 years, or just staying home, is so completely unserious…

        It’s to the point where I just laugh at these types of armchair revolutionaries that I have the pleasure to know IRL. The online ones are especially precious when they think they’ve really convinced themselves that people like me have not heard all their excuses before.

    Let’s not muddy the waters. “Trump’s War With Iran Is a Product of Distracting from the Trump/Epstein Files to Protect Himself and the International Rapist Cabal”. His deep stupidity was there all along.

      The quote “Right now, there are 13-year-old kids about to invade Kamchatka in their first-ever game of Risk that look like Carl von Clausewitz compared to Trump.” just about covers the level of strategic planning but I don’t understand how tactical planning is also so poor. I’m guessing Pete’s purges have shredded the upper ranks of everyone who’s not a sycophant.

      sure we do, everyone who voted for him.

      Donald’s doing great, guys a fucking genius, psychopath for sure but a genius none the less… making lots of money, flies on the tax payer dime in a private jet, can shit in his diaper at public functions and have someone else clean it up, abuse women and have them vote for him, abuse latinos of all descriptions and have them vote for him, play golf when he wants, gets some of the best medical care in the world, endless body guards paid for on the tax payer dime and on and on.

      Literally any of his supporters. The only thing more stupid than being stupid is blindly trusting the dumbest person on the planet.

      It’s quite the canundrum. Millions of people are tied for dumbest.

        In my high school there were always a few senior boys who would make life terrible for everyone. Not just the younger kids, they’d go after the staff as well.

        I figured it out eventually. These guys knew that once they graduated their lives were over. They had no skills, no connections, and zero opportunities for advancement. They could get the same jobs as their Dads, or join the military.

        This is the mentality of a Trump voter. Their lives suck, so they’ll bring everyone else down.

      Disagree. The guy’s actually quite media savvy and (somehow) understands how to tap into working class resentment.

      (Never mind that people like him fucking regular folks over for decades are the reason the working class is resentful)

        Only reason we even know who this loudmouth dumbass even is is because he was born into wealth. And later propped up (by Russians?) after his bankruptcies.

        All he did in 2016 was say out loud what Nixon, Reagan, and the Bush family said quietly.

        He’s playing on easy mode. Conservatives are so easy to fool, and he has a huge media system designed to control their thoughts through the most embarrassingly simple kinds of manipulation imaginable. He works for them as a loud, obnoxious figurehead so that everyone else can contimue to be evil like they’ve a been for many decades.

    I, Donald Trump, would like to inform you all of the TRUE reason for the operation in Iran - we need to liberate the TrumpWater™ they stole from me!

    The Department of Health has discovered a brand new compound called TrumpWater™ shortly after the start of my second term. All you need to do is breathe it in, and you’ll be fully hydrated! And Iran is hiding the stuff on their oil rigs! They have some fancy equipment to detect TrumpWater™, so we need to take that too!

    The RADICAL LEFT keeps calling TrumpWater™ dangerous, but they’re all lying! Like Sleepy Joe! Oxygen likes to set things on fire, so I, Donald Trump, had the oxygen in water replaced for your safety! I had it replaced with clean, pure SULFUR! Iran knows how good TrumpWater™ is, so that’s why they’re hiding TrumpWater™ on their oil rigs! From both me and the RADICAL LEFT!

    Get your bottle of TrumpWater™ today!

    Trump thought that under massive bombing Iran would surrender. He also thought Iranians would start massive protests against the regime. He envisioned the US involved in producing Iranian oil and making a profit, similar to Venezuela. The problem is Iran is far from the US and Russia and China can exert greater influence.
