Trumps latest comment.

[On Balance]

Given its title, this thread could just go on and on...��

Having sat down with the Prime Minister of Japan in an effort to persuade them to join his war on Iran, Dementia Don then demonstrated his diplomatic prowess by referencing Pearl Harbour when asked by a reporter why he had not consulted with his Allies first, before launching his attack on Iran.

All the late night hosts-Kimmel, Colbert, Stewart etc-along with many political commentators are having a field day with the Toddler in Chiefs continued contradictory statements/ lies/ bragging/ grifting and general stupidity but now the right leaning media too are increasing the pressure and it isn't helping that Trump has surrounded himself with sycophantic idiots to try and field their questions.

Hegseth, meanwhile, has asked Congress for a mere 200 billion dollars more for this war that was apparently won on the first day according to his Dear Leader. Understandably, this has gone down like a lead balloon. With his ratings looking likely to drop below the 39% and his joint "excursion" with Bibi proving almost as unpopular at home as it is with America's allies, the Toddler in Chief is now throwing yet another tantrum, calling his Allies "cowards" for complaining about the rising cost of oil but not helping him to keep the Strait of Hormuz open which, he says, "now that the fight is militarily WON" would be "easy" to do.

Regardless of how hateful the regime in Iran is-I) He started this (illegal) war and created this situation.2) If he has won it, why does he need a further 200 billion dollars? 3) Keeping the Strait open is NOT easy because escort ships alone are not sufficient to protect slow moving tankers from attacks by drones. If this really was "easy" then the US Navy would have already accomplished it.

One of the best ways to deal with either a narcissist or a toddler having a tantrum is to ignore them. To engage with them is like providing oxygen to a fire. Let's see how the NATO allies respond. It would be funny if they did just decide to turn their backs and ignore him completely just to see Trumps reaction to that and what tonight's angry midnight tweets will be.

Top post Omeg.

Trump has become a national embarrassment to the USA. He has in one year destabilised the world and caused death and hardship on a scale never seen before for decades, if at all, by a western Government.

Trump started this mess in the Middle East. He said it is won, he said he did not want any help. He got what he asked for.

We, as a nation and NATO do not need to support this war criminal in his antics. Would anyone support a criminal in an illegal action and consider there would be no reprisals.

We need to stay out of this disgraceful leaders problems, particularly ones he created.

Trump is a shocking President and he will go down in history as being such.
