Donald Trump erupted at the United Kingdom Tuesday morning over its refusal to join the United States in its war against Iran, issuing the European nation a notice that the United States would no longer be offering it “help.”

“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

    And his entire campaign was based on convincing willful idiots that his presidency would do the exact opposite.

    Now the US is dead last in education, science, GDP and trade. Lmao

    Good luck blaming all that on Biden and Obama as if it’s possible to pretend that any facet of society wasn’t objectively better. There is no war in Ba Sing Se!

      Every day I get more and more depressed that he got a second term. We knew so much about him as a person before the election, and it has only gotten worse as time passes. The raping of children, his business practices, his racism, how he was raised, how he treats his family, his ties to the Russian mob… The fact that he’s president is some kind of cosmic-level joke. The fact that the entire system let him become (and continue to be) president makes me lose faith in humanity. The Saul Goodman of slumloards was the best that the rich could pull off…and it WORKED? Like, are we always doomed to come back here? The powerful will always choose themselves over any common good. Even when the system resets, the accumulation of power is inevitable. Like… they chose him to dance and clown and do exactly what they want. I don’t know whose hand is up his ass, but the fact that this is the guy, THE guy, and we watch him in real time dismantle 100 years of stabilizing economic policy, line his pockets, and more or less hand global hegemony to Russia and China.

      All because he was an open secret of a rapist and Obama made fun of him once. I’m just dumbfounded. I truly thought better of humanity.
