According to United States law, any children born in United States territory is considered an US citizen and regardless of the claim being legitimate or not according to the US it is their territory, therefore any child born there would be considered US citizen, basically allowing in free immigration from Iran.

That game should really be called 4d chess with multiverse time travel. They "only" added two dimensions to regular chess, but in regular chess the pieces don't move in all 3 dimensions, only 2.
That being said I have almost 20 hours in this game and am still too stupid for it, even if it's "only" 4D 😭

“Pretty soon, I will be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said during an address highlighting his administration’s efforts to combat crime in the U.S.
That'll do it. That'll stop crime in the US for sure. I can follow the logic
Only losers stick to a single topic. This guy multitasks like no other.
Nope. Not really. All this random multitasking, all the constant never ending bullshit. It's all actually 1 task.
That 1 task is called "Distract everybody from the epstein files"

I’ll declare myself President of the United States.
Difference is I’d actually show up and do a better job.
O shoot! We can do that? We can just do that? Alright. I call Ohio a mechoman444 territory!
There is a far greater senility problem, than anyone could ever accuse Biden of having. The problem is greater because he has no handlers around him to filter the stupid.
Trump also announced a few weeks ago that the US would collect 20% tarrifs/tolls on all shipments in the SoH. He had to walk back the stupid 2 days later. The only path towards the stupidity becoming reality is if Iran or Oman becomes a US territory, although planting a US flag on a small rock near the SoH, and setting a precedent of whoever controls that rock has territorial control over the SoH (pure stupid), would legitimize Iran's full claim, after they kill all US troops on the rock.
This would justify immediate impeachment, or to at least force another cognitive test at congress's request for review by congress.
How does this dumbfuck manage to get STUPIDER with each passing day? It's like he's studying to get a PhD in Imbecility.
His brain is atrophying as his dementia continues to worsen.
I guess there’s still hope then that one of these days a piece of the brain will die where he loses the ability to speak & move. I’ll sleep well tonight to the thought that this vile piece of shit could die slowly, alone and afraid 🤗🛏️
It will be hilarious if Biden out lives him

Absolutely brilliant Trump. And now that you are at it, why not declare China a US territory too?
I wonder why nobody thought of that before? I guess it's because they don't have big brains. 🤡 🤢 🤣
Hey poster, can you post a non amp link instead?
Here you are:

I think at this point he is just jealous that he doesn't have a 10 year war like Vietnam to his name and this is why he is a acting like a spoiled little child regarding this.
and i declare i am the empress of MARS. woop de dooo. the emperor has no clothes
I wouldn't recommend the no clothes thing on Mars.
I wouldn't recommend the no clothes thing on Trump.
Why not just follow Israel's lead and declare all other countries and the buildings and homes in them property of the United States?
Then everyone else becomes a criminal tresspasser terrorist and they have to do what we say because they're bad and we're right and it's normal and reasonable for us to zip tie a man's peener and parade him naked in front of his family, and shoot the kids if they so much as look at the rocks that are everywhere because we smashed their neighbors house into rubble the day before.
Basically Same energy
Yeah I'm sure that will work.
until the markets open up on monday.
And I declare that trump's rectum is a Putin territory.
Isn't it already in Iranian AND Omani waters? You can't just claim something someone already owns...especially a country you're not at war with (Oman).
As a matter of fact, you can! It's a great way to start wars and annex territories. Not so good for treaty negotiations, though.
You can’t just claim something someone already owns…especially a country you’re not at war with (Oman).
Buddy...
Most wars start because someone claimed someone else's territory...

Damn...I thought I was the emperor of the universe 😞
Somebody tell this 🤡 (and Putin too) that annexations can happen after a war, not during. If you try to do reichskommissariats before the end of the war, you're in shitty company and people will take you less seriously.

Ok
To trumpy: The trump/epstein mp4's you degenerate pervert. Remember those? No matter what outrageous shit you do as a bona fide degenerate pervert the trump/epstein mp4 files will always be there. Deal with it motherfucker and hate us even more for it. Please clock, tick, tick, tick (embolism go BOOM!).
Sounds like he’s setting up justification for nukes. They attacked US territory.
That is a russian policy. But I see how you got the two failing empires mixed up.
It's still possible that Trump has gotten his wires crossed and thinks it's an American thing. All it takes is one of his Russian handlers to mention that that's how it works in Russian and for him assume it's the same in the US. His brain isn't great with nuance after all. It's not like he understands the hows or whys of preexisting policies anyway.
