Now for Congress to slap him down.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 20 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Nobody is cutting deals with Trump. You can't trust he'll honor it tomorrow, because he absolutely won't. Better to wait for the next guy, and the new, post-MAGA America.

A Trump never pays their debts

Both sociopathic pieces of shit.

Psychopathic

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

He probably believes that by forcefully calling it big and beatiful he can will those qualities into existence. Classic billionaire mentality, if I am saying it, it must be correct. Plus a significant dose of college grade bullyism.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (3 children)

"if I am saying it, it must be correct" is not billionaire mentality. It's mentality of abusive person.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

he reminds me of a relative that has Alzheimers. Same obsessiveness, grudges over every perceived slight, making things up and getting irrationally mad about them, etc etc.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

billionaires tend to do this quite alot, there is certainly a correlation. I think there is also a causation, i.e among people with opportunities it is easier to become a billionaire if you are abusive.

To the complete surprise of absolutely no one with the cognitive capability to put a pair of pants on.

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 47 points 3 days ago (5 children)

God, Trump is so excited about this too. Every time he talks about it I get this sinking feeling like he's going to order the US military to side with Russia over Europe and Ukraine.

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 27 points 3 days ago (4 children)

At least now the US has a house and senate that might actually do their job and act as a check on unfettered executive power.

True, but it's far too late to mobilize that sort of force for a serious offensive. Like we're not already spread thin in the Gulf of Hormuz and running out of defensive interceptors. 🙄

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

An entire additional carrier strike group has already been mobilized and en route for a few days now

That's got to be one of the largest total US Navy deployments since WW2

[–] ogrrr@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

To Hormuz? Or to Ukraine?

[–] wampus@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Or... they'll do the standard democrat thing, and be totally ineffective. Chuck'll write an angry letter, but still support the bullshit.

Any deal with trump should be rejected, as the rest of the world well knows. Just wait until that dishounourable degenerate gasbag goes away so we can all start using pens again.

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 49 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (10 children)

You don't even have to dignify him with a response at this point. Just say that your looking forward to the working with the next legitimate leader of the United States

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Gotta refute it or the orange guy will think they agreed.

For an insecure administration.

This whole presidenture would be so hilarious is he couldn't do any damage to other people and our allies.

I bet Russians and Chinese laughing out loud how he is destroying the West.

I'm glad that EU stopped with trying to please him. That never worked.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (3 children)

China, at least, has to be thrilled. Trump ceded so many economic sectors to China. EVs, solar power, nuclear power, among others

Not only that, but his war on Iran pushed the world towards those technologies much faster than it otherwise would have

Trump only really gave Putin a bit more time to draw out his war on Ukraine

[–] Carl@anarchist.nexus 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yup, I’m sure China is over the moon. A lot of his decisions have basically just boiled down to “hand {soft power} directly to China.” Because the slimy sack doesn’t understand the concept of long-term planning and soft power. Hell, he doesn’t even understand quarterly business planning, because he bankrupts every business he gets his tiny mitts on.

What needs to be remembered with the pedotator (thanks stumu415@lemmy.zip, I love it) is that his handlers work for the largest arms manufacturing companies / country in the world. Destabilizing shit is profit. Glad to see more and more of the world not putting up with the crap.

Ditch 'NATO' (It's dead Jim) military spending requirements via % of GDP, Europe just needs enough the fend off a Russia that's mostly spent on Ukraine (which should be heartily supported) for a few years until Putin inevitably gets defenestrated.

Two years of un-neutered Trump was enough to finally break Pax Americana, I guess we're moving towards Pax Sino or whatever it gets called. Sure would be nice if the middle powers got together and headed that off. Much as I like the concept of the U.N. the veto powers hobble it as a true vehicle of international unity, maybe everyone should join the EU?

Here's hoping the Dems actually keep the cheeto clown tied up in serious litigation and red tape for the next two years and the demented fool doesn't get to release the nukes. Actually effective impeachment sure would be nice. Doesn't he look tired?

And one of the new Congress's first orders of business is to shut this treason down.

The Shart of the Deal

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sounds like there's no details and it's a refutation of the entire concept.

The initiative has immediately drawn objections from European officials, who insist that the continent’s security arrangements are already established and cannot be renegotiated over their heads.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 10 points 3 days ago

They're not even willing to hear him out and I'm very much in favour of this development.

[–] Garfunkel@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Trying to unite all the good white nations? Definitely not white supremacist.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I am white and he is not trying to unite my nation. Ukraine is all white and he is definitely not trying to unite it. Unless conquest is considered unification.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

He's trying to unite Ukraine with Russia. Kumbaya, motherfucker, or else!
