    It’s a mystery why the whole world is turning their backs to the US and getting on better without them.

    Trump is here to trade Taiwan to China in exchange for forgiving any and all US debt.

    The fascists are on board because they get to clamp down on American society and specifically, the left.

    That’s why they hired this weird fuck and that’s why the people on board are on board. They say Russia, Russia, Russia, and obviously Russia is part of the problem.

    But the big winner of the Trump era is China.

      Tech needs tsmc in Taiwan because the infrastructure takes like 5-10 years to build, they’re building in Arizona I think. They won’t move on Taiwan until it’s done.

      he’d have to literally kill all of them to “lose” them, and even that might not do it… Lindsay Graham followed Trump into his grave, and his ghoul of a sister (which I’m convinced is just a Lindsay Graham lich) popped right up to take his place and keep following him!

      they will literally follow him off this (or any) cliff

        It’s a political mania, and manias always end in collapse. Unfortunately, we’re going to witness the collapse of the United States, which will have massive effects on the rest of the world, most likely via economic upheaval and war.

          the US is far too big and powerful to collapse…

          it can only metastasize… and it’s really doing that already

              Yeah, well, let me know when the Canadians are gonna come over the seventh hill…

              (((MUCH DOUBT)))

              Screaming “I’m sorry“ and gifting us all giant jugs of maple syrup

              Oh, unless I forget, please burn down the atrocity that Trump has made of the White House. Seriously, you’ll be doing this all the fucking favor.

              No, the Canadians are gonna keep to themselves with their resources and universal healthcare. Then they’re gonna watch us collapse from afar.

              We had our chance to revolt, but we decided to watch Netflix and Hulu instead. The greatest explosion of potential that collapsed into the depths of everyone’s disappointment. No, I realized than by ourselves. Of course, that’s why heroin is now very legal here and freely distributed by the government.

              Hey Siri, what a shame that we collectively decided that we were “above” that. We could’ve fun and gotten our country back but no no no we were “above” all of the precise level of violence who was required to reclaim our freedom. No, no no, we’re too good for that now. Better off to be slaves than to engage in a violence!.

                Look if Canada wants to claim the northern bits of the US after the collapse, I’m all for it. I’m there, I’m ready to go.

                The collapse won’t be nearly as sudden as that. Heck, a dying America may even get the dumb idea of annexing Canada (which they’d likely be able to do), but with their international prestige done, their economy collapsing from debt, they’d be fully reduced to little more than a regional power

      It doesn’t matter if he loses Congress, they’re being blackmailed by Israel and they will not remove trump without ok from Bibi. Trump is the best thing to ever happen to Bibi.

      I’m hoping Corporal Couchfucker and the cabinet decide to oust him, but the earliest that would realistically happen is the end of January, after the new Congress is seated and he becomes eligible to run for two full terms himself.

    Is he trying to signal to North Korea that it would be fine for them to invade South Korea because he’s butthurt that they were smart enough to stay away from attacking Iran? What could possibly go wrong?

      USS Abraham Lincoln departed for a 180-day deployment on November 21st, 2025. That was ~270 days ago, and they are scheduled to remain on station until USS George Washington relieves them later this week.

      Normally, the Navy schedules a port call for its carriers every 30-45 days. Lincoln hasn’t had a port call since a one-day stop in Guam back in December.

      What Trump is really saying is that ships that had been scheduled to participate in the exercises are being diverted to support the Iran war. The Navy is reducing its presence in the South Pacific and repositioning them in the Indian ocean.

      Donnie asked South Korea for help in Iran, and South Korea told him to pound sand.

    This at the same time that the South Korean president is talking about opening a dialogue with Pyongyang to formally end the war can’t be a coincidence

      SK probably thinks the US wouldn’t have their back if war resumed. They’d probably be right.

    He’s really desperate to be able to say he ended a war, huh? Any war at all. Even if it’s not technically a war.

      Well technically the Korean War has never ended in a peace treaty. The two sides signed a ceasefire that is still holding to this day. Just don’t tell Trump. We know how much he loves breaking ceasefires.
