International Politics Donald Trump 🍊🇺🇸

And Orban was hammered in the Hungarian election despite Vance going over there to support him and Trump giving him his support.
Orban who bizarrely was a friend to Russia and Trump was a big supporter. What a strange world we live in!

Trump implores Americans to boycott ‘dried up prune’ Bruce Springsteen

‘The guy is a total loser who spews hate against a President who won a Landslide Election,’ Trump wrote

There’s only one ‘Boss’ in the USA and it isn’t Trump, the incontinent mentally deranged fuckwit.

Ironic to go after someone for their looks too.

Weird, I was reading the line Trump wrote about Springsteen being a “pushy, obnoxious JERK” and it all made sense for the other way around until the stupid capital letters. Always beware a human who resorts to capital letters.

I like to think that this is an early sign of a new revolution of intelligence…
Let‘s hope.

Not that weird, they're all members of the same authoritarian boys club

No I get that.
To me it is weird as if you had suggested 15 years ago that this could happen, your sanity may have been challenged!
Things have changed so dramatically, relatively quickly.
 
I don't think anyone is in the least bit surprised to see certain individuals filling their boots while Trump routinely indulges in presidential recklessness.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Trump himself was making himself a nice tidy little profit on the side. America and the rest of the world can burn for all Trump care - just so long Trump makes money out of it.

The policy is not America First. It's Trump first.

The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

There are rumours that the Trump family have made $3 to 4 billion since he has been in his second presidency ( the aircraft from Qatar shows how brazen he has been).
It appears to be totally corrupt, but the US system seems to think it ok or not be able to challenge this?

Honestly, at this point I've come to the conclusion that American politics is just systemically corrupt, and the only difference between Trump and the majority of the rest is that he's brazen about it and doesn't care who knows.

The Citizens United ruling in the Supreme Court took away all guard rails for how much, and from whom politicians could raise campaign finance. The restrictions on politicians trading are incredibly weak and both sides of the aisle have clearly been insider dealing for years. Every single major spending bill is chock-full of 'pork' (i.e. additional spending on pet projects of various congressional members to satisfy their regions and/or their donors and the lobbyists). Obamacare gets hailed because it has allowed millions of Americans to get health insurance they couldn't otherwise have afforded - which is great! - but it is insanely, insanely expensive because baked into it are rules that allow vertically integrated insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies to basically collude to extract maximum possible profits from the public purse.

It's a political system that's beautiful in theory, but has been so badly corrupted by this point that I don't really see a fix......because the only way to put appropriate guardrails back in place is a constitutional agreement and that requires a two thirds majority in both House and Senate and three quarters of all states to ratify. Getting two thirds of US politicians to vote against their own gravy trains is a pigs will fly scenario........
 
Trump now blaming the US media for the war with Iran not being over. Apparently the Iranians would be accepting a deal, but they have been "confused" by the US media...

My son has convinced me of this after a couple of years of arguments about whether the dems are any better than Trump.
It’s not quite how I expected draining the swamp to go, but his brazen, unguarded warmongering and grifting might end up collapsing the crippling capitalist system the US is locked into.
 
It's the voting system in the States that's at fault. As we are discovering in this country. Give people a fair voting choice.
