Donald Trump has insisted Iran must “open up the Strait of Trump” and complained about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize in a meandering speech at the Future Investment Initiative Institute summit in Miami, Florida.
They opened it to Spain.
America is not a credible nation anymore.
…and maybe it never was.
There’s nothing to “negotiate” Donald. You leave and pay repairations to Iran for an unprovoked attack. That’s it.
Wonder how it feels not having the cards. Did he even say thank you for the shops Iran let through?
“Have you said thank you once?”
Oh I’m sure they’ll respond to completely idle threats this time. That’s definitely going to work no doubt.
How does he manage to keep out doing himself like this? You think he’s hit peak stupidity, and then he just out trumps himself. I don’t think the world can survive another 3 years of this lunatic.
The Strait of Hormuz is nothing like Trump. It’s a sphincter that can be opened and closed. Trump: always open.
The note at the end of the article doesn’t get enough discussion: a cnn poll showing 100% of MAGA people polled approve of Trump. Including people outside of MAGA, he’s got the worst approval rating ever. But MAGA is all that matters to the administration, they view the rest as terrorists/enemies anyhow – just like how they view other western democracies as enemies these days. CNN may as well say that his approval rating is negative in the IRGC, for all the administration cares.
“We’re negotiating now, and it’d be great if we could do something, but they have to open it up. They have to open up the Strait of Trump — I mean, Hormuz. Excuse me, I’m so sorry, such a terrible mistake,” Trump said.
“The fake news will say he accidentally said — there’s no accidents with me, not too many. If there were, we’d have a major story,” he added.
“If I don’t get the Nobel Prize for peace, nobody will ever get it. I didn’t get it. I’m not surprised. The person that got it was shocked — she’s a wonderful woman too, by the way,” he said.
This is completely incongruent with reality. Trump has lived his hyper-privileged life speaking the things he wants into existence, and that privilege has now reached its limit.
These are not the words of a sane person.
Oh my god he actually called it the Straight of Trump.
“There no accidents with me…” …check his pants… “not too many”
It was deliberate, not an accident.
Wow, he’s just so subtle
When trump say that bullshit everybody rightfully call it bullshit but when an europeen country say the same bullshit people celebrate it
The president again boasted he has “stopped eight wars”
It doesn’t really count if you were the one who didn’t start those eight wars.
Personally, I’ve prevented nine cases of underage drinking this week.
I’ve been preventing a multi-state bank robbery spree, basically, since I woke up this morning.
I successfully prevented several dozen indecent exposure incidents this morning when I put on pants
This is so pathetic. What an embarrassment.
Trump will be remembered for his many crimes and ethical bankruptcy. Inevitably after he’s gone, there will be no incentive to cover for him, and the incentive will be to blame him for the terrible state in which he will leave the US economy and international relations.
Anyone with a pulse knows that he is a child rapist. Anyone with above-room-temperature IQ knows that he was deeply involved in Epstein’s operation, acquiring, grooming, and warehousing girls. Any genuine investigation will produce evidence of that.
He’s also single-handedly destabilised the global economy. The trillions of dollars his dumb ideas have cost everyone in productivity are just breathtaking.
Operation Epstein Fury is probably the USA’s biggest and most costly unforced strategic error in history. The consequences will resound through the coming decades.
The culmination of this context is that he has accelerated China’s rise to dominance and the USA’s collapse into irrelevance. As an Australian, just 2 years ago I was keen for us to cosy up to the US in the hope that the yanks would help us push back on China’s expansion of influence in the region. Honestly, now I feel more comfortable with China than I do with the US.
I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords.
It’s for sure the biggest unforced error in US history, we won’t be able to be sure until everything shakes out but attacking Iran might be the biggest mistake in the history of geopolitics
Amen to that!
It’s been really awesome having a demented old pedofile child murderer as the most powerful person in the world. Everyday I’m like I can’t wait to see how much worse it can get. We literally could have randomly picked any crackhead in America and they would have been a better president.
I hate it here.
What a fucking embarrassment.
That’s an understatement.
Yeah, being only incompetent would feel like a change for the better.
