Strong leadership really can prevent wars... but shitting your pants on camera, double tapping a school full of little girls, shitting your pants on camera, starting a pointless war because someone from another country told you to, being unable to read from a teleprompter, shitting your pants on camera, getting publicly embarrassed over and over by the country you attacked, falling asleep on camera constantly, shitting your pants on camera, demolishing a third of your own Presidential Palace so it's a gaping hole in the ground, and shitting your pants on camera aren't signs of a strong leader.

    Strong leadership really can prevent wars…

    Idk what "strong" leadership is supposed to mean in this context. Because, in the American context, strength is directly correlated with a leader's willingness to inflict unimaginable pain and suffering on one's domestic and global opposition.

    shitting your pants on camera, double tapping a school full of little girls, shitting your pants on camera, starting a pointless war...

    Terror campaigns have a long and historically effective track record. Whether or not you're cotenant when you press the big red button hardly matters.

    The problem with fascist governments is that they're very good at extracting enormous amounts of wealth from vulnerable people. So they produce a vicious cycle of assault, extraction, re-arming, renewed assault. Liberals heckling from the sides with "Haha, he poopie his panties!" doesn't change any of that.

    Trump's allies are gaining wealth, sovereign territory, and an expanded role in the state bureaucracy. I don't see anyone willing to acknowledge that. And so, once he's scattered his fascist seeds, I question whether anyone will remember to pull them back out again before the next harvest.

    I do not believe that Trump ever said that quote. I mean three correct coherent sentences without any insults and rambling in it? Come on...

    Huh? Oh, MAGAts don't care about that any more. Now they want to invade fucking Greenland for some goddamn reason.

    If the rest of the world continues to catch on fire, Greenland might end up with a wonderful climate and be a great place for billionaires to develop.

    Give it ~80 years and America's puddle of radioactive diesel, sewage, asbestos and heavy water left over from an illegally built nuclear powered missile silo under the glacier will be exposed, they won't want it then.

    Insane for a moment the damage this guy has done to millions of republicans.

    I'll never take any of them seriously ever again. A few dumb members of my family are now a joke to me... Like this is the dumbest thing they've ever supported.

    There's no coming back from this.

    Expand your view. Trumps actions damages the entierty of the US on a global scale. That's damage that cannot be undone.

    Everyone in Europe that previously used US services and products are now looking elsewhere. Including weapons manufacturing

    No one can trust the US for anything that spans longer than 4 years.

    The real damage of Trumps presidency isn't going to be seen in the US for another 10 years.

    None of the ones that matter. They all got an order of magnitude richer.

    Like this is the dumbest thing they’ve ever supported.

    American fascists wanted to inflict horrifying torture and abuse on the rest of the world. They got exactly what they asked for and they are exceedingly happy about it. When Trump is gone, they'll demand Trump 2. Just like when they all lined up to morn Ronald Reagan and promised to bring about his Second Coming.

    I know, but being in a minority doesn't make me any less right.

    Guy who is constantly lying: "Series of Lies!"

    Me, a fact-checker: "I'm going to use AI to debunk these lies in meme format".
