So, now we know what was really bothering the Orange POS during the G7 meeting. LOL! The mofo dozed off during the waste of time and money.

He's not happy they smiled and waved at the people they signed away their lives to protect.
This Presidential outburst is brought to you by:
Coinbase
Trump Mobile would have been a better sponsor
They won't be able to afford advertising if they have as many customers as turned up for this ridiculous birthday parade. Unless Putin and people like that become customers again.
If not, the US president will be their only advertising medium - that guy won't stoop too low.
And only $46 million down the drain
What's that really though - golf trip security and accommodation costs alone for Trump in just his second term thus far have already cost around that. For which he insists the secret service and other support staff use his own golf courses and hotels so that he literally gets paid handsomly to golf & stay at his own resorts (breaking the emoluments clause of the Constitution in the process).
At least none of that $46mil went to Trump & co and the whole affair embarrassed him by the poor turnout and mediocre parade. Money well spent it was not, but at least he hated it.
What’s that really though -
I dunno, maybe healthcare for hundreds of thousands of people for a year?
He also systematically overcharges for Secret Service accomodations as well, including golf cart rentals for following him around.
He actually makes profit on his security detail. Welcome to the United States of Ferengenar.
It’s massively wasteful and corrupt spending, is what it is.
If we took this combined ~80mil and thoughtfully spent it on affordable housing, we could quite possibly eliminate homelessness in the US. This would have a profound impact on people’s perceived quality of life in this country, as well as put in motion economic gains from the ground up. It could have been a massive W across the board, aka good leadership and responsible stewardship.
"He’s p---ed off at the soldiers,” Wolff said. “He’s accusing them of hamming it up, and by that, he seems to mean that they were having a good time, that they were waving, that they were enjoying themselves and showing a convivial face rather than a military face.”
The Disaster in Chief doesn't even know what the fuck "hamming it up" means. 🤦♂️
...because he's a dictator

Precisely this. He didn't want a happy birthday parade, he wanted an "all this equipment can be used to kill you, no matter who or where" parade. He truly believes that all the military can and should be good for is death and misery and harming the people he thinks need to hurt. In his brain, they're his personal faceless, nameless drones to inflict violence. He's been using ICE for this, but ICE doesn't make him look like his cool dictator friends in the way that rolling a column of Abrams down Mulholland Drive would.
Amazing, came to the comments to see if anyone pointed this out and it's not even a parent comment.
I find this scary not funny.
Dictators always blame others for their failings.
But hegseth is a failure too.
It's so lovely to hear that he's unhappy!
Hopefully it really hurts his fee-fees that he's despised by anyone with a remotely functioning brain
Unfortunately that would take logic. But we'll enjoy his manbaby rage at Drinky Pete anwyay.
Imagine being one of those in his circle, waiting for the dictatorship to become real, and facing summary execution if the Tangerine Toddler decides to throw a tantrum...
No one likes you bitch! That's why no one showed up to your backwoods shin-dig. You're a huuuuge orange joke. The likes of which the world has never seen before.
This is what you get when your hiring criteria is who is the best ass kisser.
Goose stepping is actually incredibly difficult and has no military value
I think he somehow associates their behavior with a lack of discipline. He expected coordinated … 🪿 stepping and unwavering devotion to their CiC who has zero respect for them or something? I can’t wrap my head around whatever circles of logic he tries to use
I'm going to say I 100% agree with you. The lunatic wants North Korean style marches and is angry that's not happening.
But I also want to say, what clips I've seen holy crap their marching was abysmal, like I've seen Civil Air Patrol flights with better marching. I'm not military so I can only talk so much, when listening to vets, their comments are along the lines of the people in the parade basically doing a shitty job because "Mandatory Fun Day" as apparently it's called.
Frankly I think that's funny myself.
as a tangent we really need to take journalists aside and talk to them about the phrases they're coining to avoid repeating themselves every time they need to describe "talking shit" or "yell at" in an article title.
As always, journalists write articles, and their editors select the title.
I automatically down vote all posts with "slam" and "blast" in the headline. Doesn't matter what the actual news is
That shit needs to stop
Trump SLAMS Pelosi in the broom closet 3 times a week.
So, that doesn’t do anything to the journalist or reporting entity. It just makes news less visible here because you are annoyed at a word choice.
Perhaps you could contact the publisher or writer and let them know you are unhappy instead?
Don't downvote news on distribution or aggregate sites, contact the publishers directly.
It's pride month. They can have a little extra entendre, as a treat.
Half of it is still about oil. Saudi Arabia has mass amounts of oil and fewer people. Iran has more people and a decent (but less) amount of oil. For years Iran has been trying to sell off their oil at cheaper prices in mass to force money into their economy. Some may argue it's to raise the quality of living for the people, others may argue it's because they believe the oil will do them no good 100 years from now so selling it all off and raking in what money they can now will only help them. Saudi Arabia has money, just doesn't distribute it evenly, and their profit margins would be hurt by prices being driven down. Other countries like the U.S. also would struggle to complete in selling oil at lower prices as our lifting costs are higher. So oil companies selling out of the US and around the world benefit greatly from Iran not selling off their oil at lower costs. (It's less than 1/2 to 1/3 the cost for Iran the lift the oil). So the U.S. stays friends with Saudi Arabia and tries to stop other countries from lowering their prices.

The Republican tradition of killing brown kids to keep rich old men wealthy
What is this a graph of? What do the different colours mean? What is the UK top in the world of? My maths teacher drilled into us that a bar chart has to have a title and a key and units. This graph has none of them!
The lifting costs by country (US dollar/barrel). The UK has the highest lifting costs, therefore must sell oil at the lowest profit margins if they sell at a global price match. The lower the lifting costs, the higher margin for profit.
Nah made sense to ask, I cropped it like shit so it didn't have other phone screen on it, should have done better.
Basic premise though was crude oil sells at $75 per barrell, the US averaged 4.5 million Barrells a day in 2024 (exports). If the cost per barrel dropped to $65 a barrell that's a $16.5 billion dollars lost per year. That's 66x the amount of money Elon spent to assist Trump in winning the election.
So it makes sense to pay millions or a few hundred million from oil executives to ensure oil prices stay where they are.
that they were enjoying themselves and showing a convivial face rather than a military face.
If he didn't want soldiers that were excited to be there, then why did he have them screened for political association to make sure they were his supporters?
Wait he did that? Wtf
In addition to screening for BMI, yes.
Do you have a source for this? I saw that he screened the soldiers at his fort bragg speech like this but haven’t seen reports that parade soldiers were screened similarly.
I wonder what Kim Jong Un’s reaction was when he saw the photos of Trumps dinky little parade
Hegseth, you royally fucked it up. Leaking classified military in a Signal group chat? Excusable. A White Supremacist? Excusable. Drunken paranoia? Excusable. HOW DARE YOU FUCK UP THE PARADE!? Pack your shit up and go back to Fox News.
HAHAHAHAHA what a fucking toddler. Did they not have enough plain cheese pizza with ketchup for your bday party, you pathetic attention-hungry piece of shit
He didn't want PIZZA! He wanted FRENCH FRIES from MCDONALDS!!! He wanted RONALD to personally cut his burger up for him because it's EMBARRASSING when his MOM does it! He wanted to use the SLIDE but he POOPED on it before he made it to the bottom and that's SOMEONE ELSE'S fault!!!
Guess he'll be trying to outlaw smiling and looking happy now
He’s trying to be a dictator damn it! Why won’t anyone take him seriously? Waaaaah
What a spoiled baby, whining about how his birthday party didn't live up to his dreams.
For Trump's next birthday, he will sell a parade of NFTs featuring lilly-white AI-generated military warriors with faces so hard it will make his pussy wet.
Add "cause and effect" to the list of things he does not grasp or pretends not to. There wasn't some time lord showing people the parade would be too festive. It's a decision made by birthday party attendees in advance which reflects poorly on his ego so it needs to be blamed on anybody but him.
