Every day waking up to yet another insane declaration from Trump. America is losing the respect of the world

It's like a parallel universe - how did America come to this? So now he plans to ethnically cleanse Gaza we are told - to create the 'Riviera of the Middle East.' A golf course and hotels probably. The £2 million people can just go wherever. Wtf! AIBU to think America is imploding in on itself?

I’m waiting for him to suggest that the population of England should be relocated to the Australian outback so that he can turn It into a giant golf course.

😆Tbh I think we might be next on the hit list, feels like he is softening us up for something

In Trump's head, the rest of the world is just a giant playgroup for rich Americans

We knew he was going to be like this. He knows most of it won’t happen. It’s to wind up the liberals and rev up his supporters. The best thing we could all do is pay him no attention. I know it’s difficult when it’s all over the media but you don’t have to read the detail. Catch a headline, roll your eyes, get on with your life. You’ll feel better for it.

'Be quiet, dear'. No.

Have you read how Elon Musk has moved some of his (young) employees into Govt offices?

He's getting into their systems and replacing their code.

There is no knowing what he's accessing and what he's going to change

That's even more terrifying

In his press briefing with Netanyahu even Netanyahu himself was looking bemused. He’s a live narcissist, the real thing, and he’s terrifying.

Even he doesn’t believe this shit. He just likes us all to be frothing at him.

I am not saying he’s harmless; I think he is capable of triggering great harm in this world, but he does not follow through with a lot of his verbal diarrhea

Exactly. The fuckwits voted for him knowing what he was like.

I’m American and I spend a lot of time depressed these days. Last night I just started laughing. Picturing a Trump casino on the Gaza Strip is just ludicrous. I know it’s offensive and awful, but I also don’t believe for a moment that it is going to happen.

im pretty sure he did just lose every last slim thread of credibility he had in the world stage. I have no idea what that means for our country our the planet.

The amount of media time given to his incoherent ramblings is insane. How did America come to this?

I’m sick to the back teeth of our media giving so much time and space to this deluded demented megalomaniac. Has the world ever seen a more frighteningly ignorant “leader”? His sole aim seems to be to shit stir and meddle in every other country’s business. Someone needs to tell him to STFU immediately.

It's Trump's bizarre Manifest Destiny.
He keeps declaring Canada would be better off as a US state. Greenland. Panama. Now talking about Gaza.
The US could have stopped him. The Republicans successfully mounted a campaign to paint Biden as incompetent, and in mental decline fgs. It is believed within the Democrat's' party. Meanwhile, megalomaniac Trump, also old, was built up as a saviour for the American people. I think being on the outside it's easier to see the dystopia created there.
