Oh! Be still my beating heart!

Has Trump received the Nobel Peace Prize?

He's a despicable traitorous piece of excrement who doesn't deserve to be on the same planet as Zelenskyy.
Fuck me Europe is going to be tested now.

I'm confused about lightbulbs now. In what way are LEDs inferior to incandescent bulbs? CFLs were crap, sure - but I don't think you can even buy them anymore? LEDs are superior in pretty much every conceivable way, I can't think of a single reason to go back to incandescent bulbs.

Trump has no redeeming qualities. He is a malignant pustule

Can the other NATO members vote to kick the US out?! I mean if they’re just going to wonder about unilaterally handing bits of other countries to Russia…

After all, with friends like that, who needs enemies?

So will Trumps plan be to say to Ukraine 'just give the land to Russia that they've taken and that'll be the end of it?' 😳

Was he like this last time? Just thinking he was World King (where have we heard that before?) just thinking he can literally do anything at all he likes! I'm not sure I remember him being this nuts?

Leavitt: "The president feels it would be much better and more majestic if these Palestinians could be moved to safer areas."

Snap!

She’s as fucking moronic as he is. The smirk she constantly has on during these briefings just screams we’re lying to you all and we know you know.

I'm answering with my immediate random response - and what if the EU were to join with China against Putin and Trump? Where would that lead the world? Would it even be a possibility?
(Excuse my ignorance.)

Compare and contrast.

One of Elons sons yesterday, XEax l5 or something, telling someone to shut their mouth. Trump?

So Trump is on a determined path to World Domination by Trump and MAGA and no-one else in the world will attempt to stop him? WTAF?

Been trying (very much unsuccessfully) for the last hour or so to try and think of any way the rest of the world could do anything that would make Trump give a fuck.

Anyone?

But why is everyone seemingly lying down and accepting this rubbish? He is not the World Ruler, why are people allowing him to get away with it? Just say no, in the immortal words of Nancy Reagan. Bring back Donald Rumsfeld. Known unknown indeed.

Are they going to utter what the replacement strategic thinking is going to be ?

I'm sure non US resident Trump supporters are still thinking he's good for the rest of the world though.

Yes this is what I'd like to know too @Jaichangecentfoisdenom.

I mean, in my more positive fantasy moments, the rest of the world are quietly chatting among themselves to work out a plan. But not that hopeful.

All the people who could stick it to Trump our probably part of the new strategic reality. China, Russia etc.

I was thinking, along the line of Greenland becoming Red, White and Blue Land, the new name for Gaza. I feel like that Trump could easily decide on Lebensraum.

I'm not especially impressed by Deborah Haynes on Sky News practically implying that geographical Europe just couldn't be arsed to spend more money on defence. Although maybe I'm ignorant and we could easily find the money if we just tried a bit harder?:-

Take your child to work During ay - 365 days a year.
Musk probably lets him press the buttons to delete people's accounts/funds. Toddlers like pressing buttons.

He’s probably read that carting a child around makes him look like a human.

I wonder where the mother is in all this

Trump is going to get sick of this soon surely.? Does he even like his own kids , apart from the one he fancies 🤮🤮🤮🤮

If Puin and Trump both want to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine (let's call it what it is), it would have been a very quick conversation. Putin can leave anytime he wants.

This is now America turning tail, writing cheques it can't cash and breaking its promises. This is America turning it's back on the free world and losing every bit of trust and goodwill it's ever had.
