Idiotam habemus - Trumpum the Bigly XXX - Trump thread #143

[Spandauer]

No grey smoke necessary.

First 100 days have come and gone. Vance has killed the Pope, Musk is melting away and Trump's tariffs are on a slow boat to China.

Coming soon... Bigly's Birthday Parade. What could possibly go wrong?

with the caveat that my Russian is very very very rusty

Luckily religion makes that unlikely. So I guess it has it's uses.

I wonder what an audit of historical empires would reveal in terms of religion ? Take the Romans (for example). famously not only tolerant, but almost eager for new Gods and Heroes.

"Please don't walk on the grass, Marine One might take your head off."

WTF

There really does need to be a 🤯 or a 😱 emoji on here.

Let's hope vaccination status doesn't become a thing for travelling again then.

WTAFityFityFityF?

Am I right that this means that clinically vulnerable pregnant women and children may now have to argue with their insurance provider to get the jab covered? Obviously not people like Trump who can just pay so aren’t bothered.
or does it mean it won’t be there at all?

Trump warns Putin he is "playing with fire"

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-is-playing-with-fire-trump-says-2025-05-27/

"What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire!," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Guess we'll be seeing the Kompromat tapes finally

He is admitting he has protected Putin all this time and that he has been played?

If that is true (and I see no reason to believe otherwise) then it could possibly by the most accurate thing Trump has said in a long while.

If Trump really does believe he has been played by Putin, then it's hard to imagine what form his vengeance might take. Although a lot depends on whether Trumps cronies are Putin puppets or not.

It's interesting to speculate what value a Donald Trump who is mad with Putin has to Putin.

Would sound better взятка instead of взнос

Спасибо, товарищ. 😀

😂

Probably boycotted elementary school as well.

Well a couple of them boycotted Weight Watchers, that's for sure!

PS I can't believe that picture is for real. Not that the picture isn't 'real', but that I doubt they can spell Harvard, let alone boycott.

@AcrossthePond55 they probably don’t even know where it is, I think it was definitely a joke

He is!

Trump back to claiming Canada will pay for the Golden Dome, and again promising to make it free as a "cherished 51st state".

Impressed with King Charles III’s speech yesterday. Though to be fair, the UK has long had a better relationship with Canada than the USA!

Could probably bankrupt the manufacturers of Ozempic, if it was used as an advert

(Who remembers the Jasper Carrot skit around local cinema ads ? "Own an Indian restaurant ? Want to put your rivals out of business ? Why not advertise their restaurants here ?" played over a generic slide show of flock wallpaper. I guess you have to be a certain age of Brit 😁)

Now I have the Pearl & Dean theme tune as an earworm.

'cherished'? That man wouldn't know the meaning of 'cherish' if it jumped up and bit him in the arse.

His overuse of adjectives with the intention to impress/convince his audience is really starting to bug me.

I am announcing that I have signed (with my Sharpie)an Executive Order enacting an eleventy-billion percent tariff on adjectives on all orange buffoons. We'll call it the 'big, beautiful, cherished STFU Trump tariff'.

Just leaving this here, because it made me laugh this morning, though true or not, it really isn’t funny at all.

You know what I am talking about 🍿

(This must look like ancient Greek to our poor rebel cousins 😎)
