All he’s done is lie since he came down that escalator.

He really hates women

Trump calls for journalist Natasha Bertrand to be fired.

I think you mean, he hates women with brains who don’t suck up to him.

He’s so fragile right now. I do wonder if there’s ketchup up all of the White House dining room walls.

Fifa faces quandary over Iran at 2026 World Cup due to conflict with co-hosts US.

There are no provisions within Fifa’s regulations to prevent Iran from playing their group matches in the US, despite the country being subject to military action by the Trump administration and Iranian citizens being under a travel ban that prevents them from entering the country. The ban contains an exemption that could apply to players, staff or associated families with teams at the 2026 Fifa World Cup.

I’m sure they’ll find a way. Just today Trump was talking about the great relationship the US and Iran now have 🤨 of course I’m not sure the Iranians would feel the same…

I'm just surprised that Canada and Mexico aren't sitting at a table and divvying up the US based FIFA games or frantically trying to find another nation who can take some or all of them.

I have to say watching Trump engage with the Ukrainian BBC reporter about her family is the most human I’ve ever seen him. It’s the first time I can imagine what people are talking about who say he’s ‘moved’ by human suffering.

moved in the way that a candle is moved by every passing gust of air, and no-where near as moved as he is by praise adoration and stuffing his pockets full of $$$

I've just put the news on, first time since early morning. Is this the future then? The whole world tickles his tummy and colludes in his bizarre fantasies? Although I guess JD Vance would be out of the frying pan etc. Absolutely sickening. Someone's lost their mind. Maybe it's me, it's becoming hard to tell.

It's not you. It's like a collective brain fart.

I think it could get interesting.
Surely the civilized world leaders will collaborate to strategically manipulate trump who will find their attentions more flattering and compelling than those of the not very bright or skilled members of his own gvt.
He'll be putty in everyone's hands (silly putty of course).

What next? A squad of Norland Nannies, tasked with looking after Bigly's daily needs, incorporated into his next Tremendous Celebration of Something Very Important To Me parade? Exasperated 😡

Pilots on parade for the press?

Oh God, those poor, poor pilots. It's not like they're going to have the choice not to stand there and listen to his shit and in aviation/space parlance 'maintain an even strain'.

This morning I was greeted with the news that our absolute fav politician is calling his BFF, Bibi's corruption trial, a witch hunt. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Positive spin on 'daddy' episode. I'll buy it.

I thought Anthony Scaramucci’s take on their most recent TRIP US episode was interesting. Having worked closely with the Donald he suggests that he absolutely hates that level of grovelling and that he published Rutte’s comments in essence because he was laughing at him and trying to humiliate him. His view is you might get short term gain but long term he doesn’t respect you.

And I repeat, why do people take #47 seriously and believe him capable of logical thought (or any thought at all)? He is a very dangerous, self-centred, nit-wit with no coherent thought whatsoever, whose utterings should never have been taken seriously since he was proven (how many decades ago?) to be a failed businessman, not the spectacular success he pretended he was. I don’t get it, and never have.
I went looking for a list of Trump’s business failures (as if you needed a reminder) and amongst many options, particularly enjoyed this from Robert Reich:
I also liked this from a site I’ve never seen before, which apparently looks at things from a religious point of view (not MAGA religion, as far as I can tell):

It’s no wonder people manage to forget the horrors of Nazi Germany and prepare the ground for history to repeat itself, if they manage to put these far more recent events out of their minds completely with no judgement. (If you see what I mean?)

CNN has a good response to Trump's comments

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/26/politics/trump-iran-nuclear-program-damage

A more judicious initial White House response to the raids might have avoided the current controversy. But its frantic spin was inevitable, since Trump declared while B-2 bombers were still aloft that Saturday’s mission was a total, overwhelming success. Any contrary evidence would mean an embarrassing reversal and challenge his ego and credibility.

But the hyper-emotional response to honest questioning over whether Iran’s nuclear program has truly been wiped out makes the White House look defensive, raising doubts about its truthfulness. And it is distracting from aspects of the mission for which Trump can claim credit – a flawless round-the-world bombing raid with no US casualties and his effective pressure on Israel and Iran to stop fighting as well as his success in not being pulled into a longer war.

Contrary to what Hegseth claimed, it is not unpatriotic to report information confirmed by administration officials questioning the extent of the damage to Iran’s nuclear program. And no one is attacking the pilots of the B-2 bombers who undertook the hazardous multi-hour mission. The tone of media coverage of their efforts has been marked by marveling rather than criticism.

The issue is whether the bunker-busting bombs, used in action for the first time, really did penetrate the Fordow nuclear facility, buried under hundreds of feet of rock and cement, and destroy centrifuges that spin uranium. And it’s about whether Trump is truly fulfilling his duties as president if he ignores any evidence the objectives were not fully met.

I can't imagine how someone advises him - he does not seem like the kind of person who listens to advice or different opinions - and he does not seem like the kind of person who likes to be challenged and to be told he's wrong.

This yells for a YouTube episode. e.g. a take of Star Wars and them attacking something, coming back and the President saying it was a great success and then having a go at anyone who dared to suggest otherwise.

Actually it yells for a Downfall parody - with Hitler wanting to say that it was a complete success and someone saying "We don't actually know yet" - but I bet that would be controversial

I was listening to OneDecision this morning and Sir Richard was saying that the Israeli assessment is that the Fordow site has been taken out of action which is interesting because if anyone would want to lay the groundwork for further US military involvement it would be Netanyahu.

I’ve also seen a fair few analysts point out that the centrifuges, even if not physically blown up are so fragile that even vibrations can be enough to render them inoperable.

Ah, @cakeorwine,is that why Trump was raving at/about CNN yesterday (or was it the day before, I can’t keep up)? Someone actually logically analysing what he’s saying/doing and pointing out the lies flaws truthfully, no sycophancy. He can’t take it.

At the risk of lowering the tone:

This is a thread about Trump. It's not possible to lower the tone.
