Who are they kidding? It's Oil, Oil, Oil, baby - Trump Thread #152

[Spandauer]

Back on US soil, an American citizen in a peaceful neighbourhood is gunned down by masked agents sent there to make people afraid.

Despicable, wretched people lying, lying, lying - all day, every day, about everything.

I believe his exact words were "I will institute the insurrection act".

He can't even get the wording of this threats right. What a maroon!

A total cult.

Is that a typo?

When you know, you know, you know?😉

Hours before Trump is due to meet María Corina Machado, the Nobel Peace Center restates:

"A medal can change owners, but the title of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate cannot."

Trump is taking Americans down a dangerously, isolationist path.

I'd forgotten about Fylingdales. You reckon he'll try to take Yorkshire by force at some point?

Haha

Trump now has the medal

They can't just walk in there and snatch Greenland, surely?! It's hardly like it's a threat to the US or antagonistic

He could not be so dumb as to accept it.

Everyone involved should be embarrassed.

Pathetic.

Now we know where Trump's obsession with Greenland started.

It's non transferrable so just a gesture.

It's a win win for her.

Perfect. Just enough time now to design a uniform for the Best Leader the Free World Has Ever Known. Lots of gold, please, no hat - my hair. It's my own hair, the Best Hair, everyone says so - and room to pin my medals. People love me. They just give them to meq. You can get that when you're president, they just let you take them . . .

"I grab them by the medals and they just give them to me..."

Wouldn't you just love to know what she says about him in private?

I''m sure his deluded brain thinks she gave it to him because he 'deserved it more than she did'.

And if she thinks the gesture will gain her anything, she's got another think coming. To him it's nothing more than giving it to the 'rightful' recipient.

I follow Chinese State media ( State media being the CPC propaganda wing of course), and they are lapping it up. Especially the Greenland stuff. I don't follow Russian Propaganda, but I just had a look and barely a mention of Greenland on there.

Trump is just a massive gift to the CPC. The guy just has no idea. He has totally binned any moral authority the US might have had, and he could not be doing more for the CPC is he was a paid employee.

Will Europe compromise? The whole world is watching: Global Times editorial - Global Times

Wow she has no dignity

I would live to hear how this is viewed in Venezuela

I suspect there's a lot about her that's not ideal - she's pretty far right, if I'm understanding correctly, but I can see in her shoes if she thinks she can play him to get the Maduro regime out and her party in, it's worth it. A lot rides on making this some kind of real transition. She has to know it's a gamble there will actually be follow through from him.

And in the meantime, he put the money from the first oil sale into that Qatari account he opened, so he has his own personal slush fund and can bypass congress completely. He's unbelievable.
