It doesn’t have any superlatives in it. The bigliest, bestest POTUS of ALL TIME never leaves those out 🤔

Too sensible, normal?

In Trump terms ofcourse

That post doesn’t quite read like usual Trump.
Can’t put my finger on it but it doesn’t.

Conspiracy time :-)

My money is on the lizard people illuminati who live in the hollow earth eating mushrooms hypnotized him.

Or Melania said " NO DONALD, no jiggy jiggy because you caused people to ignore my movie because of your stupid war".

Note how both of these involve at least one mushroom.

Iran says there is “no dialogue between Tehran and Washington”
By Mostafa Salem
Iran has denied any dialogue with Washington, dismissing President Donald Trump’s claims as an attempt to lower energy prices and buy time for military plans, several Iranian state-affiliated media outlets reported citing the foreign ministry.
There are “initiatives” from regional countries to “reduce tensions,” the foreign said, according to Mehr News. “Our response to all of them is clear: we are not the party that started this war, and all these requests should be referred to Washington.”"

At least one of them is lying and you’d have to think that Trump definitely is.

TACO chickening out after a deranged post and lying about take does seem like the most likely option I’d have thought.

Goodness me. Sky now:

"Donald Trump says talks between the US and Iran have been "very strong" and Iran "want very much to make a deal".

Speaking from Florida in the last few moments, Trump said there have been "major points of agreement" in the discussions involving US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, which he says have gone "perfectly".
Talks took place yesterday and went into the evening, he said.

"They (Iran) want very much to make a deal. We'd like to make a deal too. We're going to get together today, by probably phone because it's very hard... for them to get out, I guess."

"Trump said he would see how the five-day pause in US strikes on Iranian power plants goes - adding that if there's no settlement, "we'd just keep bombing our little hearts out".

Trump also said the US spoke to Israel "a little while ago".
Asked if Israel would abide by any ceasefire agreement with Iran, Trump said: "I think Israel will be very happy with what we have. This will be peace for Israel. Long term peace, guaranteed peace if this happens."

"We are very willing to make a deal," Trump insisted.

"It's got to be a good deal. And it's got to be no more wars, no more nuclear weapons. [Iran are] not going to have nuclear weapons anymore. They're agreeing to that."

"we'd just keep bombing our little hearts out"

Stop putting me off mushrooms. They're my favourite food.

I wish his rotting rancid revolting heart would 'bomb out'.

AcrossthePond55 · 23/03/2026 14:24

@SerendipityJane

I'm passing over the fact that if there wasn't a MAGA cult he never would have been re-elected in the first place.

If there wasn't a MAGA cult he would have been 25th'd months ago. I think the number of 'real' MAGAts in Congress is much less than appears. I think the majority of them are MINOs (MAGATs In Name Only) who know they'd be voted out if they don't toe the line. They prefer keeping their 'job' rather than saving the Country.

REP22 · 23/03/2026 14:25

"we'd just keep bombing our little hearts out" ?!

No, you complete nematode - you are bombing THEIR hearts out. Quite literally. Big ones and little ones.

And what about those 2,500 US combat soldiers and supporting ships and aircraft, dispatched from Japan, just days ago, or the other US Marine force of similar size recently departed from California? Are they part of "the deal"?!

We've got another three years of this kind of shitshow if no-one reigns in Trump and his foul adherents.

Edited

For the past few weeks, I've been catching MAGA pentiti on the odd commentary channel.

I can't recall any even vaguely contemplating undoing their damage.

These clips all start off which MAGAnauts whining (something they are expert at). Then they say how they wish they have never voted for Trump (yah-di-dah). But then they double down and say they won't do anything about it because everyone has been so mean to them.

It's clear that they are waiting for something from their Lord and Saviour - a sign, maybe - so that they can revert to their previous condition of unthinking loyalty. And yes that previous sentence makes better sense if you lose one word.

When you are truly repentant (so my Bible says) then you don't get to lay down the terms of your penance.

So multiple reports that ICE agents deployed to airports today are just standing around, aimlessly wandering around or chatting amongst themselves with nothing really to do and basically just adding to the congestion in the screening and departure areas. They are unmasked tho'.

No fecking clue. Just winging it.

COLLINS: Who's gonna be in control of the Strait of Hormuz? Who's gonna be in control of that?
^^
TRUMP: Uhhhh it'll be jointly controlled
^^
COLLINS: By who?
^^
TRUMP: Maybe me. Maybe me. Me and the next ayatollah, whoever that is. There will also be a serious form of regime change. Look at Venezuela.
