The King of Crazytown Can't Control The Chaos - Trump Thread #159

Spandauer · 31/03/2026 17:54

“Whether you’re a military analyst or a political analyst, whether you’re in the Democratic or Republican party, there’s a reality here. Donald Trump has met the moment of truth. The kind of fictional life that he’s led and evoked over the last four or five decades has now been unmasked as a deadly drama. It’s going to cost the lives of so many people. It’s going to devastate the US economy and the regional economy. It’s going to set back America and its standing in the world. It’s a horrific moment.”
Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota.

Heaven Obi-Wan Kenobi help us. You're our only hope.

That person deserves a medal!

Thanks for the link @DuncinToffee
One of the comments made me look for this article about the writer of The Art of the Deal. (Tony Schwartz helped create that myth—and regrets it.) Eye opening!

Meanwhile, we can have nice things. It's telling that Trumpian social media seems so last year compared with this unflashy by message-hammering offering.

Today's schedule.
More incoming batshittery at 1pm?

Why is he starting a press conference at the same time as NASA are starting their live Moon flyby feed?

No. I've discounted anything prurient. After all, it's clear most Americans are very comfortable with a predatory paedophile as President. So whatever is being held over him won't be that.

So with the cannibalism, snuff videos, child sexual abuse and other depravities, you're suggesting most Americans are happy with that?

So called country of the free world.

So far two British people have been ticked off - Andrew M Windsor and the imprisoned Ghislaine Maxwell.

Trump did say he could shoot someone and still be potus. He clearly enjoys depravity and gets a kick out of it. Disgusting pervert.

Well certainly not so unhappy that they did 't vote for Trump. And that was all it took.

So, today's presser is supposedly so he can tell the tale of the daring rescue of the airman who was shot down in Iran in his own inimitable style. He's probably having aides busily looking up adjectives and superlatives since I doubt he knows how to use a dictionary.

(If I'm repeating info, remember that I'm 8 hours behind you and just woke up lol

I have cut and saved that "we won" list if ok. For reference :-)

I just noticed a prolific pro war poster has modified slightly. Now pro peace deal... sort of. But same poster has also gone from "everything THEY do is a war crime to possible war crime on one thread. While on another other, it's still the former position.

I wonder how he will handle all the new details that have come out since his long "TRUTH". The details he omitted.

It's great they got the pilots by the way.

I'm not holding my breath for the 25th, but right now it seems the only way to resolve the war is to cart off the big orange loon and put the adults in charge.

The damage he's done since being let loose in the White House is incalculable and probably irrecoverable.

I'm not either. It's never been used to actually remove a POTUS from office (Sec 4), just for temporary transfer of powers (Sec 3) during medical care.

Hey, that's it!!!! Scrotus always likes to brag that 'no other POTUS has ever done what I just did'. Soooo maybe we should suggest it to him. He's so stupid he'd probably agree just so he could say "No one has ever been 25th'd the way I've been 25th'd!!"

C'mon JD. You know you want to do it!

@newseye.bsky.social
A Reddit user has meticulously kept a diary of Trump’s daily victory claims. It should form part of every historical archive on the planet. Brace yourself, here goes 🧵👇

Mar 3: "We won the war”
Mar 7: "We defeated Iran”
Mar 9: "We must attack Iran”
Mar 10: "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully”
Mar 11: “You never like to say too early you won. We won. In the first hour it was over”
Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet”
Mar 13: "We won the war."
Mar 14: "Please help us."
Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it."
Mar 16: "Actually, we don't need any help at all."
Mar 16: "I was just testing to see who's listening to me."
Mar 16: "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad."
Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help”
Mar 17: "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO”
Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz”
Mar 19: "US allies need to get a grip - step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz”
Mar 20: "NATO are cowards."
Mar 21: "The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don't use it, we don't need to open it."
Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait"
Mar 22: "Iran is Dead"
Mar 23: "We had very good and productive talks with Iran."
Mar 24: "We’re making progress."
Mar 25: “They gave us a present and the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.”
Mar 26: "Make a deal, or we’ll just keep blowing them away."
Mar 27: "We don’t have to be there for NATO."
Mar 29: Claimed talks were progressing
Mar 30: "Open the Strait of Hormuz immediately, or face devastating consequences."
Mar 31: Claimed a deal was "very close" and that Iran would "do the right thing" Apr 1: "We’ll see what happens very soon."
Apr 2: Repeated that a deal was likely, while warning of continued strikes if not. Apr 3: "Something big is going to happen."
Apr 4: Said Iran must comply "immediately" or face further consequences.
Apr 5: "Open the fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah." ENDS

I feel like that person deserves a spa day

Yup. That's mentioned above. From when Harris had the power when Biden was under a general.

It should be considered. A nasty bone spur flare up should do it.

I don't know if you have the time, but I really liked this interview with Morris Katz (Mamdani's media strategist) I thought he had some interesting things to say about the Democratic party in general, but one of the things he said about Mamdani that stuck with me was something like, (paraphrasing) when you step away from the issue of ideology, he basically just believes in creating functional government.

s

The 311 thing gave me a laugh. I remember when Bloomberg started it. I had no idea it was still up and running.

Have seen some suggestions that the Whitehouse "bunker" is a hospital ....

Even more interesting is that the old PEOS bunker was destroyed/dismantled when they bulldozed the East Wing and is currently being reconstructed to modern security specification. If we're lucky maybe they'll include a rubber room.

The PEOS systems and security have apparently been temporarily relocated and are operational. And I'm sure they've found a little hidey-hole for Scrotus to scuttle into should some big bad protesters once again 'threaten' him with placards.

logicisall · 06/04/2026 16:17

It's great they got the pilots by the way.

I'll be lying if I said that a tiny piece of me I didn't want the Iranians to capture one of the 'warfighters', give them medical care and then magnanimously return them. 😈 In the spirit of Islam, Inshallah.
#high_road

walllaw · 06/04/2026 16:19

Best thing to do with a bunker is concrete it over after the 'really important people' have gone down there. Safest thing for them, and you can spray paint the concrete gold.

Yup. And at the moment there is no peace deal to talk about. Just speculation. So I don't see the point. Just to be enraged at Iran's "demands" so far as I can see.

Kamala was the 1st woman to be handed the 'powers of the Office'. But Sec 3 was also used by Reagan and twice by GW Bush.

"I want the oil but they won't let me"
