Old enough to remember whole years in which I barely thought about the American president.

Trump just now: "Iran wants to make a deal very badly."

The orange loon continues down his path of delusion.

Every accusation is a confession…

After two Venezuelan shadow fleet ships were seized and then we had the Russian ship incident in Scotland, I googled 'shadow fleet'. I was expecting ships painted in dark grey, all sorts of dodgy transponder shenanigans, spies etc and was then rather disappointed to learn it was more about sailing under other countries' flags to hide ownership. (I think)

PS I like a good spy thriller.

In February 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice announced seizures and criminal charges against individuals and entities linked to a billion-dollar trafficking network that had delivered illicit Iranian oil to foreign buyers using a series of front companies, tankers, and brokers.[11] Among the sanctioned facilitators was an Iranian-linked network operating through Turkey, the UAE, and Malaysia.[12]

It's hard to disagree with anyone who sips tea awaiting a fight.

You can't fault the tone of the tweets. How are the Iranians getting the wit so right!

How disappointing.

I recall first finding seaglass and thought it was so wonderful the sea made this beautiful stuff - then finding it was actually man made glass the sea tumbled and not something the sea produced itself via shells or salt or something- that was disappointing to me - this was only 2 years ago - and may also shed light on my stupid questions on here 🙈

RafaistheKingofClay · 13/04/2026 18:10

The Iranian embassies have been on fire.

DuncinToffee · 13/04/2026 18:12

Q: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?

TRUMP: I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do Red Cross. Only the fake news could come up with that one.

😂sure donny

Clearly a miracle.

That is a good question. Everything is so obliterated that still works... somehow.
Someone is lying here.

This one has to be the worst lie he has ever told. I can only assume that he really has managed to piss off his base and he’s having to do some damage limitation.

Terrribletwos · 13/04/2026 18:18

Is he going to claim it's a deep fake?

logicisall · 13/04/2026 18:21

It's the comedy hour in Trump land. But it did make me laugh😂
As a Christian, I should not be laughing at the sick or disabled.
I need to repent..but just not yet

Centuries of friendship with Britain ....

Terrribletwos · 13/04/2026 18:23

Could there actually be other powers moving against him now..as this latest sounds so incredulous?

MsJinks · 13/04/2026 18:25

Jesus Christ - did he actually say that! I haven’t been able to tell what’s real around him for a while but this level of toddler like crazy - I can’t even compute!

Yeah, it will make sense to have a shadow fleet in cases like this. So shipping oil for country B under country A, because country A is allowed through, which some bilateral deals had allowed, till now.
Now US is meant to control the traffic, it looks like neither country A or B will be able to ship much oil at all to their starving citizens. Have they stopped any ships yet? Sorry just out of work now.
These threads move fast!!! I cannot keep up!

Just reading the fresh news. Starmer seems to be more vocal this week.
UK disapproves of the blokade and hopes for continuation of the peace talks- fingers crossed. He backs up Lebanon being a part of the talks. He still considers the US a reliable ally... well, not me. US ok, but under Trump? I do not agree with our PM on that!

The below also reported in UK https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/13/israeli-forces-fire-teargas-at-schoolchildren-holding-west-bank-sit-in

Why would anyone block children's access to their school? Why? And tear gas? This madness knows no boundaries.
I do tend to quote the Guardian because it think it tends to wait till reports are verified. Though it is not my favourite free newspaper lately.

Israeli forces fire teargas at schoolchildren holding West Bank sit-in

Incident took place on first day back at school in small village, as settlers blocked pupils’ access

I think it is better for all of us if Trump does not know......
We would get endless number of Truth Social drama.
I have not seen the tweets, by the way. But I have seen most of the lego videos....

He is completely fucking mad.
It is terrifying.

His favourite EU leader - to perve over anyway - has said it’s unacceptable to criticise the Pope - he may finally be embarrassed of himself - probably not.

His porkies so remind me of my kids telling blatant lies about eating chocolate whilst it’s round their mouths - so childish - but when an adult stands by their lie it’s a difficult nut to crack - he needs sending to his room forever - actually my meltdown had enough response to kids occasionally - they are now out and living adult lives, if anyone is worried ha!

Terrribletwos · 13/04/2026 18:36

Why not post yourself as an actual doctor tho? The post doesn't do that.

LaverneBakerImtheonetodoitNSOUL · 13/04/2026 18:37

King Charles visit should be cancelled along with UK teams participation in the world cup

Terrribletwos · 13/04/2026 18:37

Unless, he is seeing something different?

Are they?
I know Khameine spent quite a bit of time in Europe during his exile from Iran, but I did not know that the newer generation of the Islamic Republic had been here?
Though, with the diplomats, quite likely they spent some time in the London Embassy. Though said Embassy was closed for a few years following some major security issues, in 2011. I would be surprised if they were educated here.

Terrribletwos · 13/04/2026 18:47

Well, Trump is completely off his rocker, is being manipulated, having deep fake posts made against him or all 3?

It is possible, I suppose, that other agents, knowing he is unstable, are exploiting this and " going for gold" and absolutely using this with AI etc.
