He Has No Deal, He Has No Dice - Trump Thread #162

[Spandauer]

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

eta: in my haste I think I've numbered the thread incorrectly! Oh well.

Hmmmm, I wonder if denying papal infallibility is grounds for excommunication?

More from Trump

Israel 'PROHIBITED' by the US from bombing Lebanon, Trump says

A half hour after posting that the US naval blockade on Iran was still in effect, Donald Trump posted that “Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer”.

“They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!! Thank you!” the US president wrote.

.

The HoS may be open, but now the Iranians have experienced the trump (no pun intended) card they hold, free passage is no longer guaranteed.

Netanyahu thinks otherwise it seems

Netanyahu: We are not done yet with Hezbollah

“The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear ‘Dust,’ created by our great B2 Bombers - No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form,”

?

Trump: "Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help. I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL. They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger! President DJT"

The Guardian used the term "popesplaining"

You missed the opportunity to change that to Duke of Pork

Fuck.
Right.
Off.

The Pope is only considered infallible if he is speaking ex cathedra. That happens very rarely.

I think Vance needs to be (more) roundly mocked for claiming more knowledge of Catholic theology than the actual Pope, however.

Anything to add to this?

Trump: "The Failing NYT, FAKE NEWS CNN, & others, just don’t know what to do. They are desperately looking for a reason to criticize President Donald Trump on the Iran situation, but just can’t find it. Why don’t they just say, JOB WELL DONE, MR. PRESIDENT, & start to gain back their credibility???"

The Iranians and Trump have quite different viewpoints on the opening of the straits

Trump thinks is 4 eva while the Iranians say its for the cease fire.

Why would anyone thank him for starting a war. He’s a fucking moron.

Irony is so dead it's possible it might never be found again.

Today is Friday. The real stuff will happen after markets close.

USIP! Oxymoron.

By order of the Peaky Blinders.

Hang on: I thought it was the Andrew who used to be Prince who was the Duke of York. Have I got Epstein's buddies mixed up?

We-e-e-e-e-e-lllllllllll

Trump seems to be strong on pardoning people......

Yeah, sure, of course they called him 🤣

Ahh. That pesky CNN throwing a spanner in the works. This is how it works now aint it? Shoot the messenger ?

"Iran will close Strait if US naval blockade continues, state media reports
By Mitchell McCluskey
If the US continues its naval blockade, Iran will consider it a ceasefire violation and close the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian state media Fars reported on Friday.
Citing a “well-informed source close to the Supreme National Security Council,” Fars reported that the reopening of the strait “depends on the implementation of certain conditions and the ceasefire in Lebanon.”
The source said commercial vessels passing through the Strait must sail through the route designated by Iran and coordinate with Iranian forces.
Earlier on Friday, President Donald Trump announced that the Strait of Hormuz was “completely open” but that the blockade of Iranian ports would remain in place."

He does realise that NATO isn't just a chap in a suit and tie who works in an office in Spitzbergen?

Lol, there's a lot he doesn't realise...

Off subject sorry. If it's all sorted subject to the usual, does that mean Starmer can come back and deal with the Mandelson thing ?

So it's open but it's not open. It's a bit open and a bit closed.

Mr Nat O'Nato called him and with tears in his eyes (video call...) said "Sir, please let us help".

And I'm the fecking Queen of Sheba.
