Schrödinger's Strait - Trump Thread #162A

The Strait of Schrödinger remains open and closed, safe and dangerous, insurable and uninsurable, blockaded and free.

"You put your tanker in, you put your tanker out
In, out, in, out, you sail it all about
You do the Straits of Hormuz and you turn around
That’s what it’s all about!"

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Got overwhelmed by the 🍊💩's idiot fuckery last time and missed out thread #161 so have designated this one as fake #162...A

He probably meant one of the two pictures to have a huge crowd in it, but accidentally put the same picture twice with slightly different colour saturation on one of the copies.

Now we have proof that Trump is God because he ordered the clouds to form in exactly the same way as they had for Obama's photo.

TemporarilyCantDoMyself · 25/04/2026 18:35

He's a frustrated artist. He's speaking in metaphors and images. Like Hitler. If he'd only been successful as some kind of artist he wouldn't need to be doing this.
The world has pissed on his vision and he can't stand it.

Spandauer · 25/04/2026 18:03

On further investigation, I think he's had the pond cleaned.

Yes, but look at the clouds: the two are the same picture.

They've painted the fucker bottom blue!!

RT @realDonaldTrump This is the Reflecting Pool at The Lincoln Memorial. Two thousand five hundred feet, the length of the tallest Building in the World. Starting the final phase of Renovation that was supposed to cost 301 Million Dollars, and take three year.
(2/3) and was instead done, with the help of Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, and his entire Department, and a much better final result – 2 Million Dollars in one week! I do many such things for Government and, as President, it is my Honor to do so. This is just one of
(3/3) them. Another, and one far more exciting, is Most Favored Nations for Prescription Drugs, where the United States paid the highest price in the World, and now they are paying the lowest, with a drop of 50, 60, 70, and even 80%! President DONALD J. TRUMP

What a huge effort and cost for such a meagre result.

Spandauer · 25/04/2026 19:23

Apparently it did need repairs as it was leaking but don't think that was Obama's fault!

In other news... KKK Leavitt has started her maternity leave. Oh, how we'll miss her.
Apparently there are rumours there will be a rotating group of 'guests' doing press briefings... JD even... (got to keep him busy)
But no definite details.

Is the new evil triumvirate in the WH regime, Trump, Kegsbreath and Cos? KKK Barbie is now listing herself as Admin, prepping for plausible deniability when it all goes wrong.

Bits from CNN
Trump
Over the weekend, the US and Iran appeared to be closing in on a deal to end the war. Trump then began posting about ongoing talks on social media and speaking to several reporters by phone Friday morning as Pakistani intermediaries updated him on ongoing talks with Iranian officials in Tehran.
Some Trump officials privately acknowledged to CNN that the president’s public commentary has been detrimental to talks, noting the sensitivity of the negotiations and the Iranians’ deep mistrust of the US.
Outcome - US withdraws from talks

Kegsbreath
In addition to insane Peace prize comment. US shouldn’t shoulder the burden of protecting the Strait of Hormuz. America “barely” uses the chokepoint and has ample energy supplies, while Europe and Asia should stop “free-riding” and take a larger role.
Outcome - Confirms that he's really a DUI hire, as a wag on sm called it.

Cos
As undersecretary of the Navy, Hung Cao, a retired Navy captain and former Republican Senate candidate in Virginia, was supposed to have a broad portfolio...
But in reality, Cao was often cut out of decision-making by his boss, Navy Secretary John Phelan, one source familiar with the situation told CNN, who said Phelan put Cao “in a box”
Cao was isolated from Navy decision making and wasn’t allowed to represent Phelan in official meetings that Phelan didn’t attend, something a typical undersecretary would do, the source said.
After promotion, he's pledged total loyalty to Trump.
Expected outcome - will feel the need to prove himself in the Acting naval role, so more 'alpha', hawkish rhetoric and actions expected.

The world waits with bated breath for the next unexpected, yet expected, play.

I've discovered the problem. It's men. If women were negotiating a settlement it would be done and dusted by tea time. I'm guessing Iran doesn't have female politicians? Much like the Trump cabinet 🙄

Hmmmm. I have been involved with all-women committees/organisations, and I am not at all sure I agree about that!

Though they would certainly agree to break for tea within a reasonable time, and probably accompany the tea with a better class of cake than men would.

No, me neither.

Super interesting that the wear pattern on the stones in front is identical and hasn't changed At All since 2017. Right down to the two little bits of black detritus laying on the stones.🤔

Anyone else getting quite stressed at the thought of what's going to happen? I'm mainly concerned about the economy, heating bills and petrol costs. I can weather the storm but my DS doesn't earn much and the daily commute is costing him a fortune because of that orange shit 💩💩💩💩

Opps just saw your post. 😂You said it better.

Also if it was so terrible under Obama, why didn't dump clean it up during his previous (very long) 4 year term.

Try and limit your news intake especially if you're prone to bouts of anxiety.
I've general anxiety disorder and was drawn in on when something news wise got the better of me at a bad time.
I over analysed everything and made myself really unwell

I've got GAD as well. You're right I need to step away from the news. I'm getting so angry at the sight of his moronic face. I hope King Charles puts the orange shit in his place.

As if!

Charles will not be doing anything like that, it will be a massive suck up

mantez · 25/04/2026 20:37

Trump the Lump is getting bored with Iran/SOH now. Needs something else immediately to keep him amused (sorry). So what will that be?

Yeah he wants this war over. But he's a malignant narcissist without a clue.🤷‍♀️

So this war will go on. And all the other wars will go on. Is there anything or anyone he hasn't declared a war on? Loads more people will suffer. Loads more people will die.

The light on the horizon is Trump will die. The sooner he does, the better the world will be.

As a normal human being, I hope Karoline has a healthy baby. Poor thing will have her as a mother.
I hope Leavitt gets dreadful late pregnancy haemorrhoids... She's been a pain in the ass so it seems only fitting

Anyone got Trump publically putting his foot in it re AMW during the Kings visit on the Bingo card? Along the lines of “me and your brother…”

TooBigForMyBoots · 25/04/2026 18:16

Trump's cancelled Witkoff and Kushner's trip to Pakistan claiming the USA holds all the cards.🙄

Groundhog day indeed.

I remember Michael Gove talking about cards at Brexit. Turned out we had jokers and Europe didn't bother playing.
