So? What’s he going to tell the world?

Best guesses below unless you’re in the know.

Shark related. 🦈

I see this meme thing everywhere - what does it mean and where did it come from? I see it so often!

He's obsessed with sharks and mentions them in lots of his speeches. Who knows why. Might just be as a distraction!

He’s the greatest president ever.

Provide any actual evidence of this?

was it great when he refused to accept the outcome of a democratic election and incited a storming if public buildings? Is that the act of a considered statesman who puts the welfare of his country ahead of his own interests and ego?

is it great when he “forgets” statements he’s made on camera?

Is it great when an American president leads the rest of the world down a path where there is no truth, just celebrity/ reality style statements designed to provoke the response they need at a point in time.

Glad he’s floating your boat - to many of us, he’s utterly terrifying

It's Chicago I feel sorry for at the moment.

Him and JD are putting out a Christmas record.

Oh this would be amazing. JD could rap in part of it thanking various festive characters , Jesus , Santa, elves etc. The video could be home alone themed the one Trump was in as it’s quite festive. Putin can have some bells to jingle as he rides round on a horse bare chested with a Santa hat on. Elon can release his own single ‘X mas’ it’ll be a musical battle.

I think it's SO funny that when people were asked, "What was Trump going to say in his big announcement", and someone replies with the crap he always says, "He's the greatest President ever", that a few people are SO rude that they jump down the throat of the poster instead of understanding the definition of sarcasm. And that it was an answer to the question and nothing more.

I despair for the education system in the UK and USA if these are the "educated ones". People cannot even understand what an answer to a question entails.

Very sad, but not shocked.

No @FluffyWabbit

Anyway, everyone stand down. Excitement over

More from the Trump "Much Ado About Nothing" playbook; lots of hot air, no substance of merit.

And no, not UK based.

Irony….

It was a joke.

Size? Brightness of colour?

RafaistheKingofClay · 02/09/2025 23:38

Last time he tried to colour in the US flag with some kids he got it wrong. Maybe he’ll have more luck with a simple red cross on a roundabout.

heard about that I doubt he will do much better then the rest of the clowns painting roundabouts lol

Their exciting new version of Baby, It's Cold Outside.

How much has that mental image just saved people on Mounjaro?!

So did this happen?

Yes - it was about sending troops into Chicago to fight crime. (Well, really it was about him grabbing some attention and proving he's still alive.)

Livelovebehappy · 03/09/2025 09:27

Tbh, we’re all being distracted here. I’m more concerned with waking up today to the sight of the leaders of North Korea, China and Russian putting on a united display. We’re focussing on the wrong guy, while there are people co-ordinating something more sinister on the sidelines…..

Iaintsadwhenugotobed · 03/09/2025 17:56

Ruining Mounjaro for those left on it. Asshole

Yes. I find this very, very worrying.
I have good friends in Taiwan and they tell me that the Taiwanese have been worried about this for years.

The Washington Monument in DC is going to be replaced by a 200ft high gold statue of Trump. It will be lit up in the same shade of orange as his skin at night to warn aircraft landing at Reagan National on the opposite side of the Potomac. The capital city will then be re-named Trumpton, in honour of the greatest President in history.

😆😆

I'm not ignorant. I'm asking for people to think about what they're told versus the reality and come to a potentially different understanding.

For example, people genuinely believe that the royal family has no power in politics because of a 'decree' stating so despite all evidence to the contrary.

That aside, watching the president of another country like it's some kind of sport is so strange to me. I can't understand if we do it because we're jealous, we want them to fail, we wish we could be more like them, we are bored and need hobbies or what.

Educate me but do it respectfully. If you can't, move on.

It’s probably because what happens in the states (rightly or wrongly) has consequences globally. So yes it does affect us.
for me personally, it’s as though I’m dumbstruck by his absolute idiocy, and the wild crap that comes out of his mouth, and that no one, anywhere, seems to pull him up on this. Post truth isn’t it.

i laugh at him, whilst also being horrified that this is where the world is. I think Farage is coming, but I’m hoping something happens that exposes him/donald to be the manipulative shits they are, and that they aren’t “men of the people” coming to fix everything, before it’s too late.

He's launching his own brand of bright orange pancake foundation.

I enjoy reminding my American friends that Trump means fart in the UK 😇😇😇
