Trump has any sense of reality?
Will no one rid us of this turbulent moron?
Time will. Just not soon enough.
I'm supposing this dumbfuck really thought he was going to get praise for this?
The problem is that he's been safely ensconced in a bubble his entire fucking life. He's Patient Zero when it comes to rich white failsons failing upwards, FFS.
yeah some progressive senator/rep was saying this was actually 10d chess on trump's part to extract concessions from industries in exchange for tariff relief, and, maybe, but also, you know, there is the other explanation
this was actually 10d chess on trump’s part to extract concessions
It’s called a shakedown. Instead of actually talking to someone, start by threatening them then extract concessions. Best deal maker ever
He thought he could make more fake deals and get good press, but the nihilist tech bro backed death cult had other ideas.
Trump has friends?
I'd imagine he thinks that other evil rich people and sycophants whose immoral compasses are aligned are his friends, but in reality they're around because it benefits them (or they think it does), and they'd stab him in the back as soon as it benefits them. (It's just that so far it hasn't benefited their morally corrupt causes yet.) So people like the deceased Epstein, and Canadian traitors Kevin O'Leary and Gretzky. AB Premier Danielle Smith wouldn't even be an afterthought of a "friend" in this context, but she's trying so desperately hard to be accepted, it's pathetic.
Genuinely something I've wondered about for a while. I guess he's got some regular golf competitors? As long as he wins tremendously
And the media is playing softball with him. This is the media not calling him out on all his bullshit.
Exactly. If we actually had a real oppositional "liberal media", they'd be tearing this asshat a new one for his dumbfuckery.
I thought he would’ve been impeached by now. I am a bit surprised he hasn’t been.
By the Republicans? Pull the other one, it's got bells on.
By anyone. It's not like democrats were particularly interested.
Well he has been twice so they tried I guess.
The only hope I have is a coup.
Impeachment isn't enough
French style coup
Beaucoup de coupes
The orange cunt would have an aneurysm if only the "Press" actually treated him fairly. Instead they sane wash his bullshit, and tiptoe around him without ever using the words "Liar", "convicted felon" or "rapist"..... The press have never treated anyone so favorably, and still he whines and cries like a stuck little pig. He gets $1 billion free publicity every single day. Fuck him with a cactus. No lube ! Edit: And fuck the press! They are responsible for Drumpf!
MSM heavily benefited from trump being center of attention, and most of them are owned by conservatives anyways. just like fb, youtube, reddit right wing gaffes drives traffic.

"Friends": people who agree with whatever you say and laugh at you after the call?
The fact that McHitler hasn't stroked out by now is all the proof I really need to say that there is no god directing all this shit.
My dad is 60 and has had a stroke in Janurary. He's far from perfect, but he's been a good role model for me, made me a better person, and helped me when I realized my mom was more insane each passing day.
This fucker is the oldest president, looks worse than his age, is angry 24/7, and hasn't had one.
Life is a cruel joke.
If there is a god, he's incompetent at best, and more likely, an asshole who is doing this shit on purpose.

The voices in his dementia-addled brain don't count as "friends".
attempts to end wars in Gaza
huh?
He probably told Netanyahu to please stop it, it's hurting my PR now, and was shocked when he said no

not according to putin, its working as intended.
He has two options: 1) Stop doing stupid shit, or 2) Destroy the media, replace it with propaganda outlets.
Guess which one he'll do.
You forgot #3, do something else crazy to try and distract from this failure. But #2 is definitely in the cards as well.
His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered?
What plans? He's not even tried to do either one in even a meaningless, symbolic way.
His plans were to reward the aggressors and try to grab a piece of the carcass from the other vultures.

"Everything is everyone else's fault! Why can't everyone see that my way is better for me and my interests?!?!?!"
Sorry donnie, we do see it.
Thing is, he's not doing anything. He's just riding the train. He doesn't understand or care about the stuff the people around him are doing. He believed them when they said it would make him beloved.
He's just an idiot snake oil salesman.
