Lordy, this is appropriate.

[–] enkille@lemmy.world 32 points 6 days ago (2 children)

ah yes, right around the time he announces his healthcare overhaul plans

[–] Subnet64@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Everything happens "in two weeks" with Trump, but perhaps this isn't the worst thing for him to procrastinate.

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He has concepts of a two weeks

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

2 weeks is the maximum attention span of his base, after 2 weeks he can just be like "I never said that" and they nod along.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

I guarantee he's hoping for another 9/11-level event so he can take emergency powers.

I've seen this one... it's called the Star Wars prequels

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Ahhh here we go. 2 weeks. This means he will leave it alone and never touch it again. Crisis adverted.

Two Infrastructure Weeks or two weeks just after he announces his 'big beautiful Obamacare replacement'?

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 5 points 6 days ago

Sounds like any Mario’s out there have a week and a half. Godspeed.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

It's not his decision to make, it's Congress'.

[–] Hux@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

So, his generals told him it’d take two weeks to be ready for war with Iran.

The generals were hoping he’d never be able to focus on one topic that long.

There is an entirely plausible chance the US is bombing Iran by (or on) the Fourth of July…

Trump wanted to attack "Right frik'n now", but told that the military needs at least 2 weeks to prepare.

[–] 52fighters@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 days ago

He is also banking on the hope that Iran doesn't launch weapons at US bases because he hasn't publicly committed. He will let Iran use-up their weapons vs. Israel before the US commits.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Infrastructure Week loop

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Terrorist states doing terrorist things

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 2 points 6 days ago

He'll have a concept of a plan by then, no doubt.
