The general rule of transparency is to make you look good and strong, not like a feeble-minded limp dick.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

I see he's tried all caps, next it'll be bold underlined and blinking text. It doesnt even matter what words you use with Maga, just the tone of voice and the volume.
DONALD ORANGE TURD I DEMAND YOU STEP DOWN AS PRESIDENT AND LET US CLEAN UP THE MESS YOU MADE. SINCERELY MR KEKZKRIEGER FIRST OF HIS NAME, DEFENDER OF COOKIES SLAYER OF MILK
and Soiler of diapers.
He really thinks he can just say shit online and have it happen because he demands it. If it worked that way, the world would have already been a smoldering ruin 10 minutes after the first Usenet board went up.
"I didn't say it. I declared it."
Didn’t they bring the planes back?
Like I hate the guy, but not really seen a president call out Israel like he did and dropping an F bomb.
I can't find any record of them bringing the planes back except for trump claiming it happened. Journalists seem to agree Israel completed their strike on a radar installation in retaliation for a missile fired right as the ceasefire was going into effect.
He didn't call them out he's upset they're making him look weak and throwing a tantrum.
The nut of it. Trump wants to be able to parade around DC and say he Ended The War With Iran.
If Israel keeps bombing Iran, it makes Donald Trump look bad. They're obstructing his victory lap and getting in the way of a bunch of cable news networks posting "Mission Accomplished" over his face.
DOES HE THINK THE INTERNET IS A TELEGRAPH STOP IT IS NOT A TELEGRAPH IT IS A SERIES OF TUBES EXCLAMATION STOP
International diplomacy via social media in public. What a world.
International diplomacy via social media
Well the unfortunate reality is that as a convict, he cannot travel to most of those other countries to do diplomacy in person...
Not true, diplomatic immunity would step in. How do you think he came to Canada last week? Please don't spread falsehoods.
So bombing Palestinian children is okay but he draws the line at Iran?
Iran is supported by Russia.
Did he add a "hereby" to his demand?
"I dedare BANKRUPTCY!"
that dedare looks a little eyetalic.
Need to check the keming on that font.
I didn’t say it, I declared it.
(*) Donakd J. Trump.
Or, if you go by his Press Secretary...
President Chump.
She keeps saying Trump as Chump, in official press conferences.

He is so fucking lame
That's the most baffling part. I never had a high opinion of the general populations intelligence. But you got to be a goddamn moron to be impressed by the current president. It's not hyperbole to say I've lost all faith and humanity.
But you got to be a goddamn moron to be impressed by the current president.
The joke of American politics is that you'll have two candidates run by smearing each other into the dirt. One of them will squeak out a win and get a few months of being The Most Charismatic Person On Earth because of a marginal victory largely on EC winner-take-all. But the TV/Radio will say this person is INCREDIBLY POPULAR and people will be brow-beaten into believing it.
Then that person will actually attempt to govern, fumble the ball for a while, and watch the media turn on them. Popularity will plummet and the opposition will come out of the woodwork insisting "Our Guy Would Have Been Better". Except its a media cycle driven by incompetency and corruption at the elected level. It's inevitably a false choice, because everyone on the ballot was one flavor of corporate shill or another from the get-go.
By the end, all you have left is an argument over who would have been worse. Everyone calls everyone else a moron for thinking the wrong things. Nobody seems capable of identifying quality leadership, because quality leaders don't have an in with corporate media to inflate their celebrity profiles.
It's cargo cults all the way down.
Yep. So many people flying their stupid Taco flags and wearing their "Let's Go Brandon" shirts and so on just seemingly have no idea how normal people view Taco.
To me, it's like watching the stupidest kid in the class with his underwear on his head and smearing feces on the wall. And I'm hardly alone in that view - Taco is and always has been a ridiculous and unserious dumbass. And these people think he's not only the best Republican candidate for office, they think he's the best they've ever had.
wait what they're flying taco flags? ^is^ ^nothing^ ^sacred^ ^don't^ ^answer^ ^that^
taco flags
Haha, it would be funny if they started literally adopting that just like they adopted "deplorable", but I've not seen that yet. I sure hope it happens - that would probably be about the same take as some of them adopting the teabagger thing (before they realized, oops, that might make them look gay, and can't have that, lol!) - more or less calling their hero a chicken is not going to be a good look.
I mean Taco fans flying capitol-T Taco regalia from China.
At least he spelled his own name right this time
You don't have to sign your tweets.
Signed everyone. 2007.
sometimes you need to though.
love and kisses, 1996
I think he signed this one just to prove that he can spell his own name right.
proof someone else wrote it

"I HAVE SPOKEN!"
"Hey, guys, I have spoken, hear me? Guys? Hey, guys?"
"GODDAMIT, I SAID I'VE SPOKEN, HEAR ME? DO WHAT I SAY! I DEMAND YOU DO WHAT I SAY! HERE'S MY NAME!"
The Art of the Deal, indeed.
He's Cartman.
trump would eat all the chicken in the KFC bucket out of greed. cartman only eats the skins out of pure malice.
Cartman has internal consistency and the ability to finish a thought.

Woah is truth social not an effective way to conduct international relations or something? damn. I guess he'd better try Facebook
I guess truth social is now an "official channel" for international diplomacy. What a brave new world we live in

This dumb fuck really though he could bomb Iran and it would bring peace to the middle east, you just gave Israel the ball and they're gonna run with it.
He needs to go chill in a bunker.

Oh wait, do you mean he is finally starting to realize Israel is (In this case) the bad guy in the dispute?
PS Yes, yes, yes, I know, Iran isn't "the good guy" in most respects, I mean in the case of this war.
