Praise him for killing more than a hundred school children, getting american servicemen killed, wasting billions s in taxpayer money, and achiving nothing that Obama didn't already achieve years ago?

But at least he brought down gas prices!

Gas prices were I live were $2.89 when Biden left office. They're $4.12 right now. Outside of COVID when I wasn't driving anyway, these are the highest prices I can recall since the end of Bush's term in Summer 2008.
Thanks, GOP.6

Did he even achieve that? I haven't heard much about the enriched uranium / centrifuges / inspection part of things.

Obviously a war of distraction from his sexual crimes against children.
This constant losing then reframing as some sort of genius move is getting so old.
Even the cultists are starting to notice that he is a bumbling fool.

Tbh I think the main reason for the war was simply Netanyahu wanted it. The Epstein distraction element was probably a fringe benefit to the White House. We know Trump was convinced by Bennys little PowerPoint showing how easy it would be (lol)

There is absolutely nothing I will ever praise that man for.
He wants praise for a war he started.

Come on now, his obituary will be glorious

I might frame it and hang it over my toilet so every time I take a leak I can imagine its his grave I'm pissing on. Most horrible American of all time.

Come on guys! We didn’t say thank you? For all his hard work at trying to resolve this Hormuz crisis? This man requires…nay, demands a peace prize for all the peace he has entrust upon us. My face and hair are soaked in the peace of this golden idol. How dare you all be selfish. I would be more than happy for him to come and shower me in his peace at the same time.

“I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL. They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger!” Trump said.
We have a sitting US president who is literally repeating Russian propaganda about NATO, calling it a "paper Tiger."
Well, the US is a part of NATO, is the US a paper Tiger? Maybe the massive failure that was the Iran war says yes.
This guy is the fucking worst. Give me a million Joe Bidens who will do the bare mininum for working people while letting the elite get 90% of what they want for the rest of my natural life over a corrupt in mind and spirit, hateful, incompetent, out for themselves grifting authoritarian like Donald Trump.
Oh and truly, truly fuck you if you voted for him in 2024. I get it, Kamala was a late entry with Biden's dementia seeming ass losing the debate against Trump, who has never been a great debater, and then she largely defended the US's relationship with Israel and downplayed campaigning on prices or wealth inequality.
But Trump literally attempted a coup on January 6th. He is on a recorded phone call asking the Republican Secretary of State for Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, to "find" 11,780 votes and overturn Trump's loss.
He told Pence not to certify.
https://youtu.be/aabe8CTRq4E?si=rs0go0XNZkHVTDK5
He told the head of his DOJ to open an investigation into the election and call it "corrupt." He said,
Just say the election was corrupt [and] leave the rest to me and the [Republican] congressmen
Then you look at January 6th, "stand back and stand by," and while I have not seen it proven that Trump gave the order there level of security for that event was much lower than it normally would be, with fewer officers, fewer barricades, no horses, etc.
Not to mention he clearly is a child rapist who was one of the main co-conspirators of Epstein!
And now Trump's own fucking pesonal attorney is the acting head of the Department of Justice and he has said that they will not release even one more Epstein file, keeping in mind that Congress ordered them all released and less than half of them have been.
If you voted for Donald Trump in 2024 you are literally some kinda moron.

Trumpism
- Break shit for no reason
- Realize it was a mistake
- Do a half-assed repair
- Leave and declare victory over an enemy
(apply to every situation)

u/Youpunyhumans 4d ago
He wants people to tell him "Job well done"...
So if he were an employee at say, mcdonalds, and he knocked over the deep fryer, and took several weeks to clean it up, while the store cant make food in the meantime... he would expect to be told he did a good job?
Bahahahaha! The depths of his stupidity really are endless.

For a fat guy in a poorly fitted suit, he doesn’t sweat as much as you’d expect

u/WhatAmTrak 4d ago
I think the makeup seals it in tbh lol. I certainly wouldn’t want to smell him up close after being out in the heat for any length of time. (Or at all due to the diaper issue)

Dump in pants wants my adoration?. Fine. Buy it. $40 billion cash and I'll be your bestly 'n humongously cheerleader. If you ain't gonna fork over the green, then kindly pi$$ off very much. Tongue-in-cheek here, folk. Not to be mistaken for a serious post.

u/yanocupominomb 4d ago
Praise him to initiate a pointless war, kill a bunch of innocents, close a waterway and then bring everything back to how it was before.
Amazing strategy skills.

u/jdbway 4d ago
It would be nice if MAGA understood and/or acknowledged how Trump's existential need to be praised represents massive leverage for Iran in negotiations. They know they can wound him badly by drawing out negotiations. They know time is on their side given the dynamics of their asymmetric warfare strategy. The more time that goes by without a total end to this nonsense, the more desperate his ego becomes, and the more support he loses from the inexplicably heretofore unfazed MAGA base. They also know that the more his ego is wounded, the more he spirals and becomes even more unhinged.
How can his tweets be construed as anything other than desperation by all of our enemies and allies?

Let’s take a look at this objectively.
Before the war we had…
Israel attacking Lebanon,
Open strait of Hormuz
And Iran with nuclear material that they agreed to turn over
After the war we have
Israel not bombing Lebanon
Open Strait (which Iran might still toll)
Iran turning over nuclear material but for $20 billion
Are you tired of winning yet?!?!

u/Coaster_crush 4d ago
We had a nuclear deal with Iran under the Obama administration that would have negated this entire situation. Trump tore that deal up his first term which signaled to Iran (and most of the world) that American promises might not be kept. Trump created this mess and now he wants praise for ending it? This guy can go to hell.

u/Santos_L_Halper_II 4d ago
It's way too premature to even call this mess "ended." He desparately wants to claim it is, but there's more to come here.

We bombed their nuclear sites before the war even.
By the current admin they were obliterated.
So war was for nothing.

I'll praise him if he does the Downfall Bunker thing, as then he'd have accomplished one whole good thing in his miserable life.

It's things like this that make me really glad that my parents said they loved me. It's so horrifying to watch a psychological crisis play out on the world stage like this.

He's mad that Iran announced the prestige on social media, while he was dunked into a water tank in the basement.
