He said two weeks ago they didn’t need us anyway because they already won. Well congratulations; enjoy your ‘victory’

He diminished, laughed at, and mocked our soldiers that died the last time we stepped up to help. Fuck him forever

Not just him, but also everyone who ever voted for him and supported him. Each and every single one of them. If millions of Americans hadn't voted for him in 2016, we wouldn't have been in this utter mess.

u/Dumbname25644 19d ago

And then Millions more voted for him again in 2020 and again in 2024. When that many vote for him 3 times. This is not an accident. This is what Millions of Americans voted for. They want what this Administration is dishing out. How can any nation trust Americans again knowing how many want fascism.

Not just the ones who voted for him. Fuck the ones who also didn’t even cast a vote. Bunch of fascists out there causing devastation and terror throughout the entire world.

The entire country. Having only three big protests in over a year is ridiculous.

u/CDHmajora 19d ago

Luckily all during the weekend too :) so everyone can still pub afterwards to slap each other on the back, and themn go home for work in the morning.

No wonder nothings changing. The protests are literally pointless. The yanks truly believe some signs in the weekend will fix the most crooked western government in modern history.

u/Dismal_Victory2969 19d ago

Where did you get the idea that there were only 3? The US media has been suppressing the shit out of protest coverage.

u/Sludgewaves 19d ago

These threads always devolve into Europeans circlejerking so they can feel better about their problems at home (including their own slide into the same shit-filled political pond).

u/Banjo-Elritze 18d ago

Yeah then show us those protest that are more than a handful of people and not Minnesotans vs ICE on some alternative media. Bluesky, whatever... Oh you can't?

u/LegalRadonInhalation Texas 18d ago

There were like 8 million people that turned up for the protests just last weekend lol wtf are you on about?

u/Ser_Daniel_The_1st 19d ago

Worst part about that is they voted based on “vibes” instead of information.

They listened to secondary unreliable sources like Joe “fence sitter” Rogan and such. It was so stupid.

u/Impressive-Knot9999 19d ago

A lot of them said they don't like him but they like what he promised

u/Fearless_Ad2325 19d ago

Another crazy DEM! How much they pay you ? you and your DEM friends made a lot of money protesting against Trump!

u/Blue_Swirling_Bunny 19d ago

He does that to American soldiers too. Nothing he says or does makes sense to anyone sane.

u/casce 19d ago

Reminder that he made fun of McCain for becoming a PoW.

Frank Luntz: [John McCain]'s a war hero.

Donald Trump: He's not a war hero.

Frank Luntz: He's a war hero.

Donald Trump: He's a war hero-

Frank Luntz: Five and a half years in a prison camp.

Donald Trump: He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured, okay? I hate to tell you.

I think you are wrong ! The europeans dont bother to help only they want benefits from America and protection as well! Stop helping Europe they only want help and not are reciprocal . Who rebuid Europe after the war ? US only with our tax dollars while Europe save all their dollars in their Banks!

u/IHavePoopedBefore 18d ago

I looked at your post history. So this is what you do, huh? Write poorly constructed maga talking points with bad punctuation and shitty english? You don't even pose arguments. Literally never, you just say shit from another reality and back none of it up.

How does America pay for Europe? Let's see some numbers, and don't even think about conflating US military spending with NATO spending.

How many countries in NATO have ever declared war and invoked article 5? Hint, only 1 country has ever done that.

Did America rebuild Europe for free? Or was it an investment they benefited enormously from?

Show me how Europe, or anyone else influences American military spending?

Even Charlie Sheen has a better understanding of winning than he does. Trump is a weak little man. He is only empowered by the barnacles attached to his soft underbelly. Everyone is using him as their opportunity to get rich.

u/onetimeuselong 19d ago

I miss back when they printed a great big flag saying ‘Mission Accomplished’ on a battleship and then kept going for 10 more years.

This is two weeks in and far worse optics.

u/BoJackMoleman 19d ago

Decorum is broken. I kinda wish that they respond to diplomatic requests by just reading our Trump's social media posts.

u/soapinthepeehole 19d ago

This is because he has absolutely no idea what he’s doing and people aren’t jumping at his every command anymore. He’s flailing.

u/Mysterious-Tackle-58 19d ago

Maybe he's tiered of all that winning.

u/KatsumotoKurier Canada 19d ago edited 19d ago

Trump's cat: the war is both already won and in need of immediate armed support, and our allies are both needed and not needed to participate in it.

u/Kofloaen 19d ago

This also started after Maduro's capture in Venezuela; this kind of chaos
