Worlds biggest fucking baby. They seriously voted in a fucking baby as president of the USA…
I don’t know man, I currently got a baby and she seems rather reasonable in comparison. Sure she cries when she’s hungry but so far she has only hungered for milk and not a nobel peace price. I’ll let you know if things change.
To be a completely fair comparison, you should give your baby access to nuclear weapons.
Hey man, you can’t hug with nuclear arms!
I Wanna touch the red button!! So shinyyy!
Trump is the equalent to a 5 year old kid, lying about his summer holiday trips to his friends in kindergarden, just to make sure his story was better than anyone Elses.
Terrible Two’s are going to be Napoleonic.
Twice. TWICE.
I can believe once, the second one was almost certainly stolen. There is just too much evidence and litteral coffesions to think otherwise.

Not all of us, we feel truly hopeless at the moment and depressed
“Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize … I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America,” Trump’s message to Jonas Gahr Støre said. “The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.”
The Norwegian government has no control over how the Nobel Committee awards its prizes. Greenland is a territory of Denmark, not Norway.
I don’t understand how this is “normal.”
Like, I can bring this up to Trump-liking family, genuinely smart people, and it’s just brushed off.
If Biden so much as stuttered in a speech, it was like a national emergency. What do you think would happen if he started mixing up EU countries and impulse texting them over “your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize?”
Congress would impeach any other president on the spot. Democrat or Republican.
Even accounting for Fox News, I just don’t understand how this gets a pass.
Cognitive bias affects all classes and education levels. But in my experience conservatives are the most flagrant, “the only moral abortion is my abortion” for example.
Are you familiar with the concept of limerence? It’s an intense infatuation with a person typically rooted in romantic interest. It occurs when you don’t really know a person, and you build an idealized version of them in your mind that likely doesn’t reflect reality. You attribute all sorts of positive traits to them and overlook all their negative traits. You effectively view them through “rose colored glasses”. This is how Trump’s followers look at him. They have this delusional view of him as this strong man here to save them from the mean old leftists. His efforts to seize and wield extraordinary power is viewed favorably, because he is their savior. Everything he does is either awesome or it’s just minimized and ignored. When he does horrible things, it’s just haters looking to knock him down, because he’s just giving the U.S. the tough medicine it needs. There is no way to reason with them, because you can’t reason someone out of something they didn’t reason themselves into in the first place. It’s an emotional thing, in the same way you might be smitten by an attractive woman and build her up in your mind into something that she isn’t. The only way to break the spell is when your fantasy runs into cold, hard reality. In this case, the cold, hard reality will be financial collapse of the U.S. (or worse).
People do this with fictional characters too. TVtropes calls it “Draco in Leather Pants”. People find an evil character attractive and so paint a picture of that character in their head that is nothing like they are in canon, exaggerating any good thing about them (or just making up good things about them) and ignoring or justifying anything bad about them
Or what I did with my ex wife. It’s some powerful shit
By what metric are those people “genuinely smart?”
Sunk cost fallacy.
Firstly, Greenland is part of Denmark, not Norway. Not the same thing.
Secondly, I might be wrong but I don’t think the Norwegian government gives the Nobel prizes, an organization based in Norway does
Thirdly, how deranged does someone have to be to threaten war over not getting a peace prize?
He’s terrorizing Minnesota because the population votes for the opposing party. The madness with the Orange knows no bounds.
He’s terrorizing Minnesota because the population votes
Don’t worry, not for long! 🤪
US went from “We don’t negotiate with terrorists.” to “We are the terrorists.” Sources: All recent happenings in the US. Killing of the innocent, invasion to the foreign countries, market manipulation, hostile takeover or the main govt. branches etc…
I mean they did proudly display “we are domestic terrorists” at a convention years ago.
They could shutdown a whole country with MasterCard and Visa alone
Yeah but Obama wore a tan suit !!!
You realize that was 12 years ago and the only people who still bring this up are liberals acting like it’s some great “gotcha!”, right? Shut the fuck up with the tan suit already. You sound as demented as him. Maybe focus on today. If your best defense against facism is some half-witted comment about 12 years ago, weren’t not gonna win this.
I legit think Trump is obsessed over the Nobel Peace prize because it was awarded to Obama. And I think it all goes back Obama joking about Trump at the White House correspondents dinner in 2011.
It created some epic revenge arch that started with peddling Obama is a Kenyan national, and continues today. Shit in 2016 I don’t think Trump even really wanted to be president, and now he can’t get off the rails.
Big. Fucking. Deal.
Slinging half assed insults isn’t gonna solve this and people’s obsession with constantly bringing it up like it offends him or his base is retarded.
Yes it was stupid then and it’s just as stupid now when the other side keeps bringing it up.
People think they’re witnessing a market crash are delusional
I think it’s a little too soon to say if it’s a market crash or just a correction. The markets have been getting hammered the past few weeks, though.
They’re coming off a nine month long bull run. P/e values remain obsene, especially across the MAG7. And the money just keeps flowing, with banks seemingly unable to see credit risk on some of the shakiest assets since the DotCom bubble.
Whatever needs to happen to end this streak hasn’t happened yet.
It’s been a fun time for shiny metals.
They’re great to hold when you’re worried about interbank lending getting locked up by sanctions.
Real lifesaver for Russia, too, since they’ve been gold heavy since the war started.

How does Karoline Leavitt spin this one to reporters? Another joke? Or just attack the journalist for asking?
Even if it were a joke, some jokes aren’t appropriate for the leader of a country to make. Multiple countries are taking him seriously and gearing up to defend Greenland. If I called someone’s house repeatedly and threatened to rob them, I’d probably be arrested and the defence “it was just a joke” would do little good.
Absolutely. I’m not making excuses, by the way. It’s just that every other shitty thing he’s ever said is passed off as some kind of a joke.
She’ll go ballistic at the reporter for daring to ask the question, just like any other day.
I’m waiting for the day the whole administration tries to flip the script and claim this was all a giant social experiment. They crashed the economy, invaded US cities with a militia, started killing civilians, and dragged us into a foreign war over oil and then kicked off WWIII bc they knew it was the only way they could get all the sheeple to wake up.
Like the current grift will just shift into a new grift where they pretend an angry mob of millions forming outside of the White House was actually their plan the entire time.
“This was a test and you passed. Congratulations, give yourself a round of applause.”
Zero Requiem
The limpest of limp dick energy.
The stupid, it hurts
Europe is going to go for the “nuclear option” of dumping US debt. Prepare for your dollar to suffer inflation, perhaps super inflation. Me? I’m going to WalMart today to buy some staples because I don’t think my dollar will buy nearly as much by the end of next week.
Nothing drastic, just an extra pack of TP, some OTC drugs and probably some dog food. I’m pretty set up for apocalyptic bullshit already. But fellow residents: get ready.
I thought you meant actual staples… like for your stapler, and I was like, “Ok, you do you. Who am I to judge how someone prepares for the apocalypse?”
Imma staple so much shit together, bro.
The market will shrug it off like it did with the tariffs (which were also supposed to tank everything) because line must go up no matter what. Maybe if the market regained some semblance of rationality it would recognize how bad things are, but that’s not where we’re at, so it’s pointless looking at the market as some sort of measurement of anything to do with reality.
Guys there’s no way Hitler’s gonna invade the demilitarized Rhineland you guys are just fear mongering.
…Sorry what were we talking about?
I would just be fascinated to know if that letter went through the state department. Did somebody put eyes on that and approve it? Cuz that is amazing.
Is every authoritarian strongman a catty old bitch, or is it just ours?
