    He lies to his own country but now he’s lying on the world stage. Does he think we buy it? He’s lying about events we all saw unfolding ourselves! We’re not stupid, we don’t suckle on the Fox teat like his ignorant cult followers. It’s bizarre and extraordinary that this is happening. This is no way to run a country, this is no way to interact with the rest of the world. You chose this demented crook to represent you? WTF

      Is there a single line there that isn’t a lie?

      Even the “refusing to have elections” isn’t true, he can’t do that in a wartime according to their own constitution.

      Churchill didn’t have elections during WW2 and rightfully so.

      And for people saying that “it’s just for his domestic audience” well fuck that, he’s a president not some bloke in a bar.

      Time to step up for the free world I guess!

        Right there at the end, the one that says “Feb 19, 2025, 5:47 PM”. That’s probably true.

        Ah so we officially join the war, make no progress but suspend elections indefinitely? Great…

      He couldn’t care less whether we buy it or not. He thinks he can manifest his preferred reality by repeating the Big Lie, just like Hitler. And what’s worse, he has yet to be proven wrong.

      It doesn’t matter anymore. We’ve already seen that no one significant is going to call him out on it. some of the EU leaders should stand up and start calling out EVERY single bit of bullshit and misinformation Trump says and people in the EU should be vigilant against their bullshit spilling over to here.

        I fucking wish. And the media doesn’t call him out, instead try to interpret the bullshit, try to make something coherent out of the rambling nonsense. I listen to a BBC news podcast and you can hear the incredulity in their voices as they try to sugar coat and give the benefit of the doubt to this lunatic’s ravings. They clearly know but it’s like they see calling out his lies for what they are as some kind of line they dare not cross. Gotta appear balanced even if one side of that equation is disconnected from reality. It’s beyond infuriating.

          It’s almost like they feel they have to take a “balanced” view as to not upset the right wingers in their own country. Sorry, but some things you just cannot condone as a media company and you should take a stance on it. How can you not condemn him saying that Ukraine started this shit, like wtf?

          Also, some of the bullshit is already leaking over unfortunately… The party here in NL announced today that they’re not renewing any foreign aid packages because of the US being such a good example to follow… They’re more insignificant amounts but still, stopping aid for women’s right, gender equality, education, sport , culture and arts and most importantly, for sustainable climate solutions? Such bullshit. And it’s not like this money will then go to the citizens here or something, they’re just cutting it to save money basically.

    RIGHT FUCKING THERE! THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT FOR MONTHS!!!

    FFS, do any of you believe Trump wrote that?! It’s so transparently a staffer imitating his style. See anything that focused and coherent before the election? Remember the non-stop flood of wildly irrational, rambling posts and speeches?

    Go to Truth Social, see for yourself. Almost all of his posts are like that, and they’re few and far between. (Just looked, there are more posts than I had seen before.)

    I can’t believe anyone, for or against the man, thinks his senile old ass is still in charge. His staff has perfected handling him, and it’s no more difficult than fucking with a toddler’s head. Pat him, praise him, make him feel important, let him make a few inconsequential decisions (LOL, like paving the Rose Garden.), put him to bed on time.

    This go-round won’t be a clusterfuck like last time. The adults are in charge, and that should scare the living hell out of you.

    EDIT: On a lighter note, is his desk not backwards?

    What’s with the all caps and quotation marks? “TRUMP”? Like I’m just imagining Trump saying his own name while using air quotes every time.

    The random capitalization is very old timey. I expected to read something about the consumption.
