This is what a lot of the global community are hoping will prevent ww3.

All this because he didn’t get a Nobel Peace Prize, still nearly 3 years in his presidency left but screw it, “If I’ve not gone one by now then whats the point?”
We can only hope he was given grave medical news and that gets him first

The only light at the end of the tunnel is in November, Trump is holding on to a slim lead, If the Democratics flip the House of Representatives in the midterms it means they would gain subpoena power, allowing them to launch extensive investigations into the Trump administration and its cabinet members. They can also pursue a third impeachment against him. So another 9 months of this shite. FFS.

For whatever reason I ended up in a massive youtube rabbit hole and found the guy on the apprentice that broke his NDA and basically went on record about him being incontinent and shitting himself on the regs and basically being a complete scumbag. Came out with it in 2019 and Trump hasnt sued him for it. Because he’s have to prove he was lying. And he can’t. Because he shits himself.

Dictatorships don’t hold elections unless they can determine the outcome. They’re not going to put all of this work in for years just to throw it away on some midterms going the wrong way. Seems like the increase in ICE’s aggression is a tactic to cause violent retaliation from citizens so the govt can delare marshall law and postpone elections. Trump’s already openly talking about it on TV ffs

Yep, America is fucked and so is everyone else by all outcomes… an American dictatorship or an American civil war… or an invation of Greenland. Fucked, fucked, fucked…

It’s got to the point where every country needs to joion together and call them out. Stop this nonsense.

All (most) of the world leaders are at Davos, Trump is expected to arrive on Wednesday. So we’ll see what happens after that.

I’m absolutely, totally, completely and utterly exhausted mentally from even trying to follow anything in the news at the moment.
He’s gone full Henry The VIII and no one in the world seems able to stop him. It’s terrifying really beccause what’s coming 6 months/a year down the line from this?
So much has happened in the first 20 days of this year you can’t keep it all in your head.
Having a go at the entire country of Norway for not giving him a Nobel Peace Prize whilst simultaneously saying he’s bored of peace and more than threating the hostile invasion of a Nato members territory…
Inviting Vladimir Putin to a ‘board of peace’…
You just can’t come close to making it up. Reality is beyond weirder than satire.
You can only assume the syphilis has finally hit his brain.

Surely you can’t come up with this much bluster and tomfoolery to keep going indefinitely?
When you consider the spheres of influence theory for why Trump is doing what he does it makes total sense and is utterly consistent with what he’s been doing.

Is this what trump always sounds like live?
Sounds like an incoherent geriatric in a home with dementia.
