Yep. Remind him that Kamala Harris has half Indian ancestry and he'll be ready to colonize it right after Panama, Greenland, and Canada.

He's not going to colonize these countries. You have to be dumb to believe he's serious when he says that.

Facist bootlicker says "what"?

Dude, it might be time to start taking the fascist in office backed by the richest Nazi in the world a bit more seriously. You'd either hafta be dumb or sickeningly out of touch to think you can just sit back and assume he's joking.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I never said he's joking. He's negotiating. Some type of psychological warfare. He's pressuring countries into doing what he wants out if fear what he's going to say next. And in addition to that, he's flooding the media with so much bs that they can't keep up with his actual agenda.

Your hate makes you not think clearly. You need to start thinking in strategies and tactics. In power and economics.

He isn't as smart as you seem to think he is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You don't have to be particularly smart to be manipulative. In fact, it's probably because he's not very smart that he finds these solutions to his goals.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Right that's why he acts purely out of spite and emotion, dismantling anything Biden did, putting his name on it, then claiming its better. He's not smart or manipulative, he's just a fool who can't take no for an answer.

He demonstrated that he is senile when he blamed the current trade agreements on the president who signed the last agreement. Trump signed the last agreement. He can't remember.

That's why he changes from tariff off to tariff on every week. He has no plan. He has lost his memory.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Eh. That seems like wishful thinking. He just blamed it on "the other guy" because his base is gullible and ill-informed.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Reality check should've set in for you the first month he was in office. All of the things he's been saying that he'll do if he got elected again. He did more than a quarter of those things within the first week. We have 4 years with this asshole now and the only silver lining is the mid-terms, provided there will even be a mid-term election next year.

He has already done 32% of the things he's promised to do and that's just all within one month. Do you think he's bluffing? When he said he was going to throw tariffs on countries he feels is at fault for the problems in america, he did so. When he said he was going to fire lots of people, he did. When he said he was going to pardon everyone possible for January 6th, he did. There's still more to come, too.

And you think he's joking?

Here is a bit of logic for you. Either you believe what he says, or you don’t. If you do, then you should realize the kind of dangerous place he’s pushing US towards. If you don’t, then there is no reason he should be a president and you should not be depending him. So which is it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Either you believe what he says, or you don’t.

That's a false dichotomy. 10% of what Trump says is true but 90% of what he says is insane, so 9% of what Trump says should legitimately concern everyone. Because we don't know which 10% is true, we have to be concerned about everything he says.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. My opinion is that, as you pointed out, if you can’t tell what he says is true, whatever percentage it is, then we should all be concerned about everything he says, or he shouldn’t even be a president.

I made my argument because the number one problem I have with people who voted for Trump is “he will do this and that for us” (insert inflation or immigration or whatever hot topic), while, regardless what he says will do is good or not, there is no guaranteed that he will uphold his promises.

True but he doesn't need to. It's the door in face technique
