Add getting the Trump bucks during the initial COVID waves and I don’t know what else to say than he’s materially the best president weve had in my life.
I mean it really shows how useless and evil the Democrats are more than anything. It’s fucking wild
(Obviously it’s not over yet, not getting ahead of myself, but this is the most progress we’ve seen by a long shot)
edit: folks it should be obvious i dont think he is doing this as a good thing or that it’s not going to be a double edged sword. i’m just saying look at biden and compare.
The real cherry on the cake is that it’s part of his weird isolationist shit
That money isn’t going to go to anything good, but it’s removal from ’s pocket is still somehow a net benefit
World is a fuck
I’m waffling between “This is like praising Reagan for negotiating the hostage release in Iran” and “Well it’s not like the Democrats were actually trying.” Happy to end up being wrong but I’m thinking we should wait for the other shoe to drop before we draw any conclusions.
“This is like praising Reagan for negotiating the hostage release in Iran”
That would only make sense if Trump was working behind the scenes to sabotage Democrat led negotiations until he got elected. Even if he was keen on doing that, he didn’t have to because there were no actual negotiations.
But the motives here are very different. With Iran both parties wanted to bring back the American hostages (obviously), and Reagan only sabotaged it for personal gain. But in this case Biden didn’t want a deal and Trump is only indirectly causing a deal because of his isolationism.
Trump is only indirectly causing a deal because of his isolationism
At the risk of going a little conspiracy-brained, I think attributing this to isolationism is a facile reading. I don’t think Trump actively colluded with anyone but it’s reasonable to assume that Netanyahu did what he could to drag out the negotiations knowing that a ceasefire would be good for the dems politically but, even so, they wouldn’t try to apply any leverage to get an agreement in place. Bibi needed the ceasefire because the genocide is destroying Israel’s economy, but he also needs Hamas because they’re how he holds onto power. So while the agreement looks like a loss for Israel and like Trump had to twist their arm, it’s still a win for Netanyahu. Now they can quietly annex the West Bank once the world stops paying attention and go back to the slow genocide in Gaza, which the Trump admin won’t do anything to prevent.
yeah i mostly agree with this. it is partially what i’m talking about. bibi saw trump as ok here’s someone i can reasonably say “he talked me into it” to, whereas with biden and harris, who kept shouting for israel to kill all Palestinians, there isn’t a way to not look weak.
this is why the democrats suck so fucking bad
He won’t do it, but imagine he did universal healthcare labeled like “Patriot Care” or some shit, he’d go down in the history books as probably the best president ever, just for that alone. The bar is in the bedrock.
I’m very curious how he reacts once he starts receiving praise from the left online if the ceasefire is a success.
No idea what that looks like with him
I’m a big fan of the current push to convince him that it would really piss the left off if he built high speed rail and called it “Trump Train.”
Like nothing would own the libs and commies harder than high speed Trump Train we would all be soooooooo mad!!!
if only they’d make a nonwoke train then all American patriots would ride it, for generations, and chant Trump’s name
The Israeli’s will probably violate the ceasefire almost immediately like they did with Lebanon. Don’t believe it for a second.
lol the withdrawal of afghanistan. yes, he started the rapid withdrawal. he also cried about Biden not doing it correctly, so you can discard that point there.
JD Vance warns of consequences if Gaza captive deal does not happen, including knocking out ‘final’ Hamas battalions.
oh what a great dude. lol.
pump the brakes.
zero chance afghanistan withdrawal happens without that initial push under trump lol, we saw what biden was about.
like i said i’m waiting to see what happens with this ceasefire, but it’s suddenly under discussion whereas before, under biden as well as the potential harris, it just wasn’t happening
i’m not saying trump is good, i’m saying the democrats are evil
if you think a ceasefire is because Trump is a master statesman then i have beachfront property in Arizona to sell you. The other fascists of the world have an invested interest in propping up the soon to be king of the fascists.
i’m not saying trump is good
I don’t know what else to say than he’s materially the best president weve had in my life
lol k.
you understand I’m saying that in comparison to the bar that the Dems have set right? I’ve made that as clear as I possibly can. I.e. He is an awful person and a shit president and somehow still whipping Democrats at even this
read what im saying by what the words are and do not add what you imagine I mean please
Must every discussion of Foreign Policy over the next four years begin with a long denunciation of Trump? Would that satisfy your liberal requirements and allow us to proceed with actual discussions of the material realities (including the fact that as evil as Trump is he managed to kill less brown children than Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, or Biden)?
