I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
FreakDaddyYou really don't need to. It's just a right-wing talking points to try and save face for these azz clowns. In the first 2 mins, Trump lies several times, and claims the same nonsense that the war would have never started if he was in office. Then Trump insulting media outlets he doesn't like, and praising propaganda ones that he does. And then trying to pump himself up, and talk about how amazing he is, and what a great dealmaker.
And once Zelensky was making the most important points in that meeting, and the fact that Putin has never honored his deals, is when they started dressing Zelensky down, and insulting him while trying to act like tough guys. Then they just began raising their voices and trying to bully Zelensky because they don't like the fact he (and a few other people in the media) are pointing out that w/o a safety agreement to pillage the minerals, Putin likely won't honor this agreement.
The whole meeting on video is worse than the clips they pulled out. It's typical behavior from bullies and narcissist. Just raise your voice... blame the victim. Just gross ****.
tame_deucesSo, now we had the President of the United States advertising the cars of his biggest donor's company in front of the White House. Then we have the United States Secretary of Commerce encouraging citizens to buy stock from said company, in what seems like a bid to prop up its stock price which is in free-fall from public blowback. We also have numerous GOP politicians appearing in social media videos and posts advertising the brand.
Meanwhile, said donor according to the POTUS is leading the gutting of federal departments, many of which likely provided oversight over his companies, but according to the Administration he is not the leader of said operation... and ultimately nobody knows exactly what is going on, because there is no transparency, but it seems evident that said donor has been appointed the world's most powerful bureaucrat, while holding the worlds largest fortune in terms of companies controlled and stocks owned.
I mean, anybody who thinks this is "winning" is stupid. Sorry, I don't say that as hyperbole or as an insult, but it is the most fitting the word I can think of.
This is just everybody losing. Including those who cheer for it.
jchristoJust wrong about which side has it
