Outside of the overt extortion for entry bit, how would this be any different than the current UN where the US unilaterally controls basically every decision or its consequences?

[-] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 41 points 1 month ago

It’s his same old song. Tear down what already exists, then huck a new version of it out for the very low price of $19.84.

I’m surprised he hasn’t added his name to the title of it yet.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

That's a good point. He still has time to put his name on it though.

[-] Vikthor@piefed.world 23 points 1 month ago

UN SC is not unilaterally controlled by the US, other permanent members get a veto too. That's why he would like to replace that.

[-] Redacted@lemmy.world 67 points 1 month ago

"Bored of peace" coalition

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 51 points 1 month ago

Trump doesn't honor any agreement he signs,why would anyone be stupid enough to agree to this.

He will just keep increasing the price.

Every pro Trumper I know also has a deep fear of the UN or some shadowy organisation controlling the world. Every conversation ended up with "Well at least he will take back power from the elites". Now Trump declares he wants to rule the world, and outlines their exact fears as his plan and they are silent. No comment. Why are people so stupid? And pathetically so. It not even hard to see how ridiculous this guy is, but people are still bowing down to it.

[-] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 month ago

Literally just tribalism. Trump is on "their team", therefore whatever he says is good.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago

Always projection. As long as it's their guy doing it, yay team.

It's WWE politics.

[-] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I still remember when people were fearmongering about Obama enacting martial law.

Trump is a genius inventor: he keeps coming up with new ways to take bribes

On Friday, the White House presented the composition of "a founding Executive Board", consisting exclusively of figures loyal to Trump: his Middle East adviser Steve Witkoff, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former UK prime minister Tony Blair.

It's astonishing how often Tony Blair manages to find new ways to be a massive fucking disappointment. It's like he's already concluded that he's going to hell for the whole Iraq thing so he'd may as well lean into it by being a huge cunt while he's alive.

This guy has ruined satire news...

[-] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago

Satire now would just be him doing anything like a normal sane president.

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 month ago

The words in the picture are wrong. It should be:
I'm going to build my own UN with
little children and more little children!

[-] Switorik@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 month ago

Can we start a go fund me to remove him from office since no one else with the power has the balls to do so?

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Hire like a mercenary army to overthrow him?

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago

This is pretty much how US politics already works. Trust me, all of us combined don't have enough money.

A "Board of Peace" membership and a 100 Euro bill are worth 100 Euros combined.

[-] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 month ago

TL;DR: Trump decides to let countries pay him a billion dollars to join his own UN ripoff

The stupid thing about this is the US already has a disproportionate amount of influence in the UN. Greed is something that can't ever be satisfied.

A board of peace - after telling the Norwegian prime minister that he's not committed to peace anymore because he didn't get the peace price (and no, the PM doesn't control the peace price)

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

I can only assume it will be renamed the "Board of War" in six months

[-] orclev@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

This isn't his own UN, this is just a blatant way to bribe Trump in the hopes that you'll get something out of it. Like all Trump cons the only ones who will be paying into this are suckers or people that already have leverage on Trump and can guarantee compliance (in which case this is just an extra money laundering step).

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 month ago

Well, after he got a Nobel Peace Prize, it makes sense that he moves onwards towards his next great wish: King Of The World.

Why can't they just make a Discord server for free instead??

The US government is now a racket headed by an infamous NY gangster that made a fortune scamming people in the real estate business.

History does beat fiction

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Well, that’s one way to start the new Axis powers. The internal fascist structure could be a gamble (usually even other fascist leaders want to have more authority than deference), but I guess we’ll see how it goes.
