Oh no…it gets better.

He also lifted sanctions on Russian oil, thus giving money to the country that is sending troops and arms that are fighting against US backed operations in Ukraine, and also supplying Iran with weapons.

If only he could be as sympathetic and intelligent as The Gang.

At this point I am not even sure whether Trump wants Ukraine to win.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 71 points 2 months ago

He just wants it to go away. No, I don’t think he wants Ukraine to win at all, he’d hand it all to Putin yesterday if he could. I think there are a few operating braincells in the administration that are preventing him from doing so, whatever the reasons are.

[-] erusuoyera@sh.itjust.works 44 points 2 months ago

whatever the reasons are.

The US politicians use taxpayer money to fund the weapons that get sent to Ukraine. The US weapons manufacturers get that money. The US weapons manufacturers pay the US politicians. No great mystery. Not disagreeing with arming Ukraine, just wish it wasn't a necessity.

My tax dollars at work.

Also somehow my tax dollars at work.

Trump does not care who wins beyond how it affects him.

[-] baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 months ago

He wants distractions to keep himself and his loyal family out of prison.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

US policy in regards to Ukraine is to bog Russia down. Same thing as when they were fighting in Afghanistan. The longer this conflict goes on, the better for US foreign policy objectives (and weapons manufacturers).

It could only be more 1984 if there were no war but the government made up lies, took lives, and wrote articles about it anyway.

He didn't actually author the book, that would be work

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 93 points 2 months ago

The real author has said trump is illiterate

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 46 points 2 months ago

It's clearly evident anytime he reads something outloud. Most of his pronunciation issues around his first term were caused by him struggling to read a prompter and not comprehending what the words he just strung together mean.

That and the start of dementia.

[-] Thorry@feddit.org 13 points 2 months ago

Also he is very vain. His eyesight is terrible, has been for years. But he refuses to wear glasses. They set the autoprompter to a very large font, which means he easily loses his place. He often mistakes words and then tries to cover with all sorts of nonsense.

There are some pictures out there of him wearing glasses, but he tries to hide it as much as possible.

Imagine looking like that and still being vain, that's impressive actually. Same with that ridiculous "hair" he has and that famous picture when it was windy. Just buy a fucking wig man, the pig is rich enough and this just fuck my shit up hairdue is not fooling anyone.

I hear the Strait of Hormuz is getting a long needed vacation. Trump is making the Arabian peninsula great again!

It makes more sense when you realize Trump isn't working for Americans.

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

No way, Donald Trump is a foreign asset?!

Donald "Russia, if you're listening" Trump?

Donald "My Putin" Trump?

Donald "No puppet, no puppet, you're the puppet!" Trump?

That Donald Trump?

[-] prole 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He doesn't even have to be a foreign asset to be not working for Americans. Personally, I believe he's working entirely for his own personal benefit, and the benefit of his family and some friends.

The level of graft is unprecedented in the US.

I'm tired of winning, boss.

[-] huppakee@piefed.social 35 points 2 months ago

Is America Great already?

No.

Is Trump & Friends richer?

Yes.

[-] Avicenna@programming.dev 9 points 2 months ago

One has to wonder how much money they made just of the crypto grift. Everything Trump has done from day one has been to funnel money from regular people's pockets into billionaires' pockets, including him self and every tech oligarch that bent the knee.

Step 1: Remove EV Tax Credit Step 2: Spike Oil Prices Step 3: Put extra tax on EVs

Now you make people get EVs AND pay you for the pleasure. Extra points if you invest your stocks right to capitalize on both the spike in oil and the raised demand of EVs! So much winning! (But not for the Average American)

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 months ago

My go-to response when my more conservative relatives complain about the cost of anything is "are we great again yet?"

They don't complain around me anymore, which means they've internalized my response by now

[-] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago

Makes sense if you're being paid off by the people who sell oil. High oil prices is good if you sell oil.

"raised oil for Americans" no bro, the rest of the world don't exist, only USA, Trump and the Democrats.

[-] protogen420 7 points 2 months ago

raised nitrogen fertilizer prices too

Just wait until the curved of Hormuz finds out.

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

And the gay of Hormuz too

[-] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 13 points 2 months ago

The guy is used to failing upward and has now reached the highest position. There is no failing upward from being POTUS.

You guys really are winning. :)

Make sure to be grateful every day and say thank you.

I think this Trump guy is playing for the wrong team.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Depends on what team you're on. But he's definitely never played for team America.
