Critics of Donald Trump took to social media to trash the president’s bragging about his “great deal” with Iran that no other president before him could have accomplished.

Trump announced Sunday — right before his planned UFC fights on the White House lawn that coincided with his 80th birthday — that “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!”

Not nothing, he depleted anti aircraft missiles which makes military complex and Putin extremely happy

It is actually less than zero. The end will be a richer and more powerful regime than before the most stupid American war ever.

Well its true. I certainly don't think any other president could have "accomplished" this.

This is the tale of the Donald Admin.

He shits the bed and wants credit for putting the sheets in the wash, and everyone's just going to ignore the stains left on the mattress.

Donald is a baby that shits and vomits all over your car. You can get a detailer to clean up the mess, but it will never be the same again, and always have that faint smell of crap.

I'm stealing that metaphor. Yoink.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Please do. Cheers.

He shits the bed and tries taking credit for the maid staff who put them in the wash, then replaced them with his-branded sheets at 47x the price of luxury bedding he used taxpayer (note, he doesn't pay taxes anymore) money, while complaining about how Biden ruined the economy

He's such a fucking stupid manchild. The only people on this planet dumber than him is the people who voted for him.

Sitouts: am i a joke to you?

Philosophical question: when an ego is overfed, does it belch?

I like this almost symmetric picture of empty-eyed confusion. I want him to be remembered and depicted like that, even in sculpture. Make it a modern cliché, a mask in a traditional theater, an archetype no one would follow.

[-] bagsy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I remember being angry about Bush2, no one could be dumber than that. Oh how naive I was.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 5 points 2 months ago

It’s not nothing.

He’s given Iran the world’s most valuable tool both.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Toll booth

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

So... he accomplished pretty much the same as the dumbass sitouts who allowed the insurrectionist rapist back into office as a strategy to stop that other middle eastern war?

Hows that one working out, btw?

[-] Binturong@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Well it accomplished something... just nothing that's good for anyone. Even enriching MIC and tech oligarchs is not good for them, it enables their self(and everybody else)-destructive hoarding behaviour that collapses societies for no universal gain. So, it accomplished various types of destruction, which is objectively worse than nothing.

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Have no fear, the dems will step into the breach and cover trumps arse like they always do. Anything and everything the thieving zionist cultists want, they get from our government. Including this failed war.

Has Trump tried paying Iran in his crypto currency yet?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
