"We’re going to have the greatest dome ever," he continued.

I swear, this guy talks like a seven-year-old child. Guess that's what his supporters understand.

My planned d&d setting that took place in a country on the brink of invasion that turns to a magical dome for protection and the fallout from the total isolation from that decision feels a lot less fun now.

This looser did not even manage to build a wall at the Mexican border (and failed to make the Mexicans pay for it). And now he wants to build a f-ing dome?

Giant dome over Mar a lago, his TV room in the White House, and the nearest McDonalds. That's what he means.

[-] Bwaz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Maybe if Trump is placed outside of said dome.

Imagine thinking the U.S. doesn’t already have one hell of an anti-missile defense system. No one has launched a rocket at the U.S., but if they did, that shit would absolutely get intercepted

surely it will end up being a small poorly constructed silo with PIG CRAP painted on the side of it

How does he think he can visit Vlad with a giant dome blocking his way?
