“When you’re negotiating with Iran, Mr. President, to what extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating you to make a deal?” a reporter asked Trump before he left for China on Tuesday, alluding to the skyrocketing inflation caused by the fallout from the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and Lebanon.

“Not even a little bit,” Trump said, shockingly out of touch even for him.

    At this point the problem isn’t him. The problem is the people keeping him in charge and refusing to depose him. He’s a sundowing old pedo that they refuse to do anything about.

      Exactly. Find the person in the chain that wants to live. Flip them. Then seriously, about 5-15k people need to be executed for treason. Were beyond the ‘lEtS m00vE fOWrd’ phase.

      Let’s have justice. Let us practice justice. Let us execute justice, or there will never be peace

        I mean when he still has 44% approval ratings, half of America or more is to blame.

        It’s just insane.

      The people in power are also all the voters who see this behaviour, who see the obvious lies(even for them in their echo chambers it’s hard to miss some of this), and who continue to support not only him, but conservatism in general. It has never worked, yet they keep saying “ok, so once again it is conservatism that has produced this loser but he’s not a real conservative so I’m gunna keep supporting the POS factory.”

      We can argue about the racism, the sexism, the classism, and all that for a real long time but ultimately a few evil people won’t last against a population that actually cares and a few caring people won’t last against a population that allows themselves to be duped by obvious racism, sexism, etc.

      The GOP, for all their evil and election fraud, still would not win a single election if the people of the US said “no.”

      Exactly, he’s a symptom of the disease. There’s always gonna be some crazy old man yelling racist sexist things, that’s never gonna change, dementia will keep producing that. The choice is whether we make that person POTUS or not
