Based on the Iran Deal, he seems more like a bottom to me.
you can describe trump in one word : megalomaniac
That's definitely a good word, but I think you need a few more to really round out that description; words like: senile, bitter, gullible, weak, thin-skinned, foolish, and evil.
rapist, pedophile, asshole
The most accurate descriptors
you missed three from the top of the list: greedy, self-centered, egoistic
Delusional
Psychopath.
2 words, malignant narcissist
3 words: Incompetent malignant narcissist
4 words: Racist incompetent malignant narcissist
1 - Bitch
While in reality he's a power bottom for Bibi and Putin to tag team
Hardly call him a POWER bottom. That implies he has the ability to move his shambling corpse in a way other than a lurch.
Don can't, but Genghis Khan.
I don't want to support his pun, but here's an upvote
I didn’t have the ghost of Genghis Khan killing Trump on my 2026 bingo card
Fake news. No way Trump is a top.
He gives bottom energy for sure.
He gives sits-in-the-corner-by-himself-because-he-is-not-allowed-to-participate energy
Don't you have to conquer something to be a conqueror?
I've conquered the entire world in multiple RTS games. One time i conquered an entire galaxy. Does that count?
He technically conquered Venezuela
The author of the post that Trump is the "most powerful man that ever lived" is probably correct. Think about it: the US has the largest military in the world, and can project power anywhere. Historically, while this power has been built up, in America the ability to wield it has been carefully constructed so that it has to go through several layers of responsibility before being used, and different parts of government can perform their own checks on that ability.
Then Trump comes along, and many of those checks and balances dissolve. Somehow, he has successfully aligned enough of our government to his agenda that he can launch a war (and lose it!) without being held responsible for the result.
That is Trump's superpower - the ability to do whatever he wants, with impunity. That's not supposed to happen in our modern society, but he figured out how. Perhaps the key is having no shame, so he can ask for things that no other politician would think is appropriate? But with that kind of power, he really is ruling like a king, with the largest military in history (and all those nukes) at his command. Who's gonna say "no" to him at this point? He got rid of everyone who might.
On the other hand how effective is the US military really? Its got a lot of fancy toys but sure did just fall flat on its face despite what should have been overwhelming advantages.
It's the big difference between grand strategy and tactics. You can win every single battle and still lose a war. Grand strategy comes from the top. If the mad emperor tells his troops to make war on the sea, is it really on the troops when they lose?
"War is a continuation of policy", so what happens when there is no policy? What would "winning" even have looked like?
I mean do you think that every person on all the weapons of war really wanted to win against Iran or were they just showing up for a paycheck because they didn't really believe in their orders. Like doing just enough to not get fired and everyone collectively being like yup we know it's bullshit and stupid but let's kill some kids I guess, I mean the computer told us to so it's not like we can get fired over it
That's possible but I don't see the US army being super jazzed about going full imperialism either, maybe Cuba and Mexico might be initially tolerable but the latter is liable to turn into a horrific meat grinder which the population (rightfully) has never taken well in the United States. Every other option is either culturally a US ally or very far away which is a problem because US logistics are nowhere near as overhwelming without international support, or both.
I think you need to watch this
Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick… will you just go away already … or just die. Either is cool. Hopefully from a stroke on the toilet. Because anything else would make it worse.
I am so tired of hearing about all the stupid shit he says on a daily basis. I will be so happy when he is a distant memory.
I have some very expensive whiskey just waiting.
It won't matter what he eventually dies from. Even if the cheeseburger is still half eaten in front of him, half the US population is going to insist it was an assassination plot by Hillary and Obama
Unfortunately you are not wrong
@billwashere @sanitation
block Trump word?
maybe just a week
I did that for a while. But at the same time I feel like I should know what stupid shit he does so I can at least be prepared.
I long for the days of boring and predictable.
@billwashere
what you really fear you'll miss is the announcement of his death.
fairly certain no block will totally eclipse it.
and if you have the kind of luck of it happening on that one week or day you're not watching... then please do so and hurry the 'event' along
No joke this caused me to actually laugh out loud for about 10 seconds. Damn I needed that!!
@billwashere in any case I gave myself a 'day of peace'
(just interacting with you)
From another article:
Ok this is mostly unrelated, but the name Gary Player is a pretty great name for any professional athlete
don’t hate the Player; hate the game
You know what's funny with people who have the narcissistic personality disorder, is they themselves do not see anything wrong with them.
Conquerors are worthless. They come and go. What makes a realm/an empire stick around and last, is if the leader is a good administrator. What set the Romans aside was not so much military ability, though they had that. What set them aside was their ability to organise, plan and administer.
Ok boomer.
Oh yes Mr president, you aren't a bitch at all! /s
ha ha ha, fuck you.
Rump is useless a bulls on a tit.
What a loser.
What a terrifically stupid claim. He has no idea what is going on.
Historian David King is even more frightening, check this guy's hard drive.
Well, i mean he surrendered more times than those conquerors, so theres that....
Shhhhh! Quiet! 🤫🤐!!! He's sleeping 😴 again!
This all started with him getting the pee prize in russia.
I, Caligula...
I mean, sure but he has to use a splint to do it.
Except me, of course.

In stupidity
Maybe Americans will finally realize their cute "No Kings" parade, mean nothing to this administration? maybe try it on a weekday so the economic impact does the talking for you?
Must be nice criticizing from the outside with a viable social safety net and healthcare.
@stringere @Jhex
Your 'viable social safety net', for now, is community.
And community forms where you meet people.
At rallies and marches.
or you can give up and lie down, and maybe start an only fans to pay the bills.
So...like at a No Kings rally where I've been networking with organizers? But Jhex said those are useless? Now I don't know who to believe. Guess I'll just go fill out my ICE application and hope for the best.
yes, those are useless on weekends
you should have reached that conclusion when your mad king sent the vid of himself, as a king, literalny shitting on the march
And again, your criticism is coming from your place of privilege. Most of us are one missed day of work from being fired and one missed payment from homelessness.
Take your completely useless critique and leave the conversation to those of us actually doing something other than victim blame from outside the struggle.
Have you guys considered asking for foreign aid to fund a general strike? I am sure the rest of the world would be happy to support opposition to the trump regime.
That is a brilliant idea. I'll bring it up with those I know who can lend some more legitimacy than me just doing a kickstarter.
Edit to add: thank you.
you are focusing on the wrong thing here…
if you go to school, your teacher preaches from a position of priviledge, does that render the lesson wrong?
if you point me the way of anyone not wasting their time, I'd be happy to
The only one wasting time is you wasting mine.
Right. You famously cannot organize on the weekends.
you can bud but the regime clearly ignores you and nothinc is achieved…
do you think labour strikes would work if workers do it on weekends???
the stalling of the economic activity is what gives these moves any power… it's really not hard to understand
the fact that you see taking 1 day off to defend your erodinc rights as an affront confirms everything we see from the outside… yet instead of fighting the powers that put you in that place you rather attack me instead…
Exactly like the people who don't complain about their own poor wages but complain others are getting paid too much
good luck with that bud
Or several days in a row.
Try it on a weekday 😅
Every worker in the US could stop working and it wouldn't matter much, since the economy nowadays is mostly just a handful of big tech companies shoving money around in a circle. This alone is sufficient for the stock market to go stonks, and the rich becoming richer as a consequence. We normal workers are completely irrelevant and no threat to them and their wealth.
bud, that is completely false… I can see how fascist want you to believe that but it is simply not true
organize and fight, you do have power in numbers
while at it cancel every account you may have with meta, amazon, xitter and encourage family and friend to do the same
