Rules:

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.

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.

BRO does this fucking retard not get that the ENTIRE US economy is quite literally in HER hands? 🫩 He should be grovelling at her feet with the amount of economic leverage her country possesses. But apparently the only leverage trump cares about is Mossad blackmail material.

Yk sometimes I feel like he actually intends to self sabotage his own economy on purpose, for example by invading Iran which locked off the Straight of Hormuz, not only is that disastrous because of the obvious oil cut off but it's the choke point for the Arab Gulf dictatorships which enforce the petrodollar system - no GCC = no petrodollar = American empire collapses - furthermore almost all of the GCC's food is imported from the straight of fucking Hormuz and because of how dry they are about 60% of their water supply is desalinated, with their desalination plants being hit. Once the Gulf States fall the US falls.

Then there's the threatening allies, tariffs, disrespect etc.

It's almost as if he's compromised the exact way all the kompromat points he would be.
