“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.

      I think calling him sundowning is attributing his malice instead to old age.

      He’s a line-upping old pedo. He has “insider trading syndrome” which on the surface appears like dementia…

      I’ve been saying for a while until we get rid of Peter Thiel and the other Epstein class members things won’t get better. Trump is a symptom not the problem. It’ll be cathartic setting him gone but it won’t fix things.

        You won’t get rid of those people under the current system. You will need a revolution before the capitalist owner class is touchable.

        When this is over, we have to purge MAGA from our government and our society, and reconfigure our country so that the wealthy understand that they keep their fortunes at the pleasure of the Citizens, and that fortune is required to serve the Citizens. The moment their priority shifts to increasing profit at the expense of the Citizens, their entire fortune is confiscated, their corporations nationalized, and they are improsoned.

        We do not work for them, they work for us.

      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
