Trump told donors how he'd take out Russia & China



Tweet text:

Josh Dawsey
@jdawsey1
Trump mused to donors that we should take our F-22 planes, "put the Chinese flag on them and bomb the shit out" out of Russia. "And then we say, China did it, we didn't do, China did it, and then they start fighting with each other and we sit back and watch."

When he gets to the end of a page he doesn't know what he read

He's just spouting what he heard some other dumb shit say. Best as he can remember that.
And we know he keeps a lot of dumb shits around. They're the only ones that can stand him.

Mr. President, the Chinese don't have F-22s, even if they did, they would not be flying them out of Langley or Eglin.

And the Chinese would most certainly not let us use their bases in Shanghai or ChengDu, for your brilliant plan, etc.

At any rate, the generals must have been horrified.

Justice matters.

Trump is a toxic narcissist and sees himself as the most brilliant person around. He loves constant attention and admiration.

The generals probably had to tell him it was a smart plan, they would look into it, and hoped to God he forgot about it.

Just an AF insignia.

And yes, they identify aircraft by shape, size, appearance I believe.

I don't know whether Trump still has any prospects of running again given everyhting else that's going on, but if so, this could put the kibosh on them.

He'll probably say he was joking, though. Very Reaganesque.

They have the J-20 which is comparable, but it is larger and no one would mistake it for a F-22.

Of course this is only one piece of idiocy in his statement.
A real military genius.

I would love to see Trump give his speech to cadets at the USAF Academy.

The F-22 costs about $334 million, this is for one plane.

Trump must have wanted to sell a couple of them.
He really did think everything belonged to him personally.

Right Melania could sell them at one of her garage sale scams.

It’s so scary to think this idiot really thinks this is possible if the planes are painted well. Seriously, he actually thinks this could work and he was nice the leader of the free world”.

I’ve lived through nuclear threat before but never felt this fearful of these two morons Putin and Trump. Mother Earth is crying.

Sun Mar 6, 2022, 03:26 AM
Mar 2022

"Colonel Vyzov, we have identified the aircraft responsible for the attack. They are American-made F-22s."

"Did they have any distinctive markings?"

"Yes, Colonel. They had huge Chinese flags painted on them."

"Do you have an assessment, Captain?"

"Yes sir. My assessment is Donald Trump has gone out of his fucking mind."

"Can you tell me something the whole world doesn't already know?"

"No sir. That's the whole assessment. The Chinese not only have no F-22s, they have nothing that even looks like one. The only assessment that makes sense is that dumbass is trying to fool us into fighting the Chinese."

"Oh god. Well, you know the drill. Call the American defense ministry and tell them we won't retaliate if Trump is delivered, preferably sewn into a large bag with 500 pounds of rocks and a mountain lion so we won't have to do it ourselves, to the Russian Embassy in Washington by this time tomorrow."
