Wow! Mincing no words...

Full translation. We are the laughingstock of the international community:
A year ago, right here, I was comparing Trumps presidency to the court of Nero. I was wrong, its the Court of Miracles.
An anti-vaxxer, a former heroin addict, is Minister of Health.
A climate change skeptic is Minister of Ecology.
An alcoholic TV host is Minister of the Armed Forces.
A former agent of Qatar is Minister of Justice.
A Putin groupie is Minister of National Security.
A Turkish proverb says: When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become king, the palace becomes a circus.
This fine team has decided to create a competitor to the UN. Since its Peace Council has existed, Trump has launched more military strikes than Biden did during his entire term.
Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and create a diversion.
Bomb more to gain more.
There isnt a single country where Trump hasnt taken advantage of the situation to enrich himself, never forgetting his family. A personal Boeing offered by Qatar, investments in projects across the Gulf and elsewhere, manipulation of stock prices benefiting a select few insiders.
Any one of these conflicts of interest would have triggered immediate impeachment proceedings here.
But we are not here, we are in MAGA America, where public affairs are conducted in the service of private interests.

tRump turned it into a tragic comedy, and now the entire world laughs at our country and the kleptocracy it's become.

(9,592 posts)The Trump administration is comical, obscene, repulsive...and threatening. The idea that "it can't happen here" has been thoroughly discredited for any advanced democracy. Europeans need to take a ruthless approach to countering their own "populist," oligarchic, fascist movements. They can learn from America's object lesson. They need to treat MAGA America as a potential enemy.

(77,280 posts)And who put in the 1.5 billion $ buy order or sell order right before Trump was going to make a speech (well as what he can do).
My guess Don Jr., Eric. Kush-Turd, and some Saudis.

This is far worse, it's government by social media algorithm, something that favors the most outrageous lunatics and which this bunch of dimwitted and uncreative power drunk assholes take for majority opinion.
This is why social media have got to be regulated as public utilities, to get rid of the algorithms that favor clickbait.
Not only will outrage junkies have to start thinking straighter, it will be fun to see Zuckerberg et al. shriek and squirm.
