What are you even supposed to do with something like this? The AP isn't even allowed to press him on anything. They got kicked out of the White House press room for pressing him.

All of human society needs to ban together. Look at this picture, he is literally attempting to gaslight the whole fucking world! Nobody in that room believes him, but it's like they're being held hostage.

Try to imagine the mindset of a man that can seriously get up in front of the entire world and just hurl insults at them like a mentally ill abusive parent bc he knows they have no choice but to listen to him.

When I honestly try to imagine being at that podium, at that moment, in that room looking out at all those people just watching in complete silence, I get second hand embarrassment for him. Seriously imagine the awkwardness of that silence. But he has no shame. To him, as long as he's talking and people are being forced to listen, he'll just keep going.

People should be booing him off the fucking stage, and throwing rotten tomatoes at him. But bc this is the fucked up fever dream we're all being forced to live in, they know there will be consequences directed at them if they step out of line.

Maybe they should all just start whistling or humming a tune together in solidarity to drown him out every time he speaks.

You can ignore him. He hates being ignored.

We are definitely being held hostage. It is like an abusive ex you can't escape from. We would never tolerate this level of deception from a partner, friend, teacher, coach, boss, etc. but suddenly it is A okay when it is the President!?

Politics are beyond broken in the US. Or as the billionaires would say it, "working as intended."

With the US providing a quarter of all UN funding, with the ability to veto anything in the security council and having many other leadership positions.. yeah the US kinda does have the UN hostage

Headlines should say, "Trump ended zero wars despite his unfounded claims otherwise".

The format should be "Accurate statement - Trump says some BS contrary to that".
