In a way he's sort of like westboro baptist church in the states. Once universally despised now outdone by more crazy and sort of forgotten about

He hasn't been the craziest one for almost four years now.

Dude is looking much more reasonable than all the American allies that don't have nukes.

The western world having a surprised Pikachu face when the American empire starts treating them like it does the entire global South.

Please, please realize that the actions America is taking are (1) not because of Trump alone. He is the leader that enacts the interest of its wealthy ruling class. (2) This is not new. This has been what the US has done for decades. The only thing that is new is who its being done to.

You (your nations leaders) all watched and "felt bad" as it enabled a genocide in Gaza. Some even condemning it while continuing to arm Israel as not to upset America. This cannot be understated. This gave America the confidence to do what it is doing now. Gaza was a testing ground.

Now, that empire asks you to bend the knee and remove the illusion of self sovereignty.

Korean people, Vietnamese people, Iraqi people, etc. Might want to read some of the struggles against empire from their perspective. Because that's what is happening now. You can still think "that won't happen to us". Well, you might want to prepare for that.

Because "the 65%" of normal citizen in the US don't want any of this either but they are just as inactive as you are. Your resistance gives us in the US more power to resist as well. We need to realize that this not a fight between nations and leaders. But a fight against the people of the world. Our blind eye towards Gaza and other crimes has given the green light for it to be done to us.

We are not fighting against nations. We are fighting against the rulers of wealth. We are sitting in the fascist imperial core being subject to SS troops going door to door. You (in the rest of the west) will see material conditions decline as your politicians are pressured by their own wealthy ruling class to give in to the empires demands. You cannot let that happen. America needs to be choked. It needs to be sanctioned and boycott and if necessary fought against. Do not let your politicians give in; and you cannot afford to continue to be inactive.

Trump is jealous that he still has to poop, unlike Glorious Leader Kim Jong.

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 24 points 9 hours ago

They are awfully close, though. Both in scale of insanity and in affection for each other.

Too true to be funny ;)

I wouldn’t call trump crazy. Senile? Yes. Dumb? Yes. Overly prideful? Yes. Bigoted? Yes. Crazy? No. He’s just beholden to nothing and no one relevant to our perspectives.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 15 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Senile and has dementia could loosely be called crazy.

He is old af, in diapers and talking to the yard about his ballroom while in meetings. He's lost it occasionally and sundowns occasionally. He is not up for the job.

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 1 points 5 hours ago

He is not up for the job.

Totally agree, but i'd say he is sane. It's just that he has a different sense of what is normal, a different view on what is morally okay and priorities that are different than those of the average politician. But being crazy is imo different than doing something crazy. I think you could actually do a lot of crazy things without actually being crazy, which is how i see what is happening in the US gov.

Didn't he want to nuke a hurricane, back in like 2017? After someone told him that just changing the expected course with an expo market on a map doesn't actually do anything?

That's like first-grader logic and problem solving right there. I don't even know if it is true but the fact that it could be tells you everything you need to know about his mental capacity...

They are deeply in love with each other you know.
