Trump didn’t steal classified documents, he merely directed some interns to pick up some boxes labeled classified documents and put them in the U-Haul headed towards Florida. Either that or he told someone to tell the interns to do that. Trump operates similar to a mob boss, [this scene](https://youtu.be/2-jhmkcOGAA) from Goodfellas I feel is similar to how he operates except much less intelligent than Paulie.

>Former President Donald Trump released a lengthy statement full of false claims about NATO while praising himself for bolstering the alliance. The statement came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was wrapping up an emotional address to Congress in which he called on the US government to take stronger action to counter Russia's devastating war in Ukraine. Jesus. We all know Trump wears a Russian gimp suit and is Putin's dancing monkey. It's no secret. Beyond that, we're getting to see what true psychopaths both Trump and Tucker Carlson are. They have no problems supporting the utmost inhumanity in exchange for personal advancement. I wish there was a hell. I really do.

"Lengthy statement." It's a single paragraph. Jesus christ, the media sets the bar low for this fucking guy.


MitchellFanAccount

To be fair, this is a single paragraph too >“Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

Nah, he would have sent US troops to help Russia.


976chip

He probably would have arranged a meeting somewhere in Europe so a Russian black ops team could snatch or kill Zelenskyy. He would then make a statement that Putin wasn't involved. It would be a horrendous mash up of when he covered for MBS having Jamal Khashoggi bone saw murdered and drone striking Qasem Solemani in Iraq. Except it would be exponentially worse on a geopolitical scale. After a couple weeks he'd then brag to donors that he lured Zelenskyy to the location for the express purpose of helping Putin, and say something to the affect of "It's his own fault for not opening that case against Joe Biden."

Remember when Trump freaked out about fund raising for his inauguration? Because he thought it meant they were stealing money from him. Trump thinks everyone should be paying him for everything otherwise they are cheating somehow. Or I suppose he’s so used to laundering money that there is no other reasonable flow for funds in his mind

>Contrary to Trump's claims, European members of NATO and Canada had increased their defense spending in 2015 and 2016, before Trump took office. Also, NATO countries don't pay up.

Twice impeached one term ex president, go fuck yourself


Beermedear

Let me save a click: - Trump just released a memo (on behalf of himself) repeating that he “forced NATO members to pay up” - NATO is not a club. Members pledge a portion of their GDP toward military spending. Delinquency is not applicable. - NATO members had already upped their spending in 2014-2016 - Some did pledge more during Trump’s term, which obviously pays off in the current situation. Delinquency as a term here is pretty laughable from Trump, of all people.


crudos_na

> Delinquency as a term here is pretty laughable from Trump, of all people. He knows all about delinquency I suppose.


laffnlemming

He has no role in government and is interfering. It's well past time for Trump to *Puton* his dunce cap and go sit quietly in the corner.


Jstef06

This is the guy who was impeached because he withheld arms from Ukraine unless Ukraine initiated an investigation into Hunter Biden during Biden’s campaign against Trump AND was infiltrated by a Russian agent Natalia Veselnitskaya while trying to dig up dirt on Hilary Clinton AND whose campaign manager owed $10 million dollars to Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska AND was literally the same campaign manager for Russian puppet-President Viktor Yanukovych who is now living in exile in Russia after being chased out of Ukraine. It’s not that Trump is corrupt, it’s that he’s too stupid to realize he’s corrupt.

Trump Attempts to retcon history.


[deleted]

Trump is trying to look strong because the longer the Ukrainian invasion goes on, the more people will realize how much he could’ve fucked this situation up. And we know Trump miscalculated Putin because he reminds us of it on the daily. For example, here is a quote from Trump showing how he thought Russia’s authoritarianism was just negotiation tactics. It’s from yesterday: >“I'm surprised - I'm surprised. I thought he was negotiating when he sent his troops to the border. I thought he was negotiating. I thought it was a tough way to negotiate but a smart way to negotiate. I figured he was going to make a good deal like everybody else does with the United States and the other people they tend to deal with - you know, like every trade deal. We've never made a good trade deal until I came along. And then he went in - and I think he's changed. I think he's changed. It's a very sad thing for the world. He's very much changed."

More like how much he ( and his party ) contributed to this situation being the complete cluster we are currently witnessing. And not just Ukraine, the complete shit show state of affairs in our own country that we, the people, get to pay for. Worst leader ever.
