He says everything in all direction so he's always right about something, plus none of his supporters hold him accountable when he's wrong (lying).

Do you think that Trump repeats himself over and over again and that a lot of people are tired of hearing about it?

He repeats himself but also repeatedly says contradictory things, like in the video below. This is without a doubt also one of the reasons why NATO and European Union aren't helping him at the moment. Saying that you need them but also saying you don't need them and they never did something for the USA, while not the USA, but NATO went to war against terrorism after 9/11. 

He made the USA already a laughing stock, but now he's really making an attempt to go into history as the worst president ever. Creating an inflation worldwide and, his pride, the stock market that shows their discontent.

Seems like it’s driving you crazy.

No. But I will sum some things up so you get a clear vision. Sadly in this unneeded war the loss of lives, will be bodies with USA on their body bag, not Israel neither another country. If the world moves on with Iran his peace offer for the Strait of Hormuz this will another blow for the de-dollarization of the global economic world. This will hurt the American citizen, combine this with the stock market that is going down and all products that are connected with it like pension funds (Dow Jones lost about 3000 points since the start of the war) and with the inflation that we will feel worldwide due to the energy price that has risen in the past three weeks. The American economy will be bleeding like a pig and all US citizens except for the 1%. It will hurt in a way you've only heard about from your great-grandmother's stories. (Save this and lets talk about it in a year).

But most of these things don't effect me much, but for the USA it looks that times with inflation and recession are coming!

Trump isn’t making those comments for NATO or our allies; he’s making them for his base. Every statement is meant to solidify support at home, with disregard to its actual net impact.  This is true with most politicians, so he’s in good (bad?) company.

The head of the National Counterterrorism Center has resigned in protest over the war with Iran. Joe Kent, an Army veteran, said he "cannot in good conscience" support the war.

He said that pressure from Israel pushed the U.S. into the conflict, and that Iran "posed no imminent threat to our nation."

Kent said he supported "the values and the foreign policy" that President Trump campaigned on.

"Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation," Kent wrote to Trump in the letter.

Kent's wife, Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Shannon Kent, died serving in Syria in 2019.

Kent called on Trump to "reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for." He said Trump could "reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold the cards."

EDIT - The cracks are certainly beginning to show. Trump appointed this dude, and he typically only appoints people who he is confident will have unwavering loyalty - see 'Yes' men. Not a good look for the Donfather.

Can anyone identify something Donny has done thus far in the name of making America great again?

Maybe seizing control of and renovating DC's public golf courses?

Looking for the loyalists here to give us a positive spin.

I'm hopeful we will all wake up at some point and begin to repair the division within this country to get us back on the right track. The question remains just how far do we need to fall to get there.

The dude is losing the plot, and certainly does need help.

An interesting read below from five years ago. Helps paint the picture of how we got here, and how concerning it is that we got here.

The ‘Shared Psychosis’ of Donald Trump and His Loyalists

“Shared psychosis”—which is also called “folie à millions” [“madness for millions”] when occurring at the national level or “induced delusions”—refers to the infectiousness of severe symptoms that goes beyond ordinary group psychology. When a highly symptomatic individual is placed in an influential position, the person’s symptoms can spread through the population through emotional bonds, heightening existing pathologies and inducing delusions, paranoia and propensity for violence—even in previously healthy individuals. The treatment is removal of exposure.

Ready fire aim strategy is really working well. 

Little Pete dickbreath should be next to be fired. Trump needs a scapegoat.

I'm beginning to think that we would have been better off if Iran was left alone and let to build its Nukes.

This USA & Isreal against Iran war has fucked our economy here and next month we will be paying unheard of fuel prices which is the nail in the coffin for most of us with the exception of the wealthy.

I pray for a fucking nuclear war!  I'm tired of this life's fucking struggle. Better to be dead than to struggle like this.

 

May those serviceman who gave their lives rest in Peace. They are in a better place.

Iran having some nukes over higher gas prices? You’re trippin boom. I’m paying $6 US dollars a gallon right now in Temecula, CA and I’d rather pay that then having a country chanting “death to America” with nukes at their disposal.

Bibi has been saying for 40 years Iran will have a nukes in weeks. Didn’t Trump completely obliterate Irans nuclear capability. Trump backed out of the JPCOA agreement which stopped Iran from producing any nuclear materials . So it’s all

bullshit. Today a top intelligence officer quit who was appointed by Trump saying Iran posed no treat .

So, approximately 250 kilos of 60% enriched uranium is for what, exactly?

Medical research?

Trivia Question: Who is the only country to use nuclear weapons in military conflict?

I think most (including Iran) are smart enough to recognize that using such weaponry against a country like the USA would not end well for them.

Nuclear weapons are primarily used as a deterrent. And any use offensive use would be met with swift, overwhelming force. As noted above, such weaponry has only been used twice, for a single reason:  no one could launch a counter attack in kind.  Iran is responding to a nuclear capable Israel.

The other guys already have nukes, makes it too dangerous now, they’ll just send a nuke up into the sky and then that’s the war that everyone’s playing at. 

Think about this logic for a second.  Essentially that policy just tells developing countries that they better hurry up and make a nuke before the US makes up some bullshit narrative about them being “weeks away” from one for 30 years to justify an invasion.  Realistically that’s probably the only reason we haven’t attacked North Korea, and I bet other countries are taking note of this and fast tracking their programs.  Another classic example of government creating a problem then selling you a solution.

If that were true you’d have a point. But it’s nothing more than speculation on your part. Classic example of creating a problem in your mind that doesn’t exist.

And form alliances with US adversaries willing to back their plans. Although if this Iranian situation continues to spiral the US may become increasingly reluctant to respond militarily.

Didn't Hillary give Iran a truckload of Uranium between 2020 &2024?

I'm going to guess that in Trump's plan, we wouldn't be refilling thier tanks.

The Uranium was stored in the basement of that Pizzagate place, Comet Pizza. Then one of their pizza delivery people took it to Iran.  It's as simple as that. 😆

So back up, first Trump left the JPCOA which stopped Iran from enriching past 3.5% with old tech centrifuges.  After that Iran was able to get advanced centrifuges and didn’t have any limits or anybody verifying what they did. So that’s on Trump first. Secondly according to Trump when he sent in B2 with bunker busters they completely destroyed Irans Nuclear program. So which is it? 
He created the problem then he say only he can fix it.  Trump is the walking equivalent of total incompetence at everything. The only thing he does well is fuck thing up period!

Am I mistaken, but several administrations ago didn’t Iran agree that they would stop their nuke program and also agreed to full access inspection's by UN inspectors? And then when the inspections started, they limited access and only let the inspectors look at sites they selected? What ever happened to those inspections and why did they stop?

Trump pulled out of the agreement that required the inspections.   

 

The resignation letter written by Joe Kent said that there was no threat that Trump was talked into the going after Itan by Isreal.

 

And now its helping Russia by allowing them to sell oil and fuel their invasian of Ukraine.  What next? Trump gets mad and pulls out of NATO and Putin is even happier.
