Can he fly 'is savage drones as far as the MeSA? Perhaps he just has a vid of Dum and Dee performing unnatural acts together, which he will use to persuade them to once more kiss and make out (I mean up)? But Putin's vid of them is probably more horrible.

Do we want the Trumpeter-Muskyrat bromance to prosper, though? There may be a chance that they challenge each other to a dual with cybertrucks or golf clubs, resulting in ....... Gaw! That fathead Vance as Pressie!!

No, better they slowly eat each other until Americans come to their senses and somehow vote the loons away, away to the booby hatch they escaped from. But what other and perhaps worserer loons are waiting 'round the back o' that Whitehouse? The place is full of monsters anxious to buy power and a horde of savages in various uniforms to implement their cruel whims and fantasies.

Anyway, best get rid of yer Tesla now, if you have a-one. Either Trump will have them all attacked with stealth fighters or Muskrat will blow them up remotely, along with his Mars spaceships, with a Special Tweet, in a fit of pique.

Looks like things are on the glide-path to the declaration of a state of emergency and suspension of bits of the constitution.

I was wrong about the working relationship between Trump and Musk. I thought it would survive for about three months max, and it lasted more like nine months. Two huge egos, neither equipped with diplomacy and tact, were bound to collide at some point.

Trump doubling down on deportations, but presumably same shortages of some workers in some sectors there as here. Does he own hotels.....?

BBC News item 16 June: "This new order came just a day after the Trump administration directed immigration officials to largely pause raids on farms, hotels, restaurants and meatpacking plants, according to the Reuters news agency."

Now twice has DT said "let them fight it out" where a single phonecall withdrawing all military and financial aid to Israel would stop the attacks on Iran and Gaza, instantly!

A further announcement of crippling sanctions on Russia also has a good chance of stopping the invasion of Ukraine.

The man is a moral vacuum

Notice also that as Nettenyahu pushes attacks against Iran, Gazan starvation and genocide has dropped out of news coverage.

Given the embarassing failure of Trump's military parade, and the success of the multiple "no kings" protests, I am starting to wonder if the shine is coming off the administration, and people will see through the emperor's new clothes. Roll-on the mid-term elections!

I assume Trump has never been to Tehran. I have (and I expect it's grown since just post-revolution) and I cannot imagine an evacuation!

BBC News: "US president Donald Trump has warned “everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran”. Some Iranians had already heeded this advice, others feel it’s simply impossible to follow."

Trump leaves G7 as Zelensky arrives and also misses meetings with Claudia Sheinbaum and Indias Modi. Sounds to me like a severe case of TACO :lol:

He's not comfortable in the company of grownups.

BBC News: "Donald Trump says "we" are not going to kill Iran's Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - "at least not for now"

The US president says "we know exactly where" the ayatollah is - "he is an easy target, but is safe there"

But he warns "our patience is wearing thin", and then posts: "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!""

Surrender to whom? Israel doesn't have the numbers to "rule" a proud, if divided, nation state of 90m. Will Trump disavow his "no wars" policy? Won't please some of his MAGA base.
Maybe disperse the Iranians across the barren wastelands once Tehran has been gaza'd?

Has there ever been a country that has been bombed into submission? Serious Q - I can't think of one, but I guess there may be?

Kim Jong Un has been quiet recently. He's quacking in his boots as he's next on Trumps list. :shock:
A new world order is emerging. The Uk has just become the 51st state who's next. :(
