Mr Trump threatens the lives of former presidents

tpr

"Checks and balances."

Hope he loses the midterms so there is some more check and balance.

This is becoming a pattern.

The pattern of your simping has been well established

I'm not going to debate somebody else's over-reaction or lack of humor

If a kid threatened other kids at school or a coworker threatens other workers the cops come & that person faces consequences.

Nevermind that there is zero humor value in the comment.

Now Trump buys 2.25 million barrels of diesel engine oil from Russia so as to aid Russia in its war against Ukraine.

You think he bought diesel to "help Russia" ?

Everything has to be spun in the most negative fashion possible?

Have you noticed that diesel prices are up (one of the temporary costs of protecting against nuclear proliferation), so this will help his countrymen by lowering prices? Trump actually tries to help his country and not just talk.

And the quoted statement actually threatens nobody; and it would be difficult for anyone who isn't trying to score political points to see the quoted statement as an actual, present threat. To the contrary, it's a statement noting that he DIDN'T harm them. Read it again.

I "could have" gone to Brazil yesterday. But I didn't. Get the point? I'm not in Brazil.

Several of Trump's opponents have made statements, before the camera, that create threats which are far more coherently threatening. As, for example, telling crowds that they should "get in the face" of Trump supporters.

But if pearls will be clutched, pearls will be clutched. Even though Trump did nothing to any of his opponents that is remotely like what has been done to him.

They're not even demonstrating lol.

In Albania this summer like 20% of the entire country showed up at demionstrations just because Jared Kushner and Ivanka bribed politicians to buy a protected island.

Because the Albanians actually care about theit country. The Americans don't, Trump can just run it into the ground and they won't do a thing to stop him.

Trump ISN'T running his country into the ground. To the contrary. I suggest you study the actual metrics.

I've given them before. Sorry if you haven't, or can't, take advantage of them.

Reportedly, the highest number of Americans in history are working right now, at the highest yet real wage, the stock market is up and there are huge amounts of investment pouring into America. Perhaps if you live in Canada or elsewhere, you don't know that. But don't believe me: just check.

A wall of propaganda is still a wall to understanding.

Fallacy. Maybe Donald SS Jenniffer is desperatly trying to save his ass close to midterm ?

Are you denying the result is more terror against innocent civilians in Ukraine ?

And by the way according to an expert :

Tim Armitage, investment strategist at Quilter Cheviot, said the numbers mentioned by Trump were "relatively small".

He said the first tranche equated to approximately 2.25 million barrels, and daily US consumption was around 3.8 million barrels, "so it won't make a material difference to pump prices in the US".

"You think he bought diesel to help Russia?"

Yes, to help his good friend Putin with whom he previously traded Ukraine for Venezuela.

"Have you noticed that diesel prices are up"

Yes, because of the stupid and illegal attack on Iran.

"Read it again."

'I can do whatever I want' No checks or balances.

Trump is president of the United States. He tries to help HIS country. That's his job.

Remember when Democrats started using up the petroleum reserve to lower prices? Were the same pearls clutched then?

Personal attacks and emojis aren't a substitute for logic and fact. It's not "simping" to point out economic metrics or that the quoted statement doesn't actually threaten anybody.

"Trump is president of the United States. He tries to help HIS country. That's his job."

The country USA signed the Budapest Memorandum, guaranteeing the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
The deal of Trump to trade Venezuela for Ukraine is betrayal.
Biden gave Ukraine weapons, Trump only wanted to sell weapons if the European Union pays these.
It may be in the interest of the USA to grab the oil of Venezuela, but betraying a signature is treason.
Trump earlier threatened economic sanctions to India and China if they buy Russian oil, and now he buys Russian oil himself.
