”I think you would have nuclear holocaust, if I didn’t deal with North Korea,” he explained, and then added: “And I think you might have a nuclear war now, if you want to know the truth.”
It is still worth remembering that Obama tried to work with North Korea, but the Republicans shamed him because they said he should only meet with them if they agreed to get rid of their nukes.
Trump did nothing to protect the world from North Korea, but gave Kim Jong-Un a nice photo op to help legitimize his power.
And saluted north Korean generals
Well have we tried becoming North Korea? That would definitely avoid North Korea from launching jukes at us. /s
Do you know how to tell when politicians are being hypocritical? When they open thier mouth. You could do literally nothing but point out hypocrisys of poloticians all day for your entire adult life and never run out. It is the equivalent of saying “bruh”.
The both-sides-narrative only helps the far-right.
(serious) could you expound on what you mean by this?
Personally, I think both sides have their issues, but the issues the right has are waaaay worse than the issues the left has.
So just saying “both sides have issues” makes it a binary argument when the degrees of how negative their issues are really matters.
Two possibilities:
-
Apathy - people stop voting for parties that can be a counterweight to the far right.
-
Abbreviated analysis/Feelings over facts - people are more likely to fall for politicians presenting themselves as underdogs who are going to revolutionise the political landscape, which is a strategy fascists like to use. “Drain the swamp” is a perfect example for that, and if I remember correctly, there were a lot of potential Sanders supporters who voted for Trump. I know both are more or less opposites, but both provided a canvas for people’s feelings that “politicians are all the same” and that fundamental change needs to happen. The latter is true, but with proper analysis shouldn’t lead to voting for the far right.

Don’t see why this is down voted so much. People spend way too much time focusing on hypocrisy. It’s freaking boring and it sways absolutely no one’s opinion
Because the political parties andvthe media want them to focus on how the other side is bad. For tge poloticians it means they don’t have to do much good. For the media it sells. And by the vote differences you can tell how few people realky get that. But in all honesty, it is human nature to have such a tribe mentality.
Thank god he negotiated a peace deal with the hurricane at the last minute.
Why do you think Idalia ravaged Florida? It’s because Trump wasn’t president with his magic sharpie… Obviously.
I averted bank robbery….by not robbing the bank.
And America thanks you
Hes not wrong. We almost did have nuclear war.
Because of his stupidity and assholery toward North Korea.
That wasn’t even close to a nuclear war. The real threat was nuking the hurricanes. Just imagine what could have happened if Atlantis retaliated. /s
…Florida sinks into the sea? I’m good with that.
Give it a couple more years. Climate change is going to make each and every hurricane that hits Florida a Cat 5. Hell, the water might even get so hot they will invent a new Cat 6!
I rememeber when the Richter scale for earthquakes went to 5….
In any case… soon:tm: Florida will mostly be under water. Literally
No, we didn’t. At no point in any of our presidents’ tenures was North Korea a nuclear threat, regardless of how the US or that president was treating them.
That’s just patently untrue. They’ve never been capable of ICBM’s but they have nuclear attack subs that Naval ASW sorties have been tracking for years because they can just pull up to the coast and start firing nukes.
In fact submarines are the most realistic nuclear threat we have, the time between launch and detonation is mere minutes compared to the orbital flight time of an ICBM.
Having nukes is not the same as a nuclear threat. India and Pakistan have nukes, but neither are nuclear threats. China has nukes and is not a nuclear threat.
Alright, I’ll tell ONI that they’re wasting their time keeping tabs on a country with nukes and just enough deranged to potentially try to use them.
North Korea is not a threat and never will be a threat unless attacked. They are just hungry and making a show. Fucking Americans man…
Hey now, most Americans know NK is not a threat. Just not the dumbass ex president.
I know that, and you know that, but you’re talking about a guy that seriously considered nuking a hurricane.
It’s like watching Cartman come up with crazier and crazier stories as he takes credit for the fish sticks joke
And friends of mine have said, you are the most honest person in the world.
LMFAO. Does the world have recorded audio or recorded video of any other human being in the history of humanity making more provably false statements than trump? No. If there was a Guinness world record for lying, trump would be the record holder.
Trump narrowly averted a nuclear holocaust… by forgetting how the Football works.
I averted nuclear holocaust because I couldn’t remember the codes for it
In this article: lying liar lies.
