Re: The Donald Trump thread

Surely you're not saying the whole thing was a hoax planned by the Democrats?

Donald is saying it’s a hoax, so it must be true

Maybe it is a progression?

Egotist. Senile. Senile egotist?

Re: The Donald Trump thread

I'm not sure that OMB has gone down well with his base this week, looking to Blair for a Middle east role and cozying up to Pfizer to the tune of 70 Billion isn't a good look!!! although many of them seem to be rejoicing at their government having a shut down and the ability to bin a large tranche of the federal government, which of course will be Democratic centric.

I may be jumping of the fence soon, which may surprise a few people.

Have you finished triangulating, joining the dots and absorbing the collective wisdom of your best alt-right gurus?

Be careful - it's a cruel world away from your fence!

More or less, only a few more data points to go

Re: The Donald Trump thread

A group advocating for the return of hostages held in Gaza have urged the Nobel Prize Committee to award the Nobel Peace Prize to the US president, Donald Trump, for what they called his unprecedented contributions to global peace.

“At this very moment, President Trump’s comprehensive plan to release all remaining hostages and finally end this terrible war is on the table,” the families wrote.

“For the first time in months, we are hopeful that our nightmare will finally be over.”

Trump has previously complained multiple times about not receiving the Nobel peace prize, an award which four of his predecessors, including Barack Obama, have received.

The winner of this year’s Nobel Prize Peace Prize will be announced on Friday.

The US, under both the Trump and Biden administrations, have fuelled Israel’s war – considered a genocide by many experts – by providing it with vast amounts of lethal weapons and diplomatic cover on the international stage.

World's gone mad if Donald J Trump doesn't get the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. After all he bombed Iran, fuelled the genocide in Gaza and ended the notorious Albania-Azerbaijan War. Achievements like that shouldn't go unrecognised.

And don't forget Pakistan nominated him for ending the recent India-Pakistan conflict - although India insist he did absolutely nothing but annoy a few Heads of State with rambling phone calls! They ended the conflict themselves , without 'help' from anyone.

NB - The Trump 'Peace Plan' for Gaza is not a plan - it is a one way ultimatum backed by 20 bullet points with no substance behind them. Iran, not to be outdone by Pakistan, has praised the Trump 'Peace Plan'. Even the most brutal theocratic dictatorships have a sense of humour!

If he can deliver peace in so divisive a war then he probably does, especially so if he could in Ukraine too.

What does peace mean to you?

If it is just an end to the killing - the first step followed by massive injection of aid and the release of Israeli and Palestinian hostages - Trump could have done that in the first weeks of his administration, as Biden could have done before him.

Peace surely means a political settlement that offers the best chance of security and justice to all the people of Israel and Palestine.

The Trump Plan doesn’t do that. If you can call it a plan.

But he is desperate to get that prize!

You mean deliver peace whilst also being complicit in the thousands of Palestinian deaths and starvation since the beginning of the year?
