The Donald Trump thread

Re: The Donald Trump thread

What we should not have done is remove HMS Endurance from the Falklands.


"In January 1982, Mrs Thatcher wrote to the Tory MP Richard Needham, defending the decision to scrap the only British warship in the vicinity of the Falklands, HMS Endurance. The government needed to save money.
Three months later, with Endurance in the wrong place and the Falklands under Argentine occupation, her government was plunged into what contemporaries saw as the worst overseas crisis since the loss of the Suez Canal".

The Royal Navy left Malta in 1979 for the last time. One week later the Libyan navy moved in and took over all of our assets.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Staying on topic, Donald has confused me again, wasn’t it last week he was telling our fake Tory sir kier that the war was over, we didn’t need a boat, now he trying to blackmail the whole of nato into helping out by sending lots of boats…..you do wonder if he has any clue what he’s doing from day to day, very much like our sludge.

From Truth Social:

@realDonaldTrump
The United States has been informed by most of our NATO “Allies” that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran, in the Middle East, this, despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon. I am not surprised by their action, however, because I always considered NATO, where we spend Hundreds of Billions of Dollars per year protecting these same Countries, to be a one way street — We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need. Fortunately, we have decimated Iran’s Military — Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti-Aircraft and Radar is gone and perhaps, most importantly, their Leaders, at virtually every level, are gone, never to threaten us, our Middle Eastern Allies, or the World, again! Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer “need,” or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

That reads a lot like someone trying to convince themselves that there is a plan. I think we've gone way past the point where anyone could pretend that there is method in the madness. He's not doing a 'bit' ,we genuinely do have a leader of the free world this incompetent .
On the plus side ,it will be nice for everyone's grandkids to get the chance to learn Chinese.

If you study his history, you'll see that he's always been 'incompetent".


The only things that he was competent at were settling out of court payments, to the parents of kids that he had raped or sodomised and snorting industrial strength quantities of cocaine.

That last habit has left him with bowels so damaged, that whenever he farts, he follows through.

The persin always waiting in the wings, with clean bundies and a fresh pair of trousers, has got a job for life.

Re 'Their airforce has gone'.

Phantom 4 jets! They were the only Phantom 4 jets left flying in the world. Most of them were older than .....

They were old, when the US 'gifted' them to the late Shah's airforce, purely for training and display.

His young son would play with one over the skies of Tehran, of a summers afternoon.

He's a pensioner now, never done a day's work in his life. Spent the last 47 years, living off the money that the Shah stole from the people of Iran.
The Israeli's have had him snogging the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, so he's the Netanyahu/Trump choice to run Iran.

He's got an Ology in debauchery, so he must be qualified.

Greenland's answer to MAGA hats.

The 'Nu het NUUK' slogan on the hats is a play on words, 'Nu het nok' meaning the equivalent of "That's enough" with the town name of Nuuk being substituted for the word 'nok' (enough) i.e. "That's eNUUK", as it were. Well it works as a pun in the local tongue anyway is
