Allow me for a moment to imagine a hypothetical Trump interview in which he is asked "so are we gonna bill Israel for services rendered, or did we do it for free?"

How does Trump respond?

He's not framing it as an obseqious favor for Israel, that's just how we see it on the Internet. He would say Iran cannot have a nuke while chanting death to America, etc etc as usual

I'm related to a whole lot of them. With rare exception they have never met or interacted with an actual Jewish person in their entire lives. Jews are mythical beings to Evangelicals, like Hobbits. They exist only in books and films like Fiddler on the Roof, the Chosen, and all that other other dispensationalist crap.

I was having a conversations with my evangelical coworker the last week when this all picked up and he was genuinely happy and supportive of it specifically because of christian revelations. Real ends justify the means type people.

We stopped producing that "business playboy" archetype. He's the fading icon of it, maybe the last good character the boomers will give us. Like Elon is ~20 years Trump's junior, but has none of that playboy high luck stat investment. He's just a more autistic and spergy business guy. Bezos, Zuckerberg, good fucking lord — it's not even a comparison — zero charisma or panache, zero luck in the sense of like a Homeric character, just bug people. A metonym for how the whole country's going.

The fat orange conman really is something huh.

I'm just amazed at how you can do something that on paper sounds so retarded and it just works out. The luck stat on this man is like 900+

I don't blame anyone for dooming, but you still need to wear the burger suit for not trusting the plan.

Yup. He's definitely a dumbass and you're way smarter than him.

That's why you're a billionaire. And president also probably.

Soon we'll have no reason to care about politics when Democrats win every election from this point on.

No, itll just bounce back and forth forever. Some young, power hungry senator might attempt to inherit Trumps legacy, but more likely than not we'll just see the parties continue to pretend to hate eachother while they agree on everything "important" and the taxpayers are financially raped. I always knew Trump was full of shit due to his actions in favor of the tiny hats, so none of this is entirely new, but god damn am I disappointed. His actions during his first term weren't even this retarded. You can't seriously say you've fulfilled any campaign promises when war with Russia is ongoing and the US is entering yet another bloody conflict with no plan beyond some vague idea of regime change.

These faggots have done the same thing my entire life, its always the same playbook. It doesn't work anymore, nobody wants to get PTSD and then recieve shit quality healthcare for the rest of their livrs from the same government that sent them to fight these pointless wars in the first place. Cheering this on is retarded, peace is always preferable to instability and chaos.

The amount of libs that one second ago was saying Trump will cause world war 2 now begging for Iran to break the crease fire is funny. Trump breaks people that they support Islam above what they actually support.

They support literally anything that is or has the potential to be in opposition to Trump. Anything to be a gotcha or to cast him in a bad light. The line about him being hated for curing cancer is not hyperbole, that would happen 100%.

I know no one but me still cares, but I still gotta rant into here.

I still harp on about jobcorp because the people I knew who went to it were people that had fucked up situations and didn't really have another option available to them. In other words, it was actively taking people out of the welfare system that would have been a negative against the US tax system into workers we need for our economy.

That is how the welfare system should work. Assisting people to eventually get out of the system, and into positions that earn more and create a more productive economy? Whay has this flat out disappeared from the conversation? It's always about the poor niggers that don't have a job or work atthe seven eleven, instead of asking why they are working there when we are trying to push the onshoring of factories?

Yeah and it's just short-term concern trolling usually. Something briefly looks bad for Trump, they flood the thread like they just got high off a drug. I think I may just save "Remember when Biden was gonna cure cancer as President? Damn, now he's dying of dick cancer. How's the cancer cure coming Fatpacks? Will it be here any day now?" to a notepad file and paste it as a reply to all his rhetorical concern trolling questions in the future.
