He blamed the attack on the “rigged” 2020 election, aired his personal gripes with Netanyahu, and praised Hezbollah for being “very smart.”

Trump’s remarks do make sense once you realize he’s a narcissist devoid of empathy who can’t help but praise the side he thinks is “winning.” But yes, it still is kind of shocking that a person like that was president and has a good shot at being reelected.

    Yeah, that’s his gimmick. This is like printing an article that Stone Cold Steve Austin drinks beer and hands out stunners. The people who don’t know don’t give a shit, and the people who give a shit already know

      Because they’re not poised to lead our nation into a new era of fascism.

      Be the change you want to be my dude! If reading about weird al is what your heart desires, post weird al!

      The reason why people like trump and musk get posted a lot is because they are still influencing politics, especially in the US. Additionally, until Trump is formally convicted and (hopefully) struck from the ballot, he’s still running for president and still poses a threat to the US.

        … and the rest of the world.
        If you are an ally of the US, Trump has proven that the relationship means nothing to him and he has no problem removing us from NATO and all other pacts. The world should be concerned.

      Why are you complaining about a post about the presumed frontrunner on the Republican side of the U.S. presidential election in a community devoted to U.S. politics?

      Do you go to Lemmy Shitpost and complain that people need to stop with all the jokes?

      Don’t click on the link? Or post about weird Al in a political forum for whatever reason weird Al would be in a political forum? Lemmy actually is pretty easy to self moderate. So if you don’t want political things then it’s really easy to block them.
