Y U not admire?
So apparently Trump is mad at us because we’re not impressed by his diplomatic chops.
“I am totally convinced that if Russia raised their hands and said, ‘We give up, we concede, we surrender, we will GIVE Ukraine and the great United States of America, the most revered, respected, and powerful of all countries, EVER, Moscow and St. Petersburg, and everything surrounding them for a thousand miles,’ the Fake News Media and their Democrat Partners would say that this was a bad and humiliating day for Donald J. Trump, one of the worst days in the history of our Country,” he wrote on Truth Social Monday.
So his point is that Russia is the injured party here? Meaning, Ukraine invaded Russia, not the other way around? Has no one told him the facts?
“But that’s why they are the FAKE NEWS, and the badly failing Radical Left Democrats. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!”
Erm. I knew he was abusing that “thank you for your attention” catchphrase but I didn’t realize he doesn’t even get that it’s the punchline to an order or demand that somebody do something. It’s the punchline to “Pay up!” or “Get out!” or “Give it back!” or “Go fuck yourself!” It’s not the punchline to “Here’s what they’re doing!” or “I hate them!!!” It’s a passive-aggressive emphasis that accompanies a “Do this or else.”

DJT is an entire yellow-cheeked gibbon’
“Decline and Fall of the American Empire,” all by his lonesome.
Wait. Did Putin offer this? No? Then it’s not relevant to the media discussing Trump’s willingness to sacrifice Ukraine, and his weakness and wavering in dealing with Putin’s demands. They’re allowed to point out duplicity and weakness. They’re supposed to criticize the administration for this. That Trump is giving them fodder to do exactly that is entirely his own fault. Admiration comes from doing things that are admirable. Has Trump ever done anything that is actually admirable? That ledger is very thin, with lots of blank pages.
“Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!” – It’s Donald’s clap + fire emoji.
maddog, what exactly do you have against yellow-cheeked gibbons? I imagine any self-respecting gibbon would be ashamed to be caught acting like the Donald.
iknklast, as a representative of the Australian Communinny, I am advising you that you are now On Notice that you are straying very close to causing Severe Angst to Australians. I say this with respect to your recent use of the term ‘the Donald’ to refer to Donald Trump. You are hereby informed that there is already a singular Donald: The Don, referring to Donald Bradman. Continued use of this term risks conflating the two, which would cause harm – yes, even Severe Harm – to the reputation of one of our favourite dead guys.
Gravely policing your future communications and liked posts,

I’d be perfectly willing to give him credit as a magic dealmaker if he talked the Neo-Soviets into such an arrangement (that was honored); maybe he should’ve attempted it. Glad he’s feeling humiliated though…
Oh dear, the stable genius doesn’t seem to realise that persuading Putin to back off and return to the old borders, would in fact likely get him the Nobel Peace prize he seems to covet so much:) and won’t get otherwise!
