What has Trump done now?

[nomadpete]

The saga of the green reflecting pool is classic trumpfook.

 

First he personally gave the repair contract to a buddy.

Then he insisted it painted a darker colour in spite of the known fact that dark = warmer = faster algae growth.

 

Then within 10 days the water turned warm & green and they tipped insufficient Hydrogen Peroxide in. Then the blue Epoxy paint started to peel off & float about in the green water.

Then we hear about another contract to fix all this....

 

the National Park Service contracted not only the coating and painting of the pool under a no-bid contract, but also an additional $1.7 million contract for a water purification system.

That no-bid contract went to a firm whose ultimate owner is the J.J. Cafaro Investment Trust, led by Trump donor John J. Cafaro, whose wife chaired the 2017 International Red Cross Ball at Mar-a-Lago and who lives near Mar-a-Lago at a mansion that is listed as the water treatment company’s address in Florida corporate records. The name of the firm is Greenwater Services.

 

What? He hired Greenwater Services?....

 

 If only he'd thought to hire "Bluewater Services"......

The Trump administrtation is the greatest threat to world peace, ever. Hitler, Stalin, Mao and many others don't hold a candle to him. What is a further worry are the warhawks controlling the US military. Trump's threats to Iran are nothing more than extortion. And if Israel isn't hauled in, teh Middle East will still be a bubbling cauldron.

 

Have you caught up with the new QANTAS route to London beginning late next year? It is a non-stop flight to London, avoiding the need for a stop in teh Middle East, of even overflying that part of the world.

He just said the Iranian negotiators will be lucky to Make it Back to IRAN. This bloke should be in a Padded Cell. He's Stark Raving MAD.  Nev

Trump is supported by utterly incompetent imbeciles such as J.D. Vance, who the Iranians have played like a fiddle at the peace talks in Switzerland. The Americans arrived early, and went in first to the negotiating room, giving the Iranians the pyschological edge. As seasoned negotiation veterans have said, the losing party is the first to enter the room, the victors enter last.

 

Then the negotiations have stalled at every turn, with the Iranians knowing full well they're playing with a handful of aces. When asked if the U.S. was demanding a full and total end to Iran's nuclear programme, Vance only said, "Oh yes, we'll be negotiating an end to their nuclear programme" - like it was now of secondary importance.

 

If the U.S. really were the winners here, they'd demand the end to Iran's nuclear programme as a primary and non-negotiable demand. Vance is a totally incompetent f****** loser, he couldn't negotiate his way out of a paper bag.

He's used to Holding ALL the Cards, so he's not good in a real world. Nev

The Iran peace talks in Switzerland aren’t going too well because Trump keeps posting threats about blowing Iran up if the negotiators don’t comply with what he wants. The Iranians are correctly pointing out that the threats violate the first item on Trump’s own agreement and are threatening to walk away, and Vance can’t do much to negotiate because his boss keeps pulling the rug out from under him.

His Niece, Mary Trump who is a Psychologist reckons he's in deep trouble because of his cognitive decline and has been taught to NEVER admit defeat by his obsessive Father. There's no way to predict how he will act as he FAILS and becomes more desperate and unloved. Nev

[rgmwa]

Trump has no cards. I’ve heard that before somewhere. Now, where was that?

[facthunter]

It's "Clothes" but no one will tell him, because you can't TELL HIM anything.. Nev

[rgmwa]

He’s out of clothes too except for his MAGA cap which is also looking a bit worse for wear.

[facthunter]

I wouldn't like to see him "Out of clothes".. He doesn't have a BODY Like a Greek God.  The King has No Clothes, (But no one is game to tell him), Aptly describes the situation we have Now with Trump. Nev

I think Meloni (who is not a particularly nice person herself) has made the political calculation that in most of the world, including Italy, it's more palatable with the voters to stand up to Trump rather than lick his arse.

This is good, because if even right wing politicians realise this, then centrists and left leaning ones should definitely realise it.

I think the clown is going to find out that he's not going to get a lot of respect or time from other world leaders any more.

[facthunter]

He won't handle that well ,and therein lies the bigger problem. How'd you like to be living in IRAN.? about 90 million people do. Nev

Good. The sooner he blows a fuse the better.

A visibly insane Trump is probably the only thing that would get the politically lethargic US voters to kick him and the Republicans out.  I don't think even the useless lackeys he's surrounded himself with would follow his orders if he told them to nuke Germany or something.

[rgmwa]

Except for Hegseth.

[facthunter]

He's a loose Cannon that bloke. According to him we are at Armageddon. Like Ronnie Raygun's "WE are in the Last days". Religious fruit loops worry me the Most. Baby Bush said" God Speaks through My lips".   Born again reformed Drug addict. with barely adequate brain cells to tell the time of day. Nev.  

[Marty_d]

I saw a woman protesting something Dubya had done, holding a sign saying "Bush is another word for 'c**t' ".

Wonder what that makes the meaning of "Trump"?
