It was, as was his meeting with Orban. But as we’ve seen many times, trump is apparently immune to prosecution.
I loath Trump but he isn't the only president to get special privileges, he just sucks at covering it up or he doesn't care.
Magneto was the there so it was ok.
Trump is already resembling Maduro, making threats if he loses the election.
He said the same thing about Hillary. He said the same thing about Biden.
But this time he's for realsies!
Yeah remember when he lost to Biden and then nothing happened and he and his supporters participated in a completely peaceful transfer of power just like normal?
I'm pretty sure that WWIII didn't then follow that event, which is the point. Trump has been consistently saying a nuclear war will happen if you don't elect him since 2016.
Very true. I personally think electing Trump is probably more likely to lead to an escalation of global tensions.
Yeah, this World War III thing is an old one from him.
An old one from a demented old one.
He's been doing it for almost a decade.
Guys, guys, relax, maybe he just means a "third-world" war.
America is a third world country with a Gucci belt.
America is fifty bickering cats stacked up in a trenchcoat.
... With enough nuclear weapons to glass a hemisphere.
How dare you!! We have enough nuclear weapons to glass both hemispheres.
Twice if we use them right.
The term “third-world” has been replaced with “developing nation.” The US was downgraded to a developing nation by the UN.
Why use many word when few do trick
Why the hell is this man who does not hold public office and is not an official representative of the United States meeting with world leaders at all?
If it was literally anybody else, even Obama, they'd be getting questioned by the FBI and DoJ right about now
I 100% refuse to agree that a candidate asshole like Trump should have access ever again to top secret information. Specially when they are not president yet, and hopefully won't be.
Lol what
It's opposite day in Trump world, again. What he means is that if he wins the election and allows Russia to win in Ukraine as he absolutely will, the Baltics and Taiwan are next, probably simultaneously so that NATO is overwhelmed and the whole world is forced into this century's first world war.
But of course, he will spin this as "fostering peace" with China and Russia, because presidents who don't simply Art of the Deal their way out of wars (read: selling off countries that aren't theirs) are losers. The whole "oh no we're in a war now" thing will be studiously avoided until the next election, or at least the US getting involved in such a war, because then it's some other sucker's problem.
Desperation and soiled diapers.
A pungent pairing.
Did you know that Trump’s shit is orange?
Drank his own Kool-Aid
Maybe a wannabe second civil war. The third world war will come when he gets into the white house.
They'll use legal mechanisms like civil asset forfeiture and "crime free housing" to continue going after people they don't like. They can kick you out of your home and then take your kids away for it and then send them to a religious orphanage or foster family where they will be forced to work.
This time America will get to be on team fascism.
The gravy seals being stomped by the US Military hardly counts as a third world war, Trump
Or civil for that matter.
Yea but they plan to call in General Custard and the green bean berets, with air support by the Blue Angel hair pastas.
Trump has some serious narcissism going on.
That fuckhead is nothing but a shit talking liar with every breath he exhales. Pathological is too polite a term for it.
He’s as dumb as he is fat
And he's as fat as he is orange.
You and what army Trump?
(Finally, an opportunity to set that unironically)
Reeks of desperation.
And who's gonna sling nukes on that day, Trump? Because you ain't got the codes and Vlad sure ain't sticking his neck out for you.
They can go to the front lines first.
I guess he doesn't count it as a world war if we have already capitulated to Russia before the war starts?
You mean if he wins. Either way I guess
