Turns out, he was weak on security, so bullet dodged

Everyone but Trump Understands What He's Done
Allied leaders know that any positive gesture they make will count for nothing.

"Specifically, they remember that for 14 months, the American president has tariffed them, mocked their security concerns, and repeatedly insulted them. As long ago as January 2020, Trump told several European officials that "if Europe is under attack, we will never come to help you and to support you." In February 2025, he told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he had no right to expect support either, because "you don't have any cards." Trump ridiculed Canada as the "51st state" and referred to both the present and previous Canadian prime ministers as "governor." He claimed, incorrectly,that allied troops in Afghanistan "stayed a little back, a little off the front lines," causing huge offense to the families of soldiers who died fighting after NATO invoked Article 5 of the organization's treaty, on behalf of the United States, the only time it has done so. He called the British "our once-great ally," after they refused to participate in the initial assault on Iran; when they discussed sending some aircraft carriers to the Persian Gulf conflict earlier this month, he ridiculed the idea on social media: "We don't need people that join Wars after �we've already won!"

At times, the ugly talk changed into something worse. Before his second inauguration, Trump began hinting that he wouldn't rule out using force to annex Greenland, a territory of Denmark, a close NATO ally. At first this seemed like a troll or a joke; by January 2026, his public and private comments persuaded the Danes to prepare for an American invasion. Danish leaders had to think about whether their military would shoot down American planes, kill American soldiers, and be killed by them, an exercise so wrenching that some still haven't recovered. In Copenhagen a few weeks ago, I was shown a Danish app that tells users which products are American, so that they know not to buy them. At the time it was the most popular app in the country.

He raised tariffs on Switzerland because he didn't like the Swiss president, then lowered them after a Swiss business delegation brought him presents, including a gold bar and a Rolex watch. He threatened to place 100 percent tariffs on Canada should Canada dare to make a trading agreement with China. Unbothered by possible conflicts of interest, he conducted trade negotiations with Vietnam, even as his son Eric Trump was breaking ground on a $1.5 billion golf-course deal in that country."

at least we were well prepared for this war:

Well, at the very least we refilled the Strategic Oil Reserve while prices were low before Israel yanked our collar and said, "sit"!

Ope, nevermind.

[Billy Hoyle]

I don't understand why our European allies won't help us in Iran? What did the US ever do to them?

SO glad I already finished drinking my coffee before reading this. I would have spilled it all over myself! 

 Absolutely hilarious and spot on of our oh-so-brave and tough Commander-in-Chief.

I don't know that I've ever seen someone that is more of a parody of himself that Whisky Pete. Truly. Colin Jost isn't half as over the top playing Pete as Pete is himself in real life.

Again, OF COURSE, Trump nominated an incompetent based on his 100% loyalty, but the Senators that voted to confirm this fool...

Chump change compared to the $200B EXTRA they want for the Peace President's latest war of choice.

It's just a few pennies.  What's the big deal?

Hopefully, when the Idiot sends more troops, they will be led by Barron. Unless of course, he is too busy, as his father was during Vietnam, fighting the brave battle against STDs.

In a 1997 Howard Stern Show interview, Donald Trump described his dating life during the 1980s AIDS epidemic as his "personal Vietnam," specifically citing the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Trump, who cowardly received five draft deferments during the actual Vietnam War, called himself a "brave soldier" for navigating the dating scene at that time.

And exposing raging hypocrisy.  He's done that in spades. 

Fiscal conservatism?  Fraudulent

Religious morality?  Fraudulent

Executive overreach?  Fraudulent

Constitutional absolution?  Fraudulent

A few pennies, $1.10/gallon more from one month ago. Tomato/Tomato. Thank you for my sacrifice, Dear Leader.

From the people who brought you "Mexico will pay for the wall," comes the long-awaited sequel, "Iran will pay for the war."

Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) concocted a novel funding mechanism for the $200 billion the White House says it is seeking to continue the war on Iran: having the Iranians pay for it.
