"I've got to get Israel to calm down now," Trump said as he left the White House. "Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen. They've been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing."

Also "They've been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing." is a major broken clock moment.

That's not really true though, most dictators are hired to fix something and end up wildly inept at it. Hitler was meant to get of immigrant labor and fix the economy, he ruined the economy and didn't really succeed at the immigrant thing to get just suddenly became free extremely expendable labor and the test he have to friends that wouldn't raise a stink an not how badly he's fucked them up.

They're almost to a man extremely convincing and personable liars.

There's an argument for that.

Trump also has *incredible* political capital. He can literally do no wrong with his base, strongarm congress, and ignore opposition; it gives him paths any other sitting president wouldn't even dream of.

This is the seductive charm of dictators. They're really effective at, and generally put in power to clean up messes, or cut through dysfunctional, stagnant political systems.

He should probably not have participated in the bombing of Iran then. Him trying to act as some kind of neutral arbiter right now is completely insane, when he has just dropped bombs on one side of the conflict. This is not how anything works.

I tend to agree with you. At the back of my mind, I'm wondering if Trump has the chaotic energy to accidentally break up calcified conflicts and actually make a difference on this one

u/Doorbook@lemmy.world · 16 points

So far, they violated every single ceasefire and yet they claim victims, amazing …

Very strange to hear the truth come out of that mouth.

I think he needs a reboot.

u/Contentedness@lemmy.nz · 41 points

It's the only time I've heard him say something that sounded like honesty. Very strange. I laughed out loud.

u/Boxscape@lemmy.sdf.org · 10 points

I honestly to goodness can't think of the last time I heard Trump drop an F bomb.

I got some O'Reilly vibes too.

He's actually trying to make them destroy each other so his handlers for the UAE can fill the power vacuum afterwards.

u/Bieren@lemmy.world · 21 points

I’m still trying to figure out how he will bow down to Israel and a Russian backed Iran. How does he not piss off his handlers for either country.

An old idiot who’s already limited mental faculties are declining further with no one around to keep him in check.

"The biggest load that we've seen."

Joking aside fuck Trump and fuck Israel. As someone prone to speaking in hyperbolic speech, I'm tired of hyperbole.

u/fluxion@lemmy.world · 80 points

Trump is flabbergasted that Israel did the same shit we did over the weekend, after Trump started talking about regime change.

Watch as Trump now spends the next 3 years bending over for Netanyahu just like he did for Putin.

Weak.

I believe this is the harshest criticism that any sitting US president had made of israel since Clinton's _private_

who's the fucking superpower here

u/Blackmist@feddit.uk · 53 points

Stop the war. No more bombs.

Oh, sorry, there should have been some punctuation in there.

Stop the war? No, more bombs!

"They’ve been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”

I honestly to goodness can't think of the last time I heard Trump drop an F bomb. I think he's actually rather cross with them

>"... they don't know what the fuck they're doing."

He always was a master of projection.

Remember when Israel kept yanking the football away from the Biden administration every time that Biden announced new Gaza ceasefire talks? At this point, you'd have to be a fucking fool to believe a word that slithers out of Nettanyahu's head. Israel is working damn hard on burning as much political capital as it possibly can as fast as it can. Of course, they're not doing it to do something cool like fighting climate change or build a moon base, it's simply to murder as many people as they can as fast as they can.

u/cygnus@lemmy.ca · 23 points

Trump is so used to declaring bankruptcy that he thought declaring a ceasefire worked the same way, something you do unilaterally.

u/zephorah@lemm.ee · 16 points

It’s the most cognizant thing I think I’ve heard him say. The “fuck” pulls it together and makes him sound almost normal.

Almost.

'never seen before'. TFG talks in superlatives with a bare minimum of cognitive ability.

"Master Negotiator" right there, folks! Gaze upon the Art of the Deal, and weep tears of inadequacy.

Israel need to keep dragging the US into war, its the only way they can continue to grow and become greater Israel in the hopes that they can become the next super power, they will discard the US once they have wasted all of their military power.
