Donald Trump has insisted Iran must “open up the Strait of Trump” and complained about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize in a meandering speech at the Future Investment Initiative Institute summit in Miami, Florida.

    This is so pathetic. What an embarrassment.

    Trump will be remembered for his many crimes and ethical bankruptcy. Inevitably after he’s gone, there will be no incentive to cover for him, and the incentive will be to blame him for the terrible state in which he will leave the US economy and international relations.

    Anyone with a pulse knows that he is a child rapist. Anyone with above-room-temperature IQ knows that he was deeply involved in Epstein’s operation, acquiring, grooming, and warehousing girls. Any genuine investigation will produce evidence of that.

    He’s also single-handedly destabilised the global economy. The trillions of dollars his dumb ideas have cost everyone in productivity are just breathtaking.

    Operation Epstein Fury is probably the USA’s biggest and most costly unforced strategic error in history. The consequences will resound through the coming decades.

    The culmination of this context is that he has accelerated China’s rise to dominance and the USA’s collapse into irrelevance. As an Australian, just 2 years ago I was keen for us to cosy up to the US in the hope that the yanks would help us push back on China’s expansion of influence in the region. Honestly, now I feel more comfortable with China than I do with the US.

    It’s been really awesome having a demented old pedofile child murderer as the most powerful person in the world. Everyday I’m like I can’t wait to see how much worse it can get. We literally could have randomly picked any crackhead in America and they would have been a better president.

    Oh, another “meandering speech”? It should be “meandering, hateful, lying” and maybe a few more adjectives. Refering only to his dementia is not enough.

    I can imagine the Don’s thought process here (he’s as transparent as a 5-year-old): Google trends says the term “Hormuz” is more popular than my name right now. Need to change it.

    He’s sooo upset about not winning it. I don’t think he realizes that he will get to suffer this same humiliation every year. He’s making it so much harder on himself by bringing it up all the time.

    Unless he’s trying to send some weird message to the committee that he’ll end the war if they give him the award?

    Trump is desperate to get his name on everything before he dies. He’s always been desperate to get his name on things, and now that he’s getting older and more infirm, he positively reeks of desperation.

    But I suspect that the future historians won’t be kind to him and eventually we’ll get his name off of everything and his only real legacy will be in every list of history’s worst American Presidents.

      I read another commenter in another thread recently call it Damnatio Memoriae, a process often revealed in archaeology and / or ancient history whereby successors or the populace try to scrub a ruler from history.

      Back in the oil baron days they’d just fund a building for the public like a hospital or school but I guess he’s too broke for that.

    Watch, somehow he will claim victory for when this war ends, and then promptly add it to the dubious list of wars he’s ended during his presidency.

    They just need to declare that the award no longer exists. That’s all the winners there will ever be. Thanks for playing everyone!
