President Donald Trump said he is “strongly considering” issuing large-scale sanctions and tariffs on Russia to get a ceasefire and settlement deal on the table to end the war in Ukraine.

      I feel like he doesn’t really understand most of what is happening but he just says the first thing that comes to mind when he hears stuff.

      This is something happening in Europe as well though, you’ve probably noticed it if you follow Dutch politics. There are these people who just yell out stuff that sounds pretty good but once action has to be taken, they find out it’s never as simple as they’d imagined it to be. The end result is they get nothing done and their disillusioned voters are too stubborn to admit that they were susceptible to populism.

      That was established a long time ago

      The ones who are completely out of their minds are the whole US government and the American people who chose this moron to represent and lead them.

      No greater fool that the person or people who chose to follow a fool.

      Yes, he’s been exhibiting clear signs of dementia since like 2016, and it’s only progressed since then. The man isn’t even competent enough to tie his shoes without adult supervision.

      He needs to be in a nursing home, not running the country.

        Medical care in prison is better than not having insurance. He can go to prison and tell the COs he’s going to tariff the commissary.

      Yes, but he still is useful for the elite. He makes a big mess, they rich buy the parts for cheap and privatize them.
