Trump Says “I’ll Never Apologize, You’re Just Paying a Tiny Bit More”

Trump just handed the Democrats another midterm election talking point.

I’ll Never Apologize

“Trump: For you to pay a TINY little bit more for your gasoline, you’re doing it so that a very evil country cannot have a nuclear weapon. Remember that when you’re paying $4. I’ll never apologize.”

Regrets I’ve Had a Few

Epic Arrogance and Stupidity

Hello Farmers

Hello farmers, are you happy paying a tiny 46 percent more for diesel?

The stupidest thing about this “tiny percent” is that it is not just gasoline of diesel. It’s fertilizer, aluminum, copper, microchips, and everything else too.

But That’s OK

Q: Why?
A: Pretty soon Trump will be declaring the Strait of Hormuz a territory of the United States.

So, Trump is going to declare a body of water as US territory.

His Way

Trump is sure doing it his way. Unfortunately, 96% wrong.

But hey, it’s just a tiny price to pay.

First, and last thing I thought when seeing my Daily Dose of Trump is:

The next Democrat will promise change. Then transfer what’s left of the middle class’s wealth to the rich. Housing, food, cars, assets — prices will rocket. And you’ll read the headlines: GDP is great. Economy’s booming. Never mind that everyone’s broke. The numbers say “great,” so it’s great.

The Democrat will bail out the rich. Keep a forever war running. Start a new one for good measure. Then the country, exhausted and angrier, will vote in some horrific Republican. Four years of “Republicans are the greater evil.” Then the next Democrat will promise change.

Repeat. Ad nauseam.

It’s not left versus right. It’s the powerful versus the weak. Nietzsche’s genealogy of power, playing out in real time.

Yup even if the federal debt and interest expenses were all wiped away, this government would still overspend by almost 4% of the GDP. That’s the worst for any AA rated sovereign.

No, I don’t miss those guys because they were even bigger hypocrits than the Dems. They never had the balls to restructure any of the large entitlement programs, instead picking off little bits of discretionary spending, often stuff that actually mattered and did things for the greater good. Meanwhile, tax cuts for the wealthy! Maybe even the middle class might get $100 back! And thus another huge hole in the budget, those huge deficits fantasized to disappear through tax cut economic growth 😂 The last tax cut that had any meaningful long term positive effect on GDP was in 1964.

Randomness in our complex universe, with its vicious, twisty, cruel sense of humor. Trump emerged from that strange soup, a toxic cartoon character to mock all our best hopes. He is a kinder, gentler form of a life-erasing asteroid, a galling hemorrhoid on our body politic. I have never seen something so hilarious and tragic at the same time. Nero and Caligula are in that class, Even before then, the ancient Greeks would understand.

Then the Iranian nuclear bomb explodes over NYC, and the question is posed: “Happy?”.

The problem with the pro-war crowd is that they can never show away that would achieve the objective they want the war for. They can only make a, very weak, case for why they think the war should go on. But never a credible indication of how. Or how will they deal with depleted munition stocks, with an aircraft carrier they cannot supply, a strait they cannot protect, boots they cannot get on the ground, an enemy regime they have hardened away from negotiations, and no attack in the Arsenal that would make a difference. So yes, let’s keep chasing windmills and never admit a mistake.

The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, called the UK “the Islamic republic of Britain” in a podcast interview, where he also described the country as the “first Islamic republic to get a nuclear weapon”.

Just wait till Muslims in America keep winning elections and building big beautiful mosques across the country.

But Bibi is wrong, Pakistan has had nukes for a while.

One of your rare posts that are correct.

However, your observations are based on past history and as I have posted multiple times, history as we used to know it is about to change radically due to AI.

To refresh:

In the coming AI future, no one is going to be required to work to pay bills, to have a roof over their head, to eat healthfully, to get whatever medical care they need. All this will be provided for free.

Sure, you can make music, make art, make furniture if you want, write poetry, write novels, offer exercise classes, etc., etc. BUT no one is going to get paid for anything they do because money will be obsolete and again, everything will be free.   
 
The AI and its robot workers will be do all necessary work, provide everything humans need, govern the world, maintain order and allow humans to be all they can be!

There will not be any country borders, human governments, politicians, police, ICE, spies, etc. People will be able to travel where and when they please and live wherever they please.

All this freedom will continue to reduce birth rates. In fact, Ai may well implant birth control in all people at puberty and allow it to be removed for pregnancy only after an application is made.

This is only 10-20 years away, at most.

“1964 Daisy ad that Johnson successfully used”
Great example, but not for why you try to twist it: After the fantasy nuke ad, Johnson turned right around and told us the domino theory meant we must invest USA sons and daughters, blood and treasure, for years in Vietnam. Once we pulled out, the victorious North Vietnamese regime posed no further threat, then or since. The inflation era and degraded USA finances followed straight away. That started our descent to now.

I’m not saying that’s Iran now. I’m not saying there are no concerns about a nuclear Iran. I’m saying your attempted example is ludicrous. Your attempts to use history are more generally wildly off target. I’m saying we are chasing a white whale over a horizon of stupidity right now, and Trump is the most impulsive and incompetent guy I wouldn’t trust five minutes with my wallet.

Iran is ‘playing’ Trump as US election pressure mounts, says former envoy
We have more from Marc Ginsberg, former US ambassador and White House adviser.

He said President Donald Trump is ultimately being driven by domestic political pressure and the upcoming midterm elections rather than a long-term strategy.
“In the end, Donald Trump is going to do what he needs to do in order to save his soul regarding the upcoming midterm elections and his increasing loss of popularity at home,” Ginsberg told Al Jazeera.

He noted that Tehran is well aware of Washington’s internal political dynamics and is prepared to play the long game.

“The Iranians are watching the polls here,” Ginsberg said. “In the end, this Iranian regime is going to survive until the last Iranian drops dead. They intend to hold on to power, no matter how much punishment is being inflicted on the public.”
Ginsberg added that while the American public is growing “disgusted with the state of affairs”, Trump faces a dilemma because he cannot afford to admit defeat.
However, he argued that Tehran is betting on a familiar outcome.

“The Iranians are basically playing him and playing the United States,” Ginsberg said, adding that Tehran calculates Washington will eventually “walk away from all of its demands, and in the end, they’ll wind up getting sanctions relief”.

The Iranian Regime is counting on Trump being like other American presidents. That will be their fatal mistake.

Trump is certainly different: he never has a plan, and has put very incapable people in key roles. One need not look further than Hegseth!

The iranians have seen the trumpian despair very clearly.

Not at all. They expect him to continue being the bubbling incompetent line two-faced piece of shit that he has been for most of his life.

If he actually started to behave like other American presidents … Is too late for that.

Both can be true at the same time. Iran has seen the limits of America’s military power. America did it’s worse and it was not enough to bring down the regime. Trump is out of options and the clock is ticking for him. Now the Iranian regime is fucking with him.

How can you continue to post garbage like “Iran has seen the limits of America’s military power.” and not be embarrassed for your stupidity?

Our military power extends all the way up to having the ability to wipe Tehran out with a nuclear bomb.

Pray that doesn’t become necessary, say if the Iranian Regime actually did succeed in assassinating President Trump.

He won’t resort to nukes.

Well, he could. He is a narcissist and he is collapsing so it’s possible. America would be destroyed in an international context and self destruct internally but he would get attention.

That would that put him in the history books.

Welcome to the Golden Age that Trump promised us. Here’s a few of his promises:

He would never start a foreign war.
He would lower gas, energy and food prices by 50%.
He would bring back manufacturing jobs.
His tariffs would bring in so much money that he would eliminate the deficit, pay off the debt, eliminate income taxes, shore up social security, and give everyone a $5000 bonus.

Lol! How’s that going so far?

Face it. Trump is a disaster. The future looks bleak as long as he remains President. The Iran war is the main example (but not the only issue). The longer it goes on, the weaker our country becomes.

Plan accordingly.

The U.S. military has lost at least 45 MQ-9 Reaper drones during the war with Iran, or roughly 25 percent of its fleet, according to three U.S. officials familiar with the matter. The high-demand drones cost between $30 million and $50 million a piece.

Indeed, the US is not only pushing for a $500bn increase in the Pentagon budget but seeing a shake-up of how it operates: bureaucrats will no longer negotiate defence contracts, with an elite private sector “Deal Team Six” to handle and approve negotiations; defence firms will have to build their own factories; those that fail to deliver goods will be held responsible and may be replaced with new contractors; and there will be no more ‘costs-plus’ overspending. “Despite paying companies to make weapons faster, scheduled delays were constant, and cost overruns were the norm, all while their CEOs got rich,” according to Secretary of War Hegseth.”

Iran proposes an Amendment to the MOU. In exchange for Trump conceding Iran’s control of the Strait, it offers to rename it Trump’s Blockage, knowing the President’s fondness for putting his name on things.

Larry Johnson has speculated that US may be discreetly bending in the direction of accommodating Iranian insistence that US comply with the original MoU provisions. He cited two hints — Israeli reduction of operational tempo in Lebanon and rumors that cash and gold are being flown to Iran from UAE.
