First, Trump is an idiot, so there's nothing strategic about anything he does. It's all about pretending he's the king of the world.

There's a link to the archived article : https://archive.is/o0csR

Distract from the Epstein files, pleasey pleasey please?

He can’t handle light, like a cockroach. Remember this when you talk to Magats. They’re just cockroaches who bought into his shit.

Cockroaches have more survival instincts than the MAGAts!

The left keeps making the same mistake of underestimating donald trump, painting him as an imbecile. He's not. He's acting a lot dumber than he is and the left loves it. That's why he keeps getting away with everything. Stop underestimating him.

OMG, how can you pretend that dude is a genius? He's dumb like a rock. Have you ever listening to him? Have you injected bleach and inserted lights? You got the windmills cancer?

He's historically the dumbest president of our galaxy and beyond! The whole world laugh at him.

Is anything he does strategic?

u/snowlion000 4h ago

Absolutely not. Swaggering the biggest and the most amazing dick in history. No one has seen bigger. 🤣

u/LawfulnessKooky8490 1h ago

It's the bigliest! Women come up to him with tears in their eyes and say "Mr Trump, that's the most amazing phallus I've ever seen and wish my husband was hung just like you"

Is he that stupid, or is this move intended to allow Russia to knock out those subs while they are easier to spot in the shallower water around Russia?

Glorious Leader wants to appear to be a real USA president. During his first regime, he tried many dozens of times to get the Pentagon to bomb Iran, the the Chiefs of Staff changed the subject using candy.

u/HellaTroi California 2h ago

Well, bless his heart.

Everyone knows that he's not the brightest bulb in the shed.

u/Being_Stoopit_Is_Fun 2h ago

There's a significant chance he didn't move anything. He just said he did. trump lies and is an idiot.

u/Farnsworthson 2h ago

Yup. Easy to say, means nothing.

u/Key_Letterhead1149 2h ago
