Zero. (Same answer, fewer words. Suck it, Grok.)

You're going to love this then: "The White House has launched a new Drudge Report-like website devoted to promoting pro-Trump news stories. The site, called White House Wire, represents the administration's latest effort to circumvent the mainstream media and present itself in a positive light." So now the US has state-sponsored propaganda media, just like Russia's TASS, only this one is paid for by US taxpayers. Let that sink in for a minute. https://www.axios.com/2025/04/30/trump-white-house-drudge-style-website-launch

Perhaps the Aliens want their leader back.

In this case, tragic irony: "a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character's words or actions are clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character." Sorry if this confuses you, Dmitry. (Not really.)

Since we are in the Ukraine war sub-forum, I wonder what the penalty is for spineless Russians who fled to Thailand to talk a lot of smack they were too cowardly to act upon. Death penalty, you think?

Undoubtedly from the comments section of a YouTube video or the comment section of a Focks News "journalism" piece about Paige Spirinac.

I put it in italics and with quotation marks because it is a quote. If you check the post I made with those words, I supplied the source at the bottom of the post (but it doesn't show up as a link, as many don't these days on AN.) Thanks for checking in though, Mr. Wannabe Moderator. (Hint: it's the part that starts with https://abcnews.go.com......)

"A federal judge blasted the Trump administration's termination of immigration records for thousands of foreign students in the United States as "arbitrary and capricious," demanding that the government provide detailed explanations as to why and how the records were terminated and what this means for students. "I think we all agree it was arbitrary and capricious," Judge Ana Reyes said about the Trump administration's move to terminate records of foreign students in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), a database that schools and government agencies used to confirm if foreign students are abiding by the conditions of their stay, during a court hearing for an international student's case in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday." Tsk, tsk. Can't punish student "lawbreakers" when you don't follow the law yourself. Must be a "lefty, activist judge", lol. Or maybe just the judiciary doing its job to keep the executive branch from overreach. Either way, too bad, so sad. Flip, flop, flip, flop. The Trump Administration is beginning to look a lot like the Thai government, only with less common sense. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/judge-blasts-trump-administrations-student-visa-terminations-arbitrary/story?id=121281986

Are you sure he didn't say "I ruin the country and the world"?

I know right? I'm crying from laughing so hard at what a brain dead buffoon the guy has become and I'm not even a die hard lefty. It's as if The Three Stooges had a baby with Roseanne Barr and then threw it down a flight of stairs.

Wow, obsess much? Seriously, OP, thanks for taking time out from spitting on Mexicans to update us with the latest news from the White Grievance Committee (motto: "A robe by any other name....") And jeers to the Administration for stealing a high school pep squad member's idea (hey gang, I know, let's put up some posters!) You put the BIG in bigot.

Chugging the vodka a bit early today, aren't you?

So sorry to bore you with the overwhelming evidence that Trump is a world class failure at an international level not seen since Herbert Hoover. You really do put the "din" in denial.

Oh, it's an "own goal ', that's for sure. Trump is scoring own goals galore.

"What’s now increasingly obvious, however, is that Trump is in ragged retreat; he’s compromising all over the shop, such that if the plan was to upend the established global order, one can almost definitely say that, beyond the rhetoric, it is already over. Rank lack of professionalism and organisation has defined the endeavour all along, and now it’s coming apart at the seams. Sensing an administration on the run, no one is any longer hurrying to do a trade deal with the US. From Britain to Canada and beyond, getting the right deal rather than a quick one has become the new mantra." and "Trump has in the meantime made himself – and the US – into an international laughing stock, never mind the damage that policy uncertainty is inflicting on the global economy." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/04/26/trumps-attempt-to-upend-the-global-order-defeated/

Wow, shocking. People hate when the guy they voted to improve the economy makes it worse. Intentionally.

Excellent point Dmitry. Enjoying Thailand while you avoid the war?

"United States President-elect Donald Trump has lost an appeal to a jury’s 2023 finding that he was liable for sexual abuse and defamation related to an alleged attack on writer E Jean Carroll in the 1990s. On Monday, a federal appeals court upheld the 2023 verdict in the civil case, in which Trump was not found to have committed rape, but was ordered to pay Carroll $2.02m for sexual assault and $2.98m for defamation." https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/12/30/appeals-court-upholds-trump-sexual-abuse-defamation-liability-verdict

Concur. But if we're being honest, prior to the 2016 election, most people on both sides thought Cankles would win, easily. (Conversely, you'd have to be a true die hard to think Harris had a chance.) I don't think there's a strong candidate for successor yet on either side.....much will depend on how the mid-terms shake out, which will be a referendum on 47's half term. For as much as the Rs want to think Vance is inevitable - that's a conversation to be had.

Well yeah, but if he did that then he couldn't play in the women's club championship at his own golf course due to his own Executive Order. Duh. (I tossed in that emoji cause it seems to be very popular here, for whatever reason.)

"Especially when Trump isn't running. winning." There you go, fixed that for you.

They may express interest - Cuban/Dimon - but methinks that there's gonna be an anti-billionaire backlash coming sooner than the next election. Not saying they can't influence an election for President but winning....nah. Joe Average American has no idea who Dimon is and .... another reality TV President? Figure the odds.

He can definitely carry a conversation. Not sure he has the monetary backing to go far. Might as well say "The Rock" if we're throwing Stephen A into the conversation.

Good point. Trump will need a distraction from his "Make America God Awful" again domestic policies.
