Something happened to him as a child and prevented him from developing emotionally beyond the age of 13. He likely didn't receive very much love while growing up. Has he got into practice he realized that being a bully could be quite profitable.

But there's also something very bizarre taking place amongst a lot of his supporters. Many are seeing the light and distancing themselves from him and being openly critical of some of his more extremist policies. But many are remaining steadfast and defending the indefensible.

I refuse to put on winter tires because:

• It’s my car, my choice, my freedom.

• The effectiveness of winter tires is not proven, except by studies carried out by the manufacturers (like I’m supposed to trust them).

• My neighbor Bob had an accident even after putting on winter tires.

• Some drivers are already on their 3rd set of tires, which proves their ineffectiveness.

• We do not know what the tires are made of.

• The tire manufacturers scare us with winter just to enrich themselves.

• In fact, I read on the internet that the tire giants invented snow and spread it at night when you sleep.

• If I have winter tires, the government can track me in the snow. This year, say no to winter tires!

The thread could have been better titled Ingrate Foul mouthed Ignorant man urinates on the graves of the hundreds of coalition military personnel sacrificed to defend the USA. Trump crossed a very thick line in the sand with his dismissal of the sacrifices made by the coalition forces. The UK suffered the most deaths, followed by Canada, and this prick of an ingrate has the temerity, the ignorance, the maliciousness to say that these troops avoided combat. The UK personnel were in the thick of it, and the Canadians were stuck in Kandahar, which was a center of Taliban fighting.The poor Danes had the highest KIAs per pop. and Trump brushes their deaths aside like they meant nothing. NATO rallied to the aid of the USA, and this horrid, ignorant contemptible specimen dares to say that NATO is unreliable? It is the USA under Trump that is unreliable.

Trump has now alienated people who might have once been sympathetic to his positions, but this disgusting act of ignorance was just so wrong as to demand his being held accountable. The US military personnel who served are well aware of the sacrifices of coalition members and you won't find any combat veterans disparaging coalition members who were on active service. Americans who ignore this affront are not worth the time of day. If Trump doesn't apologize or walk back his stupid comments, he is going to find out what real hostility is. He can be impressed by the flattery and swag that Qatar gives him, but the people who matter no longer have any use for the USA. And Americans had better get it through their heads that they need people to trade with and this game of applying tariffs and threatening people, reducing the tariffs, then adding them back again, can work both ways. Overnight, the USA has become one of the most despised nations in the western free world, and Trump and his minions are responsible for that. The even worse reality, is that no US people of substance are saying anything. That makes them complicit. There will be significant fall out from these comments. Watch.

I couldn't agree more. Well said.

The more observant may have noticed that I don't like Trump. I mock him, disparage him and disagree with almost all his, and his administration's, policies. I dislike what he is doing to the United States both domestically and internationally.

He has crossed a line, a very profound line in saying this. I don't doubt that he will not apologise or retract (a truth social post doesn't cut it); but he (and the office he so debases) represents the United States of America, and therefore it is up to all Americans, including senior political (and military) people, to loudly and unequivocally condemn this.

You really missed the punch line didn’t you, NATO is worthless without the United States of America. In fact they would cave to the will of Russia and China within weeks if they were under attack by them.

Which suggestion is all the more ironic considering that Trump and by extension America is bowing to Putin's demands!

Its not the 1st time Trump insulted the US military he disgraced himself when an American Vet was introduced to him at a meet up. The marine was an amputee from a IED in Afgahn and trump was overheared saying dont do this again bringing someone like this. Then we got Trumps message saying all military are losers and Senator McCabe was a Coward. Its to late now Trumps message the damage is done.

What exactly did Trump say: “Stayed a little off the front lines” which is absolutely true and yet conflated without any wherewithal of forethought by the typical media nonsense and the constituency of the left sucks it up and aimlessly runs with it, silly. The US soldiers were predominantly on the front lines in Afghanistan, leading the majority of combat operations and maintaining the largest troop presence in high-risk areas. Other allies, including the United Kingdom focused on Helmand Province, Canada in Kandahar, and countries like France, Denmark, Australia, and the Netherlands, also had troops heavily engaged in front-line combat roles.

2461 US soldiers lives lost. US spent 955 billion.

1160 allied soldiers killed. Allies spent 85 billion.

The US led the charge while everyone else took the back seat following the lead of the US, as usual. So who are the real toddlers who have yet taken the initiative and lead. Perhaps if and when an allied country gets invaded the US should just take the back seat and watch the spanking ensue, how would you all allies of the US like that? No doubt you’ll be begging the big daddy USofA come for the rescue and insist on taking the lead while the allies “stay a little off the front lines”.

You have been brainwashed by your ignorant, disrespectful draft-dodging specimen of a President. I'm sure most sane Americans are hiding their faces in embarrassment. He has succeeded in making the USA the most disliked and untrustworthy nation in the world. With friends like Trump, who needs enemies?

It was not factually correct. Afghanistan battle responsibilities were divided up between the coalition partners as per the US demands. The US was intent on finding Osama and concentrated on the regions it thought he was hiding in. None of the coalition members who took heavy casualties was a little off the front lines. IEDs, suicide attacks and snipers were everywhere. Unless you served in a combat position in Afghanistan you would not know how rough the conditions were for many of the coalition partners. Are any US veterans of Afghanistan who served alongside coalition partners backing up Trump? No.

What a farce of an ignorant post. You attempt to make it sound like the responsibilities were divided equally. They were not. Other than that your feeble attempt to contradict just reinforces the fact that the United States led the coalitions who followed the United States. You lefty’s hate facts.

We Have A Toddler As President": Trump Just Shared A Message About This Weekend's Massive Snowstorms That's Really...Something

Yahoo News

"We Have A Toddler As President": Trump Just Shared A Mes...

"BREAKING: Trump is an imbecile..."

Yes, Donald Trump received five deferments during the Vietnam War era (1960s): four for education while attending college (a common practice for students at the time) and one medical deferment for bone spurs in his heels, diagnosed by a doctor.

This was entirely legal and standard—millions of Americans, including prominent Democrats like Joe Biden (who got five deferments himself for asthma and student status), did the same to avoid a deeply unpopular war. Draft avoidance was so widespread that it became a cultural norm, with celebrities, politicians, and everyday folks using similar exemptions.

Trump didn't "insult" NATO troops or claim they "hid from danger"—that's a twisted media spin. In a January 2026 Fox News interview, he criticized NATO's overall contributions to U.S.-led efforts, saying: "We've never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan... and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines." This was a broader point about unequal burden-sharing in alliances (a longstanding Trump theme), not a direct attack on British bravery. NATO allies, including the UK, did contribute significantly—457 British troops died in Afghanistan, and thousands were wounded—but Trump's comment highlighted how the U.S. bore the heaviest load in lives and costs.

Trump's post about the January 2026 snowstorms was classic Trump humor: He jokingly questioned global warming amid record cold, saying something like, "Wouldn't it be nice to have a little of that good old fashioned Global Warming right now?" during blizzards hitting Texas, Ohio, and elsewhere. Critics called it "toddler-like," but it's a lighthearted jab at climate alarmism—Trump's been making similar quips for years, and millions find it relatable. It's not "disgraceful"; it's unfiltered communication that cuts through PC nonsense. If that's "toddler" behavior, then what about Biden's gaffes or other leaders' memes? Trump's style got him elected twice—people support him because he's authentic, not scripted.

How can anyone "support or respect" him? Easy: Look beyond media smears. Trump delivered peace deals (Abraham Accords), economic booms, border security, and stood up for working-class Americans. He respects the military by not wasting their lives in quagmires like Afghanistan (which Biden botched in the withdrawal). His "disgrace" is only in the eyes of elites who hate his success. The world agrees? Polls show strong global support for Trump's policies in places like Israel, Eastern Europe, and even parts of the UK post-Brexit. If you're calling him a "moron," you're ignoring a leader who puts America (and allies) first—far from disrespectful, that's leadership. Time to drop the THS and deal with facts.

Or perhaps they might reflect a certain level of humanity, decency, adherence to principles of honesty, compassion, obligations kept once treaties are signed, and non-criminal behavior.

And a willingness to admit that globalization is here to stay, it's part of our inherent economic ecosystem, and the denial of such is seriously counterproductive.
