This absolute goon is a travesty for the entire planet, and is causing untold amounts of pain worldwide with his ridiculous war of choice.

The "I will get inflation down" president is driving prices up worldwide, through his foolishness, and horrific advice, and has absolute fealty to Netanyahu.

He needs to be stopped as soon as possible, he needs to be locked up in either a prison or an insane asylum.

The War is going remarkably well. There is pain, but there was pain anyway being caused by a corrupt, evil and destabilizing Iranian regime. Trump is making the world a better place.

In addition, this is how Trump would react to the above post:

Wow. Just wow. That must be some tasty Kool-Aid that you are guzzling by the liter. Perhaps you need to be reminded that this one week war has gone on for 9 weeks already, with no end game in sight. The Strait remains blockaded by both Iran and America, and the economic punishment around the world is just beginning.

Trump is a complete madman and an insane super freak, and he has spent 15 months disrespecting our allies and now he's asking them to come to our rescue. Well good luck with that Don.

My guess is that he will withdraw with his tail between his legs, and claim a false victory having accomplished nothing except destruction of the world economy and more turmoil, but that's why we call him Mr. Chaos, isn't it?

He is a simpleton nimwit, being advised by people that he picked from the absolute bottom of the barrel, but that's just Don. It's a shame because tens of millions of people thought he was somebody else. And he sure is showing his true colors now.

And both of his sons just purchased a company that is going to be making drones for the US Armed Forces, so guess what? This whole thing just might have been about self enrichment for his family, and nothing more. The massive and unadulterated corruption continues, Trump style.

The amount of chaos Trump has caused for the entire planet with his unnecessary forever war is astounding. It was sich a bad choice and the timing could not have been worse, as the world economy is already challenged enough. This means nothing to him as his wealth continues to grow through massive corruption. What did they think was going to happen with the strait and why did they think they could handle the consequences of this recklessness.

Trump deserves severe punishment for this act. America will be reaping the blowback for years to come and nobody knows how long the chaos will last.

Dumb and dumber. Pure Don style stupidity and staggering levels of ignorance and hubris.

The only good that can come from this is if MAGA devotees finally realize what a dunce they supported and rise up against this street trash pig president.

One of the biggest liabilities that Trump had leading up to this war was the decision to use two absolute imbeciles in the form of Witkoff and Kushner. They are both rabid Zionists, they both deliberately lied to Iran during the negotiations in order to fool them into thinking that the US was sincere, and look at the outcome that we have.

The thing that a very tiny mind like Trump doesn't get is that Iran will not negotiate with the US at this point. Many reports are coming out that Witkoff is begging the Iranian foreign minister for meetings and his calls are not being returned. 

The US has backed themselves into a corner and the economic devastation has been way beyond what they anticipated, and the price they're going to pay for this in the midterms is going to be brutal. Unchecked inflation, rising unemployment, the closing of hundreds of thousands of small businesses, no return of manufacturing to the US, a shortage of labor due to extreme and short sighted immigration policy, and the abandonment of any hope that Trump would improve the quality of life for Americans, but instead we get sabotage of those hopes for the entire planet.

Don's demise will be a good thing, as Trump will lose his power and he will just become a whiny gutter trash punk, will have to deal with being doubly impotent, and hopefully he will eventually disappear into oblivion. Morbid sickness is quite likely, considering his rapid decline, and his three or four cheeseburger a day diet.

See ya Don. You will not be missed, the world will celebrate your demise with such glee, millions will take to the streets and welcome the return of civility, decency, honor, grace and hope.

Iran has outsmarted America and it's very dumb president to quite a surprising degree.

Trump is crushing quite a few economies, including America's. That debt is not going to get any better, when the US is spending $1 billion a day on Iran.

He has plenty of bankruptcy practice, perhaps the end point is a default.

Hard to believe an $85 trillion World GDP could be hammered by the idiocy and incompetence of one man. High fuel prices, disruption of supply chains. Consumers pulling back both because of fear and tight finances. Combine this with the impact of AI on labor, plus the world's $380,000,000,000,000 in debt, and the world is facing a perfect storm of utter catastrophe. Trump's is the spark that lights the fire.

It will take the Americans decades to live this down.

And trump is poised to enter the Dark eagle, super-sonic missile into the game.

The Dark Eagle (Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon - LRHW) is a US Army surface-to-surface missile designed for high-speed, precision strikes against heavily defended targets. It boasts a range of over 1,700 miles (\(2,700 \text{ km}\)) and speeds exceeding Mach 5. As of May 2026, its deployment is being considered for potential use in the Iran conflict, though it is not yet fully operational and has faced testing challenges.

More deceit from the Don and Pete show. Expect no honesty, ever. Expect more chaos daily. The war president exerts his sabotage.

President Donald Trump's administration is arguing that the war in Iran has already ended because of the ceasefire that began in early April, an interpretation that would allow the White House to avoid the need to seek congressional approval.

The statement furthers an argument laid out by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during testimony in the Senate on Thursday, when he said the ceasefire effectively paused the war. Under that rationale, the administration has not yet met the requirement mandated by a 1973 law to seek formal approval from Congress for military action that extends beyond 60 days.

While the ceasefire has since been extended, Iran maintains its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S. Navy is maintaining a blockade to prevent Iran’s oil tankers from getting out to sea.

What the ignorant fools leading America don't seem to get is that Iran still has many many cards in its hands, and is in a position to create a lot more chaos for America and the world.

What a lot of people don't seem to realize is that Iran is actually showing restraint at this point, they have not unleashed any of their proxy sleeper cells, they have not rained down terror upon the American mainland, which they are fully capable of, they have not hacked into American infrastructure yet or defense systems yet, and all of those still remain strong possibilities if the ignoramus Trump doesn't start to wise up.

Though it is very difficult for Trump when it comes to things like learning and comprehension, I think it's finally dawning on the clowns that they picked on the wrong adversary, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons.

This is not going well for big Don and this is going to be his his boondoggle and his demise. It looks like that he's going to take MAGA down with him, which is a good thing for not only America but for the entire planet.

Yeah I may be dreaming for sure but violence destroying life is not the answer especially in this case when he can be removed from office legally. I also realize that he and the Republicans that cannot live off the teat of the government will try many efforts to cancel the fall elections. If the Democrats and American public allow that to happen then i shudder to think some wild person might resort to. If the election is canceled, then I believe it could result in an uprising or some states withdrawing from the United States and then trying to join Canada. Who knows what the future holds with DJT in the office and whether or not his health will let his still be there in the fall - JC is probably praying for the president to live out the entire term! Another big loser IMHO.

Probably will blow up on re-entry. $15 million a pop according to Fox. $41 million a pop according to CBO estimates for a lot of 300 ordered. Good news for Lockheed stockholders, well, unless it doesn't work. I'm not impressed.

At the moment there is a bet between and my freinds open, which nation will break up into statelets first, following the implosion of their economy: Russia or the USA.

Either one or both within the next 5 years would be fine with me.

I am an American and have to agree somewhat with your feelings. I have not like this conman since he used heel spurs to avoid the draft telling me exactly what I thought about a spoiled uncontrollable brat that had to be sent to a military school to learn some discipline but which failed to make him understand that just being from a rich family doesn't make one an mental giant nor better at being a patriotic citizen. He has never learned obviously that being known as one of the greatest liars of all times doesn't make people admire you except those dumbest of the dumb that continue to believe just about everything that he says. Unless he is removed by Congress along with his rich and powerful buddies named as agency heads, then America is doomed IMHO too but hopefully though I am sure not while I am still alive, America can get back their former reputation of being a good country for all. We have had too many poor leadership for quite a while now and it would be nice to find a great one again that is good for all, not only American citizens but he whole world too. At my age all I can do is dream about it though,

Really?

I thought Trump's blockade was designed to increase the wealth of his US oil baron friends/supporters, who can become trillionaires before Elon Musk.

Clearly you have not gotten that correct. Less means more. His 1% friends make money in many ways and always will.

and the secretary of war, AKA Trump goon was annoyed by a simple question that many of the MAGA on AN may have forgotten

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared annoyed Tuesday after a reporter asked him when President Trump decided to capitulate on his initial demands for Iran to surrender unconditionally.

“On the first day of this conflict, President Trump addressed the Iranian people directly and said, ‘when we’re finished, take over your government. It’ll be yours to take.’ And then on the seventh day of the conflict, in a Truth Social post, the president said, ‘There will be no deal with Iran except’ all caps, exclamation mark ‘UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!’”

it appears Rubio is opening his eyes and starts to see what the USA is ripping from his war in Iran which amounts to nothing besides damaging relationships with allies and completely screwing up the world economy, Rubio seemed surprised that Iran reacted, what was/were he/they expecting but he forgot a very important point

Rubio left out that this problem would not exist had President Donald Trump not decided to go to war with Iran in February. Prior to the bombings, the strait ― a major artery for the world’s oil supply ― was open

Secretary of State Marco Rubio seemed aghast that Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz after the U.S. started a war with the country.

acknowledging the country still has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz,
