he's made a complete and utter shit show of things and he's the star of that show.
he thought he could secure a "Noble" prize by bullying Ukraine into capitulation and instead showed the world just how far up Putin's ass he is. he looks like a damn fool. an ignorant, insecure, childish bully of a damn fool.
the cool kids rushed to Ukraine's aid and shut Trump out. they are like you're not welcome in our playground any longer.
I'm even wondering if King Charles will revoke his invitation? If so Trump will probably vapor lock.

(72,126 posts)The King hosted Zelenskyy at his estate at Sandringham, which I understand Trump is really hankering to visit. It would be great if he was not only dis-invited, but actually barred from entering the UK at all.

(3,457 posts)restricting entry for convicted felons? If so, that would make it a very easy decision. Which I'm sure would serve to increase the ketchup flow at MAG-A-Lardo.

(7,893 posts)All international trade agreements will be put on hold - and not by America.
'Sorry, can't fill your orders right now' style.
International travellers with an American passport will be turned away at the borders as persona non grata.
I predict Canada and Mexico will be the first to start.
Outside entities with financial and business investments in America will 'reevaluate' their position and make moves to minimize their exposure.
Disaster control contingencies will be activated.
And those decision will be based on business, not political reasons. The evil triad of Trump, Musk and Vance and the flying monkeys just aren't good for business.
A stunned American public will get over the 'I cannot believe this!' phase and be stirred into action.
Type of action? Currently undefined, wait and see.

Not even FOX can counteract that.
rebellion would be good

(7,893 posts)Trump is not who he thinks he is.
His sphere of delusional importance fades with distance from the White House.
It is non-existent in other countries.
Big mistake America.
In other countries people with a Napoleon complex are kept in safe places, like homes for the terminally confused.
But not in America. They move into the Republican Party and the White House, unhindered.

(29,336 posts)but I don't know if he can revoke the invitation without the blessing of the Starmer. Some things are done in the monarch's name, with the monarch not getting all that much input.
What will be interesting is Charles' demeanor if he does have to deal with the Krasnov.

(26,115 posts)Will try to appeal for Ukrainian aid. He had Zelensky in a private meeting. There is no way Europe is agreeing to Trump's non-peace deal.
I assume, Charles will fail. But we all know Trump craves to be seen as a somebody. And thus, a visit to Charles might be Europe's best hope to walk Trump back a bit if it is possible. Trump more than anything craves being seen as a great leader.

(2,369 posts)Ig Nobel prize in medical education. Satirical but nonetheless it has both the important words & with judicious application of a Sharpie...
https://improbable.com/ig/winners/?amp=1#ig2020
Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom, Narendra Modi of India, Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico, Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, Donald Trump of the USA, Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow of Turkmenistan, for using the Covid-19 viral pandemic to teach the world that politicians can have a more immediate effect on life and death than scientists and doctors can.
REFERENCE: Numerous news reports.
NOTE: This is the second Ig Nobel Prize awarded to Alexander Lukashenko. In the year 2013, the Ig Nobel Peace Prize was awarded jointly to Alexander Lukashenko, for making it illegal to applaud in public, AND to the Belarus State Police, for arresting a one-armed man for applauding.
So...maybe he's jealous Lusashenko has more (Ig) Nobel prizes. I'm willing to bet he's a shoo-in, assuming he survives long enough

(13,427 posts)They still need US for the near future and will continue diplomatically while cursing his fat ass behind closed doors. What will have him fuming though, is that the King met with Velenskyy before him.
Edited to add: The King also met with Trudeau this weekend as well, that will also irritate him. If his meeting gets canceled, it will likely be by Trump because he is butt hurt.
