Analysis: Trump is a moron. This whole thing was stupid, futile, and a win for Putin.

Last edited Sat Aug 16, 2025, 11:32 AM - Edit history (2)

See two links below of Trump looking like the moron he is.

You work out details through each party’s diplomatic channels and then the principles meet to do a whole ceremony thing and sign it. The fact that that one of the nations IN the war was not present made the whole thing futile. The EU, who’ve contributed twice as much aid as the US, weren’t at least part of the negotiations (which there were none) again made the whole thing a stupid futile effort.

Putin got a win just by appearing with the POTUS let alone being on US soil.

He can’t count. I guessed he should’ve asked Hannity.
Yes Donald, Alaska is part of the USA

loss for America. That is what we have a Sec. of State for - if there was to be no gain then there should have never been a meeting. This just gave WAR CRIMINAL Putin a stage of credibility on American soil for attacking a sovereign nation.

How can our allies trust anything we say or do anymore?

He needs no advise or counsel
No one dare tell him NO
If something pops in that BB in a beer can brain of his it becomes canon and dogma. He can’t be wrong so there’s no relenting or explanation possible.

Oh, and ALL HAIL DEAR LEADER all the time.

Orange anus negotiated 5 (Dump) 7 (Hannity) wars to their end??? I don’t think so.
This obsession of winning the Nobel for peace is really weird. Jealousy of Obama, sure, but wow, this campaign with a very eager Hannity is so obvious.

Of course the media is not calling out Dump’s confusing Alaska as part of Russia.

Relentlessly on Fox
Baghdad Barbie at the WH mentions and posts about it daily
It’s daily copy for X influencers

And

Trump cold-called Norwegian minister to ask about Nobel Peace Prize
Every year, the Norwegian Nobel Committee selects laureates from hundreds of nominees. Its five members are appointed by Norway’s parliament in line with the instructions of 19th-century Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel. Winners are announced each October in Oslo.

I guess Norway….Nobel is close enough to try to work it through the Finance Minister
