Trump's answer just now in the Oval Office was insane and disqualifying.

[senseandsensibility]

He was just asked by a reporter "What do you say to the American people who question how much longer this will take? Obviously, you know they're having higher gas prices."
His answer? "You're such a disgrace. Did you hear what I just said? How many years was Vietnam?"

So. in spite of saying over and over that the war is over, will be over in two weeks, will be over in a few days, whatever, the new story is that it will be as long as Vietnam?

In what universe does that make sense?

He also doesn't want to "rush himself" when it comes to ending the war. Heaven forbid that toddler trump feel "rushed".

[Ocelot II]

1. "Insane and disqualifying." What else is new?

[Redleg]

28. Exactly. This shit doesn't matter unless a Dem says it.

His supporters will keep pretending they didn't hear the statement or they will make an excuse for it. Meanwhile Trump's approval ratings are continuing to gradually erode and the republicans are too cowardly to call bullshit on it.

[orthoclad]

34. He's doing his job! Perfectly! (as defined by our oligarchs)

he's the rodeo clown keeping our eyes away from Thiel and ilk.

And 21st century biz loves turmoil. Wall Street learned that from the Great Recession. Buy low, sell high, and they can blackmail us into underwriting their financial speculation. The wilder the swing the higher the profits.

Crisis Crunchies! Not just for insiders anymore!

[niyad]

2. Come on, little blood clot!

[madinmaryland]

12. He's taking multiple aspirins a day. His blood is really thin. Just a little paper cut may do it!

[niyad]

23. One dares to dream!

[Shipwack]

26. So blood clot chances are down...

… but kidney or liver failure is way up?

Statistically, of course. Just idle speculation, Agent Mike.

[Baitball Blogger]

3. Without the daily distraction of the Iran war, he has nothing to use to stop

the media from talking about the Epstein files.

[Aviation Pro]

4. The correct response would be

“Oh, you mean Vietnam, the war you got five deferments for? Fuck you, pedophile.”

[Deuxcents]

7. Why doesn't the media have a comeback when disrespected?

[dem4decades]

11. He just moves on to a safe stooge, a shill to be called on when he needs a break.

[orthoclad]

35. Dunno. Might have something to do with

billionaire monopolist media owners.

[Attilatheblond]

48. The 'stenographer pool' is terrified of 'losing access'

Real journalists dig for facts, not talking points for headlines.

[dave99]

54. Journalists do not exist in Washington D.C. these months, years..

[Rebl2]

5. He has

no idea when Vietnam war started I am sure.

[senseandsensibility]

6. Well he had to put some effort in to getting out of serving in it

so maybe he has an inkling since it involved him?

[Attilatheblond]

49. Naw, he only knows what year it was that put him personally at risk.

Remember: He has the BEST numbers.

[Talitha]

36. "He has no idea when Vietnam war started I am sure."

Or where it is either, I bet.

What a damned fool.

[magicarpet]

8. Trump found he can play Iran events to his advantage by gaming the stock markets.

Once he ends the war - will be the sooner his stock market insider trade scheme on war info ends. He is currently making a fortune on the ups and downs of the stock market gyrating at his whims, his beck, and his calls.

Why stop milking the cow - until the day comes it is bone dry. Then you move on to your next grift and your next scheme of self enrichment's. As you plunder and pilfer the next huge pile of someone else's cash, craftily making it your own. Once again,... all by illicit means.

[ProfessorGAC]

32. No He's Not

Some are using inside info to do it, but he's just flailing buffoon.
If he was that good at making money he wouldn't have needed to become president to grift enough to actually be a billionaire.
Because he's a dope with a big mouth & short attention spans, there are insiders who know when he is going to change his mind (again).
They are the ones gaming the system. He's just a useful idiot.

[magicarpet]

37. There are many media reports that Hegseth is playing the stock market with

..he is buying shares of USA Military Industrial stocks and selling petrol stock days before the bombing begins. Then when the bombing starts he takes in a fortune. Then the other way around, days before peace talks, the insider info are announced a buy order goes out for petrol stocks days before.The insider info tells him peace and war stocks to hold and which ones to sell.

It is like Hegseth is a fortune teller predicting the future and getting rich. But he is only trading stocks with insider information telling him where to park his money before the stocks takes a major jump in price.

Hegseth is no investment maven or a mathematical wizard like Einstein. He is a cheater and a scoundrel who is criminally manipulating his stock purchases to game the stock market for huge profits. The SEC,.. (Stock) Securities + Exchange Commission should light his ass of fire. But Trump's team is running the show at the SEC,.. so don't hold you breath for a meaning full investigation at this time.

[magicarpet]

38. Oh incidently,... Hegseth is not the only one gaming the stock market with insider tradings information.

There are many others on Team trDUMP doing the very same thing with illegal insider trading schemes to rake in the dough.

That fast talking little twerp shyster - US Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick is likely the brains behind giving out advice for highly profitable insider information/stock trading schemes. He has been around Wall Street for some time,... he knows the ropes.

[FakeNoose]

43. You forgot Uday and Qusay

... of course I'm referring to Chump's 2 older sons. They've got to be smack in the middle of this insider trading shit that's going on.

[magicarpet]

56. Oh yes,.. how did that slip my mind ?

Eric Trump is raking in the dough on investments in military contractors.

Eric'$ details starts at 4 : 58 on the video meter at the link below....

9. Typical Trump evasion, dissembling, and gaslighting.

[senseandsensibility]

14. Journalistically, his comparison to Vietnam

and suggesting that it will last as long is "the story". But it is politically damaging to him so the corporate media is downplaying the comment.

[tanyev]

10. How many years was Vietnam? Zero for you, Donny Bonespurs.

😒

[magicarpet]

40. Trump was busy handing out penicillin to hookers just in case he gave them syphilis or gonorrhea

After he got his war deferments. Knocking up escorts and prostitutes was his service to his country.

[Wednesdays]

44. He actually said as much to Howard Stern.

That avoiding STDs was his "personal Vietnam."

[spanone]

13. He'll keep it going till the mid-terms, declare war and cancel elections...

or he'll try.

[Ilsa]

15. He's dragging it out so da boyz can wager more on

the war in the prediction markets. $3 billion isn't enough for them.

[Wednesdays]

45. Three TRILLION wouldn't be enough. nt

[bob4460]

16. He doesn't want a deal

He wants a distraction from the terrible job he is doing and a distraction from the Epstein files.He wants chaos.

[senseandsensibility]

17. The War is extremely unpopular and responsible for his recent dip in already low poll numbers

I predict approval of the war to dip even more with comparisons to Vietnam. Probably the worst comparison he could make. Even his cult members won't like it. It gets to the point that it is so bad that its use as a distraction is questionable. However, the profit motive might be an explanation.

[BattleRow]

21. The King of Chaos

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

18. "You're such a disgrace." for asking a question?

[senseandsensibility]

19. At least he didn't call her "piggy"

The fool is obviously threatened by women.

[magicarpet]

41. djt can not stand uppity women who think or act like they are on equal footing with him.

He immediately lashes out at them and insults them. This is his feeble attempt to remind them he is the alpha here. That he has the power to kick and knock to the bottom rung of the ladder. While he enjoys the view from the very top position - as he rules strongly over them.

Mind your place little Ms.Piggy Woman.

Says the pathetic - Donnie the DOTARD.

[Attilatheblond]

50. One might ponder that such attitude re women who dare thing themselves equal, or even just empowered,

is likely a common trait among pedophile child rapists. Prolly difficult for such man babies to get it up with grown/thinking women.

[magicarpet]

55. Oh yes,.. thinking women cause Peter to go limp with Neanderthals for sure.

Anyone who possesses the capacity to think and/or reason infuriates them to no end.

[BattleRow]

22. Projection,much?

[surfered]

20. He's trapped by his own arrogance and ignorance.

[flashman13]

24. Maybe it will end on April 30th. That will be the 51st anniversary of when NVA tanks busted down the gates of the U.S.

Embassy in Saigon ending a war that had lasted for 30 years.

No rush Donny. You have plenty of time.

[BWdem4life]

25. That was a sincere question

He doesn't have a clue how many years the Vietnam "police action" lasted.

[AllaN01Bear]

27. greetings from the night shift, is he dead yet ?

[Joinfortmill]

29. He's demented and STUPID.

[sop]

30. "What do you say to the American people?" Trump doesn't care what the American people think.

That's frightening, on a number of levels.

[Bristlecone]

31. He is the disgrace. And he disgraces all of us.

We are now a completely disgraced country and all at the hands of him and the Republican Party.

[orthoclad]

33. Capitalism NEEDS war. The longer the better.

Those bombs won't blow them selves up. Keep those factories busy churning out warhead after warhead.

[ColoringFool]

39. "Look, All You Fake News Enemies Of The People: .......

WAR PROFITEERING TAKES TIME! WE NEED TO DEMOLISH, THAT'S AN OLD-FASHIONED WORD, LIKE CIVIL WAR DAYS, MORE BEFORE ANY AMERICAN RECONSHT....RECON...REBUILDING COMPANIES CAN GO IN!

AND WE HAVEN'T FINISHED LOOTING IRAN'S GREAT MUSEUMS!

AND WE'RE GONNA TAKE THEIR OIL. WE DON'T NEED THEIR OIL. UNGRATEFUL NATO NEEDS IRAN'S OIL. WELL, THEY CAN'T HAVE IT! UNLESS THEY PAY US. IF NATO OFFERS ME ENOUGH, I MIGHT LET THEM HAVE SOME OIL. WE'LL SEE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."

[MissouriDem47]

42. In Other Words

Trump has absolutely no idea what to do next.

[ChicagoTeamster]

46. They should ask How Israeli troops are going to deploy alongside US troops in an their war with Iran.

Does Israel have Airmobile brigades? Will they parachute in? Will they do an amphibious assault on Kharg Island leading with the ark of the covenant?

[Americanme]

47. Didn't the moron say, just a few days ago, that he could have ended Vietnam "very quickly"?

Why didn't the reporter throw that back at his dumb ass? He makes no sense at all.

[-misanthroptimist]

51. "How many years was Vietnam?"

Answer: "Enough year to require five deferments for imaginary bone spurs. But what does Vietnam have to do with anything?"

[senseandsensibility]

52. To me, he was at least strongly implying that this war may last as long as Vietnam

and all the reporters in the room should have followed up on that.

[OMGWTF]

53. T💩p is making bank with all of the market manipulations, and money is the only thing that matters.
