‘His brain is broken’: Critics torch ‘unstable’ Trump after wild social media meltdown - Lemmy.World

Critics put Donald Trump on blast on Monday after he posted a message on social media threatening Iran with “Death, Fire and Fury.” Writing on his Truth Social website, Trump said any attempt to block oil shipments would lead to an attack “TWENTY TIMES HARDER” ― and so severe that it will be “virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again.” Iran has responded to the U.S.-Israeli military campaign by threatening to attack ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, effectively cutting off some 20% of the world’s oil. That’s triggered wild fluctuations in the market for crude oil, rising gas prices at U.S. pumps and fears of further economic pain should the conflict drag on.

He’s threatening nukes, he already mobilized the bombs. Now would be a good time for other countries to cut the US off. US won’t rally and rise up unless we suffer. Make us suffer you pussies.

It really does look like he’s trying to find an excuse to use them.

If he does he needs to go to be removed from office, and all countries need to sanction the US.

Show threadAlcoholicornMar 10
Would that happen? I doubt the US would remove him, would Europe be able to do any more than symbolic acts?
Show threadKirp123Mar 10
If he uses nukes it would be a hard line that most countries would be hard pressed to look past. If the US uses nukes in Iran then Russia will definitely use theirs in Ukraine and no European politician wants to be in the way of that fallout (literally and figuratively).
Show threadgrueMar 10
WTF do you mean, “if he does?” He already needs to be removed from office now, and the notion that he’s thinking about using a nuke only makes it even more imperative that he be removed before that happens!

I agree with everything you said.

But if the US doesn’t grow a spine on this they’re fucked beyond help.

The entire world needs to stop. It’s seemingly being considered to drop nukes on millions of people like you and me for no reason. Hello? This is not a matter of tapping on little hearts and arrows on social media, we’re all financing this, in one way or another, and allowing it to happen.

He remembers blaming Biden for high gas prices. Now he’s afraid of being seen as responsible for the same. Which he demonstrably is. So his threats will escalate as his fear intensifies.

I get that it’s fun to mock this man, but I feel like it also defangs the perception of him. People were laughing at how unlikely his victory would’ve been back in 2016 and now we’re here ten years later. This man is evil. He’s impulsive, and temperamental, and incredibly powerful.

He’s caused immense suffering among people, he’s stomping all over their rights, he’s kidnapped a head of state and he’s now started a war. Please, take the danger this man represents seriously.

Show threadWammityblamMar 10

He absolutely has dementia or Alzheimer’s and he absolutely had a stroke or TIA at the 9/11 memorial (I’m sure it’s not the first time). He probably has a laundry list of other medical issues to boot.

Any other 80 year old man with this medical history is in a locked memory unit, but this one is ruining our fucking lives.

Show threadBahnd RollardMar 10

He very clearly shit himself while on TV a few weeks ago, and its not headline news because reality is crazy town these days. I fully expect the day they announce he croaks to be a lie and they have been "Weekend at Burnies"ing him around for atleast 72 hours prior.

If that happens early next year around his terms half-way point I fully expect a “Death of Stalin” scenerio (from the begining of the film, where they have to find the best Dr in Moscow, but cant, because they threw out and finding one would mean the violated Stalins orders) because if Vance has to server for more than half the remaining term, he can only run for re-election once.

Show threadChunkMcHorkleMar 11

If his administration applied itself to this country’s problems with even a fraction of the same lively vigor with which they were suddenly shooing reporters out of the freshly stank-filled Oval Office after he took that presidential shit, this world would be a different place right now. I’m not even joking.

A compilation of tweets is just not news
Show threadLifeInMultipleChoiceMar 10
It’s hard to say what tweets count as. The White House has said they are official messages at times, and Musk was held legally required to purchase a company because of his statements made on the platform. At one point I believe they were all being archived to the library of Congress, not sure if they are anymore. Then again I believe Trump’s are on his site, so who knows
Show threadFrChazzzMar 10
I believe Fatboy is referring to the fact that over half the “article” is just a bunch of embedded tweets reacting to what Trump posts on his social media site. There’s not actual reporting going on.

The oil prices are affecting us in Europe too. Gas is getting wayyy more expensive. My car also isn’t very fuel-efficient…

And I think this is wonderful news if it teaches that fuckface a valuable lesson.

Show threadinnermachineMar 10
Unfortunately necessities and commodities getting more expensive doesn’t mean anything to the elites. Tarrifs and increased cost of living significantly disproportionately affects poors and working class people. For a rich person, fridges doubling in price is still a cheap purchase. For a poor person that needs a fridge and could hardly afford one before price doubled, they certainly can’t afford one now. Once again the poors carry society on their shoulders. Gas went up? U think rich people even notice? Hell no. But us working people now have to decide between eating lunch on Saturday and driving to work next week.

They also spent a REALLY long time fighting EV and public transit development. They really have no idea how anything works or how to plan further than a few months but society will still act like they’re so smart they deserve billions.
Show threadinnermachineMar 10
Not to mention with electric getting more expensive by the minute with ai and data center nonsense the ev thing might not be a solution anyways. Plus EV owners are not part of the poor/ working class I am talking about, anybody that can afford a 20k+ electric car is not half as poor as I am lmfao. I cried about spending 3 grand on my last shitter because the one before didn’t even run me 900$.
