    Merz is just jealous. How many FIFA Peace Prizes and Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal awards does he have, hmmmm?

      He’s just to cheap to buy any - and not aggressively corrupt enough to get them for free.

      None, but he does have a few no belt peas prizes.

    “Squandered” is so imprecise. Perhaps more accurately described as “nuked.”.

      By Merz’ standards “squandered” is hell of a statement. He really dared to critisize his American overlords and employers. Actually that’s nothing I’d have expected even remotely.

      He’s billions richer. But he’s also caused what feels to me like the fastest devaluation of the dollar and rapid loss of purchasing power for Americans.

      So we all lose and he makes a small fortune.

      It’s only been 1 year too.

        I had a thought the other day that I’m not nearly financially literate enough to know how true it is, but with all the talk about stocks going up, couldn’t that be an effect of the dollar going down?

          That was my take as well. Anyone with large real estate or other investment portfolios is treading water while those who don’t are sinking without directly realizing why.

      It seems like he’s quite bad at keeping a fortune once made. Wouldn’t surprise me to see those billions evaporate from whence they came.

        Don’t worry about him. He’s quite good at doing whatever he wants and avoiding responsibility for that. He will take another few billions if these would “evaporate”. Just will come to the treasury and say: give me a few billions and a big cup of icecream. And a pony.

    Thanks conservatives.

    Not that any are intelligent enough to figure out how to get on Lemmy.

    If you’re the US circa 2015 and decide to be evil, it would have been entirely doable to lull Europe into a false sense of security, and then occupy some or all of it overnight in a surprise attack. Instead, Trump did the opposite. Europe is the opposite of lulled, and the status of the actual invasion is TACO.

    People on here hope Trump gets shot, but for the same reasons they should actually hope he finishes his term.

      The idea that the corrupt conservative network that continues to empower Trump will collapse without him is laughable. These people aren’t beholden to that orange idiot. They will lose the person who brought them here but they have long been ensuring they won’t need him once he has gone. And those people aren’t nearly as inept as Trump.

    FFS:

    Trump isn’t LEADING the world, he is SUBJUGATING it!!

    Distinctly-different paradigm!

    Connect-to what ACTUALLY is real!
