”I think you would have nuclear holocaust, if I didn’t deal with North Korea,” he explained, and then added: “And I think you might have a nuclear war now, if you want to know the truth.”

It is still worth remembering that Obama tried to work with North Korea, but the Republicans shamed him because they said he should only meet with them if they agreed to get rid of their nukes.

Trump did nothing to protect the world from North Korea, but gave Kim Jong-Un a nice photo op to help legitimize his power.

Thank god he negotiated a peace deal with the hurricane at the last minute.

Why do you think Idalia ravaged Florida? It's because Trump wasn't president with his magic sharpie... Obviously.

I averted bank robbery….by not robbing the bank.

It's like watching Cartman come up with crazier and crazier stories as he takes credit for the fish sticks joke

[-] [email protected] 80 points 2 years ago

He might actually believe that himself.

And I'd like to see him in jail as much as the next one, but is this really news? "Colossal narcissist brags about his achievements".

Trump narrowly averted a nuclear holocaust... by forgetting how the Football works.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

They haven't given him the football. It's just a briefcase with an Arduino and some LEDs in it.

The ~~internet~~football doesn't weigh anything, ~~Jen~~Mr. President.

And friends of mine have said, you are the most honest person in the world.

LMFAO. Does the world have recorded audio or recorded video of any other human being in the history of humanity making more provably false statements than trump? No. If there was a Guinness world record for lying, trump would be the record holder.

Washington couldn't tell a lie

Nixon couldn't tell the truth

Trump couldn't tell the difference

I averted nuclear holocaust because I couldn't remember the codes for it

Fun fact: that's not a defense for any of his crimes.

Trump is going to die in federal custody if he doesn't off himself first.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago

We can only hope, but I have zero trust in the justice system to sentence him to any jail time.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

I said custody, not jail time. An ex-president knows too much to be left in General Population.

As long as we don't fuck up & elect a Republican, Trump isn't walking away from 91 felonies. He will die alone under house arrest at a military base.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

That's fair, it would be nice if he they gave him just a standard house on a base.

If the justice system fails to act, won't someone rid me of this meddlesome ex-president?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

He could also try running to Russia

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Well he's already revealed all the state secrets, so there isn't much risk I suppose.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

That didn't work for Manafort. I'm not sure Trump's Secret Security detail would allow that, even if he wasn't under indictment for 91 felonies.
