I’ll declare myself President of the United States.

Difference is I’d actually do a better job.

[-] bfg9k@lemmy.world 10 points 1 hour ago

I can declare whatever the fuck I want but it doesn't make it real you fuckass

I have just now declared that the USA is my territory.

See, nobody cares.

To trumpy: The trump/epstein mp4's you degenerate pervert. Remember those? No matter what outrageous shit you do as a bona fide degenerate pervert the trump/epstein mp4 files will always be there. Deal with it motherfucker and hate us even more for it. Please clock, tick, tick, tick (embolism go BOOM!).

Yeah I'm sure that will work.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 13 points 5 hours ago

[-] Eryn6844@piefed.blahaj.zone 14 points 5 hours ago

and i declare i am the empress of MARS. woop de dooo. the emperor has no clothes

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 4 hours ago

I wouldn't recommend the no clothes thing on Mars.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

I wouldn't recommend the no clothes thing on Trump.

[-] UnLocoPoco@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

Damn...I thought I was the emperor of the universe 😞

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

Sounds like he’s setting up justification for nukes. They attacked US territory.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 9 points 4 hours ago

That is a russian policy. But I see how you got the two failing empires mixed up.

[-] DeLacue@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago* (last edited 17 minutes ago)

It's still possible that Trump has gotten his wires crossed and thinks it's an American thing. All it takes is one of his Russian handlers to mention that that's how it works in Russian and for him assume it's the same in the US. His brain isn't great with nuance after all. It's not like he understands the hows or whys of preexisting policies anyway.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 49 points 9 hours ago

How does this dumbfuck manage to get STUPIDER with each passing day? It's like he's studying to get a PhD in Imbecility.

[-] MML@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 hours ago

Literally syphilis

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 29 points 8 hours ago

His brain is atrophying as his dementia continues to worsen.

[-] valkyre09@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago

I guess there’s still hope then that one of these days a piece of the brain will die where he loses the ability to speak & move. I’ll sleep well tonight to the thought that this vile piece of shit could die slowly, alone and afraid 🤗🛏️

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 2 points 42 minutes ago

Watching him have a stroke live on TV would be so cathartic.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 4 hours ago

It will be hilarious if Biden out lives him

[-] Strider@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Lowering the bar, day by day.

[-] aldhissla@piefed.world 11 points 7 hours ago

Somebody tell this 🤡 (and Putin too) that annexations can happen after a war, not during. If you try to do reichskommissariats before the end of the war, you're in shitty company and people will take you less seriously.

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago

Oh will the US have to give Hawaii back ...or is that different?

[-] aldhissla@piefed.world 1 points 56 minutes ago

Yes.

If you don't see how that's different, you're being obstinate.

But for completeness' sake, and our less discerning readers: HugeNerd has implied no significant difference between the US' annexation of Hawaii and the fiascos of Russia annexing and then losing e.g. Kherson, or Trump claiming sovereignty over a piece of land he probably couldn't even control for a day, let alone keep indefinitely.

Oh. 🙄

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 4 hours ago

I think the difference is that Hawaii was annexed in the 1890s not the 2020s things change over time.

[-] Abyssian@lemmy.world 25 points 9 hours ago

Why not just follow Israel's lead and declare all other countries and the buildings and homes in them property of the United States?

Then everyone else becomes a criminal tresspasser terrorist and they have to do what we say because they're bad and we're right and it's normal and reasonable for us to zip tie a man's peener and parade him naked in front of his family, they shoot the kids if they so much as look at the rocks that are everywhere because we smashed their neighbors house into rubble the day before.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 21 minutes ago

Basically Same energy

“Pretty soon, I will be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said during an address highlighting his administration’s efforts to combat crime in the U.S.

That'll do it. That'll stop crime in the US for sure. I can follow the logic

Michael Scott is really the perfect personnification!

That game should really be called 4d chess with multiverse time travel. They "only" added two dimensions to regular chess, but in regular chess the pieces don't move in all 3 dimensions, only 2.

That being said I have almost 20 hours in this game and am still too stupid for it, even if it's "only" 4D 😭

[-] BlaestEgnen@feddit.dk 1 points 2 hours ago

It's unfortunately a bad strategy to branch into new timelines, making high level play look like regular chess. Until one player is far behind and will do a long jump back to try to rescue the game state

Absolutely brilliant Trump. And now that you are at it, why not declare China a US territory too?
I wonder why nobody thought of that before? I guess it's because they don't have big brains. 🤡 🤢 🤣

[-] YouTalkinToMe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Why not Taiwan? Then TSMC doesn’t have to build factories in the US.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 53 minutes ago

Oh I thought he already did that. Must have slipped his mind. 😋

[-] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago

Too late, China called dibs.

[-] KulunkelBoom@lemmus.org 12 points 9 hours ago

Trump declares the moon is his.

Film at eleven.

[-] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

But like, personally his, not America's.

Anything to distract from the Epstein Files.
