He should just stop.

This was worth the read. I’m glad he spelled it all out so concisely before the elections.

Every legit media company needs to jump on this until November.

This war was about diverting money away from social programs to punish the poor and middle class.

“Tonight I’m making a little speech at 9 o’clock and basically I’m gonna tell everybody how great I am.”
This guy is so disconnected from reality it is baffling.
Edit: Apparently I need a /s here as people don’t get the shot at the New Republic who try’s to claim to support liberals.

If he wants the individual states to pay for everything, there should only be state tax. No federal taxation.

Can’t stomach more than 90 seconds. What did the “big, strong men with tears in their eyes” thank him for this time?

>We could just take their oil. But, you know, I’m not sure that the people in our country have the patience to do that, which is unfortunate.
That’s called “pillaging” asshole, and it’s a war crime.

seriously, who’s saying this?
““We could just take their oil. But, you know, I’m not sure that the people in our country have the patience to do that, which is unfortunate. You know, they want to see it end. If we stayed there, I, you know, I’d prefer just to take the oil. We could do it so easily. I would prefer that, but people in the country sort of say, ‘Just win, you’re winning so big. Just win, come home,’”

Anyone else find it weird that Metzger, who is the one who posted this on X, listened intently to the hour long speech until Trump started talking about winding down the Iran war? Just coincidence I guess

The fact that he’s complaining about not being able to do more authoritarian things while fantasizing about being a king should terrify every American. This isn’t even a dog whistle anymore, it’s him straight up admitting his fascist fantasies at an Easter lunch of all places.

The US will never ever be able to claim the moral high ground again after choosing him of all people to represent them.

When will people learn… don’t matter what piggy says or does, those that should care don’t. Those that could do something don’t.
None of this is new. Everyone knows who and what piggy is… and he is still President, still in charge and that is not going to change till he leaves this plane of existence… hell, the status quon will likely stay the same even then because there is someone as bad – or worse – waiting to step in. Things are not going back to the way they were when we had a sane president. Our grandkids or great grandkids MIGHT see things move back in that direction, but we won’t.

> “I can’t get a ballroom approved. It’s pretty amazing, right?” Trump also said in the speech. “If I was a king, we’d be doing a lot more. I’m doing a lot, but I could be doing a lot more if I was a king.”
Not that they weren’t justified before, but this quote gives so much more merit to the No Kings protests.

He just puts more nails in the GOP midterms coffin every time he opens his pie hole. Soon, the Dem’s could run a Golden Retriever and win November

He also [got supper fucking racist in it](https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mihqo2kdj225) but even our liberal leaning media doesn’t care about the open white supremacy going on.
