We're way past the no clothes territory and well into the sitting naked in a bathtub full of ice cubes yelling "Off with their heads!" while blowing bubbles with his own saliva.
At least then it would be easier to document, but alas (or fortunately for those nearby)...it is visually more subtle.
You should re-watch Kamala Harris' speeches and analyse her wording compared to Trumps. The hard part is this though: Don't hold back because of the parties affiliation.
Not a single Republican office holder will be in a position to distance themselves from the generational economic catastrophe that Trump is about to create.
The last forty years mostly pale in comparison to what we're about to experience. And the few moments that are as close to as bad (e.g. 2008) they were able to plausibly partially blame Democrats for because they didn't have unified control.
Dead men tell no tales. Demented men understand no tales. A perfect match. I am sure the birds on those islands will get right on dealing with tariffs.
Because Trump can’t speak coherently so everyone is always translating it into something that makes sense - occasionally making it more insane than actuality
Thinking to the 1980s Reagan admin scandal about Nancy Reagan consulting psychics about doing things and maybe having that influence his decisions. Meanwhile the sitting president is talking directly to ghosts...
You laugh but I found Iacocca’s book in a little library and took it home to hide in my spouses book case and there is a chapter in it titled Making America Great Again
i have one copy from when i was young and read it out of genuine interest about the guy behind the mustang and the chrysler recovery who was also from eastern PA, and a second copy because it litters thrift store book shelves in the detroit metro area
It looks like he just told the minions to list a whole lot of pacific islands, to make it look like he has a strategy. What did Sao Tome and Principe ever do to US?
I get that his an idiot but we don't need to make false statements to prove it.
Trump says, "He's an older guy. Real pro. Really top guy with Lee Iacocca." When it's laid out like that, it seems pretty clear that Trump meant the guy who spoke to him once worked with Iacocca
We're not putting a tariff on the South Sandwich Islands or South Georgia? Did you know that Argentina build a military base in secret on one of the SSI before the invasion of the Falklands? Argentina claims those islands along with the Falklands, even though they're not inhabited currently?
That is plausible. Trump is friends with Javier Milei, who takes economic advice from his dead dogs through his psychic. Milei could have just easily given the psychic’s phone to Trump. Shitcoin rug pills are not the only thing Trump and Milei have in common.
But he probably did discuss it with Lee Iacocca! He's been wanting to do this for the past 10 years. He's pissed off the entire world. He feels like he's god.
#Factcheck: ‘Donald Trump Did NOT say he talk to Lee lacocca about his tariff plan. In reality, Trump claimed a man who had worked with Iacocca - but not Iacocca himself - had praised his tariff plans.’
My point is he *is* competent with respect to his own goals: punish perceived enemies, grift with abandon, control media narratives, and grind America into dust. I wish more analysts would stop assuming he’s well-intentioned.
A majority of this is him simply signing off on other people's writings, I would doubt even 5% of this is his own take on anything or even his own policies tbh. They can't even get him to sign off consistently
Also very perpetually 80s. Does anyone underneath the age of 50 even know who the fuck Lee Iococca is or even why he had a celebrity CEO moment in the 80s?
Trump is obviously not able to carry out the duties of President, so that means someone else - someone who wasn't elected - is running the country. Impeachment is the only solution. Vance is bad, but he's not senile. Congress needs to get down to business.
Someday the population of the Heard and McDonald islands will rise up in defence of their non-existent exports, all 0 of them.
To be fair, their balance of payments must also be 0.
It's almost like a DOGE staffer lifted the list off a website of UN recognised territories.....
pretty sure that they threw shit like this in there so people would talk about that rather than how terrible this is. They do this all the time because it seems to work.
I'm leaning towards the "crazy idiot" explanation since if they were smart enough to figure that out, one assumes they'd be smart enough to realize what a monumentally stupid idea doing this in the first place is.
To be fair, the illustrious legal minds of the US have been treating decisions justified by apparent seance with (rather pliable) 17th century figures as reasonable, legitimate, and seriously conducted business for going on a half century at this point.
A century ago, the joke would be that he held a seance.
But we’re in 2025 now, so the new joke is that he talked to an AI of a dead person. We’ve just replaced fake spiritualists using smoke and mirrors with fake technologists using code modification.
Iacocca probably told him his last term that some particular tariff that helped Lee's businesses was great,
so now he's using that as confirmation that tariffs were one of his best ideas*.
* Which they kind of are, but only because all the others are even worse and this upsets business donors.
The British Indian Ocean Territory has no permanent population (anymore, the British expelled the native population to build the base), and it’s economy, such as it is, is solely providing goods & services to the soldiers and contractors stationed there
George III would be a marked improvement from our current situation.
That said, have we heard from Lutnick yet regarding his mother-in-law’s next move vis-a-vis Trump‘s moronic trade war?
British Indian Ocean Territory only exists as a separate colony and not an independent nation with its own population still present to house a U.S. military base. So we're tariffing our own base? Huh!?!?!
A UK territory. No real inhabitants on the other islands in the chain just passing stranded refugees every now and then. Lease between UK-US expires 2036.
Yes, it's a U.K. territory, but its military base is primarily U.S. and it should have been given to the Maldives upon their independence and there used to be a native population but they were literally forced out do the U.K. could seize the islands for a U.S. U.K. joint base.
That post you've screenshotted has been deleted because it's false. He said he saw someone who used to work with Iacocca. He did not say he talked to Iacocca. Trump said enough bullshit that we shouldn't be posting things he didn't actually say.
Thank you. I was looking to see if this was real. If he had actually said he was talking to dead guys, I would think even the mm would be reporting that.
U.S. goods exports to Russia in 2024 were $526.1 million. U.S. goods imports from Russia totaled $3.0 billion in 2024. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Russia was $2.5 billion in 2024.
Yes, I checked and Trump did say, in a very mumbled, hard to follow way, that he "watched a gentleman today on... television, he used to work with Lee Iacocca..." You should delete or deskeet
He did do some deals with iaccoca himself. Iaccoca dumped a lot of his Chrysler parachute into failing WB FL condo when WPB was wrong side of tracks. Trump branded it & it did sell out. During pandemic lies the Condo removed his name.
The point is to tank the economy. Rich people benefit. Until EVERyONE realizes that, shock and disbelief are fruitless. Start the real conversation. Now.
An uninhabited island that is not even a separate country. It's part of Australia. As is Norfolk Island, which gets 29% for some reason while the rest of Australia gets 10%
Don Moynihan is just making shit up. Did Trump say the conversation was after Lee passed?? Or maybe Trump had been discussing ideas about economics & international trade for many years?
Did you forget YOU LOST THE ELECTION? Because you pretend to brains you don’t have.

Trump is going to end up in Hoover territory.
Fasces. I bet it’s fasces
Is trump actually . . . . . . . . Frankenstein's Monster?
Followup: "What do you mean Ouija boards don't have a percent sign?!"

Demented people and 3yr olds. Trump could be both, simultaneously.
