Of course he did. The man is evil personified.

svecrumba.bsky.social•12 days ago

Everything Trump does is for his own benefit, everyone else be damned; yes, evil personified.

yenchick.bsky.social•12 days ago

Hard for this elderly to keep up, but does their aid come fr USAID? So if he's already stopped it, doesn't seem like and art of the deal to me.

svecrumba.bsky.social•12 days ago

Aid to Egypt and Jordan come primarily from Department of State and the Department of Defense

Let's face it. The sun is setting on the American Empire. Why would any nation trust us going forward? Well played, Putin.

This man is a raving lunatic.

svecrumba.bsky.social•12 days ago

He is that, and sadly Republicans are too cowardly to stand up to the insanity.

csapidus.bsky.social•12 days ago

On the other hand, he got tough with the penny.

svecrumba.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yeah, there is that.🙄

Such a crooked wanna be mob boss

Donald Trump is a rapist! He rapes everything he touches. He raped his father's legacy, raped his children's futures, raped contractors' payments, raped his 1st wife, raped casino shareholders, & over 20 women say he assaulted them as well. Now, he's raping Lady Liberty & our nation. Fight back!

47 wants to ban charges for bribery of foreign countries. Why? As he puts pressure on Egypt to take Palestinians or face consequences Egypt will bring receipts for the supposed $1 million delivered, post election. Deal made before he became 45 so no immunity, paid once in office so maybe immunity.

But who will lend money to Egypt so they can buy American weapons?

jangoodell.bsky.social•12 days ago

But there is no aid

He's a nut case & I still don't believe his administration is Constitutional, any more than an 18 year old who wins a presidential election, or a South African-born who wins the election. Just because they were afraid to tell him he couldn't run, doesn't mean it was Constitutional.

I'm sure the Chinese will happily pick up the tab.

udonknowm3.bsky.social•12 days ago

Rewording: The Chinese will happily pick up Netanyahu's tab? Netanyahu insisted on eradicating Gaza.... for some reason.

BRILLIANT!!!🤬

sjostromcgs.bsky.social•12 days ago

He’s going to have so many enemies in the Middle East. Not a wise move. Very scary.

tempvsfvgit76.bsky.social•12 days ago

You can always count on trump to have the worst possible instinct and do the worst possible thing for America. This would be a strategic disaster and only weaken America.

derkoolschrank.bsky.social•12 days ago

He'd do anything. This was a scoop, not a gag:

rebeccaamccoy.bsky.social•12 days ago

He’s just a goddamned mob boss, threatening countries to do whatever he wants.

lorilolo1.bsky.social•12 days ago

He "THINKS" he is. Don't actual mob bosses have brains though? 🥴

hsrivney.bsky.social•12 days ago

Why does he even get a dog in this fight?

svecrumba.bsky.social•12 days ago

He shouldn't; it's obvious he and equally corrupt Netenyahu are working together.

joeyotis.bsky.social•12 days ago

Why doesn’t Trump “take in” the Palestinians? Why should other countries do it but not ours?

saynea.bsky.social•12 days ago

Does he understand what's going on? The programs that provide aids have already been shut down supposedly at his request per Elon.

svecrumba.bsky.social•12 days ago

Trump is operating under several puppet masters, IMHO. That said, I don't think he cares about the consequences.

giakson.bsky.social•12 days ago

It's called leverage and the Repub majority can certainly do that but, this all seems so 1800s to me with the USA doing to the Palestinians what they did to native Americans. Israel will not rebuild homes for Palestinians. They've been building illegal settlements for years. 21st century anyone?

He is going to make the entire Muslim world hate him... more than they already do. Maybe they will take drastic measures against him... (wink, wink, nod, nod.)
