    But then again, the Trumpigula’s Republican Party abandoned American conservatism some time ago in favour of something else. Not sure what that something else is other than an illiberal reactionary populism with more than just a hint of oligarchic technocracy built around a cult of personality. In short, a disgrace.

      The counter-factual of Trump being Trump with nuclear brinksmanship would be fascinating to watch, not just for the outcome with Ukraine, but for the public discourse surrounding it. It goes without saying that the American left leaning media would be going insane about Trump bringing about the end of Western civilization, but each individual's response would be informative still.

        It also goes without saying that pretty much all of Trump's supporters would be creaming themselves, and posting those computer generated vaguely homo-erotic pictures of him in superhero costume and riding a big train that were at one time so popular.

        I was only joking

          I think you nailed it. Maggots are closeted faggots. Hence all the Trump homerotica.

              Nothing wrong with being gay, or having a feminine mindset. But if one has an issue with it, I would suggest not paying any close attention to the male phenotypes that end up resonating with left-leaning politics.

                You folks are all missing the goal of all of this...the Nobel Peace Prize - missed out last round - but this time he's gonna win that thing if he has to surrender Ukraine or threaten nuclear annihilation of Norway.

                  The field is wide open for Trump to earn a Nobel Peace Prize to a far greater extent than Barack Obama's glorified DEI participation trophy, but I'm sure even Trump is aware enough to know that the Nobel referees would sooner rewrite the rules mid-game than signal a touchdown for him.

                    That's why he'll threaten to Nuke Norway - can seem the meme already.

                            The story about the Florida patient who beat and broke every bone in a nurse's face - read a comment with 15K likes suggesting that Trump will likely want him in his administration.

                              Well, the real point is, if he answers the question in the affirmative, this war is just going to go on and on, so that explains his inability to answer what is in reality a very complex, difficult question, and why only Trump can give us peace. You don't have a strategy, and that man has a strategy. It might be a terrible strategy, but at least it's a strategy. What is your solution? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris don't have one.

                                  I wish Kelly hadn't cut him off as I wanted to hear what his response would be. "Well in my closed door session, you'll note that just before Russia crossed into Ukraine territory, a satellite caught a Ukrainian soldier on the border appearing to do the "fake punch" taunt to a Russian soldier, so technicallyyyyyyyy Ukraine started this shit. Don't start nothing, won't be nothin', I always say."

                                      He's certainly confused, and afraid to say the wrong thing. In this case, the confusion seems particularly stupid, as "Russia invaded Ukraine" crosses no rhetorical lines his bosses haven't crossed.

                                        He certainly didn't look particularly comfortable with his waffling. He's clearly been instructed by somebody who is more accustomed to bullshitting completely shamelessly.

                                          @Doctor-Phibes I don't think Trump runs such a tight ship that he instructs people what to say or not say. I think his staff have to absorb the rules by osmosis, and I think this guy is not very good at that.
