At an event in North Carolina, Trump addressed the rising tensions in the Middle East and suggested the IDF should attempt to cripple Iran's nuclear program.

It wouldn’t hurt to bring this up the next time someone tells you Trump is an anti-war candidate.

    I know someone who was born in Palestine (but spent most of his life in the US) who will be voting for Trump because, and these are his words, “I just think he’ll be better”.

    Not even worth having the convo.

    “Where’s the harm in that? I had an Uncle who was very good with the nuclear. One time, he dropped a nuclear bomb, jumped on top of the bomb, and then rode it down through the skies. One of the most beautiful scenes ever seen. Funny guy, my Uncle.” - added Donnie.

    Trump sounds like a tired old man who cannot think of all the consequences of a decision, so he’s just picking the laziest option.

    There’s no precedent in history for multiple nuclear powers waging a war, or getting pulled into one. There’s no telling what can happen because we’ve simply never been here before.

    And people who think their money or resources will save them from black swan events are forgetting all the previous black swan events which made losers of everyone. The Great Recession and Covid are two most recent ones.

    Most of all though, the major winners of WW2 are utter failures now. Britain is crumbling and not even a shell of its former glory, and America is eating itself from the inside out thanks to Russian PsyOps war 300 while Republican losers are salivating after ww3.

    So no, ww3 is not going to MAGA, but more like nail the MAGA coffin shut

    “We don’t have any evidence (other than Yemen and very public statements) that Donald will do that, therefore we must collectively throw our ballots in the garbage for some reason.”
