“Trump says…” so it means literally nothing.

Naich@piefed.world on 02 May 21:28 next collapse

It means the same thing as all the other times he says something stupid: he’s a senile fuckwit.

nymnympseudonym@piefed.social on 02 May 23:00 next collapse

Please. You diminish his life goals by failing to include “pedo” and “rapist”

… that the majority of us voters felt was super appropriate to take office a second time, no doubt due to the bang up job he did the first time.

mr_account@lemmy.world on 02 May 21:33 next collapse

It means he’s making another statement to manipulate markets on Monday

nymnympseudonym@piefed.social on 02 May 22:59 collapse

Not this time!

I fixed it by putting in “sell” order for market open on Monday. Gotta pay for my kid’s college tuition.

So ofc this will absolutely be the time the market goes down Monday AM. Make my pain your gain: buy put options

It means that he wasn’t going to get an AUMF from Congress in his 60 day window, which is what I pretty much expected. Now it sounds like he’s going to try to continue the blockade portion (i.e. not the bombing) but argue that imposing a blockade doesn’t constitute deployment of troops, which I suspect isn’t going to fly if it comes to court. But we’ll see how the legal and political maneuvering plays out.

if it comes to court

🤣

Cuba set the precedent over 65 years ago. It’ll probably fly

It means he has embroiled the US in yet another war (after campaigning on “no new wars”, because he had to distract from his involvement with sex trafficker J. Epstein.

Now he needs to keep the rhetoric up, because it’s becoming increasingly obvious that the Iran War is costing the US dearly.

nymnympseudonym@piefed.social on 02 May 23:01 next collapse

It’s probably already cost Taiwan.

(Unless they can do a deal with Ukraine and Japan to churn out a Gundam Drone Army)

It’s yet more gaslighting. “This isn’t a war, that would be illegal.”

A conflict ???????

Typotyper@sh.itjust.works on 03 May 00:15 next collapse

It’s Friday. He normally pushes one narrative to lower stock prices on a Friday and then another early in the week to scare the market so prices rise.

Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 03 May 00:42 next collapse

Nothing at all

HubertManne@piefed.social on 03 May 01:55 next collapse

it means hes calling it officially done then going to claim new action in the area is a new conflict and gets another 60 days.

MastKalandar@feddit.online on 03 May 03:05 collapse

Cuba you mean ??

HubertManne@piefed.social on 03 May 03:16 next collapse

no still iran but you see he stopped it so now its ended and its a new thing with iran and a new 60 days. this is how he thinks. you know. like a mother trumpin trumphole.

In addition to Cuba, yes

i_am_not_a_robot@discuss.tchncs.de on 03 May 02:22 next collapse

This is all for show. He’s violating the constitution because he can. If the war went to the current dysfunctional congress for approval, it would be a mix of “anything for you” and “it’s too late to stop now.”
