5T to continue, 2.5T to stop.
So what does 0T get you?
An angry tweet.
But does that mean the war is over or the war continues?
Yes
$0 - Wild Draw 4
Remember when Dr Evil demanded a cool 100 billion in Austin Powers?
Dr. Evil:
$0 to continue with nuking the planet core.
$100 Billion dollars to NOT nuke the planet core.
Trump:
$0 to keep going I guess?
$2.5 Trillion to STOP the war.
$5 Trillion to also keep going?
At least Dr. Evil could make a logical plan.
A ransom? They’re getting attacked anyway over a war they didn’t start. At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if they invited Dipshit here to the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul and smoothed things over locally themselves.
With a roller-compactor right?
I think they prefer barrels
Clearly no one is responsible enough to hold the “Holy Land” by themselves, and the God of Abraham lets each religion come and take it over and lose it all the time, so no one is actually the favorite. “Ohh, you’re my favorite- NOW SUFFER!!!” WTF kind of abusive relationship is this?
I suggest we take the King Solomon route and wall off Jerusalem and say no one can go there until everyone sorts out their differences and play nice with each other. Maybe if we’re lucky, in 20,000 generations people will forget what was there, since that will happen before religious nuts cooperate on anything.
Surely this leopard will not eat my face. When will people learn, hell always, always, betray you eventually, unless you have the tapes.
>start war
>ask everyone else to pay for your war
>threaten more war if they don’t pay for the first war
THE ART OF THE DEALLLLLLLLLLLLLL
His presidency perfectly summarized. He‘s a mean bully that destroys things but if you give him your lunchbox and make some flattering remarks he‘ll be a little less shitty to you, personally. Rinse and repeat until the country he runs is no more.
The only people he’s been less shitty to are the ones who stood up to him, not the ones who surrendered their lunchboxes.
And it’s even better than that - he thinks they should pay if the war continues, AND if the war stops. Haha, got you there! So sneaky!
…it’s so fucking dumb.
I want this formally written in Trumps obituary
They could bring it up in trumps board of peace.
We are bored with peace, give us trillions!
What’s insane about this is that the US are actively or accidentally targeting their Gulf allies and then blaming Iran as well…

Maybe we’ll see someone beheading a half-human orangutan in the middle east soon…the US citizenry won’t do it…someone else will.
OMG he might be the first president to unite all of the Arab countries. Peace prize wen?
Israel is the only one that should be paying for this shit
I disagree. The US is ultimately responsible and should pay everyone else. The US has enabled Israel, its attack dog, to torture everyone in the region. Without the US, Israel would have had to adopt a different attitude towards its neighbors if it planned on surviving in West Asia.
lol This guy is so fucking dumb.
I thought Putin would hold the record for a loooong time for most epically failed military gambit in modern history, but Trump’s catching up quick.
So you cause billions of dollars in damages, crash economies, cause thousands of deaths and… Nobody asked for this, nobody wanted this and…
Now you want money for it to continue, or even more money for it to stop?
There’s a good chance that he is only demanding a bribe for peace. If they do not agree, colour revolutions will be made against them, and perhaps Iran will have more influence over them, unless they pay US for peace that preserves their monarchies. The war costs are the destruction of their country.
This is the only coherence to report.
FreshParsnip demands Trump be imprisoned
Trump really is a mafioso.
USA is a failed state. A damn mighty failed state.
The compiler??
