We can’t control what others do and we can’t stop misfortune from striking. But we can control our own actions. Those who are financially prudent will most likely enjoy success, even if events don’t always go their way.
It’s beyond malignant narcissism, bullying or incompetence. This President is putting the world in danger.
He has no idea what he is doing strategically or diplomatically. He encourages war and indirectly gives aid and comfort to our worst adversaries. He sends the wrong message to the world. He only seeks to feed his ego.
He is the most dangerous man on the plant. He is a spoiled brat who never grew up. He has put our environment, our health, our long-term economic wellbeing at greater risk … and now this.
The South Korean and United States militaries view their annual drills in South Korea as more critical than ever. The stakes have risen dramatically as North Korea has gained battlefield expertise with drones and modern warfare by deploying troops to support Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The summer exercise had barely begun on Monday when President Trump denounced it, dealing yet another blow to the seven-decade-old alliance between Washington and Seoul.
In recent years, North Korea has not only expanded its nuclear arsenal but also repeatedly threatened to use it against South Korea, labeling its neighbor a “most hostile enemy.” Its leader, Kim Jong-un, has also forged a mutual defense treaty with Moscow, dispatching troops and weapons to support Russia’s war against Ukraine. Despite these escalations, Mr. Trump, in a social media post, characterized North Korea as “unthreatening and respectful” while boasting of his “very good relationship” with Mr. Kim.
In the same post, he also criticized the decades-old joint military drills with South Korea as “not only costly” but “totally inappropriate and hostile” toward North Korea.
Excerpt New York Times 8-17-26
During a phone interview with Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a direct threat regarding negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz:
The Washington Post
On Oman: When asked about parallel talks between Iran and Oman regarding a shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz, Trump warned: “If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the s* out of them.”The Washington Post
On Iran: Trump stated that Iran should “wave the white flag of surrender” and added that he has “no time schedule” and is “not in a hurry” to reach a deal.The Washington Post
What happened to the days away from a deal, they have no military, etc.? Now he is not in a hurry.
Men who understood power and responsibility and war…and hardship.
Please, please, Mr. Quinn, tell me when some of djt’s loyal supporters will realize that things have gone too far and seek to silence him before the world literally ends in a nuclear holocaust perpetrated by Iran or N. Korea? Rubio, of all his nearest and most loyal, is surely horrified by the dangers of cozying up to Kim, Putin and Xi. To forsake S. Korea, Ukraine and Taiwan in favor of despots who murder their own people in numbers too vast to count is unbelievable. If Pol Pot were still alive, he would probably be dining and playing golf at Mar-a-Lago. How can Melania, who was likely trafficked and grew up under communism stand this? What does her father think? Maybe they just believe they have died and gone heaven to live in such luxury. Idk.
Sadly, psychologists say they will never change. They see themselves as victims and he is their hero and facts don’t impress them. Very bad situation. Not unlike the 1930s in Europe.
indeed. I’m still thankful for our system of government and I hope a different, less violent and callous administration will soon replace the current one, before it’s too late for everyone.
