Trump’s Letter to Norway Should Be the Last Straw

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/01/trump-letter-to-norway/685676/

Wasn’t that time he mocked a disabled reporter the last straw? Or when he said he could just grab women by the pussy? Or when he tried to blackmail Ukraine? Or when he called a governor to ask for votes? Or when he incited a coup? Or was it when he raped and murdered children with Epstein?

That letter is all the proof anyone needs that the adults left the room a long time ago. It's just like one of his dementia-inspired tweets

Grab em by the pussy should have been the last straw!

Didn’t he mock a disabled person before that?

And a few vets, including multiple ones disabled from combat related injuries

And made fun of American POWs

I can't remember the timeline - whichever came first should have been the last.

Unfortunately it won't. The American society simply doesn't care of what Trump is doing outside USA or even worse it agrees with him. And I'm not talking about MAGA cult. https://bsky.app/profile/usapolling.bsky.social/post/3mcsfopfvik2u

I don't understand the downvotes. Trump was elected by a majority of states. They wanted a child molester for President.

And he got a majority in the popular vote too. Enough people went to vote or didn’t care enough to vote to make that happen.

FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 215d

Technically he didn't get the majority of the popular vote. He got more votes than any other candidate but he didn't get more than 50%

So many trolls today...

Trump won 32% of the eligible voter population.

Go back to Russia, Comrad.

Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 216d

I specifically said states, not population / popular vote. Funny that you'd try to dismiss me as a Russian Troll for pointing out that Americans voted for a child molester.

Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 216d (1 reply)

Lol, why are there so many obvious trolls on Lemmy today?

People like this clown are trying to create division and anger behind the lines standing against Trump.

According to the link I posted from USA Polling account, Americans still trust Republicans more than Democrats for foreign policy. What does this mean???

Trump is not at war with americsn people themselves. Hopefully americans learn from the experience and change the whole system

FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 215d

They won't

We have to start measuring in broken camel backs at this point.

Catma@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 216d

Americans continuing to use newly made up units of measurement rather than use the metric system.

Ironfist79@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 216d

All these last straws are really gonna break the camel's back.

FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 215d

The camel's back is vibranium

I am sure that the elected officials in DC are busy writing a mildly worded letter as I type this. What else do you want from them damnit!?

Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 216d

They started writing one, but then thought it best to cave and just give everyone in the GOP a firm handshake instead.

vodka@feddit.org · 2 pts · 216d

No no no, they're probably writing strongly worded orders for more F-35s. That'll show em!

BotsRuinedEverything@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 216d

The lack of any response whatsoever is proof that the coup is complete.

I've seen comments that seem to be assuming the regime will inevitably fall and there will inevitably be nuremberg trials to bring these monsters to justice. Hopefully it will happen but it isn't a given. Someone has to make it happen

Collect enough "last straws" and they won't be last anymore

Red_October@piefed.world · 5 pts · 216d

Yeah the "Last Straw" should have come years ago. It should have come in his first term. He should be in prison, where the only wars he can start are over who he's gonna blow next. We're way beyond any sense of the last straw, like he's only NOW gone too godamn far.

UnspecificGravity@piefed.social · 4 pts · 216d

Americans are cheering Trump goons sitting other Americans in the street. You think they give a shit what stupid crap he says to Norway?

elevenbones@piefed.social · 3 pts · 216d

Ha! They actually had more straws!

bender223@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 214d

should

FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 215d

The last straw before what? What is supposed to happen when the camel's back breaks?
