Trump is desperate to get his name on everything before he dies. He's always been desperate to get his name on things, and now that he's getting older and more infirm, he positively reeks of desperation.
But I suspect that the future historians won't be kind to him and eventually we'll get his name off of everything and his only real legacy will be in every list of history's worst American Presidents.

I think that was deliberate. See, it wasn't a mistake at all. He thought he was being cunning. "I can slip in calling it the strait of trump, and maybe it'll catch on. I'll cover for myself by pretending it was a mistake."
But because he's a narcissist, he just couldn't refrain from following that up with "but actually I don't have accidents. The fake news mainstream media will call it an accident. But if I did have an accident it would be big news".
Like, his brain is so rotted it doesn't even pick up on all those contradictions. He literally thinks he's being clever...
He can only acknowledge making a mistake when he thinks it's a lie intended to deceive people about something he did on purpose... the man is twisted...

fizzle@quokk.au · 71 pts · 130d
This is so pathetic. What an embarrassment.
Trump will be remembered for his many crimes and ethical bankruptcy. Inevitably after he's gone, there will be no incentive to cover for him, and the incentive will be to blame him for the terrible state in which he will leave the US economy and international relations.
Anyone with a pulse knows that he is a child rapist. Anyone with above-room-temperature IQ knows that he was deeply involved in Epstein's operation, acquiring, grooming, and warehousing girls. Any genuine investigation will produce evidence of that.
He's also single-handedly destabilised the global economy. The trillions of dollars his dumb ideas have cost everyone in productivity are just breathtaking.
Operation Epstein Fury is probably the USA's biggest and most costly unforced strategic error in history. The consequences will resound through the coming decades.
The culmination of this context is that he has accelerated China's rise to dominance and the USA's collapse into irrelevance. As an Australian, just 2 years ago I was keen for us to cosy up to the US in the hope that the yanks would help us push back on China's expansion of influence in the region. Honestly, now I feel more comfortable with China than I do with the US.

I don't know, the history of geopolitics is pretty huge...
fizzle@quokk.au · 1 pts · 129d
That's true, but I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that there's a chance this conflict could escalate, and precipitate a global depression, at a time when mankind faces other disasters like climate change.
Like a global financial depression lasting a decade or more, some climate change tipping points, some food chain collapse, water shortages, increasing severity of storms and droughts.
All these things weren't caused by this conflict but this conflict was an unnecessary burden at the worst possible time.
It's true that "worst in the history of geopolitics" is a big declaration, but I think this is in that kind of magnitude.
wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 129d
I think "worst [anything] in the history of the world" is a bold and contentious statement, but mostly unnecessary and missing the point. There are plenty of major historical fuck ups to choose from.
Requesting the Mongol invaders to kill your enemies for you? You done fucked up.
Requesting Western Europe to send help defending the borders of Byzantium? You done fucked up.
Attacking the Danes bathing in the river because English women find them more attractive? You done fucked up.
Yeah, attacking Iran is a major fuck up. But I believe that categorically, superlatives are unnecessary in historiology.

This is getting bigger by the day.
Fuel shortages in SE Asia. This affects many industries the US gets products from.
China has suspended mineral shipments to the US and restricted fertilizer exports.
Russia is all but openly aiding Iran and likely instigating some of the actions.
Panic buying is happening in South America.
Diesel is over $10/gallon in some places.
Gas prices are hitting record highs in some places in the US.
And these effects are “rubber band” effects. They lag behind the actual impetus driving them.
This is going to get worse. A lot worse. These events are red flags. And if nation groups start taking sides over the conflict we are going to possibly see a far greater war and massive privation globally.

Isn't the US a net exporter of oil? Why does this cause US gas prices to go up?
Havoc8154@mander.xyz · 12 pts · 129d
To put it more explicitly: If a US oil producer can sell a barrel to Indonesia for $150 a barrel, why would they sell it to California for $100?
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 129d
You answered your own question.
We export the oil. The oil is bid on via a global market. That market sets the price of oil.
The companies selling oil and gas from the US sources have no loyalty to the US, they’re going to make money however it suits them.
LavaPlanet@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 129d
There's different types of oil, that take different types of machinery to process, basically the oil from the US has to be exported to other refineries, because they don't have the infrastructure to be able to use (or process) their own raw product.
Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 129d
Because of market rules. Supply has shot down but demand hasnt.
jj4211@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 129d
Adding to the other comments that point out opportunity to sell overseas is too tempting.
Also despite being a net exporter, some places are likely to import.
In the southeast, prices have gone up, but not as much as the West Coast. So much logistics to feed the pipelines that would be so tricky to get into ships, that is not worth doing it. So places where boats play a large role in oil logistics, well those places are subject to global market conditions more.
phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 129d
Because oil and gas are both globally marketed.
And one reason US prices for gasoline are higher is because the US is a net exporter. If all US production stayed in the US, prices would be lower.

Team sports mentality. Trump is "their guy" and however he royally screws up "at least he's not a Democrat"
Also, a lot of folks said point blank voting for Trump is being a sucker and a fool, and to go against Trump is to admit they got fooled.
Yesterday in an interview I heard the MAGA person was hard core that whatever the government is doing, they secretly have reasons they can't tell us because spilling the Intel would be so dangerous. Pretty much the same crowd whining about a liberal government keeping secrets from them now celebrates secrets being managed by the conservatives.
The alternative would have been a woman of color and damned if they ever suggest that could have been a better outcome.
Additionally, the racists do still have the Hispanics getting screwed over and afraid. The people who got injured and killed were "obnoxious liberals" that are better gone anyway.
Of course this is also as close as they have seen in decades of federal policies trying to make it harder for poor people and women to vote.
There's a lot of vile sentiment and being close to that being followed is worth having problems.

Including people outside of MAGA, he's got the worst approval rating ever. But MAGA is all that matters to the administration, they view the rest as terrorists/enemies anyhow -- just like how they view other western democracies as enemies these days. CNN may as well say that his approval rating is negative in the IRGC, for all the administration cares.

Oh I'm sure they'll respond to completely idle threats this time. That's definitely going to work no doubt.
How does he manage to keep out doing himself like this? You think he's hit peak stupidity, and then he just out trumps himself. I don't think the world can survive another 3 years of this lunatic.

We really need a counter of the days he has left in office.
Every news article should start with "With only X number of days left in his reign of terror, Trump said Y".

Nuthatches are cute. Small, noisy, and they shit on everything, but they're at least cute and harmless.

He's sooo upset about not winning it. I don't think he realizes that he will get to suffer this same humiliation every year. He's making it so much harder on himself by bringing it up all the time.
Unless he's trying to send some weird message to the committee that he'll end the war if they give him the award?

$20B to Iran would open the SoH for 2 weeks, and give time for rest of world to make deals with Iran for permanent access. Markets are losing $3T per week, in addition to future economy destroyed for many years. US will not get a better deal. Buying Iran's uranium (at very high price) is also key to "declaring victory" over denuclearization.

Everything about this news makes me wish I could shout "oh for crying out loud, will you just shut up, you deeply deeply weird man" at Trump's face. Unfortunately, I live on the other side of the world and I have other worries to deal with.
