Trump Blames Biden For Firing the U.S.’s Missile Stockpile at Iran

https://newrepublic.com/post/214190/trump-biden-missile-weapons-stockpile-depleted

President Trump thinks that a decision Joe Biden made two years ago is the reason for the U.S. munitions shortage—not his costly and unpopular war on Iran.

“They talk about munitions—and we’re fine with munitions, we’re fine. But the reason it would be lower—and we’re building them like crazy—but the reason it’s low is [Joe Biden] gave three hundred billion dollars worth to Ukraine,” Trump said on the Real America’s Voice network Tuesday morning.

Holy shit, he looks 3 minutes away from death in that picture. I admit I haven't seen the most recent pictures of him, but I don't recall him looking this haggard.

It's an old photoshop though.

Back in my day we had to make Trump uglier manually with filters and morph tools.

Fucking AI takin' r jorbs.

Why did Joe Biden shit my pants?

This seems to be a Trump problem, but it's really not. Trump is the undisputed standard bearer for all Republicans - each and every one of them fully supports his insanity and allows it to continue. They know they've put a literal child rapist in charge and have done nothing but protect him and everyone else in the Epstein files.

Trump's image should replace the elephant as the mascot of the GOP.

Conservatives value in-group solidarity more than almost anything else. That's like their defining characteristic.

Incidentally, that's almost always characteristic of a bad person. The antithesis of "love your neighbor", for example.

It's literally the definition of facism. It's what a fasces is, a group of sticks.

It's also why they're winning, we have no solidarity on our side

Your comment reminded me of a book a read a long time ago about the psychology of politics. There was a whole chapter about how Republicans find I easier to all agree with each other.

Why would you want him to look skinnier, more in shape, more attractive? ;-)

Truly elephants are the perfect elephant shape and it's not their fault those slimeballs stole their image. The GOP should just use one of the pictures Epstein took of Trump on hands and knees sucking Putin's dick while Bubba rails him from behind.

Dems aren't great, but if you really think that things were no better with Biden or Obama you're delusional or off your meds.

Well, had the Biden Justice Dept actually done their fucking job, Trump would be in prison right now and our munitions stockpiles would be where they should be. So sure, Biden should shoulder some of the blame.

FoxtrotDeltaTango@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 25d

Yeah, but not all of the blame though

In tomorrow's news, Trump discovers that someone has shat his pants, blames Biden.

D_C@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 25d

Bullshit. LIES. Fake news.
We all know that Obama is the one who shits the fat orange paedos pants, and not Joe "Let's take the slowest possible way to prosecute the orange Fatboy" Biden.

Making sure I have enough missiles seems to be the kind of thing I would take care of before launching a war against military superpower but what do I know

Eldritch@piefed.world · 23 pts · 26d (1 reply)

He's always had a low missile count and an undersized launcher.

Hmm. People have described it as mushroom-like, and what to nukes cause? You may be on to something.

I don't want it, mind, you can keep it, but still. heh

So just to recap, no one will negotiate with him and he's run out of sticks, so having increased the price of everything everywhere in the world that's just how things are now.

Well done Americans.

Best thing you can do is toss our diplomats out and stop trading with us. Don't even talk about our wannabe dictator.
