The incoherent way this is written makes it read as if his plan is to destroy the middle East and, indeed, the world alongside stopping - sorry, stoping- Iran from having nukes.
Iran never even wanted nukes, they only enriched Uranium as leverage for sanctions relief.
This was never about nukes!
They even continued to follow the JCPOA even after the deal was terminated and continued enrichment because Trump put additional sanctions on Iran after backing out.
Read it as written: "… of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is , and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World.“ Yes, that‘s exactly what‘s in his interest: Destroying the world.
let's screw over everyone in our country who isn't in the 10%.. and while we are at it screw over all our allies... then wonder why they wont support you..
fair but I'm not sure we need to go that far for the number of people screwed. the top 10% would be well enough off to weather this.foe a while. some that only just squeek in to that group might bitch about it, rest.. might never have lifted a fuel pump in their life.
Big oil makes a lot of money, Midstream pipeline owners make a lot of money by raising prices everywhere; cost to refine, supply chain activities, cost to truckers, cost to consumers. Chevron 4th quarter 2025 raked in $3 Billion. In 2024 Chevron raked in $17,661,660,000 Billion dollars net. https://www.chevron.com/newsroom/media/publications/annual-report
It’s going to take a whole hell of a lot more than Donnie kicking the bucket to actually fix this shit. The puppet might be gone, but the puppeteers remain.
I'm not following the Walrus and the Carpenter, it's more the other oysters have picked me up and are carrying me... I can't CHOOSE to let Trump go do what he's going to do and have it not affect me
Why has he been signing off "Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald J Trump", for like the last three years. I genuinely don't understand the thank you part, unless it's something very important or specific. That way, I could understand. And why sign his name when it's clearly him saying it? Unless it's not. Maybe a speech to word generator? That would make sense as to why he posts 50 times a day, and often at night. Did I just break the code?
Well he is referring to his "friends" and his cult followers believe that they are included in "we" and getting the spoils of trickle down any minute now.
Why we he means him and his billionaire friends. Who would have them shot in the back of the head if you ever became an embarrassment that they couldn't stop
So... Trump has a history of obviously conceptualizing countries through their leader. He lives in a real estate tycoons world. So "America" for him, is kind of synonymous with "his company".
When he says "we", he means (not conciously thinks, but instinctually means) his concept of "America", which is a collectice entity that works for him. American oil companies making money, is "America" making money, is "we" make money, is he makes money, as he considers all money made by "America" to be >
Or in other words, think of Trump conceptualizing the world through the lense of a Paradox strategy game, like Hearts of Iron and him thinking of world leaders as other players.
Not Europe. After fucking us over with tariffs, threats and making us buy all weapons supplied to Ukraine, he now added screwing us by raising the oilprices. Who is we? His pal Putin obviously.

Same logic that tariffs are not a tax on Americans. They are, he just lies to people.

When he talks about ‘we’ or ‘our’ hes talking about himself and his loligarchy rape buddies. Definitely not about the majority of the country.
