Who, it turns out, was a fabulous person, most deserving of the Presidency. It was the bureaucracy that failed us, not Carter.
And Reagan committing treason.
One of many such occasions
Yeah but that fucked everybody.
Completely his fault. He signed a peace deal that gave them everything, then forced his way out of it. He should have held out for better conditions or stuck with the deal he’d signed. What a disgrace.
Or...you know...maybe not get into a war in the first place...
How was he supposed to distract from all the other awful shit about him in the news cycle if he didn’t!?
Coulda killed himself. I think that would work.
I mean the global celebration would certainly be disruptive but I’m more than happy to make that sacrifice
That would stick it to the libs. Otherwise he will very likely spend a lot of time on trial in courtrooms eventually.
They say its an irony that Trump.s "held hostage" by his bombing of Iran.
The itchy creepy irony is even worse.
Because the Republicans got the Ayatollahs to keep the American hostages held by promising money and weapons to Iran.
I don’t want to see this drag on for two more years, but I wouldn’t e surprised if his successor could reach an agreement quickly once assuming office. Trump will bad mouth such a deal. “We had them on the ropes, folks, then ___ came in and gave it all away. What are you gonna do?”
That would completely match his pattern. Of course it's all lies, he is the self-proclaimed President of Peace and said he would end the Ukraine war before he even got into office.
I hoped the article would explain the context, but it didn't (or I didn't find it). Why is Trump about to become Jimmy Carter? What did Jimmy Carter do that is analogous to the situation that Trump may find himself in?
Are you asking for a friend? /s
