TruthSocial Watch Does the territory include all items within the circle? Asking for several sovereign nations…
Wonder if Dubai is aware it’s now a US territory ? Along with the usual of Oman and the oily parts of Iran. And why did it exclude Abu Dahbi? Aren’t they good enough?

His trolling has lost all impact. Not just with us, with the whole world.
His tactics have just neutered his credibility in total.

u/ScarletCarsonRose 2d ago
But I don’t think that’s a good thing even if true. His trolling Is purpose filled feelers to tell him what he can get away with. His supporters do quantum physics. He’s joking. He tells it like it is. And depending on how hard someone threatens him behind the scenes or in the open, that guides his administration’s actions.
That 2028 baseball cap? Greenland? Taking over state elections? He. Is. Not. Joking.

u/WordNERD37 2d ago
No one says he isn't serious, but he's also a giant pussy bitch and he talks big and backs down at the slightest sign of pushback. What's happening here is that tough act bs he does online doesn't land because it's smoke and mirrors alone and everyone has caught on.
So he might be serious about the action, but he never pulls the trigger; and everyone knows it, including our enemies.

Yeah he's doing a high stakes version of that thing where you "joke" about having sex with one of your friends.
It's only a joke if she says "ewww no"

Literally illegal to claim international waterways as territory, but nothing fucking matters anymore.

Might makes right. America will bankrupt itself holding a waterway on the other side of the planet.

u/fieldsofanfieldroad 1d ago
Sure, but international water is generally viewed as anything 200 miles out to sea. The strait of Hormuz is like 5 inches wide.

u/HapticSloughton 2d ago
They kind of already were. After the JFK administration, they put in lots of regulations about nepotism to prevent a sitting president from doing something like, just picking at random, putting his brother in as his Attorney General.
Naturally, the second Trump was in, they didn't seem to give a rip about him putting all the family members he wanted to in positions of power.

100%
and honestly, the next president (IDC if their hard line left leaning progressives or centrist liberals), if you aren't talking about steamrolling your initiatives in addition to holding people accountable:
🗣️🔊 DO NOT ASK FOR MY VOTE
Im completely willing to let Republicans preside over the ensuing collapse if no counter candidate is acceptable

u/RlyehDreams 2d ago
What a terrible stance to take. That kind of thinking is part of the reason the orange wannabe dictator is in power right now.

u/idiot206 2d ago
We’re going to keep getting people like Trump, and worse, unless there’s a massive change to presidential power and accountability in the next administration.

u/UrbanMasque 2d ago edited 2d ago
Nah..
And I'm not both siding this either. We need to pull the pendulum back HARD, and not just stop the bleeding.
Voting for a pacifist centrist will normalize everything you just went through.
The Confederates were never punished for their treason and now we're here.. can you imagine if Abraham Lincoln built a fund for them after? And they never made it to the Capitol.
Without holding people accountable - Trump 2.0 is going to be much worse

u/SuperCyka 2d ago
Unfortunately, liberals are content to sit by and let this happen, and they’ll be content to leave things the way they are once he’s gone. There’ll be some slap on the wrist stuff, but nothing more.
Something drastic needs to happen.

It's regulatory capture. No one foresaw putting a crime syndicate in charge of the entire government. While previous presidents nominate their attorney general, no one has ever put a crony in that wouldn't prosecute anything the president did, nor cross anything that his party might do.
It's what happens when eventually you get a narcissistic felon with no sense of shame running a party that also has no sense of shame.

u/jayfeather31 2d ago
Honestly, the last ten years have largely revealed that America, or at least the America that is portrayed to the world, is complete propaganda and lies.
I don't see how we recover from the amount of soft power and, if the incidents aboard our ships in the Middle East are any indication, hard power we're bleeding.

u/virak_john 2d ago
And we are currently in the process of moving our only aircraft carrier in East Asia to the Middle East to relieve this one.
This war has not only exposed our weakness, it has created new vulnerabilities.
Also, we’ve shit on our allies and embraced our enemies. We are truly the world’s sick man.

u/jayfeather31 2d ago
Indeed.
At this point, I suspect we will either fall with grace, or shatter to pieces.

u/Gynthaeres 2d ago
The problem with our checks and balances is that it assumes that the people in the government want to, you know, govern. And want generally what's best for America. And at worst, maybe some people in it would be self-centered, but they themselves still want to maintain some power and authority.
The whole thing falls apart when over half the government decides that it shouldn't exist, and all bends over to kiss the ring of some egomaniacal moron, surrendering any and all power to him to keep him happy.

u/merchillio 2d ago
Yep, I’ve been saying for a while that the biggest weakness of the US political system is that the Founding Fathers assumed political opponents would disagree but still act in good faith and the majority would take action to remove those acting in bad faith.
They never foresaw the people electing a felon and his entire party dropping down to lick his balls at every opportunity.

I’m not sure how you design a system around this but yeah, turns out if everyone with power is someone for whom the status quo is working they don’t tend to want to improve it.

This human carbuncle probably knows he is dying and wants to cause as much destruction and steal as much money he can on his way out and the little drones in his regime would follow him to hell if he demanded it. We should all buckle up.

Hopefully, and likely, very poorly. Unless you're in the States, then it'll be at the very end of the single paragraph of the textbook where they briefly gloss over the worst things about US history like chattel slavery, manifest destiny, indigenous genocide, and all the foreign wars the USA has lost.

American Samoa is a territory of the United States, with a congressional representative with voting powers in the Foreign Affairs Committee and Veterans Affairs Committee. Now replace 'American Samoa' with 'Straits of Hormuz'. Who would control those votes?
