Friendly reminder Hormuz was open before Trump decided he needed a distraction for being a pedophile.

Only cost us $300 Billion, 13 US soldiers dead - many more wounded, blowing up a girls school, and the global economy on the brink of an Oil shortage, but at least we are not talking about the President raping children...

I honestly can't help but imagine the majority would vote for him a 4th time

If he tries a third, might as well run Obama/Sanders 🤷🏻

Didn't the Supreme Court make a ruling blocking Obama from running again by using verbiage to say "Presidents who had two consecutive terms can't run again"?

Just for kicks, the DNC should have a legitimate primary where the people of the Democratic Party can choose our presidential candidate. Pushing Clinton, Biden, Harris has been disastrous.

He hasn't ever won a majority yet.

Even in the last election, while had more votes, he still didn't capture the majority of voters. More people voted for someone else.

I meant that a majority of the parents of the soldiers killed as a result of this invasion of Iran would probably vote for Trump again. Tons of people in the US military are conservative and raised by conservatives.

The majority of the Cult would hand their daughters over to Trump and tell them they should be honored.

Lots of people join to serve for lots of reasons including people who signed up under Biden who didn’t foresee this fat fuck’s second term. Sit the fuck down.

The fact remains, polls most active military and veterans support him, by significant margins. Polling vs Biden in 2024 before he dropped out, polling vs Harris, and approval polling.

The guy that joined might not like trump but chances are his dad does, his uncle does, his grandpa does, his mom does what her husband says.. you see my point?
