Trump will end US hegemony

he already has.

Trump has never even seen any scifi. It's just existing branches adapted for space usually the Navy.

It's a "Spacey" you fucking non anime watching scum

I'm so fucking happy that for ONCE the world is acknowledging US crimes against humanity, even if the reasons they are acknowledging the crimes are cynical and corporate influenced.

Wtf im maga now

Trump is driving this empire straight into a brick wall. Nice.

The UN Human Rights Council is a joke (Saudi Arabia is a member for fuck's sake), but the optics of Trump pulling out of it is fucking hilarious

Still waiting on him to shred NAFTA. That will be the real nail in the coffin.

That's why I'm not blaming Schumer for his decision. Legislation is a waste of time if Trump is just going to veto it and the GOP are too spineless to overturn it.

Trump is also set to meet House Republicans for an immigration compromise today. You know that's going to go well.

Trump's approval rating is at 45% right now, which was his approval rating when he started the Presidency. It'll only go down from here.

...

He's basically justifying concentration camps.

He also finished that speech with yet another flag hug.

He's fucking nuts.

I really hate it say it but I absolutely love the spectacle of the Trump admin

Why pull out of the human rights thing? Just to end the facade that there are human rights in America?

Also, does that thing about civilian gun ownership include police like it should or is it that stupid, shitty meme that pigs aren't civilians too? God, I hate that so much.

Because Trump is a good goy.

THE UNITED STATES OF SPACE. COZ I AIN'T STOPPING AT THE MOON…

Just take that in a moment. He's using the family separation and the outrage it generates to force congress to capitulate to the construction of his "big beautiful wall". It's why he keeps saying it's a "legal issue". He wants congress it pass an immigration bill with his wall in it, or else he'll veto it and keep the kids in cages.

Trump is going to build a wall from children's tears. That's not hyperbole. That's fact.

Russia already has space forces as a branch of their Aerospace Forces and has had since the mid-80s. It's basically a system of ICBM detection and defense measures.

At this point what's the damage on building the stupid wall? it's a gigantic waste of money and time and that can only hurt the US.

Politics. If the Dems cave, Trump can portray it as "The Dems finally owning up to their evil law", galvanizing Trump's base ahead of midterms. In addition, Trump would know that all he has to do is throw around threats to get congress to do what he wants.

Worse, it would give Trumpets a symbol of their victory.

You’re saying this in an extremely moralistic way. Seriously Trump is proving morality, ethics, and human rights are all spooks. Things couldn’t be better.
