Just more Trump lies:
March 9 - “The war is very complete, pretty much.”
March 23 - “We have points, major points of agreement, I would say almost all points of agreement.”
May 23 - “Getting a lot closer to a peace deal."
June 8 - “We’re negotiating now, and they want to make a very good deal. They’re willing to give us everything.”
August 2 - "Iran deal is imminent."

Here we are 6 months later, having spent almost 37 billion tax dollars for what? To be worse off than before, paying over $4 a gallon for gas. Food, energy, and housing cost are skyrocketing. MAGA= what a joke!s

You forgot the mentioned low ammunition and even lower morale aboard the Abraham Lincoln.
I'm not sure to what degree MAGA still supports Trump (unless you define the word by their loyalty to him). Most people here were already against his policies(1) for some time, but Trump now does pretty much the exact opposite of what he promised on the field of military and economy.


(1): not to be consufed with his words. Nobody is against a "no more war" policy, but that takes more than just hollow words or tweets

Could be. But that doesn't make it so.

I guess that's what Trump means when he says that the Lincoln hasn't been there "nearly long enough". :(

I didn't hear that, and had to dig for it a little bit. Seems like he didn't declare it US territory, but threatened that he would after Iran has been defeated, which will probably be never.

“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated, pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz strait a territory of the United States,”

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/14/trump-threat-strait-hormuz-us-territory


Really kind of crazy that a president of the US could threaten to take a pivotal economic waterway, and it was barely a blip on the news. I can't tell if the mainstream news outlets are keeping it quiet to protect Trump, or because they know he's full of shit, so they don't bother.

That couldn't have anything to do with Trump cutting funding to the Federal Drug and Food Association, could it?:unsure:

Who'd have thought that going from 20,000 employees at the FDA to 15,000, the ability to keep outbreaks under control would be limited!

Its more than just the employees being let go though. They, Trump and RFK jr, have killed off other policies and programs that are important. Kind of like them now trying to kill off vaccines for children, as if that is not important.
If it is not oil, or his family/ croonies can't get rich off it somehow, then he wants to kill it. He/ they don't care about us normal Americans. Cut funding to bunch important things, then turn around and use that tax money to build his $900 million ballroom.
Alright, sorry getting off subject here.

They did a lot of fuckery across different departments.

FDA decreased food and tabaco inspections and regulations tremendously.

The CDC has reduced vaccination effectiveness, disease surveillance and public-health programs.

NIH has cut cancer research even for children. They've also done some huge restrictions on mRNA vaccines, which will cause issues over the years.

What was the subject here again? Oh yeah, the Iran war LOL!

All this deregulation because they claimed that such regulation costs too much money. You know what costs even more? Having to repair all the damage that deregulation causes. This entire thing is weakening the country..... and that's probably one of their end goals.

If Trump wanted to weaken the US's capabilities, he would do everything he has done so far. The US dollar as the world currency is nearly over. All of the US's allies hate them. The are 40 trillion dollars in debt. Start another war for no purpose. The country is becoming more and more unaffordable.

Even the troops are on the edge of revolt. This was drawn on the dust of the wings of a bomber. They know why they're there, and ain't happy!
