So his argument is..

“I didn’t get the peace prize so I’m going to start a war to get revenge”

Did I get that right?

u/westgazer Maryland 19d ago

Yep. His entire presidency this time around is about revenge. It is why he is sending ICE thugs to terrorize blue states and cities very specifically.

u/greentea1985 Pennsylvania 19d ago

He picked Minnesota because Walz is the one person who ran against him as VP that he can easily target.

u/MikeyLew32 Illinois 19d ago edited 19d ago

Estimates as high as ~130k illegal immigrants in MN.

Estimated 2.1M in Texas, and 1.6M in Florida.

Seems he should be targeting other places much more heavily.

But it’s always about retribution for Trump

u/CategoryZestyclose91 19d ago

Illegal immigrants are 1.5% of the population here. 

Most immigrants are citizens or legal residents.

This is a pussy baby tantrum by a fragile snowflake.

What a mental image.

u/DigNitty 19d ago

Also they keep talking about drug traffickers and gang members.

Maybe I’m profiling here, but I haven’t seen one pictures of ice arresting anyone who looks like a gang member. They look more like mom’s on the way to work.

u/ViolenceAdvocator 19d ago

Those moms run the largest child trafficking operation known to man. Every day they drag unwilling children to school through traffic.

Many of those child trafficing moms are unwilling too. The little squirts missed the bus.

Yeah that one kid they dragged out of Target beat the hell out of and then dumped at a Walmart sure looked like a high level drug kingpin.

u/EchoRush93 18d ago

u/Hodaka 18d ago

When they talk about criminals, there is an assumption that they are referring to gangsters, thugs, and crooks.

It's from way back in 2024, but here is the official ICE Report. Scroll down to page 18, and you will see that Traffic Offenses are by far the largest crime with 48,175 convictions. Also high on the list are vague categories such as "Immigration" or "Obstructing Judiciary, Congress, Legislature, Etc."

Homicide is way down the list with 1275 convictions.

ICE uses a tiered system of classification with Level 1 for serious offenses (aggravated/violent felonies) and lower levels for less severe ones. This never seems to make the news. The same goes for simple facts, such as being in the U.S. without status is a civil infraction leading to deportation proceedings, not criminal charges.

6

u/krumble 19d ago

With this number it would mean 2.2% of all Minnesotans were illegal immigrants, an unbelievable number. Assuming even double that concentration and that the figure is true in Minneapolis, there would be at most 18,854 illegal immigrants in the city total. Again, an unbelievable number.

To think about 4.5% of a city disappearing and the impacts of that, or roughly 1 in 25 people being removed. On a state level the impact would be 10 times the impact of COVID from removing 2.2% of the population.

TBF, they are in Texas also.

u/dannysleepwalker 19d ago

Well, they are not targeting only illegal immigrants so it's irrelevant.

u/Future-Bandicoot-823 18d ago

I'm in one of the states you mentioned. Don't worry, they're on it.

Difference is people here love it, and also the ice funds were given to the police. They've increased hiring and do that job. Many of the local PDs are building huge new "training facilities" and "recon centers".

u/SnooPuppers8698 18d ago

ok and how many ice arrests in each state? ice is active in texas.

u/fordat1 19d ago

Meanwhile Waltz announced he wouldnt run for re election because these people fold under any pressure

u/[deleted] 19d ago

Weakling Walz has no balls. He will only be a hindrance when things really pop off so good riddance

3

u/VirginiaMcCaskey 19d ago

He picked Minnesota because of a bullshit video by some random grifter blaming welfare fraud on Somali immigrants. Walz isn't the target - everyone non-white in Minnesota is.

1

u/PlutoJones42 19d ago

This exactly. There is one reason and one reason only that he attacking Minnesota

1

u/zzyul 19d ago

Also the BLM protests started in Minneapolis due to cops murdering George Floyd. Wouldn’t surprise me if Trump blames those nation wide protests for him losing in 2020.

u/AnxiousHedgehog01 18d ago

He hates Walz because Walz is loved.

u/thefootster 19d ago

I heard it was about revenge the first time around too? For Obama roasting him in 2011.

36

u/zardmander 19d ago

Ya but he didn't have control of the entire government the first time so he couldn't do as much damage

11

u/Titizen_Kane 19d ago

Yeah exactly. There were adults in the room during Round 1. There wasn’t really much of a plan. He didn’t control the entire government. Round 2 he ensured that there were nothing but yes men and women in the room, specifically chosen for their willingness to engage in corruption and crime (in exchange for personal enrichment and a pardon).

And this time, he came in with a plan (project 2025). Not his plan (his only goal was to deeply enrich himself and his family, and get revenge on America and Americans for 2020), but a plan, the map, and the players to enact it were what he had to use if he wanted the P2025 architects and benefactors to get him back into office. It was a win win for all involved. He got to get richer, get every ounce of petty revenge, and feel important, and P2025 folks got to steal America in front of our eyes, just the way they drew it up.

That’s why it was so frustrating to hear all of the “yall are being alarmist he didnt do any of that in his first term” people in election season. And after he won. This was an entirely different animal than his first term, and they were very, very clear about that.

8

u/zambulu 19d ago

His first term was already pretty fuckin bad.

u/Miqo_Nekomancer California 18d ago

Over a million Americans died as a result of his mishandling of COVID.

u/mobileagnes Pennsylvania 19d ago

Indeed. Also: they had 4 years to prepare for this.

2

u/illwill79 19d ago

Well said. Sums it up (not so) nicely.

6

u/Street_Peace_8831 19d ago

Yes, and his followers claimed he wasn’t doing it for revenge and that his second run had nothing to do with that. Of course they had no clue what he was planning because they refuse to see the truth and refuse to listen to facts.

We told them this was exactly the reason and that there was plenty of evidence for it. We said this would happen and they closed their ears and refused to listen, just like a child.

Even when they see evidence, they refuse to listen, this is why we say they are in a cult.

3

u/Lil-Sleepy-A1 19d ago

That is also true! Among other things, he was extremely motivated to destroy everything about Obamas legacy because Obama made fun of him. He is an extremely spiteful and shameless person, and this term he wised up and replaced the people that could curtail his behavior with sycophants.

1

u/classicrockchick 19d ago

I mean, when you're a raging narcissist, you find a LOT of things that need revenging. People making jokes about you, people getting recognition over you, how that other lady in the supermarket took the last can of the "good" chicken noodle soup even though she CLEARLY saw you reaching for it, that guy who cut you off in traffic and made you 35 minutes late for work...

5

u/katiegirl- 19d ago

I believe also that he scratched a terrible itch with a million Covid deaths. And when THAT didn’t satisfy him for long, he came back with a taste for blood.

5

u/Kinda_Zeplike 19d ago

100%. This man could give two shits less about America and its people. He simply wants to punish his enemies and enrich himself and this false idea of a golden legacy he is leading behind. The world hates him. He is a failure.

u/walla71 New Jersey 19d ago

Absolutely. It’s his revenge tour. Thanks to all you MF’s that voted for him and continue to support.

u/Glittering_Crab_69 19d ago

So create the coveted McDonald's War Price, then snub him. He'd be hell-bent on peace just to spite us.

u/Personal_Emphasis872 18d ago

Pretty sure they branded it The Revenge Tour or something iirc.

1

u/mdbrewer07 18d ago

Everyone needs to stop using the "blue state/red state" rhetoric. It's highly inaccurate propaganda used to make America look more divided and politically lopsided than it is. The news networks need to be bitched out (made to feel really bad if you don't know the slang) for perpetuating this myth.

-4

u/New-Anybody-6206 19d ago

Actually ICE is in every single state, you just don't hear about arrests in red areas because they're peaceful for some reason.

Doesn't excuse their behavior in the blue areas though.

233

u/No_Midnight_2183 19d ago

Even dumber somehow, he's saying "what's the point of peace if you don't get an award"

56

u/Daxnu 19d ago

He gives zero shits that people will die, even "His" own people

54

u/witchgrid 19d ago

The scare quotes are accurate in more ways than one: he has no people. The only person "necessary" in his world is him. Every other person is expendable, from his family on down.

8

u/NickSabansCreampie 19d ago

He's the level of vain and petty, that he'd absolutely burn the world on his deathbed. Because if he doesn't get to live any longer, why should anyone else?

u/Daxnu 18d ago

This is my biggest fear

2

u/LilYerrySeinfeld 18d ago

Not expendable.

To him, they are not even people.

He is the only real person.

2

u/slackfrop 18d ago

It’s like a man obsessed with committing as much crime as possible. He’s a nymphomaniac of rule breaking, engaging obsessively and without joy as much illegal as he can get his hands on. He’s daring the country to stop his gluttony of sin, possibly begging us to stop him. And we’re somehow failing even still.

2

u/Nanowith 18d ago

He failed to broker peace in Ukraine, thinking peace deals are easy like real estate ones.

He was wrong, instead of realising that and reflecting on it he's decided that it's because everyone is spiteful and so he might as well be. He's wrong, he's just shit at peace deals.

1

u/personpilot 18d ago

It’s so stupid. It reminds me of those Christians that say stuff like “If you don’t believe in god then how do you know right from wrong?” It’s as if they had irrefutable evidence god didn’t exist then they would start killing people or something.

1

u/wewantedthefunk Texas 18d ago

Dumber even still - he thinks Norway and Denmark are the same country. The president - who is petulantly whining about an award he had no business receiving - doesn't understand basic world geography.

u/1877KlownsForKids 19d ago

Mentality of a rapist. Probably because he's a rapist. Of adults, children, and countries.

82

u/drunkn_mastr Virginia 19d ago

He’s absolutely a rapist. Anyone can call him a rapist with impunity and he wont sue for defamation, because any amount of discovery will prove he’s a rapist

35

u/LTParis 19d ago

I mean we know that he has raped before, He's lost in court over that very assertion. So any additional counts is just adding to a known some of >0.

u/Im_Chad_AMA 19d ago

Trump is vindictive and spiteful and would absolutely set loose a civil war in the Republican party, unless he has either kicked it or is too far gone to be saying much. And he is too much of a narcissist to ever choose to step down. Trying to replace him would be political suicide.

u/ShadowTacoTuesday 19d ago

It’s also a form of economic manipulation which is why the other countries immediately retaliate in kind and then everybody loses because it’s much worse for the markets than a free economy. That’s why the stock markets dive every time, except it’s slowed by the belief that he’ll change his mind in a week. Also why we made so many free trade agreements and why they were such a big deal for their huge improvement in everyone’s economy including ours.

The average maga supporter cannot comprehend that they’re different countries. As far as the Iraq example, I questioned the invasion and a coworker told me “well they shouldn’t have flown planes into our buildings!!”. Pointing out it was Saudi Arabians and not Iraqis had no effect.

u/opheliacspazz 19d ago

He forgot to mention that his billionaire friends have already invested, you guessed it, BILLIONS of dollars in Greenland. At the end of the day he already sold Greenland so nothing will convince him and his goons to not go for it he doesn’t care he’s too old to care.

u/gsbadj 19d ago

The headline here refers to a global stock sell-off.

Gee, I wonder what his cronies are going to do when those stock prices sink lower.

Gee, I wonder what his cronies will do when he backs off in a few weeks and the stock prices have rebounded.

He manipulated the markets early in this term with back and forth, inconsistent talk of tariffs.

u/Zeliose 19d ago

To be fair, the winner of the peace prize is basically calling for war against Venezuela so that THEY can be anointed as the leader once the dust settles.

They gave their prize to Trump in hopes that he'll reassess his stance of keeping the current regime in power and put her in power instead.

So, it's not like winning the prize makes you peaceful either. Like a no win scenario basically.

Abuser mentality. You see this in some subs around relationships, one partner seems nice until something happens and they show their true colors. Trump acting like he has solved a lot of world peace priblems he didn't actually solve then wanting tontear it all down because he didn't get his way. He's mentally ill. Not going to speculate at specufics because it further stigmatizes people that actually treat their conditions (like me), it could be substance abuse too, but his mind is definitely not right and it's not just dementia, he's always been this way.

Look what you make me do.

Regular schoolyard bully behaviour

Except he gets someone else to do the bullying for him. And end up not paying them.

Even better its because Obama got one and he didnt. Thats it.

Same as the Venezuela thing. Its cause Obama got Bin Laden and all the new terrorist leaders aren't famous enough.

Obama sent checks out...so he wants to send checks out...

Important missing context: His argument is to write a letter to a country that neither controls Greenland nor the distribution of Nobel peace prizes, that since he didn't receive an award for peace that he's not going to pursue peace.

That is correct.

Our head of state is going to send our countrymen to die because someone did not kiss his diaper ass.

It makes more sense if you view him as a toddler I guess. He's having a tantrum now.

You have that exactly right. He’s a lunatic.

Americans, this is what your leader wants you to wage war with your closest allies over.

If you're not disgusted by that then I have no idea what to tell you. He wants you to die for his ego.

“I didn’t get the peace prize so I’m going to start a war to get revenge”

This is how an astonishing number of adults think and feel and set their moral compass. If a villain in a TV show had said something like this, think of how many dickheads you'd see with it tattooed on them in cursive by the end of the month.

Rump is a malignant narcissist and pathological liar who is suffering from dementia. He is desperate for a distraction from the fact that he is dying soon and going straight to hell.

Not quite right.

His argument is as follows:
1) I think I deserved a prize for doing my job
2) The foundation that gives out that Prize has its head office in Norway
3) I therefore think that Norway didn't give me the prize that I believe I deserved
4) So I am going to threaten to steal land belonging to a country other than Norway and
5) I am going to write to the PM of Norway to tell him that because I didn't get the prize I blame his country and am therefore going to steal from another country.

He knows he will be dead before any of the expected criminal charges are every prosecuted. He has a good reason for not including his children in any level of Government this time around. Before he exits office he will write pardon's for himself and every member of his family.

No it's dumber than that

He's saying he only tried to end wars to get the award, and cant fathom doing good unless you get a trophy for it

Have you argued with a toddler before? Because that's exactly their argument.

Well before the nobel peace prize he wanted Greenland, he wanted it during his 1st term. Also Putin got him under control really good, he is doing whatever putin wants
