    “Most powerful man in the world”. Nationalistic egocentrism never fails to get a laugh out of me.

      That sleepy pedophile is ostensibly in control of the most powerful military on the planet by an order of magnitude, so it’s not inaccurate, just unfortunate.

        most powerful military on the planet by an order of magnitude

        Apparently, that reckoning only works if you include the nukes, which even Trump couldn’t get anyone to use.

        Considering this is a topic about said military losing a war this point seems rather moot.

        The most powerful military! The one that couldn’t keep a small ocean strait open for a small amount of time. Powerful!

        by an order of magnitude

        I think it’s time to question: Which magnitude?

        We know they spend a lot of billions on the army. Big numbers in comparison to any other country.

        However Trump also just paid $14.2 million to have a pool guy throw buckets of paint into a pond. With no effect.

        If this is the same way that money is spend elsewhere in the government, throughout different presidents sure, but if this is any kind of measurement of how the US makes investments, then I don’t have to question why the military airplanes are falling down by themselves on a daily basis.

        Also look at the January 6th. happening. Whether or not you’re for or against what happened, you have to admit that it’s pathetic that a bunch of hooligans could simply walk straight in from the street and literally shit on the table of the “most powerful” administration. It could as well have been someone with a dirty bomb.
