Yeah, no lol. Jimmy Carter despite his faults will always be the peace president. Trump cannot claim to be a peace president when he funds wars and drops bombs like crazy. The thought of a "peace president" continuously posting videos on his Xitter page of his administration blowing up foreign boats and bragging about it is absurd clown world shit.

I'm not complaining about Trump blowing up Venezuelan and Colombian boats, that seems fine with me but that's hardly an act of peace.

Trump was able to get Islamic radicals to peacefully handover their hostages, something that Jimmy Carter famously failed at.

I really do wonder why feds and/or local PDs never clean house of well known hotspots of illegals.

It’s like, everyone knows this particular area of a city as Little [insert third world], constantly deal with crime stemming from this area, but doing absolutely nothing about it. Modern policing is purely reactive and so damn ineffectual, they’d rather do radar while hanging out in a church parking lot than be impactful for their community.

Soros bought your prosecutor for a few million dollars, so it doesn't matter what the local cops do. He ain't pressing charges.

My source for this is psychic premonition. It's also the reason he was so brazen about bombing Iran. He would have committed if they would have

That's part of the trick. Whether or not he'd have gone to war, the opponents have to think he'd do it, or they wouldn't flip

Jimmy Carter didn't fund wars or bomb other countries all the time. Carter is literally the only President of the modern era you can say that about. "Peace in the Middle East" is great and all and good on Trump for the successful deal, but ultimately it doesn't fucking matter. The sand pit being at peace is irrelevant to America, especially when we're still funding the Ukraine Russia shit, another war that doesn't actually affect the US at all and is just a distraction.

I'm not trying to shit on Trump, it is what it is, but it's a cope to call Trump a peace President. It's antithetical to Trump's political strategy, Trump likes to find ways to show and flex his muscles to other nations and likes to have very biased views and support for wars that don't involve the US. I would never call Trump a "warmonger" because he factually isn't mongering wars, but Trump is absolutely a hawk without a doubt, not a dove in the slightest.
 
In Louisiana, the FBI arrested Mahmoud Amin Ya'qub Al-Muhtadi charged him with participating in the Hamas-led October 7th terror attack. Authorities say he was a member of Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and when hearing that the attack was taking place, joined forces with Hamas. Charging documents say he later lied on his visa and came to the United States in 2024. His initial appearance is today at 10 AM in the Pelican State.

I recant any prior statements. There is no way Pritzker could make it through a 2028 primary alive. Gavin Newsom may have been given a Winery at age 24 by a billionaire, but his financial gains are far more subtle than Pritzker.

Both would be majorly contrasted with JD Vance in a general election.

For their Internet service? Never met anyone who did.
For coasters on every nightstand or end table? Most of the neighborhood.

The US doesn't need to go to war with Venezuela. Apply enough pressure and the Venezuelans will churro the Maduro. It will still be a shit hole afterwards, but the US can install the a new leader and who's going to argue against someone who just won a Nobel Peace Prize. Suddenly the half million or more Venezuelans in the US illegally can rejoice and go home.

He never had any cause to when the media would sweep up for him and his ilk. What use does a card cheat have to develop a poker face?

Give them free housing for being Black like native-american reservations. Call it reparations for slavery and Jim crow. In reality it's just section 8 with a few more steps but it's there to make homogeneous communities as opposed to heterogenous communities. By calling it reparations they'll vote for you forever for doing it, while also getting darkies out of cities.

And put it by Martha’s Vineyard.

I am sure if ICE looked they will find tons of illegal or fraudulent immigrants, but the issue is their home goverments. Look at how pissy South Korea got when one of their auto plants got raided. Trump has way too many fragile deals going on in the middle east to risk petty retaliation over big ICE roundups in an Arab Hotspot like Dearborn.

Shit was so annoying too.The US was clearly in the right there, plain and simple, yet it was cast off like they had committed some atrocity.

He sent the military into Iran to rescue hostages and it went so sideways that it’s almost hilarious in hindsight and his other military actions were much the same. I’m sure that communist would have tried more if anything he did showed success, but after Vietnam, he wasn’t getting anywhere

The Iran hostage rescue is infamous. It indirectly spurred the creation of the Osprey tiltrotor, and it took Reagan getting elected for them to get released
