Donald Trump was unhappy with his sparsely attended military parade over the weekend and blamed it on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, biographer Michael Wolff revealed.
Wolff told The Daily Beast Podcast that Trump wanted a “menacing” show of force to celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday on Saturday—but got a “festive” parade instead.
“He’s p—ed off at the soldiers,” Wolff said. “He’s accusing them of hamming it up, and by that, he seems to mean that they were having a good time, that they were waving, that they were enjoying themselves and showing a convivial face rather than a military face.”
So, now we know what was really bothering the Orange POS during the G7 meeting. LOL! The mofo dozed off during the waste of time and money.
Hegseth, you royally fucked it up. Leaking classified military in a Signal group chat? Excusable. A White Supremacist? Excusable. Drunken paranoia? Excusable. HOW DARE YOU FUCK UP THE PARADE!? Pack your shit up and go back to Fox News.
He’s trying to be a dictator damn it! Why won’t anyone take him seriously? Waaaaah
So their only job is to walk in a straight line, and they pick Alchohegseth to train them? Never could have seen this coming.
Goose stepping is actually incredibly difficult and has no military value
Hmmm, maybe negative military value. After all not too many forces are winners with kicks above a set level.
This is what you get when your hiring criteria is who is the best ass kisser.
DEI. Dumb (and) extra idiotic.
HAHAHAHAHA what a fucking toddler. Did they not have enough plain cheese pizza with ketchup for your bday party, you pathetic attention-hungry piece of shit
He didn’t want PIZZA! He wanted FRENCH FRIES from MCDONALDS!!! He wanted RONALD to personally cut his burger up for him because it’s EMBARRASSING when his MOM does it! He wanted to use the SLIDE but he POOPED on it before he made it to the bottom and that’s SOMEONE ELSE’S fault!!!
“we aren’t kings”
Cries when parade isn’t dictator-y enough.
I think he somehow associates their behavior with a lack of discipline. He expected coordinated … 🪿 stepping and unwavering devotion to their CiC who has zero respect for them or something? I can’t wrap my head around whatever circles of logic he tries to use
I’m going to say I 100% agree with you. The lunatic wants North Korean style marches and is angry that’s not happening.
But I also want to say, what clips I’ve seen holy crap their marching was abysmal, like I’ve seen Civil Air Patrol flights with better marching. I’m not military so I can only talk so much, when listening to vets, their comments are along the lines of the people in the parade basically doing a shitty job because “Mandatory Fun Day” as apparently it’s called.
Frankly I think that’s funny myself.
Their marching was poor because there is almost no practical reason why anyone in today’s Army should ever need to march. The vast majority of service people do very little marching after basic training.
And this is why he will get the us involved in Iran. He needs something to boost his ego after this amazing by failure.
Half of it is still about oil. Saudi Arabia has mass amounts of oil and fewer people. Iran has more people and a decent (but less) amount of oil. For years Iran has been trying to sell off their oil at cheaper prices in mass to force money into their economy. Some may argue it’s to raise the quality of living for the people, others may argue it’s because they believe the oil will do them no good 100 years from now so selling it all off and raking in what money they can now will only help them. Saudi Arabia has money, just doesn’t distribute it evenly, and their profit margins would be hurt by prices being driven down. Other countries like the U.S. also would struggle to complete in selling oil at lower prices as our lifting costs are higher. So oil companies selling out of the US and around the world benefit greatly from Iran not selling off their oil at lower costs. (It’s less than 1/2 to 1/3 the cost for Iran the lift the oil). So the U.S. stays friends with Saudi Arabia and tries to stop other countries from lowering their prices.
What is this a graph of? What do the different colours mean? What is the UK top in the world of? My maths teacher drilled into us that a bar chart has to have a title and a key and units. This graph has none of them!
The lifting costs by country (US dollar/barrel). The UK has the highest lifting costs, therefore must sell oil at the lowest profit margins if they sell at a global price match. The lower the lifting costs, the higher margin for profit.
Thanks.
Nah made sense to ask, I cropped it like shit so it didn’t have other phone screen on it, should have done better.
Basic premise though was crude oil sells at $75 per barrell, the US averaged 4.5 million Barrells a day in 2024 (exports). If the cost per barrel dropped to $65 a barrell that’s a $16.5 billion dollars lost per year. That’s 66x the amount of money Elon spent to assist Trump in winning the election.
So it makes sense to pay millions or a few hundred million from oil executives to ensure oil prices stay where they are.
The Republican tradition of killing brown kids to keep rich old men wealthy
Dictators always blame others for their failings.
But hegseth is a failure too.
He isn’t top shelf, but his liquor is…
Take it easy in the admins token DUI hire
I don’t think he has many tokens — at least not from AA.
I wonder what Kim Jong Un’s reaction was when he saw the photos of Trumps dinky little parade
Haha Dinky.
God early Cartman…
This Presidential outburst is brought to you by:
Coinbase
Trump Mobile would have been a better sponsor
They won’t be able to afford advertising if they have as many customers as turned up for this ridiculous birthday parade. Unless Putin and people like that become customers again.
If not, the US president will be their only advertising medium - that guy won’t stoop too low.
Don’t forget Instant Pot.
His floppy parade was a disappointment? How scandelous.
