Trump keeps posting that America was once the laughingstock of the world, but now that he is president, it's never been more respected. As an Aussie, I can 100% confirm that Donald Trump is a laughingstock here.

The reason why so many of the Trump supporters and MAGA media commentators are saying Trump has changed is because they don't want to admit that Trump was always like this and they had joined a cult. I would have more respect if they owned it.
Lutnick: "The president sleeps less than me. The president sleeps 4 hours a night, working all the time. Most impressive thing you've ever seen." Imagine thinking shitposting online and watching cable news 24/7, falling asleep during cabinet meetings, are the most impressive things you have seen.
Marco Rubio: "Let me explain this in simple English: Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.” That statement would have so much more gravitas if Rubio's own country wasn't also run by religious fanatic lunatics.
BREAKING NEWS: Trump on the phone to the FIFA president: "What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 4 goals, which is 4 more than we have, because we won the match."
Being anti-Trump is the most patriotic thing you can do. Happy birthday, America, from Australia. ❤️
I will never understand the conservative outrage over Obama and his tan suit. He looked great.
The worst thing about Trump calling a female reporter "piggy" and insulting everyone he dislikes is that it will make no difference to Trump's popularity among the Republican voters. His popularity is nosediving because of the cost of living. In a healthier country it would be both.
Many declines of a superpower nation have images or paintings that encapsulate the downfall. The National Guard protecting a green-colored pool over imaginary "vandals" will be one of those for the US.
Trump lying that Italian leader Giorgia Meloni begged him for a photo with her at the G7 & being called out by her shows that every time Trump said Iran was begging him for a deal, it was a lie. If you are going to lie about a photo, you will definitely lie about a peace deal or anything else.
Stephen Miller: "I can't call Talarico a man. Who knows what gender he is? He's a weird, strange, bizarre, totally unelectable human that is never, ever, ever going to be the senator from the great state of Texas." When it comes to Miller, every accusation is a confession.

Pete Buttigieg is one of the best debaters in the Democratic Party, and he isn't afraid to debate people who disagree with him and go on platforms that are MAGA media. He is fearless. Dems need more of this.
Trump keeps repeating that in America if you say a woman is beautiful, that's the end of your political career. That's interesting because Trump said, "grab them by the pu…" and afterwards he was elected president of the United States. Trump was found liable for sexual assault, & then elected again.
Musk is everything MAGA accused George Soros of being.

Love how there are so many musicians pulling out of the 250th birthday party of the US, but the surviving member of Milli Vanilli has announced he is still going. Same "singer" who was exposed in the 80s for not actually being the singer of their songs and just lip-syncing someone else's voice.
George Santos posted he is now leaving NY because it's not safe anymore after Mamdani became mayor of NY. Convicted criminal is threatening to leave NY because he is worried about crime going up. No one has encapsulated the comical absurdity and hypocrisy of the MAGA movement like Santos.

Globally, Donald Trump is the most hated and the biggest laughingstock of an American president in modern history.
If Don Junior wanted his daddy to attend his wedding, he should have held it on a golf course. Not even a war would stop him from attending that (he played golf when the war in Iran started).

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. Sounds a little strange, but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding.” Zelenskyy deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for not punching Trump in the nose for saying the country that invaded Ukraine was being "very generous."
Elon Musk today: "Freedom of speech is the bedrock of democracy." He just spent the last few months campaigning on behalf of Viktor Orbán, the most anti-free-speech leader in the EU.
If the Trump administration and MAGA want people to stop saying they are acting like authoritarians, they should try not going after people on made-up criminal charges just for criticizing Trump.

In the Trump administration, you don't get fired for being corrupt; you get fired for not being corrupt enough and not being popular while doing it.
