President Donald Trump, who has been pressing allies to help safeguard the critical waterway, fumed on Tuesday that the U.S. is not getting support “despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot” be allowed to secure a nuclear weapon.

      He believes he is the king of the world and NATO is a human resources investment similar to the many departments of Trump Kingdom LLC.

      Far as he’s concerned, who cares if that’s not their job or intention. He’s paying the bills damn it - he pay the bill, plebs do what he says. It’s really that simple.

    Reads like a text chat between an incel and a woman on the internet.

    Trump: You are stupid. You are ugly and fat. I’m so much better than you ever will be and also fuck all our agreements. Null and void. And you owe me $13.47 for that coffee I paid for.

    Them: stares confused . Then watches their economies be negatively impacted by trump.

    Trump: hey we are buddies right? Come help me bomb civilians.

    Them: no thanks.

    Trump: you are a stupid fat ugly bitch and I don’t need you anyway.

    Trump (next day): how’s it going? . So when are you deploying your troops to help out at the straight?

    Them: blocks trump

    So let’s recap…

    You gave NATO and all your allies the middle finger by cutting their budget, tariffing them, insulting them, attempting to bully them into complying with your will, and threatening to invade some of them…

    You seemingly forgot their contributions to America’s previous pointless wars in the Middle East by saying they “weren’t on the front lines”, when most of them had sent people who lost their lives…

    You end US funding for Ukraine’s defense because you didn’t think it was your problem, and you told Europe that it’s their job to foot the bill…

    You give the UN and NATO the middle finger with this farcical and extortionary “Board of Peace”…

    And now you launch a pointless invasion of Iran and complain that NATO, a defensive organization is “rejecting” you by not participating in it?

    Get fucked, old man!

    That was one labored sentence! I cannot be the only one that parsed it as: “Trump says he’s been rejected by NATO (while) most allies (are) to join mission …”

    Instead, it wants to say: “Trump says he’s been rejected by NATO and most allies (in his desire for them) to join mission …”
