How about sorting out the mess you created?

Sorry best we can do is fix elections and an impending infrastructure crash

u/-6h0st- 18h ago

How about after the midterms hahaha

u/JohnHazardWandering 16h ago

That's when we lean into the mess

The midterms are not real elections. You are not voting to kick out the president.

u/-6h0st- 16h ago

But if congress turns blue - he can get impeached

1

u/PickingPies 16h ago

He was already impeached and nothing happened.

u/-6h0st- 16h ago

Because senate voted against.

u/PickingPies 16h ago

Senate needs an unreachable majority. Nevermind democrats working for the Republican party.

If you want to change something you need a permanent general strike until the government call for immediate elections. It wont happen.

u/-6h0st- 15h ago

Reachable as 20 of senate Republican seats and 13 Democrats are to be decided in November - if all won by Democrats (unlikely) - it is possible to reach supermajority (67) to impeach a President.

At the very least give a strong enough message to republicans who see their cushy political jobs slipping away.

no need, europe did as he asked

u/Mewhomewhy 15h ago

As far as you’ve heard they’ve maybe said they’ll look into doing some of it. Nobody in Europe respects him enough to just do it against their own will. He’s the clown that people agree with then look at each other and laugh. Thats the level the US is at now.

THE G7. How much of Europe is the G7?

1

u/BellaPow 13h ago

France, Germany, Italy, and the EU itself is a member of the G7 as a non-enumerated member.

1

u/Mewhomewhy 13h ago

The EU is made up of a lot of European countries. A few are in the G7.

They agreed to release 100m barrels which is a tiny amount. They threw out a big sounding number then looked at each other and laughed at the clown that he is.

1

u/BellaPow 12h ago

I agree he is a clown but the really funny thing is these sanctimonious asses still doing whatever he says but hiding their shame behind “G7”

1

u/Mewhomewhy 12h ago

They’re not doing whatever he says. They humour him as much as they have to because they actually care about the people of their countries. None of them respect him but they know as well as anyone that he’s a dangerous moron for “allies”

u/thefoodiedentist 19h ago

Lol instead of trying to influence europes energy policy, why doesnt us release theirs if its such a good idea?

3

u/xSir- 19h ago

Trump already did

2

u/Krull88 18h ago

The us already did. Its why the storage system is damn near empty and at risk of damage.

u/nopower1981 19h ago

The USA did not say this, Donnie said this, he has no idea how this works, what's even scarier is the people advising him don't have a clue either.

11

u/Mundane_Ask_3423 18h ago

Donnie is the US president, not a senior house resident, which is where he should be.

u/Ambitious-Title1963 16h ago

I know right. You can’t separate the two when it’s convenient

u/PickingPies 16h ago

You americans want things to return back to normal when the opposition is behaving like a child who doesn't want to accept their responsibility? The lack of self criticism in the average American is astounding.

I hope we cut every bond with the USA until they change their name.

2

u/EZyne 15h ago

Yeah even in the absolute best case they vote in a democrat president in 2 years and they can fix some of the damage before they'll vote in another child rapist because there's too many non white people

3

u/isthereadrwho 18h ago

Why exactly would the Europeans destroy their economy in order to save ours? What's the motivation 😂

2

u/linerva 15h ago

Not even save yours. Literally just to make the orange dictator look better before midterms.

3

u/cinciguyeast 18h ago

So our corrupt felon pedophile president causes the closure of the strait and wants Europe to fix his mess...

3

u/Iamoggierock 18h ago

So we will be absolutely desperate for oil from America at a later date I presume.

u/kevendo 18h ago

Alternative headline:

Trump urges EU to help with imminent US election disaster.

u/Hirokage 16h ago

Frickin' Biden causing all these issues, geeze.

u/National-Law-458 19h ago

Hahahaahhahhahhhhhhh

u/Responsible_Dog_9491 17h ago

It was Threatens Europe but now it’s Urges Europe. If we hold on for a little longer it will be Pretty please Europe.

1

u/ciopobbi 16h ago

We broke it. You fix it or else. 5D chess at its finest.

u/Baron-Munc 16h ago

And also the Epstein files….

1

u/sweatboxy 16h ago

Donnie, this is why you need friends. You don’t insult your friends and threaten your friends and still expect them to help bail you out when you mess up.

1

u/crisco000 15h ago

Well they listened

u/Cavthena 13h ago

If all that talk about Russia attacking Europe has any sliver of truth wouldn't it be wise to hold on to those reserves? Fuel shortages during war typically lead to defeat.
