    Stop him? American society created him.

    Not really sure how to fix this.

        Rupert Murdoch gave up his Australian citizenship.

        Since 1985, he’s 100% US. He’s all yours.

          Fucken oath! American capitalism allowed him to build the massive media empire that he has now. Couldn’t have done it from here.

          He’s also not some kind of mind-controlling supervillain. He was saying things that the people were happy to latch onto and wanted to believe.

        A cause, not creation. Trump is our collective shadow, as it were. That thought where you want to say “Fuck the Rules” and do whatever you think is best, damn the consequences, is where Trump comes from.

        • The war with Iran? Iran has been pestering the US for some time. So why not just kill those guys and be done with it?
        • Europe keeps talking back and disrespecting your authority. So why not teach them a lesson by increasing prices on their stuff?
        • Maduro thinks he can fuck with the US as much as he wants. Let’s see if he still feels that way in an American prison!
        • The people whining in Minnesota must have been put up to this by the Radical Left or something. A good hit to the head will calm them down!

            Ousting the Shah, preventing the US from furthering their interests; selling Shahed drones to Russia for use in Ukraine; being in China’s sphere of influence.

              I wouldn’t consider that pestering the US, more like looking after their own interests wich, sure, might not align with US ideology. OTOH

          True. Does send out a warning though, but the effects would be short lived (and his next in line would have to follow suit).
