President Trump thinks that a decision Joe Biden made two years ago is the reason for the U.S. munitions shortage—not his costly and unpopular war on Iran.

“They talk about munitions—and we’re fine with munitions, we’re fine. But the reason it would be lower—and we’re building them like crazy—but the reason it’s low is [Joe Biden] gave three hundred billion dollars worth to Ukraine,” Trump said on the Real America’s Voice network Tuesday morning.

    This seems to be a Trump problem, but it’s really not. Trump is the undisputed standard bearer for all Republicans - each and every one of them fully supports his insanity and allows it to continue. They know they’ve put a literal child rapist in charge and have done nothing but protect him and everyone else in the Epstein files.

    Trump’s image should replace the elephant as the mascot of the GOP.

      Conservatives value in-group solidarity more than almost anything else. That’s like their defining characteristic.

      Incidentally, that’s almost always characteristic of a bad person. The antithesis of “love your neighbor”, for example.

          Your comment reminded me of a book a read a long time ago about the psychology of politics. There was a whole chapter about how Republicans find I easier to all agree with each other.

        It’s literally the definition of facism. It’s what a fasces is, a group of sticks.

          Truly elephants are the perfect elephant shape and it’s not their fault those slimeballs stole their image. The GOP should just use one of the pictures Epstein took of Trump on hands and knees sucking Putin’s dick while Bubba rails him from behind.
