      Right? Who gives a fuxk. Dude just tried to escalate into thermonuclear war to protect Zionists and we’re talking about how he didn’t follow some unsaid procedural rule about how he has to be manly and announce his war crimes solo

    He even changed the presidential address microphones. They’ve been using dual SM-57s for decades, but I suppose they’re not good enough for him.

    The US has to make announcements about military action so often there are already traditions on how to do it. And if a president doesn’t keep to them he is a weirdo.

    It’s about accountability. The buck stops with him, so he speaks alone and takes sole responsibility for the decision, and it’s consequences. Trump doesn’t understand that. His lackeys are there so he can blame them if it hits the fan, Iran retaliates on a US urban population, and hes left with only taco options.

        Hey! You’re not supposed to remember and analyze the actual actions of those in power! Keep your nitpicking to tone and presentation, please.

    I thought that was weird too. I couldn’t remember another time I had seen anyone’s behind the President there. So weird and pointless.

      When Obama announced the passage of ObamaCare, Biden was by his side. I remember it well because just before Obama spoke, you could hear Biden on a hot mic whisper “This is a big fucking deal, Mr President.”

      I laughed my ass off.

        Fair. I dont remember the details, but I do remember that quote. I mostly remember Obama standing there alone announcing Bin Laden’s death. It was quite memorable for obvious reasons but also I was in a bar at my buddy’s 21st birthday hangout, and things for rowdy.

          The night Obama announced Bin Laden’s death was also the night he humiliated HitlerPig at the big Press Banquet. Some believe that was the moment that he decided to run for president. So while Obama was roasting HitlerPig in front of the world, he knew that he’d be ordering Bin Laden’s killing later that evening. Interesting context.

    Conspiracy theory: this is Heritage Foundation steering in order to safeguard their totalitarian dictatorship in the event of Trump’s death. They’re making sure that his successors get their faces shown as much as possible up front to ease the transition.

    Trump is always surrounded by people in his White House interviews. My whole life any time the president was talking with a camera on them in the White House it was just him on screen the vast majority of the time.

    Now there are also at least 5 people standing there while he sits. Sometimes I think it’s a test. Will they stand for an hour? Will their face crack when he says something dumb?

      I’ve noticed this also. What do you think the psychology is here? Is it meant to make him seem stronger, or of tougher solidarity?

        I think he is a needy person that taxes everyone around him with his constant need for adulation. So it takes a team of people to keep him happy enough to not pick up Twitter/Truth and start opening his brain on it. Because it is clear to me that he has no adult supervision when he posts.

      I’m legitimately sorry for singling you out on this, but fuck you and everyone else who insists on height-shaming people.

        Lol. Because calling him weak and insecure is legitimately better, morally speaking. I single HIM out for shaming, because this short, tiny handed fool, in particular, deserves all the scorn, ridicule and disdain directed his way.

          I think you’re missing the point, my dude.

          There are plenty of legitimate things within Trump’s control that you can criticize him for.

          Criticizing him for his height strongly implies you’re criticizing any short person or saying that short people can’t be in positions of power. I think what you mean to get at is his insecurity about his height and his childish need to make himself feel taller. That would absolutely be fair game, as those are his choices. He and others never got to choose how tall they are, just how they react to it.

          But yes, fuck Trump’s childish insecurities. Fucking manchild

            I know exactly what op was saying. And I’m saying, again, I single him out because of the despicable human being he is. Little Marco is his pet name for Rubio.

    Alternate take: It’s an indicator that we’re stepping into a very serious war.

    And of course we have nothing to gain for it.

    I wonder if they’re there to keep him in line?

    Rubio in the background is kind of a surprise to me. The other two are more desperate to be noticed every day, in any way they can be
