Holy dementia, wtf is he even talking about?

HOW IS THIS MAN PRESIDENT?!

Edit: He’s also lying (surprise).

That post was the official ceasefire proposal. In Trumps mind at least.

From the Michael Scott school of legally binding declarations.

Yeah seems like the Iranian state media is saying that it’s a lie too. What a fucking idiot man. What the fuck was the plan here? To just lie a ceasefire into existence?

Its about manifesting peace. It's an advanced form of America's "Vibe Diplomacy".

I wish I could find a source for it, but Giuliani actually said something like guys like him and Trump manifest what they want their reality to be and it just happens.

I’m sure what his life is right now is exactly what he wanted.

If you repeat a lie enough times, eventually you start to believe it. Others might also start believing it. Get enough people fully wrapped up in your lies and now you have a cult. Your cult followers will happily swallow any lie you tell them and defend it, often to the point of torture and death. This is pretty much where we are with MAGA, it's a cult of personality and it's followers will happily slurp up anything which dribbles out of Trump.

I'm curious to see if the cult outlives its original prophet. Once Trump kicks it, does the cult undergo a transition to a full blown religion? Or, does it fizzle out without it's original charismatic leader?
