I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba trump said just now

[senseandsensibility]

He also said he can do whatever he wants with it. The really scary, mind numbing thing is that this is just one of several statements that would have taken down any other President. Because the WH press corps still refuses to band together and do follow ups when he says untrue, dangerous, or antidemocratic things, he feels completely free to let loose.

I am old enough to remember when the press was dismissively called "stenographers" because they just regurgitated the Bush administration's talking points. By comparison with this gang, they were brave stalwarts of journalism.

1. Rapist talk

"I can do whatever I want with it"

Why won't Congress impeach this fucker?

[dalton99a]

4. +1

[PatSeg]

17. And he has said that phrase many times in public

"I can do whatever I want".

[City Lights]

2. He's a menace. On every front. nt

[dalton99a]

3. "I will take Cuba whether they like it or not"

[womanofthehills]

30. Right now- Cuba has NO electricity

(3,000 people are on dialysis and will probably die, 500 babies are born every day)

THIS IS AN ATROCITY:

CNN: Cuba’s electrical grid has suffered a complete and total collapse.

The first nationwide blackout since the US effectively CUT OFF Cuba’s oil supply.

11 million people. No power. No hospitals running on grid electricity. No refrigeration for medicine or food. No pumps for clean water.

This is not a sanction. This is not a diplomatic pressure campaign.
This is a siege.

While Trump launches a war in the Middle East and announces plans to “take Cuba” — his administration has already been quietly strangling the island for months.

Expelled Cuban doctors from the Caribbean.

Cut off the oil.

Now the lights are out for 11 million people.

Lindsey Graham said Cuba is next.

Trump said “I think I can do anything I want with it.”

They didn’t need bombs.

They turned off the lights.

Never stop connecting the dots

5. Once a rapist, always a rapist.

6. They are afraid to tell him if he uses the wrong word

This War on Iran, for instance.... he described as "An Excursion" when the word was supposed to be "An Intervention"

He doesn't understand the difference between the two words, an that usually when one uses the term Excursion, it means:

A usually short journey made for pleasure; an outing. A roundtrip in a passenger vehicle at a special low fare. A group taking a short pleasure trip together.

Fricken Idiot

[senseandsensibility]

7. I try not to think too much about what he says

since it is almost always nonsensical or untrue or both. But you're probably right that he meant "intervention".

[PatSeg]

16. With him, the nonsensical lately

is becoming reality though. In his first term he felt a bit constrained, plus there were real grownups in his administration to stop him from doing anything too reckless and dangerous.

Now no one even tries to stop him and he has congress just going along with him. He intentionally picked a lot of unqualified, dumb people for his administration so that no one would try to tell him "no". He must have had the "loyalty" speech with them before he nominated them.

[Wiz Imp]

12. I believe the word he meant was incursion, not intervention.

definition per Merriam-Webster.com
1
: a hostile entrance into a territory : raid
2
: an entering in or into (something, such as an activity or undertaking)

[orangecrush]

26. I believe you're right

I also believe he says stupid shit quite often for the attention he gets.

[Nictuku]

29. You are right, my memory was wrong. Close! but wrong.

Incursion, not Excursion (or intervention)

[Wiz Imp]

31. In reality, I'm sure it wasn't even Trump's idea to use the word incursion

Somebody told him to call it an incursion, but he probably never heard of that word so he said said excursion instead, because he at least heard the word excursion before.

[Goonch]

8. ;-{) Invasion Plan

[liberalgunwilltravel]

9. Maybe the Batistas will be the ones

to take Trump down?

[D_Master81]

10. He needs a pick me up

Iran didn’t bend over and take it like he thought so he needs a quick win to get his mojo back. It’s a sickness really

[newdeal2]

11. He could support Ukraine any day now

He would become very popular in Europe if that’s what he’s after.

[senseandsensibility]

13. Is he after that though?

Of course that's what he should be doing instead of this, but he almost never does what a sane person would do.

[PatSeg]

14. All this power is going to his head

After Venezuela, he thinks he can just randomly pick countries and take out their leaders and/or bomb the hell out of them.

He used to just tweet crazy crap, but now he actually does a lot of it. He is a very dangerous man and seems determined to leave this planet in ashes when he passes.

[Attilatheblond]

18. If Congress doesn't Impeach, Convict, Remove pretty soon, the US won't have any money, weapons left, nor allies

We are almost out of all three already. How much time does the GOP think we have before we become a real, self made Shithole Country?

And can we punish Mitch McConnell for preventing conviction and removal years ago?

[PatSeg]

24. In my dreams,

I picture that there are relatively sane people in the background working on removing him, but apparently that only happens in movies and books.

[3Hotdogs]

15. - - - and when Cuba follows Iran into the shitter, what's nex ..... I got it.

Massachusetts.

I get letters every day from patriots in Massachusetts, "Sir, can't you help save us from the Peoples' Republic of Massachusetts?

[stage left]

19. Why can't he just drop dead!

[Cha]

20. Switch the subject much from

his Stupid Bomb Attack on Iran?

PEDO is high on his own shit.

TY for the report.

[Evolve Dammit]

21. "I can do whatever I want". It's never changed. His whole despicable life. Fred and Roy Cohn groomed him well. nt

[Joinfortmill]

22. Seriously, he is a demented megalomaniac. It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment.

[hibbing]

23. Corporate media promoted Iraq war

The Big Lie worked then and it still works today. Now watch this drive.

[Blue Owl]

25. Is the fat fuck gonna move on Cuba like a bitch?

[Bread and Circuses]

27. RAPIST 🚓🚓⚖️⚖️

[Totally Tunsie]

28. You don't suppose chump had anything to do with the island-wide blackout today, do you?

Seems a little too coincidental. Maybe trying to give them an advance scare?
