Trump, Under Oath, Says He Averted ‘Nuclear Holocaust’

”I think you would have nuclear holocaust, if I didn’t deal with North Korea,” he explained, and then added: “And I think you might have a nuclear war now, if you want to know the truth.”
It is still worth remembering that Obama tried to work with North Korea, but the Republicans shamed him because they said he should only meet with them if they agreed to get rid of their nukes.
Trump did nothing to protect the world from North Korea, but gave Kim Jong-Un a nice photo op to help legitimize his power.
- And saluted north Korean generals
  
  Well have we tried becoming North Korea? That would definitely avoid North Korea from launching jukes at us. /s
- Do you know how to tell when politicians are being hypocritical? When they open thier mouth. You could do literally nothing but point out hypocrisys of poloticians all day for your entire adult life and never run out. It is the equivalent of saying "bruh".
  
  The both-sides-narrative only helps the far-right.
  
  bruh
  
  Time for your meds
  
  Don't see why this is down voted so much. People spend way too much time focusing on hypocrisy. It's freaking boring and it sways absolutely no one's opinion

Thank god he negotiated a peace deal with the hurricane at the last minute.
- Why do you think Idalia ravaged Florida? It's because Trump wasn't president with his magic sharpie... Obviously.

I averted bank robbery….by not robbing the bank.
- you have my vote!
  
  Buy your tshirt with the mug shot of LEDZepplin@lemmy.world right now!
- And America thanks you

Hes not wrong. We almost did have nuclear war.
Because of his stupidity and assholery toward North Korea.
- He succesful prevented nuclear holocaust by being voted out before he could make everything even worse
- There are some things you read online that i just can't get out of my brain. One of those things was a random comment when trump came back from north korea, that said something like: after all these years under obama, i van finally rest easy, i can finally sleep at night, now that my family is save and we are not under constant nuclear threat anymore.
  I get that people are paranoid and scared, and they hide at home with a gun under their pillow. But how the fuck does this thought crosses anyone's mind? From the guy who can barely say nuclear.
  
  How does that thought cross their mind?
  Because black man scary, that's why.
- That wasn't even close to a nuclear war. The real threat was nuking the hurricanes. Just imagine what could have happened if Atlantis retaliated. /s
  
  …Florida sinks into the sea? I’m good with that.
- No, we didn't. At no point in any of our presidents' tenures was North Korea a nuclear threat, regardless of how the US or that president was treating them.
  
  That's just patently untrue. They've never been capable of ICBM's but they have nuclear attack subs that Naval ASW sorties have been tracking for years because they can just pull up to the coast and start firing nukes.
  In fact submarines are the most realistic nuclear threat we have, the time between launch and detonation is mere minutes compared to the orbital flight time of an ICBM.
- North Korea is not a threat and never will be a threat unless attacked. They are just hungry and making a show. Fucking Americans man.....
  
  Hey now, most Americans know NK is not a threat. Just not the dumbass ex president.
  
  I know that, and you know that, but you're talking about a guy that seriously considered nuking a hurricane.

It's like watching Cartman come up with crazier and crazier stories as he takes credit for the fish sticks joke

He might actually believe that himself.
And I'd like to see him in jail as much as the next one, but is this really news? "Colossal narcissist brags about his achievements".
- No it's not news, but it's got the orange assholes name in the title so it's going to get clicks and comments

Trump narrowly averted a nuclear holocaust... by forgetting how the Football works.
- They haven't given him the football. It's just a briefcase with an Arduino and some LEDs in it.
  
  The ~~internet~~football doesn't weigh anything, ~~Jen~~Mr. President.

And friends of mine have said, you are the most honest person in the world.
LMFAO. Does the world have recorded audio or recorded video of any other human being in the history of humanity making more provably false statements than trump? No. If there was a Guinness world record for lying, trump would be the record holder.
- Washington couldn't tell a lie
  Nixon couldn't tell the truth
  Trump couldn't tell the difference

I averted nuclear holocaust because I couldn't remember the codes for it

In this article: lying liar lies.
- Ehm, no? Didn't you read the article? Trump knows someone who says he's the most honest person in the world! So obviously he is not lying.

Fun fact: that's not a defense for any of his crimes.
Trump is going to die in federal custody if he doesn't off himself first.
- We can only hope, but I have zero trust in the justice system to sentence him to any jail time.
  
  I said custody, not jail time. An ex-president knows too much to be left in General Population.
  As long as we don't fuck up & elect a Republican, Trump isn't walking away from 91 felonies. He will die alone under house arrest at a military base.
  
  If the justice system fails to act, won't someone rid me of this meddlesome ex-president?
- He could also try running to Russia
  
  Well he's already revealed all the state secrets, so there isn't much risk I suppose.
  
  That didn't work for Manafort. I'm not sure Trump's Secret Security detail would allow that, even if he wasn't under indictment for 91 felonies.
- I'm honestly surprised he hasn't gotten the Epstein treatment. Given what he knows, who he works for, amd his absolute inability to control his mouth, the people pulling strings must be concerned about the next thing he might say. I guess they think he might win reelection? I still think the moment he is more dangerous than useful, he has a controlled cardiac event.
  
  This is not the timeline we want to see. It'd basically validate all the bullshit deep state claims.
  I don't want to be a country where politicians fall out of windows.
  
  I don't think they would care. Would anyone believe him anyway?
