Title: Trump is trying to be leader of the world
Post by Armchair_Politician on Feb 20th, 2026 at 8:15am
Trump really has no shame and his ego knows no bounds. Only a colossal moron would sign up to this, which explains why so few have and why it is destined to be a failure...

Yes. The UN has been proven to be a failure often in the last 10 years, hell - let's say since Yugoslavia existed.
Looks like Trump is showing them up for what the UN is.

According to the draft charter, member states that pay more than US$1 billion ($1.5 billion) in "cash funds" to the board within its first year can become permanent members of the body.

Where does the cash go?

Hmm, I wonder   ::)

He's not even pretending he's not corrupt. He's proud of it.

He doesn't even think it's corruption.

As a career criminal, he just thinks it's completely normal to steal money from people, rape them, etc.

In his rapidly deteriorating mind he doesn't believe he's doing anything wrong.

We must have peace, Armchair, it's a beautiful word.

Not as new as groceries, or as grand as the big fella's favourite word tariffs, but a word just the same, no?

If the peace board fails, Donnie can go back to plan A. That's where you get Zalelsky and Putin in a room. If Vlad won't play nice, you say Vladimir...

You say it a little bit mean. DL's good at that. He used to do it all the time on the Apprentice, do you recall?

Gary... He'd say. Gary got scared. He knew what was coming next.

Gary Busey, you're fired.

And just like that, Gary lost his chance to win Celebrity Apprentice and make lots of bucks for his favourite charities.

Donnie's peace board is exactly the same. The celebrity world leaders sit around the boardroom in their suits, with Donnie at the head of the table. He'll have Suzie sitting to his left taking notes, Steve Witkoff on his right, blinking behind his glasses. Jared will lurk around in the background, as he does. He's always sniffing out a deal, that one.

Around the table, you'll see various suits, envoys and sheikhs. They'll all complain about the lights heating up the room. It can't be helped, Donnie will say, they're for the cameras. Make sure to use lots of powder, it covers up the sweat.

They'll begin. The format's pretty easy. They go round the room and everybody gives a quick speech, saying what a great leader Donnie is.

Donnie sits there, nodding along, trying not to be caught by the fake news, taking a nap.

When they're done, Jared goes around with his iPad, doing deals. For the finer details, Eric and Don Jnr are upstairs, away from the cameras, hammering it out.

Just not too fine. They're not known for their maths - or their legal prowess. Big picture stuff the lawyers can sort out later.

If anybody at the meeting raises peace, or tries to resolve any conflict, they get it over with pretty quick. DL might muse on the word peace, saying how great it sounds, but he knows Rome wasn't built in a day. He'll then inspire everybody with one of his stories - maybe a property developer friend who used to throw wild parties, how smart his uncle at MIT was, or how low his golf handicap is.

We will make America great again, no?

Good post - and good for a chuckle, as usual... ;) .

BUT....

Trump's real purpose is to bypass the pesky UNSC veto which is the reason why the UN can't achieve peace.

He wants to BE the UN  ...but most of the West doesn't want to join the BOP,  neither do  China and Russia - regardless of an invite from Trump.

So - where does that leave us?

Back to war we go...

Your solution?

Yep and Trump is in charge forever, can veto anything he wants and can invite or disinvite anyone he wants. That’s real dictator stuff.

That's a tough one, Great.

Look, is war so bad, really? Strictly speaking, DL doesn't have to actually start one.

He can just move the USS Gerald Ford around the world, looking tough.

It worked on Venezuela, no?

Now he's sent it over to the Persian Gulf to rattle the Mullahs.

That's how DL does peace. No rest for the wicked, eh? The Peace Board's just a little earner on the side.

It worked on Maduro of People's Narco of Great America. He wanted a quick trip by outboard runabout but was persuaded to fly   Delta Force Air by his friend Donald and about 1/4 of US Navy.
Xi won't blink and plays poker.

Hey Chimera, you probably didn't hear about DL's old buddy, Bolenaro.

A couple of months ago, he was out on bail for his coup attempt, renting a pad a few blocks from the US embassy. Little Marco's boys helped him plot an escape. Apparently they had a CIA plane ready to go somewhere in Brazil, all Bolenaro had to do was make it to the US embassy.

So they staged a little protest outside the embassy. Somehow, they manage to cause a power outage. Bolenaro tries to cut off his ankle bracelet. The alarm goes off at the local cop shop and they race over to catch Bolenaro halfway out the door.

Long story short, they slap the cuffs on Bolenaro, lock him up and arraign him to court, where he pretends he had a psychotic episode and thought his ankle bracelet was a snake.

I kid you not. The judge tells him to pull the other one and cancels his bail. Bolenaro goes back to jail, probably for the rest of his life.

The fake news tell DL, and he acts all coy.

Oh? He says. They caught him, did they? So sad...

As you've probably guessed by now, DL ordered the whole thing. He got Marco to help bust Bolenaro out of Brazil and give him exile in Florida, where he's got a cushy pad with all his stolen Brazilian loot.

Donroe doctrine, innit. We will make America great again, no?

Minus the veto, the UNSC - possessing 99% of the world's modern military capacity, would defend the peace by majority vote of the UNSC ie peace as determined by the UN's resolution-passing capacity.

Trump's real purpose is to bypass the pesky UNSC veto which is the reason why the UN can't achieve peace.

He wants to BE the UN  ...but most of the West doesn't want to join the BOP,  neither do  China and Russia - regardless of an invite from Trump.

So - where does that leave us?

Back to war we go...

Your solution?


That's a tough one, Great.

Look, is war so bad, really? Strictly speaking, DL doesn't have to actually start one.

He can just move the USS Gerald Ford around the world, looking tough.

It worked on Venezuela, no?

Now he's sent it over to the Persian Gulf to rattle the Mullahs.

That's how DL does peace. No rest for the wicked, eh? The Peace Board's just a little earner on the side.

WITCH HUNT !!!


Good point: peace through terror. 

And Russia's ok so long as Trump has 'good relations' with Putin.

(What dirt DOES Putin have on Trump?....)


Well, Steve Bannon thinks it's his college transcripts.

Personally, I think it's the source of his cash.

You?


Dunno; if you are correct, we are faced with rule by a corrupt NPP-seeker. 

So - back to war, I suppose.... 


Just so. The only thing is, the US is sure to lose any wars he starts.

After all, look who he's got running the renamed Department of War.

With chumps like this, Xi can sleep well at night.

Minus the veto,

The veto wasn't an accident or free gift. The powers chose it because they won't be bound against their national interest. That compulsion will exist inescapably, as nations by definition.  The answer is not at the top but the base: each person is a part of the nation which produces leaders. The combined sanity / insanity is then activated.

Trumps whole make America great again position is the exact opposite. His position has been to abdicate America's position in the world. At this moment the world sees America as a threat and one of the countries not to be trusted.

He has single-handedly turned one of the greatest nations on the globe into the laughing stock of the world.

Not that anyone should be surprised - everything he touches turns to crap.

He has the Sadim Touch.

Indeed.
