I wish things would happen to him

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 15 hours ago

They are. We're all in a hell built to punish Trump. He gets everything he wants, but in a monkey paw sort of way

Now, as his death approaches and his thoughts turn to his legacy, the pedo files are being released. He's going to live just long enough to see his name torn off of buildings

"Things happen" ???

Trump has definitely killed some poor girl and had the body disappeared in the past to have this level of sympathy for Khashoggi.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 15 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Probably a hit and run on 5th Avenue, hence his earlier comment.

It's always projection, so he clearly killed someone there and got away with it

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

A lot of people didn't like that poor girl.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

if she was important, would she really have been poor? -Jesus Fucking Capitalist.

What's disgusting is that this isn't even a joke. That is really what those fucking people think, and it's even what they say out loud.

There’s a more plausible but less exciting explanation for this too. Trump has no confidence at all. He’s pathetic. He is desperately seeking affirmation externally and only from certain terrible people. He wants the approval of people he considers impressive because he doesn’t understand how or why the world (or people) work the way they do. Think back to his years in New York. He had a horrible reputation he was never willing to change. He just wants to rebrand himself and all the things people hate about him as desirable traits. All the elites in New York fucking hated him so now he’s trying to find “better friends”. Trump is weak. He has no solid foundation of self. So he needs everyone else to support his emotional needs.

So the whole Charlie Kirk thing is ok then? Because you know, 'things happen' 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–] Carighan@piefed.world 12 points 1 day ago

Same with that CEO. "Things happen". 🤷

Says the guy who couldn't go out in public without standing behind bullet-proof glass after a piece of a teleprompter scratched his ear...

Things happen when you have bone saws lying around

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair, those bone saws were flown in after he got killed. Luring him to the embassy was definitely pre-planned.

Nope I was wrong, the team touched down the same morning as he entered the consulate. https://www.helmut-schmidt.de/en/the-khashoggi-case-a-timeline-of-events

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 23 hours ago

Defending murdering journalist critics on the regime. We all see where this is going right? Seeing how he already thinks making fun of him is illegal?

[–] BigTurkeyLove@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump must be sucking him off too

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

So if you could get a blowjob from trump, would not washing it for a week or two prior make the idea more tolerable ?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I hate you for what you just posted.

[–] Blackdoomax@sh.itjust.works 11 points 20 hours ago

It's time things happen to him.

[–] verdi@feddit.org 11 points 19 hours ago

This reality feels like the punchline to a joke that starts with: The mossad, saudis and nsa walk into bar...

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

Man, I wish things would happen to both of these guys.

[–] LavaPlanet@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 hours ago

Murderer guys face, tho, lol. He looks like he's started seeing the furniture coming to life.

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

I prefer The Guardian’s sedate, kind headline about the meeting: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/18/donald-trump-mohammed-bin-salman

i wish more things would happen

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

I want to slap the living daylights out of him every time he does that stupid "I've got them in the palm of my hand" handshake.
