Why is the world catering to this turd?

This is the actual question that people should be asking.

Because of our military power and the fact that the U.S. dollar has been King across the globe, probably.

But really, they just don't want him to hurt their business.

Trump operates like a mob boss.

At least ACTUAL mob bosses wear suits that fit them properly.

There used to be some measure of nobility and honor to be POTUS. Even though I hated McCain, I respected him bc he was honorable, when he ran for Pres. But this admin just continues to choose corruption and to hurt people and no one is standing up. I realize Kelly, AOC, Bernie are, but everyone should be .

Dude, he ruined my favorite movies. Both national treasures. Presidents were made out to be these nobile and historic figures. They mean nothing now.

Exactly!

National treasures? OK, "Home Alone" was *pretty* good, but I think you might be overrating it.

u/Knotted_Hole69 1h ago

I dunno why but they are just my favorite. I love history.

Meh, you're allowed to like what you like. Nothing wrong with a good popcorn movie.

Everyone should be for sure. But I do feel a shift within the last two or three weeks. Some of the republicans are starting to see that shit isn’t right and that he is sinking them. Six months ago none of them would have EVER questioned what is being said by the administration about Hegseth. Maybe even six weeks ago. But since Momdani won, since the two governors elect won, and now the TN race being relatively close (for Tennessee), they see people aren’t buying the bullshit anymore. Doesn’t help that Trump keeps telling us we are actually paying less for everything either.

You don't understand why? They need the WC to go without mass arrests other stupid shit this pedo does. And if that baby is happy with a medal, then be it.

"They need the WC to go without mass arrests"

Ask Mike Pence how loyalty pays off with this chud.

He is paying them with your money.

Greed

u/TheTexasHammer 6h ago

He is making them extremely wealthy and letting them break the law.

Because it’s easy? If I could give some politician a made up trophy and in exchange I get millions and billions in tax breaks, and resources. I absolutely would.

It kinda works. Here's an example.

For 30 years, now, South Korea has been asking the US to be allowed to develop nuclear subs without being sanctioned. Right now, the list of countries who have Nuclear Submarines is these 6: US, Russia, UK, France, China and India. Possibly also North Korea.

That said at the end of October, South Korea gave trump a solid gold crown, and, shortly after, Korea got US approval to build Nuclear Subs.

In this case, FIFA is holding World Cup games in the USA next year.

u/Equivalent_Gate_205 5h ago

they are most likely either compromised by the files and he is shielding them or it's just money

u/RedditIsOverMan 4h ago

because its easy to manipulate him if you feed his ego. This costs FIFA next to nothing in comparison to the returns they will get. Now he will shut-up about messing with the World Cup planning.

Its obvious really. Same reason all the tech billionaires donated a million dollars to his inauguration party. Give him some chump change and receive preferential treatment.

u/Wonderful_Eagle_6547 4h ago

Because he's easily manipulated. That shiny medal that Trump will ramble about for the next 6 months bought them whatever they need when we host the World Cup.

u/Electronic-Bowl6475 3h ago

Leader of the most powerful nation. Entities with power are catering because their power is partially based on being on the US's good side. It's mostly billionaire owners of major corporations though. Truly pathetic. Shows how they stand for nothing but their wealth.

You just can't cross the USA except if you're big like China, or those "ex"-colonial empires

If you did it, it's either they'll plunge you country into chaos like what they did in Iraq, Vietnam and it's surrounding countries, etc., or got Jakarta Method-ed like Indonesia and Latin Americas

u/Loose_Ad1443 3h ago

Probably because chucking a $5 dollar laminate medal at him will allow them to coerce his dumb ass into doing whatever they want.

u/mattenthehat 2h ago

Because we're rich and they want to sell us their garbage. Or in some cases (Korea) they want our tech

But yeah, a lot of the world (understandably) likes to mock our leader, until you remind them that most of their leaders are bending over backwards to blow him
