This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."
Very well stated.
BREAKING: A shocking new Guardian investigation discovers that Trump and Hegseth murdered EIGHT CHILDREN and four adults, including a pregnant woman, in an airstrike on a school and homes in Somalia…and NEVER told the public!
What ELSE aren’t they telling us?
Shortly after 9am on 15 November 2025, the town of Jamaame in south Somalia was pummeled with a series of explosions. Missiles, almost certainly fired from American MQ-9 Reaper drones, destroyed a school and several homes.
“All my children were lying on the ground covered in blood. When I tried to tend to them, shells began falling everywhere. Every direction you turned, there were shells and missiles raining everywhere,” said Marian Haji Abdi Guled.
A farmer, Abdullahi Mohamed Abo Sheikh Ali, returned home in shock to find his children murdered. His grandfather recounted to the Guardian how “clothes and books were scattered on the ground, but I couldn’t focus on them. I was in shock, standing before the bodies of my grandchildren. They were ripped to pieces.”
Mohamed is tortured by the memory of having to find the pieces of his torn-apart grandchildren. They were too slippery, he says, and kept sliding from his grasp. “There was no place to grip because they were ripped to pieces.”
“The Americans bombed us,” said Abdullahi. “Children, women and elders were bombed. They spared nothing.”
The strike killed Abullahi's heavily pregnant daughter-in-law Safiyo Hassan Abukar, her ten-year-old daughter Abdifatah, seven-year-old Abdinasir, six-year-old Hussein, and four-year-old Abdurahman.
Mohamed Hassan Abdulle found his home flattened and the mangled bodies of his 26-year-old wife, Farhiyo Hassan Nuur, and daughter, 10-month-old Layla Mohamed Hassan.
He stood beside his destroyed home, the entire neighbourhood ablaze. “I couldn’t even find anyone to help carry the bodies of my wife and daughter,” he says.
Gedow Ibrahim received a call from his wife, terrified about the circling drones. He raced home. His daughters, Maryan, nine, and Farhiyo, seven, were dead.
“I saw the lifeless bodies of my children. One of them had their left arm torn off. The other one had shrapnel in their back, which came out of their chest.”
Mohamed says at least 18 homes were destroyed. The school was reduced to a shell. Guled counted nine strikes in the Burburka neighbourhood alone.
Locals say that the al-Shabaab terror group has no presence in the town, which raises huge questions about why and how this quiet village of livestock herders was selected to be massacred, why the presence of children playing in the street didn’t deter the strikes, or why they kept firing after the first homes were hit.
The Trump administration has refused to comment on anything. When the White House was approached for a response to the Jamaame strikes, the deputy press secretary Anna Kelly asked if the Guardian would also focus on “fraud committed by Somalis in the United States?”
Between these strikes in Somalia and the massacre of sailors in the Caribbean, it is clear that the Trump administration is simply killing for the sake of killing.
This is the consequence of building the world’s most sophisticated murder machine – the people in charge of pressing the buttons won’t always be responsible or empathetic.
Sometimes, they will be murderous, racist psychopaths like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.
They must be held accountable after all this is over. These crimes are beyond horrific.
@MarioNawfal He is so humble, some famous baker should name a pie after him: Humble Trump Pie. (Minnie from the movie THE HELP knows the perfect ingredient to put in that pie.)
@TweeterDumber I have said for many years that Trump will burn the USA to the ground. Unfortunately, that (probably) means a gigantic portion of the rest of the world will be in ashes, too. Hitler, at the very end, wanted Germany destroyed, too. Cult leaders follow very similar patterns.
@Marston1889 It is mindbogglingly obvious that he is owned by Putin. The MAGAs think Putin is a "white stud." They will go down with the ship for Trump and burn this country to ashes. This is the brutal truth.
