    According to United States law, any children born in United States territory is considered an US citizen and regardless of the claim being legitimate or not according to the US it is their territory, therefore any child born there would be considered US citizen, basically allowing in free immigration from Iran.

      Republicans already seem intent on nullifying birthright citizenship, not that it would stop them from simply ignoring laws they don’t like anyway…

    There is a far greater senility problem, than anyone could ever accuse Biden of having. The problem is greater because he has no handlers around him to filter the stupid.

    Trump also announced a few weeks ago that the US would collect 20% tarrifs/tolls on all shipments in the SoH. He had to walk back the stupid 2 days later. The only path towards the stupidity becoming reality is if Iran or Oman becomes a US territory, although planting a US flag on a small rock near the SoH, and setting a precedent of whoever controls that rock has territorial control over the SoH (pure stupid), would legitimize Iran’s full claim, after they kill all US troops on the rock.

    This would justify immediate impeachment, or to at least force another cognitive test at congress’s request for review by congress.

    I think at this point he is just jealous that he doesn’t have a 10 year war like Vietnam to his name and this is why he is a acting like a spoiled little child regarding this.

        That game should really be called 4d chess with multiverse time travel. They “only” added two dimensions to regular chess, but in regular chess the pieces don’t move in all 3 dimensions, only 2.

        That being said I have almost 20 hours in this game and am still too stupid for it, even if it’s “only” 4D 😭

          It’s unfortunately a bad strategy to branch into new timelines, making high level play look like regular chess. Until one player is far behind and will do a long jump back to try to rescue the game state

    “Pretty soon, I will be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said during an address highlighting his administration’s efforts to combat crime in the U.S.

    That’ll do it. That’ll stop crime in the US for sure. I can follow the logic

        Nope. Not really. All this random multitasking, all the constant never ending bullshit. It’s all actually 1 task.

        That 1 task is called “Distract everybody from the epstein files”

            I honestly think the vast majority would drop him. Its their hard line. For now they’re denying he’s in there. But hia plummeting popularity show that some republicans are in agreement that trump is guilty. Which is why they’ve stopped supporting him in recent years.

            So I think his base would dramatically shrink. But not die.

    How does this dumbfuck manage to get STUPIDER with each passing day? It’s like he’s studying to get a PhD in Imbecility.

    Absolutely brilliant Trump. And now that you are at it, why not declare China a US territory too?
    I wonder why nobody thought of that before? I guess it’s because they don’t have big brains. 🤡 🤢 🤣
