He doesn't know what's in his tax statements. In fact, how many assholes would you need to understand "his" taxes?
Imagine that. I guess it's only coincidental that you'd already be the perfect citizen in the ideal world you're selling.

There is something similar about trump and Putin: appearances. Trump thought the USS Gerald Ford looked wrong.
A new book says former President Donald Trump was obsessed with the way a new US aircraft carrier looked and routinely complained to military officials that he did not like it.

Insider obtained an early copy of the book, "Peril," by the Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, which is set to be released next week.

The book said Trump was fixated on the first-in-class aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford and regularly expressed dissatisfaction with the ship's high cost of more than $13 billion, the weapons elevators, the catapults, and the placement of the flight command center, known as the ship's "island," on the flight deck.

"The generals and admirals were horrible businessmen, Trump complained repeatedly, and particularly terrible at acquisition and deal making on ships, ensuring the military was always being ripped off," the book said.

In one meeting with military leaders, Trump was said to have reminded them that he had been in the construction business. "I know about elevators," he told them, the book said. "If water gets on them," elevators on the ship could malfunction, he said.

The advanced weapons elevators on the Ford, which move weapons and ammunition on the ship and are part of a suite of new technologies, have long been trouble spots for the new supercarrier, though problems have been more with integration rather than the presence of water.

Throughout his presidency, Trump also complained, sometimes in public, about the catapult system.

In Trump's mind the command center, the thing in the back, had to be in the front. That is where the planes have to land and take off.

It should not go un-noted in this thread--as Putin made his first moves against Ukraine, Trump made sure to kiss his arse. This is the despicable turd that a large portion of the US adores.

'Trump calls Putin "genius" and "savvy" for Ukraine invasion'
“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful,” Trump said in a radio interview with “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.” “He used the word ‘independent’ and ‘we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace.’ You gotta say that’s pretty savvy.”
The shitlord former president also suggested he would like to use a similar approach with Mexico (archived link to full transcript).
So, Putin is now saying, “It’s independent,” a large section of Ukraine. I said, “How smart is that?” And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s strongest peace force… We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re gonna keep peace all right. No, but think of it. Here’s a guy who’s very savvy… I know him very well. Very, very well.

I find that response from Trump to be crazy and horrible - it's almost a Mosley moment, in the lead up to WW2...

When you're a dishonest pile of shit, you can have it both ways. It's all Biden's fault anyway.

'Trump condemns Russia invasion; hints again at 2024 presidential run'
Former President Donald Trump condemned on Saturday Russia's invasion of Ukraine and said he was praying for Ukrainians, switching tone from his praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week.

Trump's remarks at the CPAC conservative gathering in Florida came hours after the United States and allies announced sweeping new sanctions that would kick some Russian banks off the main global payments systems and limit the ability of Russia's central bank to support the rouble.

Addressing an adoring crowd at an event that touts itself as the world's largest conservative gathering, Trump used his speech to bash Democratic President Joe Biden and again hint at a possible run for president in 2024.

The lame-stream media is all focused on Russia defending its borders, while the real threat to democracy is much closer to the US. :teef:

'With the world watching Putin, Trump targets Trudeau'
Donald Trump fired up the Conservative Political Action Conference crowd Saturday night with a barrage of accusations directed at what would have been an unthinkable target just weeks ago: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“The radical left is trying to replace American democracy with woke tyranny,” the former U.S. president told his audience in Orlando, Fla., drawing a shower of boos in agreement. “They want to do the same thing to America that Trudeau has been doing to Canada — and much, much worse.”

...

The former president told one of the Republican Party’s most high-profile events of the year that if Democrats want to fight for democracy abroad, “they should start with the democracy that is under threat right next door, a place called Canada.”

“The tyranny we have witnessed in Canada in recent weeks should shock and dismay people all over the world,” Trump said. “A line has been crossed — you’re either with the peaceful truckers or you are with the left-wing fascists.”

Did something happen in Canada recently?
