How was this meeting not a violation of the Logan Act?

Trump is already resembling Maduro, making threats if he loses the election.

He said the same thing about Hillary. He said the same thing about Biden.

Yeah remember when he lost to Biden and then nothing happened and he and his supporters participated in a completely peaceful transfer of power just like normal?

I'm pretty sure that WWIII didn't then follow that event, which is the point. Trump has been consistently saying a nuclear war will happen if you don't elect him since 2016.

Very true. I personally think electing Trump is probably more likely to lead to an escalation of global tensions.

Yep: we already saw how his placation of Putin likely led to the invasion of Ukraine, and his recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel for sure pumped up Netanyahu and his coalition.

Guys, guys, relax, maybe he just means a "third-world" war.

America is a third world country with a Gucci belt.

America is fifty bickering cats stacked up in a trenchcoat.

... With enough nuclear weapons to glass a hemisphere.

three corporations in a trenchcoat

and id argue it would be hard to selectively glass just a hemisphere.

Why use many word when few do trick

Why the hell is this man who does not hold public office and is not an official representative of the United States meeting with world leaders at all?

If it was literally anybody else, even Obama, they'd be getting questioned by the FBI and DoJ right about now

They probably think he still has enough money to be worth listening to

Lol what

It's opposite day in Trump world, again. What he means is that if he wins the election and allows Russia to win in Ukraine as he absolutely will, the Baltics and Taiwan are next, probably simultaneously so that NATO is overwhelmed and the whole world is forced into this century's first world war.

But of course, he will spin this as "fostering peace" with China and Russia, because presidents who don't simply Art of the Deal their way out of wars (read: selling off countries that aren't theirs) are losers. The whole "oh no we're in a war now" thing will be studiously avoided until the next election, or at least the US getting involved in such a war, because then it's some other sucker's problem.

I 100% refuse to agree that a candidate asshole like Trump should have access ever again to top secret information. Specially when they are not president yet, and hopefully won't be.

The gravy seals being stomped by the US Military hardly counts as a third world war, Trump

Yea but they plan to call in General Custard and the green bean berets, with air support by the Blue Angel hair pastas.

Bit it'll be fun to watch.

What a goulish thing to say.

*I'd like the downvoters to explain what pleasure they get from watching their fellow citizens get killed. And what makes it more enjoyable when their hat is red as opposed to blue.

Maybe a wannabe second civil war. The third world war will come when he gets into the white house.

They'll use legal mechanisms like civil asset forfeiture and "crime free housing" to continue going after people they don't like. They can kick you out of your home and then take your kids away for it and then send them to a religious orphanage or foster family where they will be forced to work.

Trump has some serious narcissism going on.

That fuckhead is nothing but a shit talking liar with every breath he exhales. Pathological is too polite a term for it.

You and what army Trump?

(Finally, an opportunity to set that unironically)

And who's gonna sling nukes on that day, Trump? Because you ain't got the codes and Vlad sure ain't sticking his neck out for you.

I guess he doesn't count it as a world war if we have already capitulated to Russia before the war starts?

Globalists will never stop financing war caos..
