8 years of having to listen to people telling me Obama is a Muslim and that Muslims shouldn't be able to be president and just wait for Sharia law.

Trump pulls this stunt: Silence. Or "He's a Christian so it doesn't matter what he says and besides he didn't mean it." Very little in between. Almost no push back.

What's up with people listening to what Trump says which either spook or calm the market, but no one ever pays attention to Iran, who has the bigger leverage and ultimately calls the shot, if there is ever any peace talks being initiated? Whenever Trump says there is peace talks or ceasefire, Iran quickly counters the claim and we're back to zero all over again.

For people who even hates Trump, why even believe what he says? Why not consider if Iran even agreed to a ceasefire? Is it because the market too racist to listen to Iran, despite having more cards than the US and Trump in this conflict?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

Trump can just decide they will stop bombing civilians.

Iran can't just decide that the US will stop

For people who even hates Trump, why even believe what he says?

Because Trump in some cases has the direct power to make words into action. For example bombing Iran's power plants - that happens if Trump tells his generals to make it happen (after purging the general staff, of course).

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Iran has more cards because they have been bombing energy infrastructures across the Middle East and restricting the vessels that go through the strait. I would be more rejoicing if Iran agreed to stop the attacks for an actual ceasefire.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

The issue is, this is a joint war involving Israel as well. As you may have noticed from the smoking pile of rubble that was Gaza City, Israel has a long history of "we're just gonna violate that ceasefire real quick".

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They were attacked and Trump is talking about and actually bombing their infrastructure, making the other side’s infrastructure fair game. Iran has had a No First Strike policy meaning they committed to not fighting anyone unless attacked first and Iran had not invaded another country or started a war in over 200 years.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

While you are correct, that doesn't really answer why people listen more to Trump than Iran, even though Iran has the advantage on this conflict.

[–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

It's because less people know ~~Arabic~~ Persian than English (in me area at least)

Edit: Persian not Arabic (which is much worse)

I'm guessing it's because he's the master of attention-seeking.

And he said it on Easter no less.

Imagine if Obama ever said that on any day!

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 67 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You mean Barack HUSSEIN Obama?

THAT Obama?

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Barack HUSSEIN Obama? The ~~well known mainline protestant Christian~~ MuSlIm SoCiAlIsT WhO WaNtS tO iMpOsE ShArIa LaW On AmErIcA?

THAT OBAMA??

The same Barack Hussein Obama who Trump himself famously said would start a war with Iran to try to help his lagging poll numbers back in the day I'm pretty sure.

"Introduce"? The First Lady is already married to one.

He's the first president who's ever made me feel humiliated.

Good job

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Even as a non-US resident I feel vicarious embarassment, although it's been gradually replaced by incredulity and outrage.

I hate the guy with a hatred that words cannot describe, but really? The first?

Beautiful photoshop job: the matted blonde beard matches appropriately to his hair type & face countours. The turban coloring matches his suit fairly well too, and even its relative brightness is explainable by not being made of a suit material such as wool.

The only unsolicited criticism would be the blurry tail end of the turban weakening the illusion for your phtoshop snob peers. If there was no hard edge to use for the turban's left side, could've copied, mirrored, and rotated the right side. Oh also the light source seems to be above him rather than in front, meaning the turban would cast a subtle shadow below it onto his brow. So like Trump's sexual interests: it's just minor stuff.

That being said I realize this isn't your job, and this is hopefully taken as collegial, constructive banter intended to improve a shared, beloved hobby. Saved this and wish there was a way to "follow" creators like on other platforms. Thank you for your service.

Hey I'll take an imperfect Photoshop job over lazy AI slop any day of the week. 👍

Ooh random fun fact about this image, the white lines on green and red section aren't simple decoration. They are a form of square-kufic calligraphy!

The praise Allah line seems to me like the kind of thing a shitposter would say just to get a reaction.

[–] mmcintyre@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He was a shitposter before he was president.

[–] lordziv@lemmy.nz 4 points 6 days ago
