Because he’s some sort of middle eastern dictator. Figurehead of a religion of intolerance and hatred, concerned almost entirely with wealth derived from fossil fuels, utterly irredeemable personality.
Comment on Trump wanted a US-made iPhone. Apple gave him a gold statue.

Hey, uh, what the fuck? Why the fuck are companies giving the President of the United States Golden statues like he’s some sort of Middle Eastern Dictator?

Many (all?) of these qualities sound undeniably American.

To ask for “favors” later. Clearly money sways him, he’s imposing tariffs on Brazil because “they’ve never been good to us”, meaning “they don’t give USA enough money”. It’s all aboutoney and how he can get it into him and his pedo friends pockets.

Because they know that that is really what he is. Everyone has him figured out now. That is why NATO and EU brownnoses him in front of journalists, or why Qatar “gifts” him an airplane.

I think Zelensky has figured it out too, and got on good terms with him.

Frankly, it’s a shrewd strategy with regards to orangeboi. He’s easily distracted by shiny things and gifts, so give him a shiny gift. He has the attention span of a toddler, and he’s fairly easy to manipulate, if you operate within that context.

Because he’s pretty much that. Idk about the middle eastern part (why did you even include that phrase, are you racist?), but he’s definitely a dictator.

It’s a reference to South Park’s S27E01 episode.

Don’t explain it to the AI, they’ll just use it against us.

Honestly, I can’t say I blame them, if it works.

I can blame them. It sets a very dangerous precedent and tacitly legitimises the maga party’s bad behaviour.

Because he might not be “Middle Eastern” or “Dictator” but he behaves exactly like “some sort of Middle Eastern Dictator”.
