> Not “kinda funny” that Trump thinks “asylum” means other countries are sending people from insane asylums.
Not funny at all that the rules of the free world are being turned upside down.
Grow up, America. Fix your system. Fight back. Ridiculing this may not be enough.

you are right. many of us are trying. imagine living in an insane asylum and your elected leaders are the inmates and have all the levers of power and wealth at their disposal. also imagine them using that power and wealth to silence and oppress you.

Who is going to invoke the 25th?

Stephen Miller is running the country, Noam is sending hundreds of millions to her inner circle, and Narco Rubio on your nomination is poised to be King of Cuba.

The lunatics are running the asylum.

You're claiming asylum but in the way king dipshit thinks it means

Dangerous and a lunatic indeed.

He belongs in an asylum.
In a deranged text message to the Norwegian prime minister, Trump linked his repeated threats to seize Greenland to his annoyance at not being given the Nobel Peace Prize. The man is in urgent need of psychiatric help. He is a dangerous lunatic.

Guess I'll have to make one that says
TRUMP FOR THE ASYLUM.

Either way, America needs to remove every member of the GOP pestilence.

(See murderers/rapists/insane asylum escapees/garbage people from a shithole country. Words matter and labels stick.)

For real. Trump thinks asylum means that other countries send patients from their psychiatric hospitals.

I can't even...
Kinda funny that Trump thinks "asylum" means other countries send people from insane asylums, and a) this is real life, not a ham-handed Idiocracy-type satire, b) he has surely been corrected several times but is incapable of updating his priors, & c) most media politely agree not to mention it.

I think like all asylum systems sadly they tend to be pretty bad on purpose
January 19, 2026 at 9:34 PM
You forgot the vulnerable and minority asylum seekers in that post. My main red lines are his trans people and asylum seeker stance. I know he’s done some good, but those are unforgivable.

Vind ik wel heel bizar inderdaad. In één brief houdt hij een heel land verantwoordelijk voor een beslissing van een onafhankelijk committee, en gebruikt dat als reden om grondgebied van een compleet ander land af te pakken. Dan nog alle bizarre leugens en ondiplomatiek taalgebruik. Rijp voor asylum.

The Hmong fought against the Vietnamese on the US side and were given asylum due to retributions from Vietnam

"ICE raided the home of a Hmong family and brought out a grandfather, a U.S. citizen, into the frigid air wearing just underwear, a blanket & a pair of Crocs"

the lunatic is running the asylum
January 19, 2026 at 9:25 PM
Masked ICE agents are protecting their identities because the radical Left / ANTIFA type operatives are a physical threat to them as they rid America of the Democrat / Biden administrations strategic political investment in millions of "Asylum Seekers".

Supposed to just let them stay?

He doesn’t know the difference between seeking asylum and insane asylum ‼️
mad king moment

Trump thinks a cognitive test is something you "ace."

Trump thinks asylum seekers are people from insane asylums.

Trump thinks tariffs are paid by foreign countries.

Trump thinks national military budgets are money "paid" to NATO.

Trump thinks Putin wants Ukraine to succeed.

it’s a negative projection, neglecting he belongs into an insane asylum (recte:prison)
January 19, 2026 at 9:14 PM
He should be asked point blank in a interview what claiming asylum means!
January 19, 2026 at 9:14 PM
So Trumps going to offer asylum to British Jews when he doesn’t even protect the people living here. He’s such a liar. He really could care less about Jewish people let alone anyone one other than himself. It’s all for show with him to make people think he cares. He doesn’t!!
January 19, 2026 at 9:06 PM
Unless the citizens are trans people of course. I’m also not a fan of his apparent stance on vulnerable asylum seekers.

I accept he’s done some good. But I can’t get over the lack of support for two vulnerable minorities.

We really are through the looking glass. Where up is down and down is up. We are all finding out in real time when lunatics are running the asylum.
January 19, 2026 at 9:03 PM
I’m never gonna get over the whole asylum thing like I’m sure he’s been told many times but refuses to either believe it or understand it
