  1. Not the biggest fan of Sánchez but I’m glad he’s the president at this point because PP would have folded like a twig, selling the country right away.

    Oh yeah? Well I heard Spain wasn’t even invited. I guess their disinvitation got lost in the mail.

  3. Trump, the person, is the sole authority of this international organization, not the POTUS, so why would anyone join?

    No gracias, pendejo.

    And yes, that’s central South American Spanish but I felt like it fit.

    How do you have a board of peace with countries actively committing genocide on it?

    I wonder how close those who pay the $1 billion are sailing to being guilty of bribery or breaking the foreign emoluments clause of the constitution.

    While Trump will pardon himself, I have a feeling some people might be left swinging in the wind when he leaves office.

  6. Trump probably thinks Spain is a province of Mexico, and will just use it as an excuse to put more tariffs on them.

  7. Hilariously, this Board of “Peace” is almost all dictators and autocrats so far. What a surprise.

    1984 vibes intensifying by the month.

    We live in a world divided into two halves:

    – sheep who are afraid to disobey the bullies.
    – and elephants who stand firm in their own truth.

    Trump thinks Spain is a part of brics and now this, oooof good job he can’t locate Spain on a map otherwise he will do a Venezuela on them.

  10. Nobody in there right mind should. 

    It’s the equivalent of the trump bible.  

    He’s the world’s most successful con artist, nothing more

  11. In 20 minutes Donald will send the letter indicating that he is withdrawing his invitation to Spain!

  12. “Well you weren’t invited anyways!!” – Trump in a mangled truth social post in 5 minutes time

  13. It’s funny how the word “peace” is in the title, but it clearly doesn’t mean negotiation, compromise, or respect. Spain just called out the optics for what they are.

  14. “You didn’t join my circus of peace, so now I’m not obligated to be peaceful anymore. I am entitled to your country now”

  15. Is this the most ope, on the table grift of his current term, or was the meme coin more overt? He’s extorting nations for $1bn each, with absolutely no end goal, other than bringing criminal countries like Russia, Belarus, and Turkey together.

  16. If he had joined, it would have been political suicide at this point. 

    He is facing a lot of backlash already

    Hungary, Bulgaria, Argentina, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

    I wonder what all these countries have in common…🤔

  18. The silver lining of the trump administration is how it’s bringing Europe and other parts of the world together.

    Realising that dependence on a single capitalist economy is risky and now investing in its own future and security.

  19. So what’s the tariffs Trump are placing on Spain then? If France was threatened with tariffs on wine and champagne for refusing to join Bored of Peace, then Cava perhaps?

    Read the fine print: Trump is essentially chairman for life at the so-called “Board of Peace”. His term never expires. “Replacement of the Chairman may occur only following voluntary resignation or as a result of incapacity.”
