Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social@TrumpDailyPosts
Donald J. Trump Truth Social Post 09:43 AM EST 03.20.26 Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran. Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices. So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Why do so many of our fanbase flag off our own players all the time. The hate for Pino, Kamada and Johnson is woeful. If they pull on a Palace shirt they will get my support. Criticism sometimes but not vitriol.#cpfc

@Paul43757482 @BobbyManzi AEK team played him and it almost worked.

What an absurd ending that was, but most importantly, Crystal Palace are in the LAST EIGHT of the Conference League. Crazy game of football. It was the Ismaila Sarr show, in truth. It took 300 minutes, but Palace have finally beaten AEK Larnaca! #CPFC

@kevintasteph @Bald_Eagle_ @IamDrBaldhead Hopefully the opposition being stronger from now on in will make the games more open and interesting. Fiorentina should be a decent match up in the last 8.
English
@Bacoletplayer @Bald_Eagle_ @IamDrBaldhead Bob, we are a mid table PL side with international players and we should be able to deal with all of that from a Cypriot team by winning comfortably and dominating from first minute
And then to struggle against 10

@LippettDaniel @BobbyManzi 15 goals so far this season shades it for me!
English
@Bacoletplayer @BobbyManzi It is still Mitchell for me but my word Sarr is running him close. What a player and what a steal at £13M!!!
English
@kevintasteph @Bald_Eagle_ @IamDrBaldhead AEK almost achieved what they wanted…. a penalty shoot out. The amount of diving and feigning head injuries by their players completely broke up any flow to the game. Referee was Sunday League standard. Lost complete control at the end.

@IamDrBaldhead That’s an understatement, absolute dogshit tonight…but who cares we’re through! 😜

BREAKING: The Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joseph Kent, just resigned and his letter is devastating.
He says Trump was “deceived” into war with Iran, pushed by misinformation and outside pressure, abandoning his own America First principles.
And he says Iran never posed any imminent threat to America.
Read the entire letter below.

@IAG828 @Apalaceboy61 From a reliable contact…. as we can all sense… we no longer have the military muscle to project any genuine power and influence we might have had across the globe. A bite size focus is all we can manage but no PM is going to disclose that!
English
@Bacoletplayer @Apalaceboy61 Spent so much on Iraq, and Afghanistan. No one wants to pay for the military v NHS education etc al
English
An interesting historical analysis of our relationship with POTUS and USA per se. Back US policy completely like Blair did with Iraq and Afghanistan or a more cautious approach adopted by other UK PMs? #ukpolitics

The Richard Tice affair @TiceRichard has opened my eyes to something I had never thought about - where MPs live.
Apparently it’s perfectly legal for a UK citizen to be elected as an MP even if they don’t live in the UK or pay any tax here.
This is ridiculous and must be stopped.
English
@colincurryer 💯 Trump will be gone in just over two years & maybe the relationship will then be more predictable. It’s tough for any other country to deal with a POTUS who constantly changes policy. These are turbulent chaotic times; as close to a World War I’ve known.😞
English
@Bacoletplayer Bang on the money. I have also seen that some think the state visit to the US by the King should be cancelled. For me, this is a crucial opportunity for our soft diplomacy to go into overdrive. Trump blows hot and cold, it’s imperative we stay consistent as a country.
English
@Apalaceboy61 Various governments since end of Cold War have hollowed out our military. For any government ultimately few people want to pay more taxes for a properly resourced military or public services per se. Comes down to political choices on priorities.
English
@Bacoletplayer A fair point mate but we are already the 5th largest GDP spender on defence, and still can’t get a minesweeper in the gulf 🤷🏻♂️ !someone’s having it away ? Who knows
English
@Apalaceboy61 Whatever the reason following our recent history in the Middle East right back to the Suez crisis it’s best to be cautious. I’m no supporter of war but hopefully this Government will address the underfunding of our military for national defence.
English
@Bacoletplayer Main reason we won’t join trump in the strait is we can’t and do not have the ships or aircraft to deploy and stammer knows it so he try’s to play the independent angle 🤷🏻♂️
English
@Apalaceboy61 Might be on some topics but pretty spot on with this one… a relationship for any country with the superpower USA is a one way street. Even Thatcher got ‘shafted’ by Reagan over US invasion of Grenada a Crown Territory.
English
@Bacoletplayer I wouldn’t read anything sopel put out mate
English
@Bacoletplayer Ask the families of those of us that have served Bob. Easy to commit troops and support. Not so easy extracting them.
English
@MarcWilliams22 @BobbyManzi Pino already has 16 caps for Spain at such a young age…. there is a player in there for sure. Maybe our current system isn’t suiting him…. but in our European games I would start him with Wharton.
English
@Bacoletplayer @BobbyManzi I think if we brought Pino and one other, then that would have given him more time to understand the league. But by throwing him in and then playing that many games, his level has dropped considerably.
English
Crystal Palace is rooted in one type of player: mavericks. Any generation of #CPFC supporters would say that is why they love watching them.
Yet that unpredictability has evaporated in Oliver Glasner’s final season, with supporters' bored and exhausted groans a matchday staple.
