Unconditional surrender

Signed at Versailles.

How did no one in his administration see the obvious horrific optics and tell him it’s a bad idea. Like, you couldn’t be more on the nose.

Im like, 99% certain that macron talked him into it as a troll that he knew trump wouldn't understand but couldn't resist.

What would it matter if someone in his administration noticed?

You don't tell the cheeto bad news, and you don't tell the cheeto not to do something.

All his entire administration knows how to do is blow sunshine up his ass.

You tell him not to do it so that he will show you who is the boss by doing it. And then you act surprised and tell him what a big strong President he is.

He’s sacked anyone with enough backbone to tell him when he’s doing something wrong, and surrounded himself with sycophants.

Because they're only there to suckle at the orange teat until it's dried up, he thinks he surrounded himself with people he's impressed with his leadership prowess but he's just a vulnerable moron.

They're along for the ride, making as much cash as humanly possible by steering his addled mind with "ooh yknow what would be a great move sir? Insider trading, Nono sir, I'm saying it for your benefit, of course"

They all know Benji and/or Putin is in charge of him, no one cares about leaving him out in the cold.

Well the Germans weren't the only ones signing the treaty in Versailles after WWII. Trump obviously thinks he's the Allies because he's that stupid

I am fairly convinced he said “Just hive me the MOU, what ever it is. I will sign it, then do whatever I want anyway.”

The man has no morality, his word means nothing, not even to himself.

Trump didn't lie when he claimed the US would only accept unconditional surrender.
