Well, in Dutch, there is a saying: “veel beloven en weinig geven, doet de zotten in vreugde leven”.
Which roughly translates to:
“making lots of promises and never delivering on any of them makes a happy fool”

This is a cartoon style painting. On the left, a smaller version of Donald Trump, wearing a red suit and top hat, diaper, and is standing on a platform of what looks like a well, with a cage covering the top. The well says "The Platform". Inside the well are multiple people. The smaller Trump has one hand on a dial that has the words "Fear, Hate, Lie, Bully, Brag", the dial is currently on "Hate". The small Trump is holding up a mirror showing Trump's face as he is looking down at the small Trump with a smile. The larger Trump is wearing a black suit, with his mouth wide open yelling and pointing with his right hand to a crowd of people on the right side of the image. The Trump figure has a "Trump-o-matic" logo on the chest.

Here is an alt-text description for the image:
The image is an artistic rendering of Donald Trump, with the head of Vladimir Putin above him, superimposed onto a classical painting. Trump is dressed in a dark suit and orange robe, holding a smartphone. He is looking up at Putin, who is nude and draped in a blue, white, and red cloth that resembles the Russian flag. The background is dark, and the name "KRASNOV" is written in white letters between the two figures.

A dark illustration of Donald Trump's face is set against a solid red background. The word "TRAITOR" is prominently displayed in white capital letters at the bottom of the image. Trump's face is rendered with heavy shading, emphasizing the wrinkles, and his mouth is slightly open, revealing some teeth. His hair is also darkly shaded, and his expression appears strained.

A digital painting shows former President Donald Trump sitting at a table with his hands clasped and his head bowed. He wears a navy blue suit and a red tie. Behind him, and around him, stand several historical dictators. To Trump's left are Kim Jong Un, Ayatollah Khomeini, Adolf Hitler, and Joseph Stalin. To his right are Vladimir Putin, Benito Mussolini, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, and an unidentified man in Saudi Arabian garb. The background includes a large, arched window, and American and Russian flags. On the table in front of Trump are a smartphone with a blue bird logo, a crumpled document, and several pills in small containers.

I believe the "unidentified man" on the right is supposed to be MBS.
Oh, and the image forgot Bashar al-Assad and his butcher daddy Hafez.
Trump let Gaddafi stay at his personal home during a UN visit.

in reply to micchiato 🎋 • • •If there's no country or countries to enforce this 'war crime' then it isn't one. Perhaps its time for the Security Council countries to no longer have veto power, and have an actually enforceable UN?
And at least in the USA, both (well, all 3) candidates were pro-israel and pro-genocide. Not like we had a choice on that front.
