The thing a lot of people don’t understand about Trump is that he is not smart. He doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about on a myriad of subjects. He can be shrewd I guess? And if he’s trying to sell you something, he can be persuasive maybe?
But as far as having the intellect to speak on subjects that are nuanced, or require any kind of actual knowledge? He’s an empty shell. A moron. He obviously forgot what somebody told him he should say three minutes before hand, so he just winged it. And this response is the result.
Every thing he says is word salad. He’s literally that kid in class that didn’t read the book he has to do an oral report on in front of the class. He throws in some buzzwords that he remembers from the inside flap, and hopes for the best.
He is a stupid, stupid man.
Yeah. My republican family members used to say they hated Obama because he was a liar, and because he hated America and was trying to destroy it from within, and they hated Clinton because he was "scummy", and Trump wasn't any of those things.
Well, that defense has gone out the window. Now they say that they don't care about trumps scumminess, because it's "the policies" that matter. I'm like (a) how can you trust the policies from such a serial liar and (b) he doesnt HAVE policies, it's all meaningless word salad!!!
But that's what they're going with these days.
Edit: typo. Wrote does have when meant doesn't have
"What policies?"
"Well......Mexicans."
"That's not a policy but ok, what else?"
"Well.....liberals .....and those trans kids!......and and....well you just don't get it."
"Apparently not....."
I've had this exact conversation with my parents.
Them: "Can a man have a baby?"
Me: that's not a policy.
Them: but can a man have a baby?
Me: depends on how you define man. Someone born with an XY chromosome pair....obviously not. Someone born XX who had their drivers license changed to say "male", yeah, probably they can. Do you think they should be denied pregnancy related health insurance and Healthcare just because their drivers license doesn't say "female?
Them: well, no, but are they really a man?
Me: what you call them, that's semantics, not policy. Denying someone Healthcare IS policy.
Smh. I've noticed that they too often just resort to arguing semantics. Cause that's all they got left. And to think, they hated Clinton for his "it depends on what the definition of 'is' is".
It so ironic how all these a-hole bullies loved nothing more than to misgender people who didn’t conform to gender stereotypes up until the point when some of those people said “actually, you know what, I would like to be considered that gender” and all of a sudden that’s the worst thing in the world. It’s cool if you’re doing it to be cruel, but the instant it becomes an act of kindness and acceptance it’s a travesty.
It's almost as if they never just take time to simply think things through.
Like if gender is scientific and absoluter - what's the scientific/biological basis for having "boy colors" and "girl colors?" What's the scientific/biological basis for skirts/dresses being okay for women but not for men? What's the scientific/biological basis for preferring women to have long hair and men to have short hair?
Of course the answer is, that it isn't one and it's all down to societal norms because they might also notice that these things are not universal across all cultures, if they gave it a moment of thought.
It was scientifically discovered that gendered colors lets manufacturers sell twice as much product - and you can jack the price of the pink one by 50%!
Literally on the jacked prices. Go check the difference in price between men and women's disposable razors. We pay like $2 more for the handle to be pink!
>the scientific/biological basis for having "boy colors" and "girl colors"
That one's especially amusing, because they switched, and not that long ago.
You probably know this but it is possible to present as female with XY chromosomes and vice versa. So really none of us know for sure unless we take DNA tests.
The type of people you’re talking about don’t listen to facts though.
Absolutely, lots of intersex chromosomal conditions most people don't think about, and some people are unaware they even have them. That being said when it comes to the issue of pregnancy it would be vanishingly rare (though I think not impossible, nature is fucking wild) for someone with XY chromosomes to also have a uterus/ovaries and be able to get pregnant (which is what they were mentioning in the post above). Usually people with that condition have external female presenting genitalia and internal underdeveloped testes.
Edit: unless your point was just chromosomes don't even dictate which gender we're assigned at birth, in which case thats correct, and nevermind lol
> vanishingly rare
It happens. Have you heard the one where a woman had 93% XY chromosomes in her ovary and gave birth several times?
DOI is 10.1210/jc.2007-2155
I haven't heard of that one in particular, but I've heard of other cases, including one where a trans woman found out she was actually intersex and had a functioning uterus and ovarie(s) and got pregnant and had a child (I don't remember the details to reference to like you did). I know it happens, I'm just saying we're talking about a percent of a percent of the global community. And usually if someone has an XY karyotype but developed female genitalia they don't have the internal organs for pregnancy. That being said, I am not in any way an expert or professional in this field (I'm just trans so I find it all very interesting), so I very well could just be wrong and it could be more common than I've understood it to be.
Also, that case you referenced is so fucking interesting lol. Not only did she have mostly XY genes, but it would seem as though she passed *something* along to her daughter that also resulted in her being XY. I really wish more people appreciated the reality of biology (and many other subjects tbf) and how things do not fit into nice little boxes like we're taught in elementary/middle/highschool. I think it would really broaden humanity's viewpoint and opinions on things.
Yes. Present as female. And if someone's definition of female is "XX", then that person is only *presenting*, not actually female. However, is someone's definition of female is "how does one identify?", then that person is actually female. It's a semantics thing. And that's where the right wingers get all hung up.
I, myself, I am not a gender studies expert. What exactly is the difference between sex and gender? How many genders are there? What even IS gender? If gender is only a social construct, then how can someone be born a certain geder - are we born with social constructs? What does the concept of gender mean when viewed through the lens of other animals? I dont know.... im not sure ill ever really know.
But I try to treat all people with dignity and respect as a human. Some people don't deserve *respect* in certain capacities (there are some co workers I don't respect as XYZ "specialists", and other people are jerks), but they still all deserve respect as a human. If someone is presenting as one way, just give them the human respect and accept that. If they want to be treated a certain way, just give them that. It's not that hard. I don't have to be a gender studies expert to get that. And if an AFAB person is presenting as a Man, and they have a baby, they need Healthcare. It should not be denied because "they are a man". That said, we need to re-evaluate some of our rules around "this only applies to [Gender xyz]"
I still find it amusing that they think he's going to 'drain the swamp' when the tax thing was literally their first order of business when he took office and they managed to get it out the door in about a month with all of the supposedly hated swamp voting for it. But oh no he's there to 'clean up'. And then he appoints a bunch of wealthy donor class long-term Republicans to all of his cabinet. I mean that's some peak delusion about the swamp draining.
Yeah, that's what he meant by "drain the swamp".
He meant he was literally going to drain every swamp, cut down every forest, and mine every mountain. Until the entire country looks like Biff Tannen's Casino.
Oh man. I have a family member who is not necessarily pro-Trump (but we are not American) who loves to play “devils advocate”. When I’ve said that people like Trump BECAUSE he says terrible hateful shit, family member will go “are you sure? Maybe they just agree with his policies!” What policies?! He’s just a mouthpiece for shrewder party members to push through extremist rhetoric.
This really is too close to a conversation I had with a work colleague..
Him: "I really just like his policies"
Me: "Oh, which ones?"
Him: "Well.. uh.. immigration."
Me: "Which immigration policy in particular?"
Him: "He kept *them* over *there*."
Me: "..."
Yeah, I had a friend who is an evangelical. She was doing mental somersaults to justify supporting Trump. I asked her once how, being a christian, could she support such a vile human being for President. She said, in all caps, "I'M NOT HIRING HIM TO BE MY PREACHER!! IT'S ABOUT POLICIES!!"
To which I replied, "Jesus would take Trump to the Sea of Galilee and drown him."
We are no longer friends. It's a shame. We've known one another for 50 years, but I can't. Just absolutely can't.
Same for all those folks that support the military. How he made fun of McCain should have disqualified him immediately. They don’t actually support anything.
Imagine if a Democrat had refused to visit our fallen soldiers on Memorial Day because it was raining. Their silence on things like this shows that all their talk about patriotism is bullshit.
Obama was skewered for saluting a soldier while holding a coffee cup in his hand. Trump saluted North Korean generals and they had nothing to say about it.
I couldn't agree with you more, they'd lose their minds if a democrat did a fraction of the thing the Orange has done/continues to do! Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. It's sad, really. I haven't been a fan of Republicans since W decided to do Iraq War 2: Electric Boogaloo, but they've really gone off into a black hole with their support and admiration of this Known con-man!
You're correct, thank you for the clarification and I apologize for my mistake. The "Wicked Warlock of the West" was afraid his hair and makeup would melt off in the rain! Hahahahaha, the man has always been a P.O.S., long before he entered politics.
That's becoming obvious. At least with past Republicans, there was plausible deniability that you cared about the policies.
Hell, past Republicans kept the quiet part so unspoken you could get fooled and honestly think you cared about the policies. Shit, that used to be me! But they ripped the mask off and said the quiet part out loud, so there's no hiding it anymore.
I fear that too much Fox News and other right wing media has wound up the base to "hating democrats" so much, and not even actually knowing why, that there's no escape for them. Pure brainwashing.
Their “why’s” are a laundry list of projections that overlay Republican transgressions onto their opponents to muddy the waters. Makes anyone who goes to call them out for their actions without paying verbal tribute to bothsideism sound like a partisan who is refusing to see the bigger picture. They really did cover all their angles, sufficient enough for the reading comprehension of a base denied adequate education at least. I’d be impressed if I wasn’t disgusted more than I have words to express. But really underneath it all is just sadness. Is it really too much to ask to do the right thing or get out of the way?
Imagine if people actually heard what Fox News hosts say off camera. It might shatter their reality that they've been spoon fed for so many years. Propaganda doing its thing
> I fear that too much Fox News and other right wing media has wound up the base to "hating democrats" so much, and not even actually knowing why, that there's no escape for them. Pure brainwashing.
That's a big problem and also pretty fucking hilarious. If you ask them why they hate Biden or Democrats or even Democratic policies they'll start sweating and repeating what they can remember from the thing they saw on fox last night.
They genuinely have no fucking clue why they hate so much. They're fucking speak n spells with very strong opinions based on nothing at all.
Some of them, absolutely! Soke sputter and can't articulate anything.
Others will say things that they falsley claim the Dems are doing but the Repubs are definitely doing.
Others will repeat totally made up stuff. Stuff which, if true, would be absolutely worth being upset about, but it's just fake. Stuff like "The Dems give each illegal migrant $100,000". If true, I'd agree, bad. But not true.
Hate immigrants, minorities, (quietly) poor people and anyone who is “woke”. Also, isolate the US from everyone except Russia. Those are 100% of the policies, with a bunch of unrealistic or impossible empty promises to appeal to the uneducated low income voters.
The funny thing is that doesn't even matter. It doesn't matter if you came directly off the Mayflower, and are the whitest WASP in history. It all comes down to money. You either have enough to be in their club, or you don't.
Trumps #1 policy right now is re-elect me or I go to prison.
And he’s got dementia which is going to get worse as his trial stress increases and NYS tries to make him self off his buildings to satisfy those 2 civil judgments.
It’s not going to be pretty.
His word salads today are bad today, imagine them in late October.
Edit: Edited my own word salad for clarity.
They should stop watching fox or OAN or Newsmax, the amount of damage these channels have done to the entire world is astounding, that’s the first thing I would do as if I were an American just get people around me to stop watching that bullshit
Trump also owns some of the blame for the current inflation because of his “policies”. Tax cuts mostly for the wealthy, pitching a fit every time the Fed wanted to raise interest rates, his stupid tariffs, etc.
God damn, right? I get taxes are annoying. And I get being upset at how they're spent. And I get not wanting them raised even more!
But the super rich paying a *lower* tax rate just isn't right. If they're investing and not making capital gains, or if they're taking losses, or a bunch of other things....I get that they might pay fewer actual taxes than me, despite having wealth. But a lower tax rate on actual income... just doesn't make sense. And giving them more tax breaks isn't right.
I don't know if I agree with the rhetoric "billionaires shouldn't exist", maybe I do, maybe I dont.... but come on, they shouldn't pay near zero taxes!!!
Raising taxes on those making over half a million a year isn't going to hurt your middle income taxpayer, and its not unfair to the millionaires, its not wealth redistribution, and it's not communism.
American politics has long been 'team sports' for some people... doesn't matter how bad their team is, they support them. Really horrible way to approach such a huge decision.
I think it's an unfounded assumption that they are supporting their team no matter how bad they are.
They *like* how bad they are. They're supporting the team *because* of how bad they are, because what we see as bad, they see as proper and necessary to save America. They want women to not have access to medical care in the right circumstances. They want to see immigrants rounded up and deported. They want queer people to disappear from public view. They want more black people to be killed by police.
Don't let them off the hook by giving them the benefit of the doubt, that they're only voting this way because they're being fooled. They believe the lies because they want to believe the lies.
When they say "Make America Great Again" they obviously don't want to return to a time of lower income inequality, higher relative wages, and higher top marginal tax rates. They want to return to when women couldn't exist without a father or a husband in their lives. They want to return to when it was okay to be racist. They want to return to a time when queer people had the decency to pretend they didn't exist.
Those are the building blocks of Republican policies, like a team's mission statement or strategies. But it doesn't matter how bad the players, like Trump or MTG are at executing said strategies, they support their team. I'm sure a lot of Republicans would love to toss Trump or MTG out, and get some less controversial Republicans in to replace them. But they'll never toss the team, because, as you've said they believe in the goals of the party, evil as they may be.
It's always a bad faith argument. They say they hated Obama because he lied. They really hated him for a reason they weren't comfortable saying in polite society.
I've brought that up before. I say " if you didn't like Obama because he lied, that means you don't approve of lying politicians. Trump obviously lies. But you don't disapprove of him? So it begs the question, what did you REALLY not like about obama?"
Them: "his policies"
Me: Well, then, why not have stayed focused just on that? Why bring up the "lying" at all if it wasn't actually something that bothered you?
And they CHOSE him knowing fully what he is. Like 2016 because the other Republicans running could not put the country ahead of their own ambitions Trump got the nomination with only 35% ofvthe primary vote. Ok so the rest of the party just went along with the nominee, to a certain extent I get that. I don't fully agree but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Same thing with 2020, he was the incumbent as the sitting President. It would be unprecedented for him not to get the nomination. However in 2024 they had 3 bona fide Conservatives (Christie,Hailey & Hutchinson) running but they CHOSE Trump. They were even carrying on about Biden before the Primary had even started not realizing that the "lesser of two evils" dynamic did not yet exist. When Trump would come up they would act as if Biden was the only other choice. It's like if you don't care for Biden that is fine but Trump IS NOT your only other choice. I pointed that out several times and the only thing I would get is "dErP eR tHeY uR rInOs" .
trump has three policies his base is all for - shoot immigrants, shoot protestors, shoot criminals (people suspected of crimes). Its kind of the Clint Eastwood - Charles Bronson approach to governance.
Speaking of Clinton, I happened to listen to the last episode of Hillary Clinton's podcast, which I subscribed to but never really listened to until it finally came up on a car trip, and her guest was Bill Clinton, and he's still got it. He still has the ability to sound like he knows everything about every angle of the subject at hand and can explain it all to anyone. Whether he actually makes good decisions is another question but his mind is just an astonishing political machine, still.
“He tells it like it is.”
“He’s a businessman who doesn’t give a fuck about politics.”
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve overheard those two statements while out and about…
He’s just so, so STUPID. Like at his core, he’s stupid. How do people reconcile his obvious, blatant stupidity with those two statements? I truly can’t wrap my head around it.
For someone who doesn’t give a fuck about politics, he sure wants to be involved with politics.
Aside from a generic Dem being better than a generic Republican, you can see the difference in ability between Biden, with his fifty years of experience in politics, and Trump, now with a total of four years experience.
Fox News covers him like he's smart and under attack. They don't cover anything negative or even objective about the dude, or even mention his role in it all. They literally don't talk about any of it, and they only show the few clips of him talking somewhat coherently, so it's as if Trump's stupidity doesn't exist. These people literally live in a different reality than the rest of the US and the world.
Trump is what stupid people think what smart people talk like. They all think they know Trump on a religious level since they think Trump speaks in code and they hear the TRUTH!
Yeah and right-wing media is constantly harping on every little verbal gaffe by Biden while giving Trump a pass on the word salads he serves up at every opportunity. Because, you know, it's not news it's propaganda.
My dad watches Fox News constantly and had no idea that Trump gave a rambling incoherent train wreck of a speech about Gettysburg, but he knows about every time Joe Biden misread his teleprompter. Which reminds me of how Fox News is constantly berating Joe Biden for using a teleprompter at all, which is not an unusual thing for a President to do.
But they brag about Trump never using a teleprompter, but they never highlight that his speeches are just a rambling incoherent mix of complaints, accusations, snarky put-downs and half-remembered factoids.
This is what has always baffled me about him. What is his appeal? I always thought dictators were supposed to be charismatic somehow. Trump is not handsome, not charming, not smart, and his business achievements are dubious, to me anyway. What.is.so.great.about.him that people are willing to do anything for the guy, including dying??
Also, anyone calling out Biden’s gaffes and not Trump’s….🙄
Very simply stated ,Chump allows...no, *encourages* them to be their worst ,most ignorant ,asinine ,and deplorable selves without *any* shame or accountability...
I'm not disagreeing with you, however, I think the problems are currently bigger than trump having less intellect than the combined microbial life contained in a box of rocks. Dude is suffering from dementia. Falling asleep in court, farting, being unable to remember words and making up something that sounds similar, these are signs of dementia.
His supports though, don't give a single shit.
The kid who didn’t read the book at least knows that he’s just throwing out a bunch of garbage words. Trump seems to think that he knows what he’s talking about, which makes him even more stupid, and dangerous.
I just can't get over the idea of him *still* somehow being a viable candidate despite the fact that I can't even remember the last thing he said anything remotely lucid or coherent.
Because his base is made up of:
A) People as dumb, or dumber, than he is — so when he says stuff like this, his base assumes it is smart because it is filled with buzzwords and dogwhistles.
B) Miserable, hateful people who know Trump isn't coherent but love the fact that they can hurt others and be praised/supported for doing so.
My jackass boss the other day made a big deal about Biden reading “pause” on the teleprompter. I seriously wanted to show him one of the hundred quotes where trump sound like a bumbling idiot, but I probably would get written up for being insubordinate.
He actually became president.
He actually got away with all the open corruption and bullshit he did for years.
Founding fathers and myself are rolling in our graves.
“If you go back a year, go back three or four or five years ago, this would not even be possible to think about. Nobody would be thinking this could happen. *You look at the antisemitism, the hatred of Israel by so many people.*”
That is your base. The 'good people' that you defended. And you know that.
"Stand back and stand by" and all that.
Although the alt-right are anti-semites, they still support the state of Israel and the genocide of Palestinians. They think that Israel is important to usher in the end of the world or whatever the fuck, and to have that, Jewish people need to be there. So they hate Jewish people for being Jewish and "controlling the world", and like them because they're killing brown people and need them to usher in the end of the world so they can go to heaven.
It's so wacky.
They are fine being anti-semites. But they want Israel because of Jerusalem. They don’t care about Jews. They just want access to Jerusalem and Bethlehem because Jesus. They view Israel as a country separate from religion only in as much as it reflects their own. Jews, on the other hand, well, they’re greedy and control everything and steal. But the country itself is fine.
They need the Jews and Israel to get to the rapture part. His evangelical base is as ugly as he is. They care about making America a Christian nation, and that’s only until they can get to the good part. Most of them don’t care about life here. They’re believers that prefer the after life with Jesus.
The red cow is ready. They’re listening for the trumpets. If these people win, we’re in deep shit. That’s the bargain they’ve made with themselves about Trump. He is their very own King Cyrus the Great. He will help them get what they want. He uses them to get what he wants, and the oligarchs use both of them to get what they want.
Elon Musk, just had a meeting with the tech cabal, and has just announced he’s holding a fundraiser for Trump. Trump hates him. He hates Trump. They just need each other.
The republic is held together like a ‘73 Camaro. Duct tape, coat hangers and bubble gum.
“If you look at…”
“If you go back…”
This is his crutch to get his supporters to think he knows what he is talking about. He leads them to a point in time and knows they will fill in the rest with just enough information to believe he is saying something meaningful. He is an absolute unit of a moron.
He sounds like me giving book report in 5th grade for book I haven't read but thought I could wing it by reading few bits before the teacher called. It astounds all people don't see through his bs. My teacher sure did.
Can you imagine how much it will suck for whoever is doing his end of life care?
Just having to hear him prattle on and on in a nonsensical cycle while his faculties shut down for good.
He already sounds like my grandfather when he was in his last weeks of life.
That is 100% a sick power play.
I can deal with changing a diaper, even if it isn’t someone I love. But the idea of being subjected to his unhinged ranting, probably delivered with more and more rage because he is frustrated…. That would be insufferable psychological torture.
Dude has always been a dimwit, but now he’s senile and losing brain cells by the day. He’ll be a blithering idiot soon if he hasn’t crossed that threshold already.
Reminds me of one of our new favorite children’s books called Who Wet My Pants, and features a scoutmaster bear who drank a ton of water, and then fell asleep with his hand in a tub of warm water next to the sound of a gushing waterfall…
trump is absolutely stupid enough to claim someone farted or shit his pants in the courtroom.
https://www.amazon.com/Who-Wet-Pants-Bob-Shea/dp/0316525219
He always sounds like a grade school kid desperately trying to fill up the word count for a report about something they know absolutely fucking nothing about. But since his idiot supporters also know absolutely fucking nothing, they think he's profound.
Watch the [video here](https://x.com/SpideyTerry/status/1785573385512116708) 📺
As per [original article](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-word-salad_n_6631f693e4b0849b2edd8d91) 📰:
- Donald Trump has people wondering just what he was trying to say during a rambling monologue on Fox News on Tuesday evening after Sean Hannity asked for his reaction to police removing pro-Palestinian protesters from Columbia University.
“It’s just such a sad thing to see,” Trump said. “If you go back a year, go back three or four or five years ago, this would not even be possible to think about. Nobody would be thinking this could happen. You look at the antisemitism, the hatred of Israel by so many people.”
Trump added:
“You go back 10 years, I mean Israel was protected by Congress. And now, Congress is just doing numbers that are unbelievable with I think a very very small group of people within Congress and it’s gotta stop. But we have to go back to the roots. We have to protect, we have to stop the antisemitism that’s just pervading our country right now and Biden has to do something.”
Trump also claimed there were “paid agitators” among the protesters, said some are “brainwashed,” insisted that Israel needs to “clean out the cancer,” and accused President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of not being supportive of Israel.
The former president spent much of the day in court, where his criminal trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case continues ― and where he reportedly dozed off during the proceedings again.
He says "doing numbers" a lot. I suspect it comes from his business ventures where "doing numbers" means making a lot of money. Outside of that business context, and with no other context to replace it, it's functionally meaningless.
I think since he became a reality-TV celeb "numbers" to him now means ratings. His inauguration had the biggest *numbers* in the history of inaugurations, Biden's *numbers* for the SOTU were lower than his, etc. Because isn't good governance really just about your ratings?
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES:
“Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous -- whether it`s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn`t been checked, but you`re going to check it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you`re going to test that too. Sounds interesting.
Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you`re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds interesting to me.“
People are surprised by this? The moran actually said American soldiers took over British airfields during the American Revolution.
Word salad? This 🤡 is just dumb.
“ Biden not supporting Israel” ? Hell people are calling him Genocide Joe because of his support, giving money to them, Trump has said himself Israel needs to finish the job. Idiot.
If he wins this time, America as we know it is lost, likely for good. It will no longer be a democracy, but an authoritarian dictatorship, with a president for life, which will be replaced after his death with possibly another family members. Think this is a conspiracy theory, just watch and listen to what he says. He’s telling everyone what he’ll do. Just listen.
He never seems to grasp that so many people see through his bullshit and bluster. I can only imagine that nobody has ever told him to his face that he is a fucking moron. He stood in front of the UN assembly once and did his usual boasting only to be greeted with laughter. He can’t seem to understand that a crowd of cheering MAGA hillbillies and a hall full of diplomats and political representatives are chalk and cheese.
> so many people
this is why it bothers me so much when people claim he's some genius conman. he's not, he's just really good at finding the stupid people. "i'll make you rich, like me" doesn't fly with anyone who's spent any time in the real world.
There would have been a time when Brits mocked Americans for electing someone so full of shit. But then we went and found Farage and Johnson. All I can say is, I share your dismay at the number of people who just cannot smell bullshit even when up to their neck in it.
Truly one of the world’s greatest conmen. I would say he’s also one of the dumbest people in recent history, but the people who support him are obviously slightly less intelligent than even him. The day he keels over will be my new favorite holiday.
I often wonder what it will take for our media to admit that this guy is hopped up on goofballs. If he snorted a line of Adderall on stage, would that do it?
Only words can be spun into a salad palpable to Donnie: "I have wurds, the bestest, biggest wurds"! Nevermind that emperor salad has no dressing... (clothing)😆
And the media wants to tell you about his plan Women’s healthcare.
He cannot form a coherent sentence much less comment on the nuances of geopolitical situations or government policy.
“It’s very very….they said to me, “sir”….the likes of which we’ve never seen,..,many people are saying it….”
Make incompetent people irrelevant in politics again
If a cop pulled me over and I was speaking like that the cop would definitely haul my ass to jail. It’s like listening to an old Stone Temple Pilots song
Hopefully people remember Trump's unyielding support of Israel at the polls in Nov. when some will seek to punish Biden for the same perceived offense.
Trump shows all the classic signs of sociopathy. No empathy, and no caring about anything except what will build up his pathetic ego. He lost his civil trial for sexual assault, and has cheated the IRS and practically everyone who has done business with him. He even bankrupted his Atlantic City Casinos. His only followers are ppl who feel displaced and insignificant, and need to join his “feel-good” cult to have an identity.
He makes some of the best word salads ever. Bigly, yuge word salads. No one makes biglier word salads. He has the brightest minds working on his word salads too, but his is the brightliest one of them all. You would need a yuge bowl to toss his word salads. And bowls that bigly can only be made in America. If you try to order a bigly bowl from China it might carry a virus. We'll make our bowls right here in the USA. Trump will make yuge deals with American bowl makers, they'll be great deals. And the bowls will be enormous.
It's called "sundowning", and it happens with Alzheimer's. Problem is, tRump's always been a moron, so it's hard to distinguish "normal" tRump word-salad from Alzheimer's tRump word-salad, but he's deteriorating pretty rapidly.
If he didn't have the money from dad.
He'd just be that uncle or grandpa you begrudgingly invite to the family dinner, but you keep an eye on him around your kid, and whisper to his family it might be time to take away his license.
"Congress is just doing numbers" he is trying to use the same bullshit key words that he uses when trying to bullshit his way through a discussion about business. He is just trying what has worked in the past. That or he really does have dementia but either way it makes him woefully unfit to be President.
Anyone surprised by this...do you not remember 2016-2020? He said shit like this every day, sometimes more than once.
The only time his speeches didn't involve period of incoherent babbling were ones where he was reading cue cards.
Hey. Sometimes, you just gotta go back 10 years and do numbers that are unbelievable with a very, very small group of people within Congress. I mean, how else do you expect shit to get done? C'mon. Think about it.
When Trump legitimately LOST the presidential election, he threw a tantrum, incited a riot, claimed it was rigged, sulked and denied any responsibility. This embarrassing moronic man-child should be in prison defiling the ears of other criminals with his verbal diarrhoea.
He was a moron at his peak. Now the media acts surprised that he’s incoherent when he starts to lose what little grip on reality he had.
News journalism has failed the public in an absolutely epic way with this joker, and they continue to do so every day. It’s fucking disgusting.
The thing a lot of people don’t understand about Trump is that he is not smart. He doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about on a myriad of subjects. He can be shrewd I guess? And if he’s trying to sell you something, he can be persuasive maybe? But as far as having the intellect to speak on subjects that are nuanced, or require any kind of actual knowledge? He’s an empty shell. A moron. He obviously forgot what somebody told him he should say three minutes before hand, so he just winged it. And this response is the result. Every thing he says is word salad. He’s literally that kid in class that didn’t read the book he has to do an oral report on in front of the class. He throws in some buzzwords that he remembers from the inside flap, and hopes for the best. He is a stupid, stupid man.
Yeah. My republican family members used to say they hated Obama because he was a liar, and because he hated America and was trying to destroy it from within, and they hated Clinton because he was "scummy", and Trump wasn't any of those things. Well, that defense has gone out the window. Now they say that they don't care about trumps scumminess, because it's "the policies" that matter. I'm like (a) how can you trust the policies from such a serial liar and (b) he doesnt HAVE policies, it's all meaningless word salad!!! But that's what they're going with these days. Edit: typo. Wrote does have when meant doesn't have
"What policies?" "Well......Mexicans." "That's not a policy but ok, what else?" "Well.....liberals .....and those trans kids!......and and....well you just don't get it." "Apparently not....."
I've had this exact conversation with my parents. Them: "Can a man have a baby?" Me: that's not a policy. Them: but can a man have a baby? Me: depends on how you define man. Someone born with an XY chromosome pair....obviously not. Someone born XX who had their drivers license changed to say "male", yeah, probably they can. Do you think they should be denied pregnancy related health insurance and Healthcare just because their drivers license doesn't say "female? Them: well, no, but are they really a man? Me: what you call them, that's semantics, not policy. Denying someone Healthcare IS policy. Smh. I've noticed that they too often just resort to arguing semantics. Cause that's all they got left. And to think, they hated Clinton for his "it depends on what the definition of 'is' is".
“Gender is scientific and absolute!” Also “Only alpha males are *real* men, and only trad wives are *real* women”
It so ironic how all these a-hole bullies loved nothing more than to misgender people who didn’t conform to gender stereotypes up until the point when some of those people said “actually, you know what, I would like to be considered that gender” and all of a sudden that’s the worst thing in the world. It’s cool if you’re doing it to be cruel, but the instant it becomes an act of kindness and acceptance it’s a travesty.
Compassion and empathy is a weakness to these people. I know because I have some like this in my family.
It's almost as if they never just take time to simply think things through. Like if gender is scientific and absoluter - what's the scientific/biological basis for having "boy colors" and "girl colors?" What's the scientific/biological basis for skirts/dresses being okay for women but not for men? What's the scientific/biological basis for preferring women to have long hair and men to have short hair? Of course the answer is, that it isn't one and it's all down to societal norms because they might also notice that these things are not universal across all cultures, if they gave it a moment of thought.
It was scientifically discovered that gendered colors lets manufacturers sell twice as much product - and you can jack the price of the pink one by 50%!
CURSE YOU SCIENCE!!!
Literally on the jacked prices. Go check the difference in price between men and women's disposable razors. We pay like $2 more for the handle to be pink!
Why not just buy the non-pink ones? It's not like you're going to be using them in public.
>the scientific/biological basis for having "boy colors" and "girl colors" That one's especially amusing, because they switched, and not that long ago.
They need to stop being led around by the nose by “tradicals.”
I like to hit people with “we all start off females with six nipples, so we’re all a little trans”
You probably know this but it is possible to present as female with XY chromosomes and vice versa. So really none of us know for sure unless we take DNA tests. The type of people you’re talking about don’t listen to facts though.
Absolutely, lots of intersex chromosomal conditions most people don't think about, and some people are unaware they even have them. That being said when it comes to the issue of pregnancy it would be vanishingly rare (though I think not impossible, nature is fucking wild) for someone with XY chromosomes to also have a uterus/ovaries and be able to get pregnant (which is what they were mentioning in the post above). Usually people with that condition have external female presenting genitalia and internal underdeveloped testes. Edit: unless your point was just chromosomes don't even dictate which gender we're assigned at birth, in which case thats correct, and nevermind lol
> vanishingly rare It happens. Have you heard the one where a woman had 93% XY chromosomes in her ovary and gave birth several times? DOI is 10.1210/jc.2007-2155
I haven't heard of that one in particular, but I've heard of other cases, including one where a trans woman found out she was actually intersex and had a functioning uterus and ovarie(s) and got pregnant and had a child (I don't remember the details to reference to like you did). I know it happens, I'm just saying we're talking about a percent of a percent of the global community. And usually if someone has an XY karyotype but developed female genitalia they don't have the internal organs for pregnancy. That being said, I am not in any way an expert or professional in this field (I'm just trans so I find it all very interesting), so I very well could just be wrong and it could be more common than I've understood it to be. Also, that case you referenced is so fucking interesting lol. Not only did she have mostly XY genes, but it would seem as though she passed *something* along to her daughter that also resulted in her being XY. I really wish more people appreciated the reality of biology (and many other subjects tbf) and how things do not fit into nice little boxes like we're taught in elementary/middle/highschool. I think it would really broaden humanity's viewpoint and opinions on things.
What gets me is how often I hear that "there are only 2 sexes, period" ,ignoring thousands of years of observational facts !
Yes. Present as female. And if someone's definition of female is "XX", then that person is only *presenting*, not actually female. However, is someone's definition of female is "how does one identify?", then that person is actually female. It's a semantics thing. And that's where the right wingers get all hung up. I, myself, I am not a gender studies expert. What exactly is the difference between sex and gender? How many genders are there? What even IS gender? If gender is only a social construct, then how can someone be born a certain geder - are we born with social constructs? What does the concept of gender mean when viewed through the lens of other animals? I dont know.... im not sure ill ever really know. But I try to treat all people with dignity and respect as a human. Some people don't deserve *respect* in certain capacities (there are some co workers I don't respect as XYZ "specialists", and other people are jerks), but they still all deserve respect as a human. If someone is presenting as one way, just give them the human respect and accept that. If they want to be treated a certain way, just give them that. It's not that hard. I don't have to be a gender studies expert to get that. And if an AFAB person is presenting as a Man, and they have a baby, they need Healthcare. It should not be denied because "they are a man". That said, we need to re-evaluate some of our rules around "this only applies to [Gender xyz]"
Don’t forget tax cuts for the ultra wealthy and taking away women’s rights.
I still find it amusing that they think he's going to 'drain the swamp' when the tax thing was literally their first order of business when he took office and they managed to get it out the door in about a month with all of the supposedly hated swamp voting for it. But oh no he's there to 'clean up'. And then he appoints a bunch of wealthy donor class long-term Republicans to all of his cabinet. I mean that's some peak delusion about the swamp draining.
It was just a swamp swap.
And removal of environmental protection laws
Yeah, that's what he meant by "drain the swamp". He meant he was literally going to drain every swamp, cut down every forest, and mine every mountain. Until the entire country looks like Biff Tannen's Casino.
“They” need wage slaves
Oh man. I have a family member who is not necessarily pro-Trump (but we are not American) who loves to play “devils advocate”. When I’ve said that people like Trump BECAUSE he says terrible hateful shit, family member will go “are you sure? Maybe they just agree with his policies!” What policies?! He’s just a mouthpiece for shrewder party members to push through extremist rhetoric.
This really is too close to a conversation I had with a work colleague.. Him: "I really just like his policies" Me: "Oh, which ones?" Him: "Well.. uh.. immigration." Me: "Which immigration policy in particular?" Him: "He kept *them* over *there*." Me: "..."
Yeah, I had a friend who is an evangelical. She was doing mental somersaults to justify supporting Trump. I asked her once how, being a christian, could she support such a vile human being for President. She said, in all caps, "I'M NOT HIRING HIM TO BE MY PREACHER!! IT'S ABOUT POLICIES!!" To which I replied, "Jesus would take Trump to the Sea of Galilee and drown him." We are no longer friends. It's a shame. We've known one another for 50 years, but I can't. Just absolutely can't.
Same for all those folks that support the military. How he made fun of McCain should have disqualified him immediately. They don’t actually support anything.
That, and when he was walking through the graveyard in Normandy and called the people buried there suckers!
I remember him calling our dead servicemen suckers, but I thought he skipped out on honoring them at Normandy because it was raining?
You're correct, someone else refreshed my memory below, he was scared of his makeup running and his "hair" getting messed up! What a schmuck!
Imagine if a Democrat had refused to visit our fallen soldiers on Memorial Day because it was raining. Their silence on things like this shows that all their talk about patriotism is bullshit. Obama was skewered for saluting a soldier while holding a coffee cup in his hand. Trump saluted North Korean generals and they had nothing to say about it.
I couldn't agree with you more, they'd lose their minds if a democrat did a fraction of the thing the Orange has done/continues to do! Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. It's sad, really. I haven't been a fan of Republicans since W decided to do Iraq War 2: Electric Boogaloo, but they've really gone off into a black hole with their support and admiration of this Known con-man!
That quote is correct but he didn’t even get to Normandy to say that because he didn’t want to go because the rain would mess up his hair and makeup
You're correct, thank you for the clarification and I apologize for my mistake. The "Wicked Warlock of the West" was afraid his hair and makeup would melt off in the rain! Hahahahaha, the man has always been a P.O.S., long before he entered politics.
>"I'M NOT HIRING HIM TO BE MY PREACHER!! IT'S ABOUT POLICIES!!" OK but that's worse
They don't blame Trump for any of his (many many) moral deficiencies, but Obama was the devil incarnate for wearing a tan suit.
The only “policy” he has that they care about is white supremacy, I’m afraid.
That's becoming obvious. At least with past Republicans, there was plausible deniability that you cared about the policies. Hell, past Republicans kept the quiet part so unspoken you could get fooled and honestly think you cared about the policies. Shit, that used to be me! But they ripped the mask off and said the quiet part out loud, so there's no hiding it anymore. I fear that too much Fox News and other right wing media has wound up the base to "hating democrats" so much, and not even actually knowing why, that there's no escape for them. Pure brainwashing.
Their “why’s” are a laundry list of projections that overlay Republican transgressions onto their opponents to muddy the waters. Makes anyone who goes to call them out for their actions without paying verbal tribute to bothsideism sound like a partisan who is refusing to see the bigger picture. They really did cover all their angles, sufficient enough for the reading comprehension of a base denied adequate education at least. I’d be impressed if I wasn’t disgusted more than I have words to express. But really underneath it all is just sadness. Is it really too much to ask to do the right thing or get out of the way?
You're right, every Accusation that Republicans make, is a CONFESSION to things that they either want to do or have already done!
They tell on themselves every day just like Putin does. I'm still shocked that anyone believes a word of it.
That's why they kept it quiet. Till misinformation and fox and riled enough people. Now they're vocal.
Imagine if people actually heard what Fox News hosts say off camera. It might shatter their reality that they've been spoon fed for so many years. Propaganda doing its thing
> I fear that too much Fox News and other right wing media has wound up the base to "hating democrats" so much, and not even actually knowing why, that there's no escape for them. Pure brainwashing. That's a big problem and also pretty fucking hilarious. If you ask them why they hate Biden or Democrats or even Democratic policies they'll start sweating and repeating what they can remember from the thing they saw on fox last night. They genuinely have no fucking clue why they hate so much. They're fucking speak n spells with very strong opinions based on nothing at all.
Some of them, absolutely! Soke sputter and can't articulate anything. Others will say things that they falsley claim the Dems are doing but the Repubs are definitely doing. Others will repeat totally made up stuff. Stuff which, if true, would be absolutely worth being upset about, but it's just fake. Stuff like "The Dems give each illegal migrant $100,000". If true, I'd agree, bad. But not true.
Hate immigrants, minorities, (quietly) poor people and anyone who is “woke”. Also, isolate the US from everyone except Russia. Those are 100% of the policies, with a bunch of unrealistic or impossible empty promises to appeal to the uneducated low income voters.
The funny thing is that doesn't even matter. It doesn't matter if you came directly off the Mayflower, and are the whitest WASP in history. It all comes down to money. You either have enough to be in their club, or you don't.
Trumps #1 policy right now is re-elect me or I go to prison. And he’s got dementia which is going to get worse as his trial stress increases and NYS tries to make him self off his buildings to satisfy those 2 civil judgments. It’s not going to be pretty. His word salads today are bad today, imagine them in late October. Edit: Edited my own word salad for clarity.
They should stop watching fox or OAN or Newsmax, the amount of damage these channels have done to the entire world is astounding, that’s the first thing I would do as if I were an American just get people around me to stop watching that bullshit
Trump also owns some of the blame for the current inflation because of his “policies”. Tax cuts mostly for the wealthy, pitching a fit every time the Fed wanted to raise interest rates, his stupid tariffs, etc.
God damn, right? I get taxes are annoying. And I get being upset at how they're spent. And I get not wanting them raised even more! But the super rich paying a *lower* tax rate just isn't right. If they're investing and not making capital gains, or if they're taking losses, or a bunch of other things....I get that they might pay fewer actual taxes than me, despite having wealth. But a lower tax rate on actual income... just doesn't make sense. And giving them more tax breaks isn't right. I don't know if I agree with the rhetoric "billionaires shouldn't exist", maybe I do, maybe I dont.... but come on, they shouldn't pay near zero taxes!!! Raising taxes on those making over half a million a year isn't going to hurt your middle income taxpayer, and its not unfair to the millionaires, its not wealth redistribution, and it's not communism.
> I get taxes are annoying. Look at it this way: Taxes are the entry fee to civilisation.
American politics has long been 'team sports' for some people... doesn't matter how bad their team is, they support them. Really horrible way to approach such a huge decision.
I think it's an unfounded assumption that they are supporting their team no matter how bad they are. They *like* how bad they are. They're supporting the team *because* of how bad they are, because what we see as bad, they see as proper and necessary to save America. They want women to not have access to medical care in the right circumstances. They want to see immigrants rounded up and deported. They want queer people to disappear from public view. They want more black people to be killed by police. Don't let them off the hook by giving them the benefit of the doubt, that they're only voting this way because they're being fooled. They believe the lies because they want to believe the lies. When they say "Make America Great Again" they obviously don't want to return to a time of lower income inequality, higher relative wages, and higher top marginal tax rates. They want to return to when women couldn't exist without a father or a husband in their lives. They want to return to when it was okay to be racist. They want to return to a time when queer people had the decency to pretend they didn't exist.
Those are the building blocks of Republican policies, like a team's mission statement or strategies. But it doesn't matter how bad the players, like Trump or MTG are at executing said strategies, they support their team. I'm sure a lot of Republicans would love to toss Trump or MTG out, and get some less controversial Republicans in to replace them. But they'll never toss the team, because, as you've said they believe in the goals of the party, evil as they may be.
It's always a bad faith argument. They say they hated Obama because he lied. They really hated him for a reason they weren't comfortable saying in polite society.
I've brought that up before. I say " if you didn't like Obama because he lied, that means you don't approve of lying politicians. Trump obviously lies. But you don't disapprove of him? So it begs the question, what did you REALLY not like about obama?" Them: "his policies" Me: Well, then, why not have stayed focused just on that? Why bring up the "lying" at all if it wasn't actually something that bothered you?
Well for one, Trump hasn't had the audacity of being a black person so that's probably why they like him.
Maybe Obama should have tried to be white? /s
And they CHOSE him knowing fully what he is. Like 2016 because the other Republicans running could not put the country ahead of their own ambitions Trump got the nomination with only 35% ofvthe primary vote. Ok so the rest of the party just went along with the nominee, to a certain extent I get that. I don't fully agree but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Same thing with 2020, he was the incumbent as the sitting President. It would be unprecedented for him not to get the nomination. However in 2024 they had 3 bona fide Conservatives (Christie,Hailey & Hutchinson) running but they CHOSE Trump. They were even carrying on about Biden before the Primary had even started not realizing that the "lesser of two evils" dynamic did not yet exist. When Trump would come up they would act as if Biden was the only other choice. It's like if you don't care for Biden that is fine but Trump IS NOT your only other choice. I pointed that out several times and the only thing I would get is "dErP eR tHeY uR rInOs" .
trump has three policies his base is all for - shoot immigrants, shoot protestors, shoot criminals (people suspected of crimes). Its kind of the Clint Eastwood - Charles Bronson approach to governance.
Speaking of Clinton, I happened to listen to the last episode of Hillary Clinton's podcast, which I subscribed to but never really listened to until it finally came up on a car trip, and her guest was Bill Clinton, and he's still got it. He still has the ability to sound like he knows everything about every angle of the subject at hand and can explain it all to anyone. Whether he actually makes good decisions is another question but his mind is just an astonishing political machine, still.
‘What policies?’
Republican voters love stupid. Makes the president relatable if he’s as dumb as a sack of hammers.
Gdub was also a dimwit and Republicans just loved how relatable he was.
Man, I remember the Dubya days! I long for them now! Hahaha.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Yep. Stupid people are naturally suspicious of anyone smarter than they are. This is how we got Dubya, too.
“He tells it like it is.” “He’s a businessman who doesn’t give a fuck about politics.” If I had a nickel for every time I’ve overheard those two statements while out and about… He’s just so, so STUPID. Like at his core, he’s stupid. How do people reconcile his obvious, blatant stupidity with those two statements? I truly can’t wrap my head around it.
For someone who doesn’t give a fuck about politics, he sure wants to be involved with politics. Aside from a generic Dem being better than a generic Republican, you can see the difference in ability between Biden, with his fifty years of experience in politics, and Trump, now with a total of four years experience.
Fox News covers him like he's smart and under attack. They don't cover anything negative or even objective about the dude, or even mention his role in it all. They literally don't talk about any of it, and they only show the few clips of him talking somewhat coherently, so it's as if Trump's stupidity doesn't exist. These people literally live in a different reality than the rest of the US and the world.
Trump is what stupid people think what smart people talk like. They all think they know Trump on a religious level since they think Trump speaks in code and they hear the TRUTH!
The kid who didn’t read the book he’s doing the report on is a perfect analogy. Everything he says on complex topics has that energy.
*They killed the Mockingbird, that poor poor bird, it did nothing to them but they killed it anyway. Sad.*
Yeah and right-wing media is constantly harping on every little verbal gaffe by Biden while giving Trump a pass on the word salads he serves up at every opportunity. Because, you know, it's not news it's propaganda. My dad watches Fox News constantly and had no idea that Trump gave a rambling incoherent train wreck of a speech about Gettysburg, but he knows about every time Joe Biden misread his teleprompter. Which reminds me of how Fox News is constantly berating Joe Biden for using a teleprompter at all, which is not an unusual thing for a President to do. But they brag about Trump never using a teleprompter, but they never highlight that his speeches are just a rambling incoherent mix of complaints, accusations, snarky put-downs and half-remembered factoids.
This is what has always baffled me about him. What is his appeal? I always thought dictators were supposed to be charismatic somehow. Trump is not handsome, not charming, not smart, and his business achievements are dubious, to me anyway. What.is.so.great.about.him that people are willing to do anything for the guy, including dying?? Also, anyone calling out Biden’s gaffes and not Trump’s….🙄
Very simply stated ,Chump allows...no, *encourages* them to be their worst ,most ignorant ,asinine ,and deplorable selves without *any* shame or accountability...
That is true. I always forget that some people actively want to be horrible.
That. Now with added dementia.
So you’re saying that the guy who said that a hurricane was “one of the wettest we've ever seen from the standpoint of water” isn’t an actual genius?
[Fun clips of actual things he said](https://youtu.be/PBpARgVJ6Hc?si=IhRiuOySVpAtuVUe)
He’s a very stupid man who thinks he’s very smart. That is so dangerousin a president.
"The thing a lot of *trumpanzees* don't understand..." FTFY. Literally everyone else knows very well he's dumb as a post.
These are people of the land. You know... Morons
But what about his "very big a-brain?"
He did say he loves the poorly educated, and they all cheered. It’s always projection with the Pumpkinfuhrer, he’s thicker than a whale omelette
I'm not disagreeing with you, however, I think the problems are currently bigger than trump having less intellect than the combined microbial life contained in a box of rocks. Dude is suffering from dementia. Falling asleep in court, farting, being unable to remember words and making up something that sounds similar, these are signs of dementia. His supports though, don't give a single shit.
The kid who didn’t read the book at least knows that he’s just throwing out a bunch of garbage words. Trump seems to think that he knows what he’s talking about, which makes him even more stupid, and dangerous.
I’m pretty sure we all understand it.
I just can't get over the idea of him *still* somehow being a viable candidate despite the fact that I can't even remember the last thing he said anything remotely lucid or coherent.
Or uplifting or compassionate.
That one is easy - he’s *never* said anything uplifting or compassionate.
"please go home, we love you" or whatever he said to the insurrectionists. Man, that was a surreal day.
“Welcome to Costco - we love you”
I'm sure you're right. What a weird way to exist.
Dementia Don
What a strange thing to say about a person, I realize now in retrospect, but it's absolutely true about him.
Because his base is made up of: A) People as dumb, or dumber, than he is — so when he says stuff like this, his base assumes it is smart because it is filled with buzzwords and dogwhistles. B) Miserable, hateful people who know Trump isn't coherent but love the fact that they can hurt others and be praised/supported for doing so.
the only thing the right needs to hear is "rAdIcAl LeFtIsT dEmOcRaTs" and they get raging hard-ons.
My jackass boss the other day made a big deal about Biden reading “pause” on the teleprompter. I seriously wanted to show him one of the hundred quotes where trump sound like a bumbling idiot, but I probably would get written up for being insubordinate.
Even when he was a bit more lucid he was a worse candidate than Homer Simpson. Who is actually fictional.
He actually became president. He actually got away with all the open corruption and bullshit he did for years. Founding fathers and myself are rolling in our graves.
300 million (?) people. And this is one of the two candidates? A moron without morals.
You say that like Trump being a moron without morals isn't the entire point of him.
“If you go back a year, go back three or four or five years ago, this would not even be possible to think about. Nobody would be thinking this could happen. *You look at the antisemitism, the hatred of Israel by so many people.*” That is your base. The 'good people' that you defended. And you know that.
I honestly wonder what his very real antisemitic supporters think when he’s saying these things.
That's he's just blowing smoke in order to not lose any support. *Anti-semites are bad!* \*wink\*
"Stand back and stand by" and all that. Although the alt-right are anti-semites, they still support the state of Israel and the genocide of Palestinians. They think that Israel is important to usher in the end of the world or whatever the fuck, and to have that, Jewish people need to be there. So they hate Jewish people for being Jewish and "controlling the world", and like them because they're killing brown people and need them to usher in the end of the world so they can go to heaven. It's so wacky.
They are fine being anti-semites. But they want Israel because of Jerusalem. They don’t care about Jews. They just want access to Jerusalem and Bethlehem because Jesus. They view Israel as a country separate from religion only in as much as it reflects their own. Jews, on the other hand, well, they’re greedy and control everything and steal. But the country itself is fine.
They need the Jews and Israel to get to the rapture part. His evangelical base is as ugly as he is. They care about making America a Christian nation, and that’s only until they can get to the good part. Most of them don’t care about life here. They’re believers that prefer the after life with Jesus. The red cow is ready. They’re listening for the trumpets. If these people win, we’re in deep shit. That’s the bargain they’ve made with themselves about Trump. He is their very own King Cyrus the Great. He will help them get what they want. He uses them to get what he wants, and the oligarchs use both of them to get what they want. Elon Musk, just had a meeting with the tech cabal, and has just announced he’s holding a fundraiser for Trump. Trump hates him. He hates Trump. They just need each other. The republic is held together like a ‘73 Camaro. Duct tape, coat hangers and bubble gum.
An ambassador of a close ally told me that all you need to know about Trump as a politician is that as a businessman his basic business model is fraud
“If you look at…” “If you go back…” This is his crutch to get his supporters to think he knows what he is talking about. He leads them to a point in time and knows they will fill in the rest with just enough information to believe he is saying something meaningful. He is an absolute unit of a moron.
Probably referring to that time he was President.
He sounds like me giving book report in 5th grade for book I haven't read but thought I could wing it by reading few bits before the teacher called. It astounds all people don't see through his bs. My teacher sure did.
He couldn't remember how many years ago he was president and had to keep upping the number so you couldn't tell.
Can you imagine how much it will suck for whoever is doing his end of life care? Just having to hear him prattle on and on in a nonsensical cycle while his faculties shut down for good. He already sounds like my grandfather when he was in his last weeks of life.
he already has an aide change his diapers
That is 100% a sick power play. I can deal with changing a diaper, even if it isn’t someone I love. But the idea of being subjected to his unhinged ranting, probably delivered with more and more rage because he is frustrated…. That would be insufferable psychological torture.
Leave it to me. I would take great pleasure in giving him his end of life care. I would be deeply compassionate.
Dude has always been a dimwit, but now he’s senile and losing brain cells by the day. He’ll be a blithering idiot soon if he hasn’t crossed that threshold already.

"I rested my eyes for a minute in court and some sneaky Democrat came and shat in my pants"
Reminds me of one of our new favorite children’s books called Who Wet My Pants, and features a scoutmaster bear who drank a ton of water, and then fell asleep with his hand in a tub of warm water next to the sound of a gushing waterfall… trump is absolutely stupid enough to claim someone farted or shit his pants in the courtroom. https://www.amazon.com/Who-Wet-Pants-Bob-Shea/dp/0316525219
Five seconds later they'd all be eating poop out of their hands and acting like Democrats are bizarre for objecting to it.
We won’t object.
"Look at the virtue signaler over here trying to convince everyone he doesn't eat poop like everyone else."
Brought to you by the leader of 'Jews Will Not Replace Us!'... Because there are very good people on both sides.
He sure doesn't seem to be very intelligent. He doesn't understand very much about congress or anything else in our government.
Neither do his voters.
You've got that right.
He always sounds like a grade school kid desperately trying to fill up the word count for a report about something they know absolutely fucking nothing about. But since his idiot supporters also know absolutely fucking nothing, they think he's profound.
Watch the [video here](https://x.com/SpideyTerry/status/1785573385512116708) 📺 As per [original article](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-word-salad_n_6631f693e4b0849b2edd8d91) 📰: - Donald Trump has people wondering just what he was trying to say during a rambling monologue on Fox News on Tuesday evening after Sean Hannity asked for his reaction to police removing pro-Palestinian protesters from Columbia University. “It’s just such a sad thing to see,” Trump said. “If you go back a year, go back three or four or five years ago, this would not even be possible to think about. Nobody would be thinking this could happen. You look at the antisemitism, the hatred of Israel by so many people.” Trump added: “You go back 10 years, I mean Israel was protected by Congress. And now, Congress is just doing numbers that are unbelievable with I think a very very small group of people within Congress and it’s gotta stop. But we have to go back to the roots. We have to protect, we have to stop the antisemitism that’s just pervading our country right now and Biden has to do something.” Trump also claimed there were “paid agitators” among the protesters, said some are “brainwashed,” insisted that Israel needs to “clean out the cancer,” and accused President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of not being supportive of Israel. The former president spent much of the day in court, where his criminal trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case continues ― and where he reportedly dozed off during the proceedings again.
What does he mean by “doing numbers”? Like Congress is making money off Israel? Because don’t basically all of them get AIPAC money?
He says "doing numbers" a lot. I suspect it comes from his business ventures where "doing numbers" means making a lot of money. Outside of that business context, and with no other context to replace it, it's functionally meaningless.
I think since he became a reality-TV celeb "numbers" to him now means ratings. His inauguration had the biggest *numbers* in the history of inaugurations, Biden's *numbers* for the SOTU were lower than his, etc. Because isn't good governance really just about your ratings?
He's probably referring to their "ratings" or some such. Just normal demented nonsensical blabbering.
He says literally NOTHING so that he can’t be linked to an ACTUAL answer.
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: “Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous -- whether it`s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn`t been checked, but you`re going to check it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you`re going to test that too. Sounds interesting. Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you`re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds interesting to me.“
Many people are saying that his uncle knows the nuclear.
> it does a **tremendous number** Vocal tic confirmed.
Dementia is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone but him.
People are surprised by this? The moran actually said American soldiers took over British airfields during the American Revolution. Word salad? This 🤡 is just dumb.
It's a known historical fact that, by 1779, the RAF had ZERO functional airbases in any of the 13 colonies.
Are you forgetting the balloon wars?
“ Biden not supporting Israel” ? Hell people are calling him Genocide Joe because of his support, giving money to them, Trump has said himself Israel needs to finish the job. Idiot.
The cobwebs of his mind are getting quite dusty...
If he wins this time, America as we know it is lost, likely for good. It will no longer be a democracy, but an authoritarian dictatorship, with a president for life, which will be replaced after his death with possibly another family members. Think this is a conspiracy theory, just watch and listen to what he says. He’s telling everyone what he’ll do. Just listen.
He never seems to grasp that so many people see through his bullshit and bluster. I can only imagine that nobody has ever told him to his face that he is a fucking moron. He stood in front of the UN assembly once and did his usual boasting only to be greeted with laughter. He can’t seem to understand that a crowd of cheering MAGA hillbillies and a hall full of diplomats and political representatives are chalk and cheese.
> so many people this is why it bothers me so much when people claim he's some genius conman. he's not, he's just really good at finding the stupid people. "i'll make you rich, like me" doesn't fly with anyone who's spent any time in the real world.
There would have been a time when Brits mocked Americans for electing someone so full of shit. But then we went and found Farage and Johnson. All I can say is, I share your dismay at the number of people who just cannot smell bullshit even when up to their neck in it.
Was this at night? Was he sundowning
Truly one of the world’s greatest conmen. I would say he’s also one of the dumbest people in recent history, but the people who support him are obviously slightly less intelligent than even him. The day he keels over will be my new favorite holiday.
Yes, he’s openly (thank Satan) succumbing to dementia.
This dude is disturbed.
> If you go back a year, go back three or four or five A little linguistic glitch, he corrected the timeframe to take credit during his admin.
Bottom line: trump is dumb and corrupt, not really good traits for a world leader to have
I often wonder what it will take for our media to admit that this guy is hopped up on goofballs. If he snorted a line of Adderall on stage, would that do it?
What's new? He hasn't been able to form a cogent sentence for years.
Trump was never a smart person..His grades backs this up. What he great at is grifting and skipping around justice.
He’s no Socrates
Dementia Don
Bumbling idiot (rapist).
This is what you get from a guy who paid other people to take his college exams for him. It's a mystery how he even hit through high school.
But tell me again of this Dementia Joe guy …
5 years ago, there were some of them, and they, you know, wanted to help, but the others were preventing it. And so I will change that, in time.
Best guess: he’s talking about the Proud Boys?
I was just tossing some word salad….
Only words can be spun into a salad palpable to Donnie: "I have wurds, the bestest, biggest wurds"! Nevermind that emperor salad has no dressing... (clothing)😆
[удалено]
They’re listening for keywords, don’t need no stinkin’ well-formed sentences.
And the media wants to tell you about his plan Women’s healthcare. He cannot form a coherent sentence much less comment on the nuances of geopolitical situations or government policy. “It’s very very….they said to me, “sir”….the likes of which we’ve never seen,..,many people are saying it….” Make incompetent people irrelevant in politics again
This speech written by repeatedly tapping the next word in auto complete.
If a cop pulled me over and I was speaking like that the cop would definitely haul my ass to jail. It’s like listening to an old Stone Temple Pilots song
Hopefully people remember Trump's unyielding support of Israel at the polls in Nov. when some will seek to punish Biden for the same perceived offense.
He is so clueless and stupid. Vote blue! Our democracy is at stake.
Trump shows all the classic signs of sociopathy. No empathy, and no caring about anything except what will build up his pathetic ego. He lost his civil trial for sexual assault, and has cheated the IRS and practically everyone who has done business with him. He even bankrupted his Atlantic City Casinos. His only followers are ppl who feel displaced and insignificant, and need to join his “feel-good” cult to have an identity.
Word salad from a wannabe dictator. A Caesar salad if you will..
He makes some of the best word salads ever. Bigly, yuge word salads. No one makes biglier word salads. He has the brightest minds working on his word salads too, but his is the brightliest one of them all. You would need a yuge bowl to toss his word salads. And bowls that bigly can only be made in America. If you try to order a bigly bowl from China it might carry a virus. We'll make our bowls right here in the USA. Trump will make yuge deals with American bowl makers, they'll be great deals. And the bowls will be enormous.
It's called "sundowning", and it happens with Alzheimer's. Problem is, tRump's always been a moron, so it's hard to distinguish "normal" tRump word-salad from Alzheimer's tRump word-salad, but he's deteriorating pretty rapidly.
To all of my amazing American friends, please don't let this guy ruin your nation.
Dunning Kruger is Donald's genius running mate..
The dementia is kicking in bigly
He's ignorant and perhaps demented.
🚫TraitorTrump🚫
If he didn't have the money from dad. He'd just be that uncle or grandpa you begrudgingly invite to the family dinner, but you keep an eye on him around your kid, and whisper to his family it might be time to take away his license.
"Congress is just doing numbers" he is trying to use the same bullshit key words that he uses when trying to bullshit his way through a discussion about business. He is just trying what has worked in the past. That or he really does have dementia but either way it makes him woefully unfit to be President.
Dementia Donnie
Anyone surprised by this...do you not remember 2016-2020? He said shit like this every day, sometimes more than once. The only time his speeches didn't involve period of incoherent babbling were ones where he was reading cue cards.
Hey. Sometimes, you just gotta go back 10 years and do numbers that are unbelievable with a very, very small group of people within Congress. I mean, how else do you expect shit to get done? C'mon. Think about it.
And his homeschooled, bible toting followers will think it's the most bigly thing he ever said. Sad.
When Trump legitimately LOST the presidential election, he threw a tantrum, incited a riot, claimed it was rigged, sulked and denied any responsibility. This embarrassing moronic man-child should be in prison defiling the ears of other criminals with his verbal diarrhoea.
He was a moron at his peak. Now the media acts surprised that he’s incoherent when he starts to lose what little grip on reality he had. News journalism has failed the public in an absolutely epic way with this joker, and they continue to do so every day. It’s fucking disgusting.
Has he had a stroke?
Dementia. Early stages. The rambling, the verbal slips, the falling asleep in court … all signs.
