He just wants everyone to think he’s actually working.
Trump believes that he’s still on a TV show
Is he confusing his daydreams/dreams for reality? that ain’t a good sign
Yeah, that kind of thing is not uncommon in dementia patients. My friend’s mom was telling us all about her lunch with Rob Lowe a while back. Of course she is in memory care, not the Oval Office.
“I never drink or do drugs.”
Alcohol and Drugs: “Uhhh… no comment.”
The phone in question:
And yet, everytime he claims something, some stupid shit head believes it.
I jokingly said, “Man, I’m loving this $1.98 gas” at work, and some fuck face agreed with a, “Ain’t it nice”.
Gas is at least $2.74 in a sixty mile radius around my town.
2.74 USD / gal. is equivalent to 0.99 CAD / L
Anything below 1.50 CAD / L is considered cheap where I live. I’m jealous of your gas prices
I remember the first time i saw gas hit $1.00 CAD/L decades ago and never seen it below since.
Dropped to 65ish cents during the first few months of covid when the highways were empty, that was wild. Soared back up not too long afterwards
Either that didn’t happen in BC where I’m at, or I didn’t pass a gas station to notice while isolating, but that is wild.
That’s some of the cheapest gasoline in the world… I would be careful complaining about it.
Just did the conversation. UK is roughly $7.50 per gallon (£1.42/liter). I’ve seen it up near $10 in some places.
I would gladly pay $15 a gallon if we got walkable cities and functional public transportation in exchange for it
Oh, they are working on fixing that. Our public transport was “privatised” a few decades back. It’s a shadow of what it used to be. A few places have improved, but it’s often local efforts.
Walkability is a godsend however. Interestingly, Milton Keynes proves you can have the best of both worlds. It has a robust road network. However, the red routes mean you can get most places with minimal road crossings. Either on food, bike, or e-scooter.
You know, honestly, he could score a win if he used real had prices. 2.70 here ain’t bad and some places have 2.49.
If he legit said, hey, gas prices are floating around $2.50, he could score points. But no, dummy had to exaggerate it to a redonk price.
I got gasoline for $2.36 the other day
$5.10
I’m starting to think someone is just prank calling him.
Hallucinating the best, most perfect phone calls.
Are we sure Trump isn’t an LLM?
Jesus Lord above don’t give them ideas. A trump LLM would fit perfectly with his bullshit scam phones.
He has used AI generated reports a few times already.
That’s probably the idea with the big beautiful bill and AI shit - make an AI version of King Trump to allow his glorious rule to continue after he dies.
Bigly Language Model, maybe?
He certainly is large.
His misfiring neurons are kind of like that, yeah.
We had the best phone calls, it’s true. They were really great. So great. Everybody is saying it - I’m not saying it, everybody here is saying it. But I said it when I made the call, I said, “What a great call”, it really was. We had a horrible administration that couldn’t make any deals, just horrible, they were the worst. The Biden crime family couldn’t make the deals I make, you wouldn’t believe, it’s true. This guy knows it, right?
Maybe they’re just putting someone on with a fake accent to keep him busy and he really believes it.
they are incredible phone calls, we have the best phone calls in the world. nobody phone calls like we do
How do you misspell “Newsom” on literally the next line?
It was just something new.
Have you ever tried to spell Gnusum correctly, spaysnudel?
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as sum, is in fact, GNU/sum, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus sum.
This is peak Lemmy.
holy hell!
I think the only real deal he’s ever made is with Baalzebub.
I could easily see him doing a deal similar to the one in “The fall of the house of Usher”
You don’t pay the price. Your children do.
I don’t doubt any of these points but it’d be better to bring the receipts:
- China deal: https://www.reuters.com/world/chinas-foreign-ministry-says-xi-trump-did-not-have-call-recently-2025-04-28/
- India Pakistan cease fire: https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/india-will-not-accept-third-party-mediation-relations-with-pakistan-modi-tells-2025-06-18/
- Phone call to Newsom: https://www.axios.com/2025/06/10/trump-gavin-newsom-call-protests-los-angeles-law-enforcement
- Iran call: couldn’t find a reliable news source about this in the past two weeks
Well, he never did let a little thing like the truth stop him and it’s not like his voter base hears news from anyone but him.
Wait, what?! I thought the ceasefire between Pakistan and India had actually been negotiated by the Trump administration!
Welcome to the future. I actually thought he was tangentially involved too.
No sane person can keep up with verifying news anymore. Most people’s feeds are pretty bad, and that’s the point! He literally burned out fact-checkers and journalists (and numbed minds to them) last term.
As he did on Wall Street before he got into politics:

Might be better if social media changes, but… we basically elected Big Tech:
No sane person can keep up with verifying news anymore.
I would also point out that there’s been multiple organizations that verify and fact check.
And just like we’ve seen in Trump Presidency part 1, MAGA and conservatives don’t gaf.
The whole reason we’re on the precipice of war is because Taco woke up saw Israeli strikes called genius on Fox news and he wanted to bask in that praise so he started suggesting he had something to do with it. It’s absolute lunacy.
The world is led by fox news 😵💫
He is a straight up LOON
Loser obviously on narcotics?
Is TACO an abbreviation or the food?
Taco’s did nothing to deserve being associated with that prick.“Trump always chickens out”.
Seems a bit soft, surely we can come up with something better?
Maybe CUNT : Consistently Undermines National Trust?Or what about TAINT : Trump’s An Inbred Nazi Tribalist
It’s the news-safe words that get published. FUCKFACE Trump doesn’t get headlines.
But Weird Republicans and Taco Don do, and they get under his skin.
TACO was specifically something that came about because of him repeatedly caving in on tariffs. I think someone in the media eventually said Trump Always Chickens Out and they ran with it.
I believe it was the financial sector that came up with it. They can predict how the market reacts since they know he will cave later.
I get what you are saying, but also it’s much more difficult to park a Cunt or Taint van in front of the white house than a Taco one.
