Was he ever cognitively there?
If it were not for his mental decline, he would not have gained the populist support of so many uneducated or uninformed people. Back when Trump was young and sharp the average New Yorker couldn’t stand him.
Years ago he was smart, fast, crooked, and completely devoid of ethics or morals. He has an instinct for self-preservation equaled only by New York City’s most vicious, flesh-eating rats. Those traits were imparted by a ruthless father and honed by a cold-blooded mentor.
But time has the final word, and J. D. Vance is waiting in the wings like a pudgy undertaker with a bereaved expression on his face and a twinkle in his eye.
Mattel? Pfft. The Hasbro Army is the one to worry about.
magats listen him on right wing sources as part of white noise background noise. they dont pay attention to what hes saying.
i have a family member like this, its to reinforce what they already believe about him.
Can someone confirm this is real? I refuse to watch this piece of shit any more than I have to.
As much as I’m not a fan of Trump, based on that snopes article and the context around what he said… it’s pretty obvious that he accidentally said country instead of something like company. He followed up with remarks that made it obvious he knew that it was a toy company.
No… you’ve killed the jerk line!
Tbf he tariffed penguins.
He thought it would put a damper on the FOSS movement. It’s not good for capitalism.
I can’t argue with that
“full of fish?” “At this price, yes”
But how many accidents does it take? He always accidentally says the wrong thing. Its a pattern.
I also mispeak a lot, but that alone doesn’t make me a dementia addled, fascist piece of shit unfit to be president. Him being a dementia addled, fascist piece of shit unfit to be president, on the other hand, does make him a dementia addled, fascist piece of shit unfit to be president
Thanks
WHALE!
At least you don’t have a woman in office, huh America?
Hillary won the popular vote, so the “you’re too misogynistic to elect a woman” take does not have a basis in reality. Also, you might have noticed that AOC is filling football stadiums in red states just by being willing to speak.
Kamala lost because people got poorer for four years under Biden and she very publicly affirmed she’d change nothing about his policies. Hell, she didn’t even put a platform on her website until two weeks before the election. Kamala was a legitimately bad candidate.

Well I think the problem is people perceived others as getting poorer or worse off but the economy was humming just fine and unemployment reached record low numbers iirc.
Like, in general terms, people did not get poorer for four years under Biden - but if that’s what people think, regardless of the actual truth, that’s what they’ll act on.
Even worse, the perceived suffering was largely because inflations… caused by Trump’s Tariffs and indiscriminate covid spending (essentially supply side, handing out money to businesses big enough to handle the paperwork vs demand side)
The GOP didn’t update their platform since, like, 2015, unless you count Project 2025, which Trump claimed to know nothing about. In the 2020 election, it still referenced running against Obama.
Why is it that female candidates are addressed by first name?
Females like Bernie
Whatever is the easiest descriptor in context. Kamala has a unique first name in politics, “Harris” is not. Hillary differentiates her from Bill, however you definitely could use either if trump is in context.
Likely to do with how they tend to campaign, for some reason most tend to be more chummy and try to seem approachable then their male counterparts. (Its still bullshit, though)
I was with you until the end. People didn’t get poorer under Biden, the Dems just did a terrible job of promoting the fact that our economy was literally the strongest in the world, and stronger than it had been in decades.
Kamala didn’t lose for any other reason than the MAGA Nazis cheated in multiple ways, and EVERYONE knows it.
IF there is another election (I doubt it), the next Democratic candidate needs to run on six issues - Harsh punishment for HitlerPig and his henchmen, declaring MAGA a terrorist hate group and purging it from society, rebuilding the government back to its former glory, completely re-writing the tax code to favor workers and HEAVILY tax the wealthy, and Medicare 4 All.
Anyone who says that we have to run on something other than not being HitlerPig instantly loses my vote. Prosecuting and punishing HitlerPig is literally the only issue in front of us. Without that, America can never move forward. HitlerPig and MAGA must be crushed and purged mercilessly.
Prosecuting and punishing HitlerPig is literally the only issue in front of us
You’ve already seen twice that this strategy is stupid.
But sure, go for it. Again.
If Hillary or Kamala had been men they would have won. If Kamala had been white I don’t think that would have been enough to get her elected.
But if Kamala had more than a hundred days to campaign, then she might have had a fair shot.
If Hillary or Kamala had been men they would have won.
Hillary won the popular vote, so arguing for misogyny in her case isn’t a reasonable argument. As for Kamala, no. She’d have lost if she had a penis too. Her campaign was a comedy of errors and she knew it. She was even caught on hot mic once expressing worry about her campaign’s ability to connect with young men. (Admittedly a tough thing to accomplish when you tell people you won’t change anything and young men are struggling economically and lack access to basic necessities in your country.)
The only way the Dems had a shot here was to hold a primary and actually select a seasoned, authentic candidate. Instead, they rigged it like they always do and just happened to pick someone extremely weak.
The fact that she won the popular vote but lost the election proves my point. All the places she marginally lost in would very likely have swung to marginally won if she wasn’t a woman. The hate we see rampant today was rampant then too, it just hadn’t been given a voice or a face yet.
That’s how the Republicans won that election, they realized there was just enough hate in just the right places to swing it in their favor. They just had to fan the flames.

No, it really doesn’t.

Hillary just ignoring the Rust Belt during her campaign had nothing to do with it. Totally.
The lesson here isn’t that there’s too much hate in America. It’s that the Democrats really need to stop rigging primaries for weak candidates. Their focus needs to be on the economy and the poor, not propping up people’s egos.
I never said she was a great candidate, just that if she had been the same candidate, but male, those margins would have swung her way. Yes, even given the exact same campaign and mistakes.
On October 18, 2016, less than a month before the Presidential election, FBI head James Comey decided to reopen the Buttery Males investigation. Male or female, that maneuver blew the campaign out of the water. If Trump learned anything from Roy Cohn, it was to win at any cost. https://youtu.be/mYMA3-ET4Ow?t=113 (I’m new, if YT links to PBS content aren’t permitted I’ll take it down)
I never said she was a great candidate, just that if she had been the same candidate, but male, those margins would have swung her way.
No. Absolutely not. That they had to rig a primary for her to even get the nomination in the first place demonstrates that your reasoning is incorrect.
Or just break from the skeleton, call for an immediate end to the genocide of Palestinians, and keep calling the right-wingers weird, obsessive ghouls.
She also had a lot of whispering in her ear about how to run a campaign, including from Joe Biden who still thinks he would have won. That’s also partly the reason she started stronger then diluted her platform.
She was a bad candidate in 2020, when she ran in the primary
She was, couldn’t even beat Tulsi Gabbard.
This among many other reasons is why I want Kamala to leave the governorship of California well enough alone. I don’t want her coming here and applying her Republican pandering to the state.
Newsom is doing enough of that on his own.
Back before the election, Trump spoke about the fictional character Hannibal Lecter, at least twice, like he was a real person. Trump was never cognitively there!
He kept talking about Hannibal Lecter because someone mentioned asylum for immigrants, and the only “asylum” he knows is an insane asylum.
So he started talking about Hannibal Lecter every time he mentioned immigrants, equating them with insane cannibals who want to eat you.
Is there a term for Pavlov’s dog but done to yourself?
Autohypnosis
And only peope who were as extremely stupid as himself would have ever realised that connection.
Before DJT had symptoms of his father’s Alzheimer’s, which is a decade since now since it has shown on TV, he was even back then, how he calls it, a low IQ individual. And a racist
“Trump is not cognitively there”.
So, he’s the perfect representative for the American people.
His cabal of gamification experts discovered that the flaw in the Electoral college system could be exploited IF they could find a common denominator for all the low population areas with disproportionately high representation in the EC. Turns out it’s hate. Who’d have thought.
That’s a strategy as old as Reconstruction, utilizing an antidemocratic compromise baked into the Constitution by slavers who didn’t want the anti-slavery popular vote to have the power to take away their chattel. The brain trust behind Trump’s win aren’t especially clever. They’re just the latest schmucks to be soulless and hollow enough to fully embrace that hate-filled lowest common denominator, half a century after the last bunch finally got pushed out of power.
Absolutely. I love when people know their history.
In 2016, I’d have argued he isn’t.
But now, after what we’ve seen out of America since, he is absolutely representative of who we are at our core in this country. Just wait until the supply chain breaks down from tariffs and people start to see empty shelves. You’re REALLY going to see who the American people are then.
No shit, that’s why he signs whatever they put in front of him, and project 2025 has been followed almost to a T. He doesn’t give a crap about anything in project 2025. But he’s mentally in lala land and they’ve been hiding his declining health for a while.
They haven’t been hiding it well. His dementia was apparent even in 2016.
It’s not just dementia anymore. That’s just a symptom, whatever it is has progressed a lot.
Can someone sneak in an executive order instituting free basic healthcare and education for all, in one of the bundles of paper he signs?
Just call them something like “Repeal Obamacare and institute Trumpcare Act” and "Great American Education Act’ and he’ll sign them without reading.
I dunno, give it a shot. Maybe he’ll just sign it and go for a big mac.
It’s why they want to get rid of PBS, he wants to be the most famous puppet.
But at least he isn’t using autopen! /s
That dumb motherfucker is the autopen.
The Ronnie Reagan 2 the dementia boogaloo
Trump is one of those guys you find on one of those “lol shit Americans say” videos where someone approaches “random” people on the street to ask them history or geography questions.
Except he’s your president, and because your country is “nice” enough to have the world exchange currency we all have to suffer for it.
He’s also an idiot
did he watch the barbie movie and thought barbie land was real?

AMERICA, FUCK YEAH
be afraid. be very afraid. they can do anything.
lol. But Sleepy Joe. FJB. I dunno. Fuck maga, trump and Elon.
Sleepy Joe was very publicly cognitively impaired for years. I don’t think “our guy is as bad as their guy” is a good point to make on this one.
I don’t remember him saying things like “Mattel is a country”. I remember him agreeing to do a debate while sick, which was stupid.
I think the difference between a very bad day and mentally impaired is a lot wider than you speculate.
That said I agree with you only because he DID step back from the race, and had he done that A LOT FUCKING EARLIER then Kamala might have been able to dodge the bus she got thrown under.
I don’t remember him saying things like “Mattel is a country”
“We beat Medicare”
To be fair, Biden was a gaffe machine in the '80s, and he was quite intelligent then.
Oh absolutely, Im just already tired of people pretending he didn’t say stupid shit all the time, especially near the end when the dementia was obvious
You can tell this wasn’t mental illness because he didn’t immediately fire the secretary of health and human services after and replace him with RFK.
My brother in law, without skipping a beat: “obviously he meant Micronesia”
My reply, apparently not enough to get a response: “So you’re okay with a president who’s so cognitively vacant he can’t tell the difference between two very different sounding words?”
“obviously he meant Micronesia”
These people are goners. Completely in lala land now. Trump could have an episode where he sits on stage digging into his diaper and eating his own shit and these people would go “Trump is a very smart man returning those nutrients to his body” and they’d all start eating their own shit too.
Don’t you mean scooping his diaper since it’s all liquid. I doubt he has a solid bowel movement since his cocaine abuse permanently damaged his intestines
Cocaine?! I seriously doubt Trump’s ever touched an illegal drug, his narcissism and general prudishness wouldn’t allow it. Why would he need any drug to change his state of mind, perfect as it is? I’m sure his doctors have justified him taking some kind of speed, like Aderall, to keep up, but somehow that’s different in his mind.
100% guarantee that Trump doesn’t know what Micronesia is
It’s a cult.
As well as the fact Micronesia is also not a country…
micro-asia.
I stand corrected
It’s okay, we all know Trump wouldn’t know this at all.
He obviously meant Micronauts…
was totally unaware that fsm was a toy manufacturing powerhouse.
Obviously got his countries mixed up - it’s the Microplastesia that is invading every bit of USA (and indeed the world).
