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.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 58 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

They haven't been hiding it well. His dementia was apparent even in 2016.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 27 points 15 hours ago

It's not just dementia anymore. That's just a symptom, whatever it is has progressed a lot.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 31 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Can someone sneak in an executive order instituting free basic healthcare and education for all, in one of the bundles of paper he signs?

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 22 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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!

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 78 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

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.

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

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?"

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

"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.

Man thought the Barbie movie was a documentary and is ready to nuke the country Mattel for making a woke movie in their country.

"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.

Can someone confirm this is real? I refuse to watch this piece of shit any more than I have to.

[–] PotentialProblem@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 22 points 4 hours ago

Tbf he tariffed penguins.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

But how many accidents does it take? He always accidentally says the wrong thing. Its a pattern.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago

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

At least you don't have a woman in office, huh America?

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 22 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (13 children)

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.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (6 children)

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.

Mfw Mattel secedes from the union

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 19 points 9 hours ago

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.

collapsed inline mediaBy the power

By the power of GREYSKULL!!!

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago (5 children)

This one isn't so bad. Simple misspoken word. Meant to say "company" not "country." He referenced their "CEO" a moment later.

Literally a zillion valid thing to complain about Trump. This was nothing.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 28 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

What makes it sting is that when it was Biden or Obama misspeaking, the right wing troll farms and the entire corpoganda machine would have a great day with it. And god help them if they wore beige.

So yeah, I don't feel a need to play fair anymore. He asked for every whiff of smoke he's getting.

He needs to be judged harshly on everything he does. Everything.

Let's just imagine if Biden had said something like that. Or if Obama did it (whilst wearing a tan suit for extra fake rage). The us media would've been shouting about it and there'd be TV shows about it. Oppositional politicians would've been demanding impeach this and impeach that etc etc etc...

But, oh, it's tRUMP who may have misspoke? Oh, well, he's done much worse so let's give him a pass, shall we? How about this...NO.
That fat, dumb, racist, rapist, orange cunt gets no pass, ever.

It's the small passes over the years that have had no consequences for him that have allowed him to move to bigger and bigger stuff to the big horrible shit that he's doing now. And has been doing for decades.
No passes, just harsh criticism. That's all he deserves.

[–] Merva@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 hours ago

For anybody else in his position it would have been a pretty big deal. But because it is Trump and we know how he is with words (as in not at all), this is "nothing".

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

did he watch the barbie movie and thought barbie land was real?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Contextually, there's no indication he had confused Mattel with a country, likely just said the word because of speech habit when talking about tariffs. To think he confused it, you'd have to subscribe to the idea he thinks it's a country that makes toys and is run by an executive, or had an ear piece correct him mid-sentence.

He fucks up multiple times a day. There's much more low-hanging fruit than this. Come on, peeps.

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Right. Just so we're clear then, he knows Mattel is a company, and he thinks companies can impose tariffs on the USA.

And that's better?

So I guess Barbieland is part of the Axis of Evil now?
