Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

honestly when he does stuff like this i think he's extremely funny.

it does feel like a comedy bit. he takes self-centeredness so far beyond any other person i've seen.

They should totally give him his own reality show.

The thing I find most hilarious about this human black hole is watching human civilization get sucked into his inescapable gravity well and obliterated. It's sick, brah.

he had his own reality show for years

it was called "the fire man" i think. he fired people and american viewers rejoiced in the humiliation of unemployment.

i remember his famous catchphrase "you have become fired"

his hairstyle was way better back then

Because you can't say "Cohen" (phonetically) without "ew:"

Josh I'm very confused about how you say Cohen, phonetically or not

Jordan, you dolt. It's cue-an. Q Anon. Michael Cohen is Q! the jailing was just a cover story for what he is actually doing--hunting pedophiles at trump's behest. a one-man army.

Donald's thoughts on his dead brother, in full (as someone who transcribes interviews a lot, I can only imagine how many times the transcriber had to re-listen to this flood of mouth-diarrhea; no wonder the NY Times so frequently opts for "[indecipherable]" when posting Q&As with him):

lol xp

Not to state the obvious but it's clear that Trump has never felt empathy for another human being in his entire miserable life.

So fucking bizarre how QAnon has now spread to the rest of the world. I fail to see its 'value' for non-Americans (except perhaps for Canadians, because living vicariously through the US is the closest thing we have to an identity, or so I tell myself in my more despondent moods).

xposts Weird that Trump recited a passage from Naked Lunch to eulogize his brother but whatever floats your boat, I guess.

"well we did interact" is a normal way to describe a relationship with your sibling

I didn’t know it had spread. But conspiracies that the world is secretly run by an elite group who partake in depraved rituals is a trope that never really goes away. Usually it’s explicitly antisemitic—I don’t know to what degree this is true of Q Anon.

These newer groups and pages also demonstrate the spread of QAnon around the world. They include groups dedicated to QAnon followers in the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia. The largest international QAnon groups documented by the Guardian were German, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Australian and British.

all the great countries love QAnon, ladies and gentlemen

I like the subtle implication that Northern Ireland isn't really part of the UK.

Yeah well America has also exported hip hop and coca-cola—a lot of cool stuff. They can’t all be winners.

His fluency in oral cut-up is without peer. Truly the most avant pop performance artist since Kenneth Goldsmith.

Josh I'm very confused about how you say Cohen, phonetically or not

I should have specified, without the "e" sound and without the "w" sound. coWEn.

lol. A grosser person than I would intersperse that run on sentence of a paragraph with pornography a la "American Psycho."

Gov Walz says as President prepares to visit Walz’s hometown of Mankato, MN says he “spent this weekend trying to tell the White House why it was a really bad idea to have Pres Trump go down and stand at the George Floyd memorial and use as a backdrop” #tptalmanac @tpt @NewsHour pic.twitter.com/eXEqo3ZrkQ

So it's definitely going to happen, then.

maybe it would help if trump holds up an anti-racism book that belongs to someone else, while he speaks

Holy shit, out of nowhere I suddenly had the strangest epiphany: "covfefe" was him channeling a message from the future! He was actually trying to say "covid" but it got garbled in the process. Trump tried to warn us!

I for one encourage Donald Trump to make more ill-advised trips to places where lots of angry people despise him. Like daily, if possible.

I assume that's already true of every place he goes.

so did his brother die of covid or what?

I've been camping

Maybe, maybe not.

His brother had taken a fall earlier in the year and suffered some cerebral bleeding and never recovered.

And is there any chance that condition is hereditary

DJT has had lots of mysterious bruises in the last year, Robert was released from neurological intensive care into Charles Harder's custody to act as a stalking horse for Donald's lawsuit against Mary, and their father died with dementia.

So DJTJR seemed p oked up on the telly box last night eh?

DJTJ looks a few bumps away from having A Michael Mann moment.

Eh, all those TV outrage factory situations seem to espouse the George Lucas direction of "faster!" or "more intense!"

the rage-o-meter is only 90% full, get angrier!!!

"sir, our indicators show that the home audience's rage has dipped, it's dropped...it's..."

"just give me the news straight, i can take it"

"...the home audience's rage has dipped below...90%. i'm so sorry"

"god damn. god DAMN"

get me some fresh caravan footage, i need it yesterday

Historians: Is there a precedent for any sitting president's child(ren) to be so annoyingly involved in their parents' reelection campaign?

The standard Trumper line of defense here is that "everyone else in government is either useless or out to get him; these are people he knows he can trust."

These are people i wish he'd flushed

another addition to the "nuh uh, YOU are. all of what you said, only, about YOU" collection:

“We’re going to have an election that is all about the survival of the nation,” Trump told a crowd that had gathered inside an airport hangar south of Minneapolis for a scaled-down version of one of his signature rallies.

“Joe Biden is the puppet of left-wing extremists trying to erase our borders, eliminate our police, indoctrinate our children, vilify our heroes, take away our energy,” Trump added, claiming Biden was looking to “replace American freedom with left-wing fascism.””Fascists,” he said. “They are fascists.”
