Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

its amazing that none of this shit affects his standing at all. 46% of America is hooting and hollering as he disparages our top doctors and rails against freedom of speech

To the extent that it doesn't become dangerous (which isn't unlikely), his increasingly-unhinged desperation will be quite beautiful to behold.

xpost They were literally chanting 'WE LOVE YOU!' in some rally clip I saw this morning.

Remember when 3 Doors Down played his inauguration?

Every now and then I remember that even in the event of a humiliating defeat, for the rest of his years Donald Trump will have
secret service protection, travel privileges, (military) health care, a lifetime salary of $200,000, plus 100K annually for office expenses....

I can't even be mad at the idea of a secret service detail flanking him on his daily travel from his cell to the showerblock to the mess hall

the Presidential shiv

This guy will never, ever face a consequence and will die of old age in comfort, a perfect metaphor for the society that America has allowed to flourish.

You know, Biden wants, listen, Biden wants you and your loved ones to not die prematurely. Sad!

It's a winning strategy for the votes.

You know what I miss? Hamberders.

"I call the head of Exxon. I'll use a company. 'How, how are you doing, how's energy coming? When are doing the exploration? Oh, you need a couple of permits, huh?' But I call the head of Exxon, I say, 'you know, I'd love you to send me $25m for the campaign'" - Trump #QuidProQuo pic.twitter.com/Tr1ccpyMzw

after trump is gone, we need to revisit the issue of campaign finance. and pack the court so we can overturn citizens' united.

well yeah

Trump is always referring to "the disaster known as Obamacare." If Biden wins, he should rename it "The Disaster Formerly Known as Obamacare" in the first few months of his term, then drop that for a mysterious symbol.

he should rename it trumpcare, just for the lols

he should change it up a little and call it Medicare for All

he should eat shit slowly

“Oh, I don’t know,” Trump replied. “Look, he’s an expert. He’s one of the experts of the world.”

i’m afraid to say there are some Trump phrases that almost make you wriggle with pleasure.

from this long dive into white house covid chaos in the WaPo.

to balance what might be seen as unseemly amusement, i thought the most telling quote in the piece was this:

Trump and many of his advisers have come to believe that the key to a revived economy and a return to normalcy is a vaccine.
“They’ve given up on everything else,” said a senior administration official involved in the pandemic response. “It’s too hard of a slog.”

Yes, good stuff, Fizzles. In the UK we've been alternating between grim workaholics and lazy offhand poshos for some time: Brown/ Cameron/ May/ Johnson. I'm not saying one is necessarily a reaction to the other but I do wonder sometimes.

This is the same guy, rant on Scooby Doo:

huge ghostbusters energy

That lightning storm last night (and I mean freaking ALL last night) was something else. Had no idea it was some deity or other attempting to destroy Trump's shitty building but I support the effort.

Oh for FUCK'S sake, the writers are going way overboard on heavy-handed metaphors this season.

It's not a metaphor.

i've been flipping that building off for 4 years now, glad to see that my negative energy is starting to translate

like they added a little Sam Waterston DNA

so either a cake or for ballistics tests i guess?

TRUMP: I would eat me.

Are there still Melania truthers out there?

Is this really Melania? Nose, jawline, and smile aren't the same as the real one. pic.twitter.com/zcb5PIkRJY

Looks like her

yes. me. I think that's a different person.

you absolutely can't conclude anything from a single low-res digital image taken in motion from one angle, AND also that doesn't look like her

Also, the b00ps are much smaller than Melania and the teeth are different.

also: why would a fake melania be there

Real Melania is in hiding preparing to turn state's evidence against him.

Melania doesn't smile wide with teeth like that. Though I guess to be fair, she's always so made up I imagine it doesn't take much (or less) to make her look like someone else.

Maybe he ate Melania?

I am embarrassed to agree with this or really have any opinion at all on it but yeah that just doesn't look like her?

Dud

Probably just the pilot's fashionista wife.

I care whether they're using a Melania stunt double about as much as I care that Donald used to call reporters claiming to be his own publicist. Believable, sure. In character, yes. Does it matter in terms of whether or not he's a piece of shit? Eh, not really.

It may turn out that there's a stunt Melania. It may turn out that there isn't, and it's just a weird angle or lighting or whatever.

If we press the line that it's the former, and it was the latter, then we look stupid and delusional. It's bait. If we just shake our heads at how fucked up that whole family and scene is, that's low stakes and has the advantage of being obviously true.

I think it’s just a weird angle. It still looks kind of like her:

i'm with YMP, i just dgaf, and bummed seeing my friends posting the shit

Soon the trumps will be gone
