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

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 2 points 26 minutes ago

He’s also an idiot

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 1 points 16 minutes ago

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

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

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 12 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (3 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.

[–] uberfreeza@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

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.

[–] Newsteinleo@infosec.pub 2 points 49 minutes ago* (last edited 29 minutes ago) (1 children)

She was a bad candidate in 2020, when she ran in the primary

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 39 minutes ago

She was, couldn't even beat Tulsi Gabbard.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 51 minutes ago* (last edited 50 minutes ago) (1 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.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 40 minutes ago* (last edited 39 minutes ago)

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.

lol. But Sleepy Joe. FJB. I dunno. Fuck maga, trump and Elon.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 49 minutes ago* (last edited 47 minutes ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 39 minutes ago

I don't remember him saying things like "Mattel is a country"

"We beat Medicare"

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 14 points 3 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.

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 30 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

"Trump is not cognitively there".

So, he's the perfect representative for the American people.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 points 44 minutes ago

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.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

He's mixing Mattel and Malta...

[–] BillDaCatt@lemmy.world 83 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

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 65 points 7 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.

Is there a term for Pavlov's dog but done to yourself?

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 15 points 7 hours ago

Autohypnosis

[–] Merva@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 hours ago

And only peope who were as extremely stupid as himself would have ever realised that connection.

[–] ziggurat@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 5 hours ago

Maybe they successfully groomed a better younger asset & this one has done its part & now gets polonium garnish.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 86 points 10 hours ago (5 children)

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.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 28 points 8 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?

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 1 points 55 minutes ago

Just call them something like "Repeal Obamacare and institute Trumpcare Act" and "Great American Education Act' and he'll sign them without reading.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 20 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I dunno, give it a shot. Maybe he'll just sign it and go for a big mac.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 48 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

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?"

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 54 minutes ago

100% guarantee that Trump doesn't know what Micronesia is

It's a cult.

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 7 hours ago (1 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.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

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

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago

Obviously got his countries mixed up - it's the Microplastesia that is invading every bit of USA (and indeed the world).
