If i had a dollar for every time the republicans ran with a dementia-riddled washed up celebrity who dramatically declined and possibly also stroked out while in office…
What he needs is jail time.
What he needs is hammer time.
Fuck welcome to 50 years ago
Oh NOW THEYRE SAYING IT
Exactly. Time for Peter Thiel to get what he paid for.
Well. More of what he paid for.
Usually interventions occur because people close to the subject care deeply about them.
Whew. That’s good news in this case, with no one who cares deeply about him, there will be no one to intervene with his decline.
Decline? What decline? He’s been this mental case for years. This is what people voted for. Twice. The only decline possible is that he forgets how to breathe.
It’s just like tesla owners and Elon. “Oh but I bought this before he went crazy.” Bitch, he’s always been crazy, you’re just ignorant or insanely stupid.
Yeah but there’s different stages of crazy. There’s “micro-managing credit-stealing dick boss” level, and then there’s “help foreign enemies hack the government while throwing Nazi salutes” level.
Initially, he looked to be on a similar level up Jobs or many other narcissistic upper-management types in a gadget-cult, which - sadly - is not so uncommon and that many people accept
He did stuff which was completely fucked up crazy. Lying, scamming people, saying really fucked up shit etc. It’s easy to ignore all that to justify buying his products. But don’t tell me it was at a different level before. The nazi salute just made it unavoidably clear but there were maaaaaany very clear signs many years before that.
Yeah it’s the entire point that a dotard is president. Much easier to puppet someone who has the mental capacity of a goldfish and who can be manipulated with simple praise because he hungers for love and attention since he never got any from his parents.
Unlike his first term, his puppeteers have figured out how to pull the strings. It’s why Dump’s second term is so much more effective and why the US is on the fast track towards theocracy.
Hey! Why the need to bash on goldfish? If you were a goldfish, how would you feel being compared to Trump?
Goldfish can do better than Trump
Goldfish have the ability to learn and do nice things, while Trump lacks these basic cognitive functions.
He was unfit in 2016, but his health has declined significantly.
Physically, yes. Mentally I haven’t seen much difference. He’s just the same old idiot blabbing weird nonsense, not knowing what he’s actually saying himself. Not forming normal sentences, not understanding what others say, just bad cognitive functions. This was also during his first term.
I see him sticking to teleprompters almost exclusively these days. He rarely did that in the past. It’s obvious when he’s reading and when he’s just projecting a stream-of-consciousness at the crowd. When he does try to improvise he gets confused easily and uses much simpler phrases than he once did. You can see his brain working slower than it used to.
Does he write his own teleprompter? Because even that is weird loonie bullshit which makes no sense at all. He sounds like a 3 year old. Teleprompter or not.
Probably not. His style isn’t particularly difficult to emulate though. I’ve seen random people on the internet do it pretty convincingly so I’m sure a professional speech writer could pull it off. He seems like he’s just going through the motions and reading whatever they want him to say.
If you brought today’s Trump back in time to 2016 everyone would have been put off by how more openly insane he has become. But people don’t seem to notice now because of how gradual it was. They became increasingly used to more and more insanity from his part and also removed everyone who could oppose him.
Remember when he had to deny having anything to do with Project 2025 because it was going to cost him the election? And now he’s just doing it in the open.
“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.”
“Can you explain what the nuclear triad is?”
Also, he says his uncle had to explain to him how “nuclear was powerful” in the early '80s, when Trump was in his mid 30s.
Dementia’s a bitch
He seemed just as insane to me honestly. Also hes not denying project 2025 anymore because he fully controls the government now.
A lot of Trumpers just double down when they are met with any level of cognitive dissonance because they’re in so deep
Imagine what it says of those who thought he was fit to be president… The rest of us knew he was gaga before the election.
For anyone else, yelling “They’re eating dogs! I saw it on TV!” during a Presidential debate would have been career ending. Howard Dean’s entire campaign was derailed by too loud of a triumphant yell.
And I thought I had finally got the kiffness song out of my head…
That’s the downside of democracy, really. Charisma is often, if not usually, more important than facts.
I have never understood how people think Trump is charismatic.
He rolled a 2 for charisma - at best.
I figure they just love his sexist, racist grandpa vibe, “he says it like it is!”.
He may have had a 2 in charisma, but he took the perks “rich” and “white man.”
Sadly, all they hear is Radio Gaga
I have never seen Trump look more confused and stupid than with his recent Tylenol speech or his befuddlement over “war-torn” Portland and inability to understand how the TV might show him things that aren’t true. For a long time I was skeptical about claims of his cognitive decline (from an already low starting place), but it is undeniable now.
It’s especially weird because he says things that aren’t true on TV all the time. How does he think it works? Does he think being on TV makes something true?
That might explain a lot.
The fact he is there is not a sign that he is an obnoxious idiot.
The fact that he’s there is a sign that the whole country is filled with idiots.
It’s a disease, a rot. As you die it’s not usually one thing you can point to. Sure cancer is like that, that right there is what killed them. But most people die as a result of a combination of things. That’s how America dies. A combination of anti-intellectualism, faith and propaganda.
por que no los dos?
I wonder what was on tv on the weekend that showed a fictional war torn Portland? The Day Called X? Civil War apparently has a reference to Portland Maoists and an Antifa massacre …
I think Pod Save America said that Fox News was talking about very minor protests happening now at an ICE place in Portland - where there have been one to four people protesting - and showing both that footage AND footage of much more significant action from 2020, presumably without making it clear that some of what they were showing was from years ago.
Tourism Oregon should advertise vacations, free travel and accommodations to Portland, in red states.
“Do your own research. See for yourself!”
Give them a driver and vehicle for their stay and let them go see wherever they want.
Tourism Oregon should start playing ads in Washington and Florida showing ai generated war scenes in red states with statements like “why would you want to get blown up in Georgia?!” and then cut to hyper peaceful Oregon with something like “when you could have a relaxing time in Portland”
Do a few different ones for a few different states, maybe even focus on the swing states
But good luck getting FOX yo air it.
The Entire United States
He has been “in decline” his whole life.
Peaked in middle school.
Lobotomy should ease his despair
No one would even notice the difference.
Please don’t let anyone intervene with his decline. The more hastened it is, the better.
