We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)
He’s incapable of empathy, conscience, morality, and remorse. He is a pathological liar. He has destructive personality disorders—narcissism, sociopathy, and paranoia. He speaks at the level of a fifth-grader and can barely spell, and his mental capacity deteriorates with each passing day. (2/2)
Strange so many Americans see a true leader in such person. Is something wrong with (many) Americans?
Must be. Those who look at him as a true leader probably range in the sub 100 IQ. Or they're owned or paid.
They are America’s poorly educated, lacking critical thinking skills, and he validates their racism.
Yes.
My bet is 2 SD from the norm on the 4 and 9 scales
unfortunately he has people arround him that know how to utilise that.
And we already know all of this. How do we wake up the rest, and how can we stop him?
You are absolutely right. But what can be done?
5th grade is pushing it, he can't read, remember? Most 5th graders can read quite well
The end result of the American experiment 😏
That's harsh on fifth-graders.
Do you think we will recover from this? What will become of America?
Depending on when MAGA fully loses power, everyone 45 and older will likely be dead by the time America fully recovers
I pointed out this discrepancy last night-Samsung vs Apple. Why does Trump hate America so much?
Oh, and he rawdogged a PORN star. Wonder where this falls in the "I'm the smartest" chart.
What a 'big, beautiful' description of the lying, fat, racist, convicted felon. As a retired primary elementary teacher, I'm not sure his vocabulary and spelling would reach the grade five level, but...
bsky.app/profile/bonn...
George, do you think the day will eventually come when the public discovers it's evil Stephen Miller who not only has been covering up Trump's advancing dementia but has been the main source telling him what to do and say on a daily basis.
And his is a powerful EVIL, the cultish kind of EVIL that can make people do horrific things to others in his EVIL name. Every single spawn of Trumps is also 💯 EVIL.
I feel better abt 47 when I think of the abuse (emotional, physical? Other?) he experienced as a child, making him the sadistic stunted man he is today.
A lot of people were abused & neglected but didn’t grow up to become narcissistic sociopaths.
Bingo!
and we have rich folks enabling him to amass even more obscene money
Absolutely
Truth Truth Truth Truth
And in spite of all these flaws people still voted for him, and the Republicans still support him. That is what is so distressing.
But sure, let’s cover Biden via Jake Tapper’s hit piece 24/7.
I am just going to like these posts because there is no need for further comment.....
How about Apple lists in the UK and moves all its staff here too. If you're gonna get tarrifed you might as well make the point about who caused the move Give Trump a bloody nose. Somebody will have to sooner or later
He dumb. He evil. He is artless and disgusting.
Trump can’t think critically, rationally, with forethought or understanding of the big picture consequences of his actions!
I have a grandson who just finished 5th grade. Not only does he speak at a distinctly higher level (he’s voracious reader) but I would honestly trust him to run the country more than the current chucklehead bc for all his lack of world experience he has compassion & is willing to listen to reason.
Yet Tapper and his co-writer can put together a compendium of quotes doubting Biden’s cognitive abilities and it dominates the media like we’ve never seen. Original Sin my ass
I was an actual 5th grader once. I remember at 10 yrs old I would have never acted or spoken like Trump does. Even younger, we were NEVER allowed to call people names.
AND he thinks he's the always the smartest guy in the he room & no one can tell him any different. He's gonna believe what he believes until he dies. He refuses to learn, which causes him to never evolve his beliefs.
So why is he where he is? How could he get to this position? I honestly don't know how to grasp it. So many people fell for it, and the "opposition" keeps only playing -even now- their tired ancient playbook. I don't get it.
Fifty+ years of brainwashing via Fox News and Sinclair Broadcasting, among others.
I think saying he speaks at the level of a fifth grader is giving him more credit than he is due.
We are in today's bullshit because of the motherfucking piece of shit ghost writer tony schwartz who penned "the art of the deal" and the mega coño mark burnett who decided to use this roten excuse of a human for his stupid "apprentice" tv show. These 2 will for ever be on my shit list.
No,we are in this mess because of voters who either didn’t exercise their responsibility to discern what DJT is, or they don’t care about his racism, lack of morality and mental deficiencies.
They don’t care. I know a few supporters of his and they will not acknowledge any of these aspects. It’s beyond stupidity. It’s willful and pervasive. A coming disaster is the only door out for all of us. Just my opinion- hope I’m wrong.
While I agree with your post, remember that without the orange 💩 to start with the whole maga disaster may not have happened.
I don’t think so. Trump exploited and manipulated what was already there, though more below the surface than it is now. His xenophobic, racist and misogynistic messaging resonated, much more than he could have imagined.
Agree and disagree, the dying tea-party leaders saw a narcissistic moron with a big access to the spotlights of tabloids to save them. Little did they know that it would be the end of them. The "birther" republicans gave trump a voice, and the rest is history.
I think you give him too much credit. Thinking back to e.g. TeaParty, Sarah Palin, even Reagan v1&2...
I blame the public that believed all this crap.
Oh come on. We are in today's bullshit because 49% of the voting public is a) racist; b) authoritarian; c) gullible/lacking critical reasoning skills; d) some combination of a, b, and c. And it's mostly a (with a heavy overlap of c). They like what he says and they never read his stupid book
Maga has always been there, american fascism is as old as america, and so is white christian suppremacism. Trump gave them a voice, a seat at the table. Trump gave them legitimacy
At least Tony Schwartz has come clean. I hold much more disdain for Mark Burnett
They kinda both did, but it doesn't change anything. Even if the thief admits to the robery, the victime of the robery still feels the effects years later.
I haven't heard a thing from Burnett and if he really came clean it would include releasing outtakes
Thank you for putting that so succinctly.
Don't forget Mitch McConnell and the others that let him off the hook. And they continue to deny anything is wrong.
And he’s gratuitously mean 🧌🥶
George Conway always tells it like it is! 👏🏼👏🏼
Yep, that's about the size of it, and it's a sad story
He's a make it up as a he goes along kind of guy, who doesn't give 💩💩 who or what it affects. I don't think Hell will even want him when his time comes.
Stop The trump DRAIN!!!! Defunding Resources for Assistance IN Needs
The trump DUMP Disastrous Unilateral Market Policies
Yes, yes……we KNOW! You have our attention. But please, will you at least raise questions about the likelyhood of The Felon and Elon stealing our election? There was a lot on the line for them. JAIL, $$$, POWER. COMMON SENSE, wake up!
And he is little more than a puppet for his handlers. A chaotic one, but a puppet nonetheless. No mastermind, this blob.
And he cheats at golf.
Bingo! Excellent personality analysis George! The full-on alphabet of adjectives that describe him is endless.
#25thAmendment
But would the 25th Amendment allow him to weasel out of his impending legal obligations? If no, I'm all for it. Also, if truwp continues to take PERSONAL TIME where he's clearly breaking the emoluments clause, will they 25th give him cover even though claiming PT breaks his presidential immunity??
... will the 25th
And yet he got elected to the most important job in the world…🤦🏻♀️
Ew!
Trump is exhausting. The GOP are just as vile, greedy, and power hungry as their leader.
Way too much credit. I think his speaking in writing level is more like a third grader.
Donald Trump is, by far, the absolute best in the world at one thing: lying. He’s raised lying to an art form, for lack of a better term.
When my grandmother was sunsetting, she would call out signs she saw while in the car. He’s spitting out random numbers and applying them to our economic wellbeing. Same same.
I hope that the next time he hoovers cocaine up that nose (which you *know* he hasn't stopped doing since the '80s) that he has a heart attack or stroke, and I hope that when it happens, it happens in the middle of the Oval Office so no one can deny what happened.
Why the fuck first he keep getting elected. He's giving a voice to every scumbag in the world. Gives white Afrikaner a free ride to our country, but the Future Queen of Belgium can finish her higher degree at Harvard University. All because of a silly little man baby.
Both 2016 and 2024 were rigged in his favor. Both times with the help of russia
Yes, I know you are right. How in the world we let this happen. No one is paying attention to the manipulation that is going on. We must put the pressure on these fools.
Small but important correction. Afrikaners are by definition white.
The distinction was white, meaning his preference, to whom he prefers to come to this country, not any other color.
I believe that's what I said, white Afrikaners, as that is what they are referred to as.
Afrikaners ARE white, you don't get black or Coloured or Indian Afrikaners.
Jesus it was a sarcastic remark. Go educate some Trumpian not me.
Them being referred to as white Afrikaners is wrong. Irrespective of who refers to them. Using these designations wrongly, brought us to the point where a tattoo qualifies you as a drug dealer.
And for your information a lot of gangs use tattoos in their organizations. But that does not give authorities the right not to investigate further. But for you. F. O!
What ever. I don't care what you have to say anymore. Someone that can't grasp sarcasm interests me not. Now go away to someone else's thread. I tire of you.
When you're dealing with someone who failed Wharton Business School and surrounds himself with incompetent dunces, you'll get failed economic policies.
Ya make an excellent point.
George you should really invest in making an AI app that can predict Trump tweets tomorrow based on a simple algo : read the news / what maximises my hate/make mot money/ shake down a sucker/destroy more of America / help Putin white supremacists/
He is also incapable of basic human decency.
Exactly. This verbatim should be the message being repeated by everyone, everyday, everywhere.
The republicans in congress pass everything on Trump's agenda. It is because trump has 600 million $ and counting in his war chest and these selfish members of congress care more about their jobs then their constituents They all suck
That sums up the anti- Christ.
And Dr.Phil endorsed him.
Other than that he was chosen by God to bring white folk back to the status they once had before DEI took it all away. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
In other words there is nothing good you can say about him.
But let's sell more books and air time condemning Democrats.
The same thing can be said for half of Congress and the majority of the SC. We're being ruled by emotional idealogues with deep-seated personality disorders, a confluence of bad actors not seen since the rise of the Hitler Regime. Germans were slow to get it, too. We saw how that played out.
Is that what it will take? Are we then destined to repeat? I think the govt from head to toe needs a makeover.The big things need change! Increase tax on oligarchs 1st. National healthcare is 2nd. 1st should cover 2nd. NRA has to go! MSM needs to be fact checked. Charged with violations & fined.
When the hatred gets this intense, the vision for the country so oppositional, the solution in the past has been war. Let's hope saner minds prevail. But it's doubtful.
We’ve already had one Civil War
Doesn’t have to be war. A criminal of epic proportions is dividing and destroying the country. The president ruling like a dictator. Remove him. And begin the restoration of the Constitution and rule of law.
Remove him before the damage is irreparable? That's unlikely to happen. The irreparable damage isn't only the bad policies. It's setting the system up to keep Trump and his followers in power.
And at this point, how is this achieved without a revolution or a war ? Nothing is working
You get an old RV and Randy Quaid!
Lol
Add to that he’s lazy. He won’t prepare for anything in advance. He refuses to learn anything. Thinks he’s a master on every topic. Yet when he opens his cake hole, it’s obvious he’s a moron. America is so fucked.
Things, can only get …. Worse! Lose elections, pay the price
You forgot to mention how fat and ugly he is.
I’m now embarrassed to admit that I’m an American.
What took you so long?
That part!
I should correct this: I have been embarrassed since November of 2016.
💔🇺🇸🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮
agree. America is so fucked
The people who voted for him are actually dumber than he is!
And unfortunately there are a huge number of them.
And how about those who KNEW he was a trainwreck and didn't vote at ALL?
But they *think* they are at least as smart as him. They voted for a president they can feel smarter than, and who says viciously offensive things of a kind they miss the days when they were allowed to say.
I’d argue they’re willfully ignorant, which is worse. If you’re dumb, you can’t really help it (like Donald-just plain stupid). But if you have abilities and refuse to use them because too busy/politicians are all the same/believe conspiracy theories sans evidence/etc, it’s dangerous dereliction.
Or more evil.
Exactly! I had no idea that we have so many low IQ Americans until November 2016!
If not for the oligarch vote he would be in prison.
Is that even possible?
That's an understatement. They think he's a genius.
Many actually think experts, scholars, and professors are actually incredibly stupid. They truly do see themselves as superior to them.
I work with a 50+ woman in a factory who only gets "news" off facebook, believes all experts are idiots, and didn't know what fascism is. Worse, yet she tries and gives people with life and financial advice despite having filed for bankruptcy twice and having 4 failed marriages. ALL 100% TRUE!!
Their inability to self-reflect is staggering.
It really is!
Because they know their beliefs do not bear examination.
I've begun to wonder if many have become so delusional that they believe their own BS at this point. It would explain why so many Conservatives think the economy was horrible under Biden and is now somehow better under tRump. Otherwise, it's completely nonsensical.
One of my neighbors who is full-on MAGA told me that USAID was a worldwide transgender operation whose purpose was to change children’s genders. And this was why Trump had to shut it down. When I told him the agency was promoting America values and feeding the hungry he said I was crazy.
But a transgender operation? 🤯🤯🤯
MAGA will believe anything! It’s sad!
Sadly, this doesn't surprise me. My supervisor at work is a HARDCORE Xtian Conservative and believes Covid was fake and that the moon landing was also fake.
Yup, all voices, even the most ridiculous, demand to be taken with equal seriousness, and any claim to the contrary is dismissed as undemocratic elitism. People glance at WebMD or Wikipedia, and firmly believe they know more that the experts. It’s crazy!
They've done their "research".
Well look at where he is. He defeated all of the people they hate. I don't understand it myself, I know people who joined the cult but can you see how they would think that? How did we get here?
It is a means to an end for all of his enablers.
When you value tribalism and racism over your own self-interest.
They literally light their own shit on fire to "own the libs".
Hatred of all non-White people is the tie that binds his cult members together.
Sadly, it serves us right. So many idiots didn’t vote, or voted third party. Some even wrote in a name!! Elections are so important. Hoping people learned their lesson. Also, hoping we will have a country by next elections.
Many did vote. Over 8 million votes were thrown out last election. From voter suppression laws to illegible post marks to culling voter rolls. How many swing states elected a Dem senator and then voted for Trump? Make that make sense.
I wouldn't vote Dems down ballot and Trump at the top of the ticket. I'd vote for a write-in before the Antichrist
It doesn't pass the smell test. Neither did his "assassination attempt".
Yeah but 2 had to die and 2 others injured (not counting Trumps fake ear injury), if it was faked. Just a couple inches to the left is all we needed
His ear was not shot. There is no sign of injury there whatsoever.
When cousins fuck cousins...
I guess as long as your IQ is negative, all's well🤪
The left side of the Bell Curve should start with negative numbers.
$2.21 for petrol? I paid £1.33 (and a pound is more than a dollar) at my local filling station yesterday!
That’s a gallon as opposed to a litre.
Currently here in MA, it's about $2.67/gal (almost 4 ltrs).
In france it’s currently €1.65 a litre. In the uk it’s £1.38 a litre. Still way more expensive than the us
Some of the cost of gas in the US is taxes attached. In MA it's 37 cents out of that $2.74. In the UK, roughly 65% of the price of the gas is from taxation. I think that's a good thing, because:
I know what you mean. I just sanded and refinished a water damaged area on my hardwood floor and it made me happy and satisfied.
The red hats are all the sign you need.
Let us down some more, please.
Eric Hoffer's The True Believer is a must read.
Agreed. Tyrants attract cults of believers who are immune to rationality, but are massively zealous.
It's exactly the same as religion. Same mindset. Suffer now for a glorious, undefined future with no timeline.
Or, you could suffer now with NO future.
🎯👍
Most of them had no idea. They might have experienced economic problems under Biden.
It's hard to believe that's possible, but here we are.
Are stories of tRump voter regrets are being suppressed? I was reading recently about a man in PA who voted for the 1ST TIME in 2024 for tRump. He's been eligible to vote since 1980... He voted because he was upset about trans people & cannabis being legal. Luckily, he said he'd never vote again.
And it's a wrong belief that the GOP would be against cannabis. As long as they can earn money with it, they're for it. Look at DeSantis
And he’s surrounded by yes men. What could possibly go wrong
Anti Christian 👿
I teach 5th graders. Please don't insult them.
All of these traits make Trump the battering ram of choice for every billionaire who thinks only of the US government as an obstacle to their plans.
You forgot he's incapable of doing basic maths.
My 4yo speaks more clearly than that shit stain.
I take no delight in saying this, but you are absolutely right.
He's a narcissistic psychopath. A dumb one too. No wonder he hates Harvard and Universities and Law Firms and Judges and . . .
And, FWIW - he seems to be contagious. Everyone who comes within range of his TV seems to be infected with their own zombie-transforming disorder.
I agree with your characterization however listen to this podcast - Ashley Parker surprises with “her dinner with hitler” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
But he’s a top notch barking con artist
He gets all his information about the world around him at a poisoned lizard-brain emotional level from TV shows and movies. He has exactly one set of social skills based on a fight-or-flight limbic response -- mostly fight, to dominate, manipulate and humiliate others to prove he's not "the loser".
That sounds like my father, who btw, voted for trump
He doesn’t care who he hurts as long as he’s hurting someone.
Yes, he's also a sadist.
I would say he's on the level of a 13 year old boy. Middle school insults and a bad case of Dunning Kruger
He is living in the 50s....
Eventually, after Trump is discovered wandering along Pennsylvania Avenue at 3 am, half-naked, raving about tariffs and brandishing a five-iron, Jake Tapper will ask how nobody noticed Trump was nuts.
Trump, brought to us courtesy of the oil industry, mega-media companies and tech bros. Oligarchs who use their wealth to inflame racism and hatred of “different” people like transgendered people. Nasty people like Karl Rove and George Bush, who used gay people as pawns for electoral gain.
And amoral monsters like your ex- wife. What an awful human being she is. Over the years you played your role in enabling the GOP, but I genuinely appreciate that you have a moral core and have worked hard to protect our democracy.
Trump shares most of those traits with the voters who elected him; he may be the problem, but he's also a symptom of a larger problem. The fundamental character of the US was set 400 years ago, and as much as we have tried to rise above it, we have never fully succeeded.
these are all strengths to MAGA voters
And America said thank you sir may I have another
RE: «his mental capactity deteriorates with each passing day». Couldn't have phrased it better and I agree 💯 with that statement I posted it often and I'll repost again and again... Trump's cognitive system is limited to nothing more than a tiny gangrened shrinked tiny miny membrane 🧠🤏 full of 💩.🫡
The fifth graders I know speak better.
What gets me (and the rest of the world) is that there have been no questions as to his education, mental ability and IQ (as well as all the other factors mentioned). We simply can’t understand why it’s not been addressed since 2015 at all by the media and Senate. The guy is functionally illiterate
1000% this.
And he is cheered on by JD Vance and Stephen Miller
And these are all his best qualities.
This is something normal people have realized for years, and maga never will.
And unfortunately he has the entire Congressional Republican group of cowards and seemingly traitors for their own refusal to uphold the Constitution as required by their oath of office. Instead they grumble and manipulate the only branch still working on the side of Americans
He trusts only his instincts- shaped by the influential figures in his life. Roy Cohn, Jeffrey Epstein, his father Fred and the other powerful men who saw decency as a vice, and wealth as a license to do as they please.
Sure, but Trump has good qualities too. For example, *thinking* *thinking* *thinking* … *thinking* *thinking* *thinking* Nope. Got nothing.
We can disparage his character and diagnose his disorders all day, what’s at the crux of all of the corruption and deterioration of our country is the lack of upholding the rule of law.
Well apparently, Jake Tapper likes that about him.
I agree w other comments: T* speaks at between a first & second grade level - peppered w vulgarities.
Trump has a shockingly tiny vocabulary!
Like everything else according to Stormy. 🤣😂
All that is true. He’s clearly incapable of running the country (for all those reasons and because he sees the Presidency primarily as a money-making opportunity). Which begs the question: who is pulling Trump’s strings?
Miller.
Please Please Please don't insult fifth-graders with such horrible comparison! Most of us were more adult than that IN FIRST GRADE. And my sincerest apologies to first-graders everywhere. I very much doubt he has enough DNA to qualify as Neanderthal, let alone anything more advanced.
Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham described him in similar ways before going over to the dark side.
Vehemently agree with ALL of the above. 100% true and accurate.
And yet the media is still critizing Joe Biden?
I don’t think he’s capable of thinking. Period. He operates with the oldest, least evolved, reptilian part of his brain.
And his narcissistic personality disorder ensures he will never learn anything because everything he thinks is already perfect.
Double amen that.
These tariffs are the mob boss in chief’s tool to force acquiescence from foreign countries and businesses alike. Such fragile ego and need for attention.
And that's the good news.
And millions vote for him. I’m very concerned with the mental health etc of our citizens.
Especially when they knew he was a convicted felon.
You should also be concerned about the educational system in the USA and people's inability to filter information. IMO, that is one of the biggest reasons he's able to keep his followers engaged. They follow along blindly without knowing they are being duped. It's really, really sad
Exit polls showed that the majority of Trump voters don’t consume any news sources & were uninformed on the issues. They voted Trump because of high prices & the border. Education won’t fix that.
Good point
we warned voters in 2016, many of them in our own families, but they dismissed us. Even George voted for Dump in 2016, he too was conned. As someone who grew up with a mentally disabled brother, still don't know how anyone with good conscience voted for Dump after he mocked a disabled reporter.
That should have been the end of him.
And I should add my own mother voted for Dump in 3 consecutive election cycles. Talk about incredibly ignorant voting, she birthed a mentally disabled child, and she can still support a man like Trump.
I'll never forgive or forget that Trump executed a mentally disabled woman in 2021 after he lost to Biden. The prosecutors even told the administration to not execute her. I'm not forgiving her crime. And yes her childhood was one of horrendous but a M.D. person was executed; eji.org/news/federal...
Close Associates, wonder why I can agree with Peter Thiel that democracy is wasted on the masses, look no further than my own mother. It's a sad shame. I warned her in 2024 they might come after her benefits, and her reply was - I guess if that happens, I'd have to live with less.
I countered; that or how about you don't vote for the guy & the party who will hurt you. She still did not listen.
My father is a very enthusiastic Trump supporter and remains so. What really blows my mind about the MAGAts is that even now with all the problems right and left they continue to make excuses for him and pretend he knows what he's doing.
Doing anything else means admitting they were wrong. Many humans just can't do that.
It's a cult Jim - you can't convince them otherwise. I think of two movies; John Carpenter's "They Live" and Ron Howard's "A Beautiful Mind". I want to wake these folks up but it seems near impossible. But again, how did George Conway get conned into voting for and 😭 when Trump won in 2016.
It takes intelligence to be humble and admit wrongdoing.
I’m pretty sure he’s going to have to almost literally burn everything down before his base will admit that he’s not working out as they expected.
And even then they will blame the democrats, Biden,Hillary, Obama for forcing trump to burn the country to the ground.
Absolutely. They’re doing that already.
And even then....
Or they will claim it was a necessity to “cleanse” the country. It’s all incredibly bewildering, infuriating and sorrowful all at the same time.
And women! look at the 27 year old lying Leavitt so brainwashed
It's the attraction of power. Leavitt has been given a position by Trump that she would never have been given in any normal administration be that republican or democrat.
Do not be fooled, Leavitt, Nome, Rubio, Hegseth, etc, etc - they all are fully aware the damage they are doing, and they've decided it doesn't matter if the pursuit of their own bad objectives are to be served.
I find the mental gymnastics both fascinating and horrifying.
I’m saddened when I realize that is who these people are at their core.
Watching as they go around a table built for discussion and lie about his abilities, prowess and accomplishments leaves me baffled. Several at least know it is pure theater
It's mind blowing. Painfully mind blowing.
That is complete insanity. They have to be told that they are going to have feed the ego of the Orange Jabba the Hutt.
They'll defend him, but can't even give an answer why. It's truly amazing. I could never understand how people got into cults. Now I see people like your father (and my mother) and it's terrifying.
My mother also voted for Trump 3x. She now has COPD and was thrilled that Biden added her meds to the list of Medicare discounted drugs. When Trump ended that, she was ‘upset’ about it. But just rolled her eyes when it was suggested she shouldn’t have voted for that.
Wow, that’s deep cult behavior.
Unfortunately you can't use logic to get someone out of a position they didn't use logic to get into.
And she's a woman, who heard him say "Grab 'em by the pussy".
I am so sorry. That must be tough for you on so many levels.
My mother too.
Yep. And my dad is celebrating all of FOTUS's "successes". Sigh
I'm truly sorry for you.
As someone who grew up with a paranoid schizophrenic in the house, I truly dont understand how anyone sees him for anything other than what he truly is.
I loved this reply I saw this AM to a NYT's Blue sky post about people leaving the US.
So true.
People aren’t persuaded by lecturing. It usually confirms their beliefs. Ditto all manner of “logical” arguments. In general, people have to form a relationship of trust with the persuader to be open to change.
True. And when you're making a point with somebody, it's important that you leave them an exit because if you backed them into the corner, all they're left to do is either fight or cover their ears and cower. I, like many others, lead very busy lives, and I really don't have time for this BS.
Still, I must engage, because future generation generations deserve better, and I know if a fighter decides not to fight, then you only allow bullies to continue to bully.
Yes, & dump's descent continues & he's taking everyone with him. Lousy man, incompetent leader, absolute despicable conman.
But he's a maid roughly 3,000,000,000 so far with his crypto scheme and his investment coins. This is a grift at a level that no one else has ever pulled off historically.
Made
Typo hell - clearly using voice text while juggling life activities.
I call it nautocorrect. 🤭
Sister & cousin use "autocock," which is kinda crass but fitting.
#ETTD. Is it our turn?
It's not a mental health issue, it's bigotry and supernatural hypnosis that's driving the US to support a child predator.
Ditto! The American Electorate has never been more ignorant & uninformed than they are today!🙃
I’m starting to realize that. I’ve always been sus but lately it’s growing.
In the 2024 election, Trump's support among both black and Latino voters has increased. Four years ago, 8 percent of black voters cast their ballots for Trump, compared to 16 percent this year; support among Latino voters rose from 35 percent in 2020 to 42 percent in 2024.
That is largely due to all the propaganda back by Russia and Musk.
I even suspect now that he stole Harris' win!
#1A protects everyone.
Especially those who didn’t vote for him.
I’m worried about the quality of their education.
Yes. Same.
I’ve learned these past few years that half the country is as stupid as a box of rocks…
yup... America is now in the Age of Stupid.....
Indeed. Between AI finishing our thoughts and the cesspool that is social media we’re in for a very dumb period.
not to speak of having a fascist regime in the White House.... question, for everyone: would Trump be where he is today were it not for social media? especially Twitter that amplifies...... hate, division, racism, ignorance? and where you don't get suspended even for using the n-word?
Republicans & Democrats @democracydocket.com @housedemocrats.bsky.social In the cloak of night this bill was voted on, however, inside the bill was a small amendment turning #TRUMP into a #KING This is #TREASON. USA is a republic & has no KING Thanks #ANONYMOUS 4 sharing youtu.be/W5HhlZR7Ris?...
I mean it.... Andrew Tate used the n-word once... and as far as I know, his Twitter account is alive and well.....
But his makeup looks nice.
And the people ‘advising him’ are more stupid, lazy and paranoid than he is!
Those in his administration and in the GOP keep propping trump up since they have Stephen Miller and Russell Vought actually “running the show”. The fat orange guy only cares about golf and all things that look like gold.
And his tarriff philosophy is , those who pay me personally the most, get the lowest tarrifs.
So, what do you suggest we do? 🤷♀️ Seriously, you know all the players.😏 What weakness can be exposed & used against them?
And yet he won 2 elections. What does that say about Americans in general? Despite the rise in technology, we have become more uninformed & more susceptible to false information than when print & word of mouth were the only way to get news.
I agree mostly but I would put him at kindergartner level.
Daycae. Put him on a mat, with some crayons and watch his eyes light up.
Seems to me, JD Vance is polishing his shoes in advance of his ascension.
Unfortunately he is still perfectly capable to act on his deep-seated reptilian emotions fueled by greed and revenge.
He forgets words he should know, is confused and walking into walls. Nicky Hailey was apparently in charge on Jan 6th not Nancy Pelosi. But sure @jaketapper.bsky.social write about Biden when he never had those issues and wasn’t a threat to our country and democracy. 🙄Where’s the book on Trump?? 🤔
Hi, I'm conducting a poll to find out who Democrats want as their new Senate leader. If you're interested, you can fill out the survey form (takes less than a minute): forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ZpTXcNpDtw
That’s unfair to fifth graders, many of whom are quite well spoken and pretty good problem solvers
Correct on all counts. FOX News backs every lie and unfortunately this and Twitter are the sole source of information for many on the right.
I thought you were being awfully generous to rate him at a 5th-grade level vocabulary, and the comments posted here are unanimous in their agreement with that opinion. You were too kind! 🥹
Trump will certainly live long enough to turn the US into a failed state. Which will happen by the end of the year, I reckon.
I fear that is true although I have hope he won't make it to see how many dolls he gets for Christmas...
Not if……… "He who acts to save his country from tyranny, domestic terrorism, Project 2025, and radical right wing criminals, violates no laws.”
You have a good point there.
Well, I would like to take credit, but it’s not my point. Trump said “he who saves his country breaks no laws.” But he didn’t say what they would be saving the country from. I plagiarized his statement and gave specifics. I turned it back on him. Which is where it belongs! TY.
Still counts! 😁👍
Thanks!
True. I would like to have recordings of his actual speech in the Middle East. Dementia onset cannot be hidden or faked to be absent.
But yet the Republicans in Congress do whatever he says. Crazy people will act crazy, we know that. The supposed adults are the ones failing us.
I suspect he's doing whatever they suggest, provided he's making something on the side. They certainly will be because having advance notice of financial market impacts can be very lucrative. If anyone's losing, someone else is ALWAYS winning. The US economy now looks like a mob casino!
Everyone sees this on full display pretty much every single day. I guess his cult followers find this type of behaviour appealing, the rest of us - not so much.
When we hear him speak, that's the stuff that's in his brain — there's nothing else in there.
I think he is also manic-depressive. Not his fault, but it adds to the sulfurous brew that is his psyche.
Sounds about right, George.
His speaking level is far, far below that of a 5th grader.
He thinks foreign countries pay us money when he puts a tariff on goods they sell us ffs.
He’s dumb af. He doesn’t know.
Or does he realize that his fake conviction convinces his base that this is how tariffs work?
I'm unsure. I go back & forth with this. Presently, I think keeping his base bamboozled is what miller & vance (&, &...)require. Whether donnyjohn knows anything independent of his handlers is questionable 🤷♀️
He is a living example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
Yes. But Trump isn’t the disease—he’s the symptom. Chaplin saw it clearly: Greed hollows the soul and erodes empathy. He didn’t invent the system. He revealed it—the rot beneath the rituals. We cheered for wealth. We mistook hoarding for greatness. And now the mask is gone. #EndTimesFascism
Here is a proposed remedy that doesn’t involve taxation! We call it The Billionaire Program - check it out at orans.org - Give the Billionaires a choice: give away excess wealth above a Wealth Cap to other people OR either 1) go to jail or 2) leave the U.S. forever with no right to ever re-enter.
Your post is offensive, George. (to fifth graders)
We were all smarter in 5th grade
I can’t wait until @jaketapper.bsky.social ‘s book about this comes out in 2029.
I never thought I'd have to pray for our country, yet here I am.
My theory is that the project 2025 crowd will get rid of trump before the 2026 midterms.
And he's a convicted felon
I’m a 5th grade teacher and he doesn’t speak as well as any of my students. He would get an F in reading/writing/speaking for failing to provide evidence to support his claims and for speaking in incomplete sentences.
Former ESL teacher here - his level of English, vocabulary, comprehension, understanding and fluency are below that of an ESL 3rd grader with learning difficulties from an educationally marginalised community. He would fail across the board on all counts - even as a native speaker.
Dumber than a 5th grader. Yep!
Not a person that should get a parade but here we are.
It is unfathomable how we got to this point. Each day I am surprised once again by the level of stupidity he and his cabinet are capable of…the effects of this presidency are going to take years to recover from. The people who are going to suffer the most have already given/lost so much money!
Difficult to capture in one skeep. How about Shit Lips!
Perhaps you do an injustice to fifth graders!
You are 100% Accurate. And he has an unimpressive penis, which makes him soooo resentful. 🤡🥕👈🏼🤭
And the crazy thing is half the population love him.😡
⅓ Not ½ ⅓ voted for Harris ⅓ voted for von shitzinpants ⅓ stayed home
And 75 million+ 🇺🇸 fkn love it
Logic need not apply.
It's what the MAGA GOP & MAGA SCOTUS Gang have wanted: An Erratic, Neurocognitively Degrading, Psychopathic Unitary Executive.
Yes, he’s textbook Sociopath.
George nails it.
And those are his best traits.
But he fights
And sadly half of America ( aka Russica) had the lack of intelligence and personal character and voted Yes. Now the other halfish become collateral damage.
I could not agree more with the dead on accurate description of this, the idiot posing as commander in chief. We must keep fighting. We have to stand up to his idea of a “great America”. No kings!!Resist!!
A useful chart---and it will be more so when his popularity drops into the 30s. (Because Congress, out of self-interest, will act then.)
And Republicans still support him. They are all as morally bankrupt as he is.
Exactly, there is no point in trying to figure out why he does what he does
And yet he remains popular with his cult followers, which is about a third of a nation. We are screwed.
That is a pretty comprehensive summation. Personally, I would add simple old psychopathy to that list. Experts may disagree but I think there are signs there to call it such. I think where he claims to show empathy, it's fake eg for Jewish people.
And millions of Americans love him. What the hell is wrong with us?
He validates their racism, and that means more to them than anything, even if it means voting against their own interests. They are the poorly educated of America.
I think that just about covers it all, George. TY
He is a threat not only to America, but to the entire world. And millions of Americans still love this guy because they live in an alternate reality fueled by fringe groups on the internet and Fox News.
dyslexic anti social monster who has never faced a single consequence with an IQ around 85.
He’s not dyslexic. He just never paid attention in school.
I think it is one of his issues along with ADHD & oppositional defiance disorder in terms of educational/childhood diagnoses. I'm not the only one who sees it that way... www.newscompanion.com/2024/10/unde...
Trump has Sociopathic Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Don’t over analyze him. @gtconway.bsky.social has written extensively about this.
I wasn't addressing his adult psychopathy but you do you!
So by all means let’s keep talking about Biden. Trump is putting all of us in more and more danger with every passing day. He’s surrounded by people of bad faith and ill intentions. Our house is on fire and the people with the hoses refuse to use them. 🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔥
Rebellion & Removal is the only way to make this stop.
The media will NOT mention this because…I guess they’re afraid of losing access to him. Or maybe of a mean comment or mean tweet or something that might hurt their feefees. Grow a pair and DO YOUR DAMNED JOBS MEDIA!!!!!
Or a multi-billion dollar lawsuit FCC licenses yanked for broadcasters
The media is owned by Republicans.
Yet he is propped up by too many who know better what are weak of spirit and values!
Why isn’t the GOP screaming about this? Are they so afraid of him or just enamored of their ability to make the bucks while fking the rest us?
And jake tapper is making money off of the Libs when this treasure trove of senility sits his ample behind in the Oval Office. jake = magat mouthpiece. While president musk runs policy via his lords, the saudis.
Jake Tapper exposing issues with President Joe Biden does not take away from the current President’s credibility. Both can be a problem
You are too generous & kind. When will people finally wake up?
Simply stated, he is a sick fu€k who is destroying our country.
What a beautiful summary
CORRECTION: I have 5th grade grandson, he can speak much, much better than the Orange One.
My two-year-old grandson makes more sense.
Lol!
Same here, I'd say the orange shitgoblin is at a grade 2 level at best.
To be fair to young children everywhere, I was able to form more coherent sentences when I was 5. So was every fellow kindergarten class member.
My niece in kindergarten has a better vocabulary.
A child's vocabulary is often tied to how much they read/are read to. Basically, it's exposure to lots of different words and sentence structures that really help a child build their vocabulary and language skills. Which definitely tracks seeing as a certain orange man doesn't seem to read much...
Agreed. She has had the good fortune of having been read to a lot and of having adults in her life who are educated and engaged with her. She’s reading up a storm now. 💕 Your cheeto stain in chief doesn’t seem to have had that kind of nurturing.
Didn't see this before posting my somewhat similar comment. I salute you and your niece!
“Orange shitgoblin” is one of the best nicknames for him. Chef’s kiss!
Thank you 😊
No truer words were ever spoken.
He is not living in the XXI century.... that's for sure
You are literally describing my brother. A sociopath, a narcissist.
Tbh that is insulting to 5th graders.
None of his supporters care because he allows them to be cruel and greedy without consequence.
Yet he has ~80-90% approval among Republicans. Listen to today’s @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social focus group pod; they’re thrilled with his”agenda” & all he does. They call themselves conservative.
Anyone who supports Trump is not a real conservative.
And they believe firmly that cutting taxes by definition *reduces* the debt (in part because they expect that to raise GDP). They don't sound like uneducated people at all. I badly wanted their response to some matter-of-fact means of challenging views like this.
Great dancer tho...

The Hand Job a go go
Trump is evil.
People keep forgetting this. But at this point, it did not seem to matter.
I can understand why maga likes him. But I will never understand those who intellectually know how wrong this all is, but are willing to vote for him because their love of money supersedes basic decency, morality, any shred of concern for those less fortunate. Shameful and disgusting.
I think he’s also a sadist. Not only doesn’t he care how many people suffer and die, he enjoys it. They say it is a cult. It is a cult, but I’ve read it’s a shared psychosis. His followers believe anything he says, and he brings out the absolute worst. The cruelty is absolutely the point!
Impeachment & 25th amendment were the remedies for this type of situation. But with a rogue R party & inability of Ds to anticipate the extent of fuckery, the legislature has been neutered & incapable of defending against an executive branch coup. Recall this is thnx to SCOTUS so wht can we do now?
I realize a political solution is needed but will the Senate deliver by stopping the Big, "not so" Beautiful Bill as Step #1? We will need many more steps to protect our citizens, including how do we ensure the next election can take place and is fair? The last one in Nov24 was stolen by #MyopicMusk
And is Republicans mascot weak low lifes
All true. But he’s a racist and that is apparently OK with millions of Americans
Yes, he validates the racism of millions of voters and their racism means more to them than anything.
These actions are exactly what a Russian asset in this position would do to help dismantle our country.
In other words, he’s an idiot
oh, he can act normal, for two sentences.
The sheer stupidity seems to be viral as his cabinet is now infected as well as the Republican establishment. Protest from afar
In other words, Trump talks out of his ass.
It’s all about blackmailing countries to pay Musk
So you could stay out of jail because you are a convicted criminal. We get it.
2026 and 2028 elections will have fewer democratic safeguards by comparison.
You won your own rigged election thanks to Elon Musk! Besides how money has Elon stolen from the country since 1/21/25?
Musk is dirty . He has to steal and destroy in order to advance . He has done nothing on his own…also without Putin Trump would of had nothing Putins regime bailed Trumps failures out in the 90s and created and covered up almost all Trumps sex scandals with Epstein until others started speaking out.
Best way to explain him. He’s like a seat cushion in the Oval Office. His outward appearance is shaped by the last arsehole that leans on him.
But the so-called president gets a jumbo jet as a gift! Isn't that special? Crime pays. Stupid gets recognized. America is doomed unless Congress wakes up from their coma and impeach the convicted felon.
And the knowledge of his base is below minimal.
He is the biggest sufferer of Dunning Kruger of them all! He is their king! King of the idiots 🤣
Aluminum smelting.....we couldn't find an American to own it? Nah, we gonna give foreign company/govt OK tax dollars 🫠 America First
🤪
Well, illogic is logical to this administration.
1/2 CLOSE. But fixed now. “Just so I'm fully understanding. If Apple makes an iPhone in India to sell in New York, AMERICANS get a 25% penalty charged. But if Samsung makes a Galaxy in South Korea to sell in New York, AMERICANS get a 10% penalty charged?”
2/2 THIS part is spot on: “So we're giving a 15% price advantage to foreign companies?” “And this is to Make America Great Again?”
Traitor Trash Toddler Tyrant Trump's Terminally Treacherous Tariffs... #FAFOMAGA
When was it about 'The People'. It's blatant profiteering on a colossal scale. Manipulation of the markets, accepting jet planes, allowing an unelected fraud to enrich himself further by removing any checks and balances. You all voted him in though...
I think starlink voted the fucker in !💕🌎
Just to be clear, I wholeheartedly support you all in this desperate time...but it may just take people losing thousands of dollars to fund the super rich, and Medicaid cuts to the poorest in US society to make them see that perhaps they should consider voting carefully next time.
Or maybe they should just get off the couch and vote
Same here.
Same.
He's the embodiment of his supporters, and if not stopped, will become the worst disaster in human history. Period.
He said last night that other companies, like Samsung, will be hit with phone tariffs too. It's so great when policy is created by spontaneously pulling things out of your ass with zero thought for the implications.
Donald's manipulating the markets. Again. youtu.be/BYQp66l0PPM
I was thinking the same thing.
My dog has better attention, problem solving, rationalization, planning skills than the Fat Bastard.
minimal knowledge relating to the orange blob is flattering, he knows nothing.
Let's see if we can make this make sense... A majority of voters, who obviously lacked true Knowledge, chose to replace an experienced elder wight man with a lawless lying palefaced brute beast instead of an educated highly qualified Woman of Color.
Men either stayed home or voted red to elevate a rapist over a woman. That also happened. And I can’t explain how that feels to survivors of rape.
Rapists support rapists...birds of a feather flock together... Same practices as during Chattel Slavery showed they weren't men but brute beasts...all their actions especially against the women of color erases the necessity and/or the desire for survivors to have these brute beasts in their lives.
Who needs to think rationally or weigh evidence, when you have Trump's gut!? 😵💫
You know those theories that if you gave a monkey a typewriter and infinite time, he would write a Shakespeare play? I prefer that monkey as president over trump.
Monkey all the way.
We have a criminal. Big difference.
This sums him up quite well.
Hey everyone.... BUY APPLE STOCK ON TUESDAY , HES GONNA CHANGE HIS MIND AFTER THE BREAKFAST DIAPER CHANGE
Almost perfect description of the orange buffoon George except for one thing. Just take out the words “relating to governance and economics and world affairs” and it will be perfect.
That’s a nice explanation George but there’s a much simpler one; the man’s an imbecile
Weak pathetic imbecile = trump
Trump is always seeking kickbacks. And he's supported by snakes who only value their own fates in any equation "to please the boss". The whole crime family is parasitic.
Another clear example of him lacking the intelligence for a clear thought-out plan. Winging it only works for so long
It seems his foundation in geopolitics comes from having played Risk as a kid.
Respectfully I disagree. Everything is logical when you consider his only drive is to enrich and glorify himself or vindictively punish percieved enemies and even neutral parties who won't bend the knee. He's also catastrophically stupid
Perceived!
Its almost like the FOTUS has ZERO clue how manufacturing and tariffs work. I mean, how many bankruptcies has he had, again?
Trump grabbed America by the Pu**y…you know…they let him do it because he’s Famous!!!
Ah, but Samsung probably sucked the Royal Appendage, and Apple didn’t….
Accurate
💯‼️
Yep!
This is why I didn’t vote for Mitt and made my first Democratic vote for President Obama. Damn I miss him.
Name a private equity firm that increased employment.
Your government population is shrinking.
Where is there increased employment??
He’s not a President, he’s a convicted Felon.
And they said Biden has mental health issues.... Trump is not even on the same planet.
Mr Conway, You could have stopped at ‘he never thinks’— And sadly, being the sociopath he is, he couldn’t care less about the devastation he is creating. It’s all about power and amassing as much money as possible. Uglier still is that he’s SO vile he promotes lies.
The orange turnip has absolutely no knowledge about anything. He is 12 bricks short of a load.
Imagine being a Trump voter, with all that entails. What kind of existence would you have to have experienced to look at Trump and then vote for him for POTUS? How hate filled and small would your world have to be to find your own identity in Trump?
Republicans & Democrats @democracydocket.com @housedemocrats.bsky.social In the cloak of night this bill was voted on, however, inside the bill was a small amendment turning #TRUMP into a #KING This is #TREASON. USA is a republic & has no KING Thanks #ANONYMOUS 4 sharing youtu.be/W5HhlZR7Ris?...
What is it that Trump has against Apple? Does he expect US companies to trade unprofitably to make America great again?
Not to mention, producing I-phones domestically would DRAMATICALLY INCREASE their cost!
But, we, as Americans should always be okay w/ this if it ensures fair wages & working conditions, and quality. Few Americans seem willing to pay for this scenario. So, Americans share some blame along with corporate greed*. * Noted that iPhones, specifically, apparently have huge profit margin.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's not how economics work! The wages to afford said phones would ALSO need to go up by 3.5X!! Which means ALL GOODS would go up by 3.5X!! There is NO NET GAIN!
Your hypothesis makes the assumption that Americans buy only based on their ability to afford. Should work that way; definitely does not. (How many current low-wage workers do you see now w/ expensive iPhones. A LOT!) If workers were paid better, they'd be more able to afford American-made iPhones.
You clearly don't understand economics! When you INCREASE wages you ALSO increase the cost of the good. If all the materials and components in the product come from domestic suppliers who have also done the same the net increase of cost equals out to a ZERO net income increase for the worker.
You clearly don't understand what I understand (beyond your infatuation with an exclamation point).
So we should go BACKWARDS as a society? You're arguing for LESS.
Ah yes, because my use of exclamation points completely negates my argument. Got it! 🤣🤣
Maybe because it's nonsensical?
THAT is how American economics work.
And every reputable economics expert disagrees with you!
I'm fine with that.
But it also proves that you're an idiot. A person who thinks they're smarter than everyone around them. Just like every MAGAT out there!
🤣🤣🤣
Whoever is buying his crypto gets the lower tariffs. How else can he be generating so much net worth in <5 months? Extorting foreign governments, companies & helping fraudsters to beat sentences and fines, of course. And fricking Carter had to give up his farm for these turds who see this as fine.
He's cosplaying God with the tariffs. If displeased, you get your ass kicked. If pleased, a little less tariff for you...those who want to stay in business are queueing up to get on their knees and give him the presidential BJ. It's completely FUBAR
The extortion doesn’t end for an individual though even if they capitulate… look at Tim Cook.
Double talk just to say everything is gonna cost more
There are several MAGA out here thinking and saying … “You don’t get the bigger picture, you’ll see.” Because they themselves don’t get it, and can’t make sense of any of it, but are so cultish and prideful that they can’t admit that they fukt up.
Or the idiotic "someone needed to shake things up in govt" - aka not immediately affected by Shitler, yet. Then will miss Obama and Biden like the rest of us, not perfect but the lesser of the evils for sure.
The “bigger picture” is a Christian nationalist techno fascist state so I guess that’s what they want?
That explains the MAGA working-class voters. Those above that class (the Rubios, the Vances, the Congresspersons, et al) are blinded by ambition and simply using them/DJT for their own gains - be them political, financial, or both. Or, like the dumb-as-fuck MTGs, for the power trip.
They like what he's doing. They think people should be deported and jailed without due process. They are ignorant and filled with bigotry and hate.
Remember he has an IQ of 73.
you could have stopped that sentence at thinks
Minimal or non-existent?
It's disturbing that you think you have a president.
Did Tim Cook diss Trump and is this his retribution? I agree with your assessment but also, Trump seems to be out to destroy our nation. Guts USAID, State Dept, NSC, NOAA, EPA, etc., applies tariffs to our allies and trading partners, but not to Russia. Grifts, loves Putin and does his bidding.
Trump is doing what Putin paid for... destroying the USA Krasnov = Treason
2016 was a big win for Putin and 2024 was bigger. Putin is watching and loving every minute of this. He just hopes someone kills Dump and America blames the other side and the country spirals into full on anarchy. That will be the moment that Putin begins popping champagne in Moscow.
☝🏼
99% of media is complicit either kompromat or bribed. Khruschevs plan to a "t". And we seem to be waiting for spiderman or ben affleck to save us.
President Krasnov www.facebook.com/1276901682/p...
There’s no logic involved in Trump’s whims
The pillow would be meeting the face.
Remember when he couldn’t recognize his wife in a photograph?
I do, but MSM didn't make a big deal of it because they were covering the big story of Joe Biden's old age.
🎯
Every day it's like... "big news, Joe Biden is old!!" Still !!
Old people say & do wise things on our good days. On our bad days we walk around the house looking for our glasses & mumble obscenities. Biden had character, compassion & wisdom. Yeah, he had his public speaking failures. Despite that he managed to accomplished so many good things.
The 🍊 is just as old. Biden fell while walking once (someone else's fault) & fell off his bicycle another time, many people do. If that happens to 🍊, it would be the end of him! Joe is in great shape physically & mentally! People ask, what if he became ill during this term? We'd have Kamala!!
At least Biden even with a stutter at least can put a coherent sentence together and has a very good grasp of world affairs! I will take him any day!
So would I ! I just posted about people asking... what if he won in 2025 & then got prostate cancer? If he decided to step-down for that reason, America would understand & Kamala Harris would be POTUS!
Oh my goodness I just got goosebumps!
That would've been the more natural sequence of things. He has the sense to decide when/if it's time to step down. Everything would've worked out so smoothly!
Non fox news media is tanking for the fascism they see it as inevitable and want some of the spoils.
Exactly. But they have Wordle!
And I just want to say I don’t even really like Wordle. Spelling Bee, yes. Wordle way too often comes down to whether you’re psychic with the editor or not. “Fudge,” “Nudge,” “Budge”- sorry, you’re wrong! No, I’m just not psychic which one you were thinking of!
Haunt Jaunt Daunt Vaunt Taunt Gaunt
Spelling bee is a delightful escape. Wordle is a stressor.
What drives me nuts is that it so often comes down to sheer guesswork, no skill. Like when I’m playing with my 6-year-old granddaughter & she says “I’m thinking of a number” & I say “3” & she says “ No, you’re wrong.”Wordle makes you be psychic with the editor to succeed.
Connections is what stresses me out. A few days ago one of the categories was “features of a toothless whale “. Because everyone has that info at hand! Love Spelling Bee.
How do you chase away your readers by catering to people who don’t read at all? I don’t get the business model.
No shit. They think if they play “free” wordle they aren’t supporting the NYT. Nothing is free. The NYT is still making money. It’s just through ads instead of subscriptions. 🙄
Remember when he had to choose between sharks and electrocution? We are only 4 months in and he already deserves BOTH
He mistook a photo of E. Jean Carrol- whom he said he didn’t sexually assault because she wasn’t his type- for Marla Maples.
Yes—bizarre, incoherent, irritating. But fascism doesn’t rely on intelligence. It feeds on instinct, repetition, and symbolic dominance. Fascism isn’t a philosophy—it’s a script. You don’t have to understand it. You just have to obey it. And cheer when it punishes the right people.
Emotion & action drives fascism. It’s anti-rational.
I remember that. He was shown a picture of someone and he thought it was Marla Maples.
It was a photo of E Jean Carroll - a person he claimed was “not his type”, yet he confused her for someone he was married to.
Evidently that’s not important to Jake T and the rest of MSM.
No, it was that he mistook the woman he assaulted EJC and thought it was Marla. He remembers all his wives, and then when the time comes he buries them on his golf course for the tax break.
Donald is a “fart in the elevator get off at the next floor” kinda guy
Nah. He believe his farts are perfume. Probably sleeps in a hyperbaric chamber on an atmosphere of 40% farts.
If only Congress had authority over tariffs. Oh crap, they do. Do they know that? 😜
Nope, cuz they’re gutless motherfuckers.
That’s what happens with egocentric politicians.
5th grade level education at best. It was the most stringent curriculum he could absorb, and as far as his brain could develop. He majored in pussy, racism and cheating. 🤷♀️
The result - no doubt - of a "negotiation" with Samsung.
None of this is about making "America Great Again" it is only about increasing the wealth of KKKing $$Trump and his cabal. Sooner or later America will realize that $$Trump does not give a rats ass about the average american citizen. Did everyone notice his bit coin extravaganza Thursday night??
He told them what they wanted to hear and they believed him because they wanted to believe him. Now they have to pay. Unfortunately, so do we.
They think he’s playing 4D chess and their propaganda channels (which are most of them) and podcasts and newspapers and social media all reiterate that so reality seems like fringe panic, exaggeration and outright lies. CNN is still going on about Biden. We are in such big trouble.
The dinner was said to be really lame. www.cnbc.com/2025/05/23/t...
I hope at least it was Whoppers and fries so they all got those fancy gold paper crowns to wear.
What were they expecting? They were only supposed to show up with money, kiss his rear and leave.
Exactly right! He doesn't give a 💩 about any of them. He just wants their money. Likely, he found the cheapest caterer that wanted the notoriety of putting the dinner together so he could skip out on paying them while he blathered on for 90 mins about his same old tired nonsense, Biden, Dems, etc.
It's too late now. The question is how much damage does he cause.
Should replace we have with WE HAD then everything else makes sense.
Tim Cook and all his upper management minions really let all of their customers down when they gave Der Leader a million bucks to spend on his campaign. Then, Tim shows up at Der Leader’s inauguration. Tim Cook needs to resign. So does the board and management who supported Cook!
i think the cash was for the inauguration. or the library (which will be pictures of trump from the cartoonists who draw him as rambo.)
That’s what I would want for my legacy, instead of a Presidential Library, how about an online comic book that illustrates how f^cking stupid I am!!
Fuck Tim Apple!
🤯🤯
All examples of mental disability and decline. Will maga allow him to begin WWIII before understanding he is completely deranged & mentally ill.
He's impervious to new information.
📌
Great point!
YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN AND YOU HELPED CREATE THIS FFS
Was a Republican. Did you not see everything Psycho PAC did last year?
YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN SND YOU HELPED CREATE THIS FFS
And half the voters voters voted for him. What did they see? I know what I saw.
He got just under half of the votes. He only got a third of all possible votes. Small comfort, but I'll take it.
Winning!😐
Hey, I got one for ya. Trump wants to bring manufacturing back to US. We import a lot of precision machinery from Europe. Trump puts a 50% tariff on EU. Companies trying to get Mfg up & running in US now have to pay $$$. In a way this is free entertainment folks. Can’t make this shit up.
You’re assuming Trump has any semblance of the faintest inkling of what the hell he is doing. The only thing he is capable of doing is arbitrary.
He also thinks he's right.
It’s almost as if he was shit at maths… 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Remember, Don Junior was in South Korea this past week
Sequential thought. Thank you for pointing that out. Drives me mad.
And, so the rant goes, Harvard is admitting students who can't do math, according to Trump. Ain't that a hoot? 🤣
More importantly, Apple has stated that they can't get the engineers needed to produce phones in the US and that is why they stay in China. At the same time, our: rocket scientist president bans foreign students, who is the dumb one here?
Minimal or poorly informed. Rising authoritarianism worldwide inspired me to write an allegorical trilogy on the perils of fascism: 1) unnecessary war, 2) failed democracy & resulting climate crisis, & 3) racially-motivated subjugation. Check out The Antunite Chronicles. amazon.com/dp/B0B1JNBCTK?
You can’t educate stupid unfortunately
He thinks he’s the smartest person in any room. He’s usually the dumbest.
🤣 🤣
Forest; Trees
Is it within the law for a citizen to do a citizen’s arrest of Trump?
And the legislators who are supposed to check his sad self are either helping him on purpose or because they are total cowards. Shameless jokers.
Clueless sociopathic cosplayers. Your oppression is their profession.
He's a sock puppet. Barely even a marionette.
I think we are misreading the situation if we assume he is "in charge".
Don't even try to find logical reasons for anything Trump does. His followers delight in his "genius"of defying expectations and causing confusion and grief in those who don't trust that he is God's chosen vessel.
Forget minimum he has no understanding of economics at all. What I find truly amazing is that he graduated from Wharton how is this possible? I guess daddy had to but the school a building
OK, Wharton School is an MBA program, a graduate 2 year program. Trump never attended, nor did he ever earn a MBA from Wharton. I don't know why every Wharton Graduate isn't screaming it from the rooftops. TRUMP DOESN'T HAVE A MBA FROM WHARTON. He has a BS in Business from UPenn.
I don't really care except he has claimed he went to Wharton. I honestly don't think he went to Penn either and if he did he learned nothing. Thats about the only thing I'm sure if about his schooling.
💩 🤡 has several #BS in 🐮💩! #Bullshit #Captain of the #Century!
Does this mean Tapper has another book coming? Or is he just silent while our country falls apart and using his time as an anchor to “do research” and then tell us after the fact???
Yet another reminder that most people vote their identity, their feelings, or their grievances, rather than voting based on a careful analysis of the policy wisdom and execution prowess of the candidates before them. (... and this is true of most voters for both parties.)
All of his word salad transcripts are being deleted by the White House
Or never posted to begin with.
Not just his posted stuff All White House transcripts Official records that belong to the National Archives and the American people
belongs to in a world before he-who-shall-not-be-named. They don't want a record of what they did.
Along with not wanting ppl to know how cognitively impaired he is. Not that we don't know, but they're disappearing the proof.
The consumer always ends up with the dirty end of the stick. Pay 25% more for the iPhone made in China, or pay 100% more for the same phone made in the US.
100% may not be enough! But we all know that Trump is not the smartest but the angriest, especially if they don't obey his idiotic ideas! He has a need to tell each and everyone that he could do it much better, which of course is a joke as we all know that he does not have a clue. Just a smartass!
apple would have to create an infrastructure that would cost billions: a chip fab, a display fab, etc to get a truly "american" iphone. or maybe just an assembler of foreign-made parts, which would still cost a lot more than 100% extra with component costs + tariff taxes + increased labor cost.
What happens when the penguins make an iPhone? How much is the penguin tariff?
The same can be said for millions of Americans.
The phrase “engaging mouth before putting brain in gear” has a picture of Don Trumpleone to define it.
Dementia
Apple should threaten to move their headquarters to Canada or other country and call Trump’s bluff!
Nobody is better at math than me
In other words he's a fucking idiot!
😒🙄
Oh, he knows what the plan is- to distract, disrupt and thieve while people are looking the other way. He's an opportunist, masquerading as someone who is a politician.
“Minimal.” You are being too kind.
You're not the only one who doesn't get it.
Have we considered the possibility that the CEO of Samsung might have … you know … bought him a jumbo jet?
Government by grudge holding and vendetta Just what the framers intended.
Trump is so mentally challenged, the best psychiatrist in the world could retire on the amount of time spent to diagnose him🥶
In other words, dumber than a box of rocks, right? Flock of hens with a hawk overhead is more rational?
If I said, “Grifter in Chief,” even the Rebumblecons would be forced to admit they knew of whom I was speaking. Enjoy this acoustic blues song, “Grifter in Chief.” youtu.be/Rykn8TthZiI?...
The man in charge is deeply intellectually challenged. And, the people who work for him are not much better. The people who voted for him even less. THAT is what puts this country at risk in the future. Go ahead and put down higher learning, but that is where the 1/
most prolific critical thinking skills are learned! 2/
The Republicans are mostly in hiding.
In other words, George. He is batshit, dementia riddled and evil... all at the same time. How do we get him out before he kills us all.
ISO sharpshooters ...
One he didn't hire to murder his rally attendees to gain points. His ear healing was a miracle... 😏
I don't think his ear was really ever hurt. I think that it was a stunt, to rile up the believers. There's NO WAY, a bullet of that size hit his ear, & leave NO MARKS!!! It make ABSOLUTLY NO SENSE!! Even after he stopped waring the sanitary napkin, there was no sign of injury, his ear was fine!
It wasn't. Krasnov has a TV background, he knows how blood-packs work. He slapped behind his ear several times for it to work. The bodyguard had "blood" running down his hand while holding the cap. Everything was a stunt. So what if a dumb kid and anyone else behind the stage died? Shitler won 2024
That's because the kid got murdered thinking he was protecting Krasnov. How come no one in his family talks about it anymore? Where did his computer go? What was in it? Who contacted him? Why has no one at the hospital been talking?
SAG probably prevented unwanted news access
👍
It was rigged just like the 2024 election was rigged. All the swing states voted in his favor? No damage to his ear? I’m not a huge subscriber to conspiracy theories but ….. And no one is delving into either topic. No one challenged the results of the election and where is the medical report?
It's like a movie script. He always wanted to be a movie star.
He's not even good enough to be an extra.
They plan to remove his walk-on from Home Alone 2 because of the negative energy. He'll sue if they do... FFS
Out, damn spot!!!
You mean shit stain? 😏
Yes, I think there was something fishy with the election as well. And, the Democrats don't want to sound like the crazy election conspiracy MAGAts, so they aren't looking into it. This is unfortunate for us.
Experts are “expert” for a reason and they deserve to be listened to.
I think that in his sick, demented mind, at 2:00am, after his disastrous “$Trumpcoin” dinner appearance, he thought: I can make a killing on the market by threatening tariffs,then reversing PLUS I get to change the narrative of my corrupt ME trip and dinner. Insider trading plus distraction.
He's a simpleton who can't get beyond binary thinking. Yes/No Me (Me,me,ME!)/You Win/Lose etc.
Ah, but that's the beauty of AI - it can learn from his 'unique' decision-making process. After all, who needs rational thinking when you can train a neural network on chaos?
trumps base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is one subject - 'what's in it for me '......
Magamath, where 2+2=5, and just keep saying it until enough people believe that it's true.
I agree his logic and central processor need a lot of work, but the crazy fits into a plan: Destroy Grift Rule Project 2025, of course. I BELIEVE the regime is provoking violence, which will lead to martial law and cancelled elections. Keeping this in mind is key. Normality fails us.
He doesn't have to provoke violence, his minions will produce violence when he requires it. Remember the west coast riots, more proud boi than antifa about those rioters.
He et al provoke Minions produce
Least qualified man to be President in the history of our country.
George, we know this. Could you please spend more time on the likelyhood that The Felon and Elon rigged the election? No way America voted for this moron. That would be much appreciated. Yours truly, People with COMMON SENSE.
That is a reasonble suspicion that should be investigated as discreetly as possible (so as not to mimic djt and therefore be discredited) -- such as from election boards who have a duty to monitor. Problem might be what if it was proven? Truly, then what?
The courts will then decide. 🤓
That's funny.
So, just like the last one.
An economist looked at who makes the profits on an iPhone. Apple makes about $400, and the contract manufacturer, the touchscreen supplier, Taiwan Semiconductor, and a few other businesses make $1-5 each. The trade deficit when the phone arrives is $1000, but a US company makes nearly all of the $.
📌
Just like a true narcissist!
Not one person in his administration does math?
You could stop at "We have a president who virtually never thinks." Full stop.
Let’s let him cook! It should work out! I mean Americans will love waiting 4 Years for factories to be build in order for them to pay $2700-3000 for an iPhone!!📱 Let the greatest businessman in human history cook! He has bankrupted 2 Casinos and 8 companies!
You could replace the word people with electorate and be right way too often for comfort. That is why we are here, even if it is partially caused by the propaganda.
FU Trump!
He’s so stupid
This is a perfect example of how incredibly stupid Donald Trump truly is. I wonder if Tim Cook has asked for his million dollars back.
He’s just trying to distract from the Republicans Big UGLY Bill. Don’t fall for it.
Nothing makes any sense. If the Republicans can find legal loopholes, the Dems and the rest of us that are against the MAGA regime need to find the loopholes to get rid of the sycophants in congress who are not representing the people.
Trump cannot comprehend tariffs(a tax). Origin countries have always found ways to get their products to market while cheating the tariff originators!
George, Trump already running his brain at max and needs to say even that doesn’t produce much!!! Just not real smart! Makes you wonder about top of your class honors and Wharton Degree!
The Fat Bastard did not graduate at the top of his class or with honors. DiPrima wrote, “Professor Kelley told me 100 times over three decades that ‘Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had'."
I just love hearing that analysis don’t you!!
Yup. Have to tone down your intellect and IQ to -56% to fully understand it. 'Bout all we know is there is a grift in there for him somewhere.
Surprise surprise. He was like this when he was president first time. He was like this when he was a candidate. He's been incomprehensible buffoon his whole life. But let's elect him president and hope it will change.
Trump the Capricious Felon is so bizarro 😳 it feels like we’re living in a sci-fi movie written by Elon
It's very simple. Trump thinks he 𝘪𝘴 America. The only rule is to bend the knee and kiss the ring. If you don't do that, he comes for you. Just imagine he tweeted "I HATE TIM COOK!!!!!" That's what this is.
Plus: he’s dumb as toast.
Dumb as dirt, toast is at least appealing. Actually, dirt is also more appealing than he is. Dumb as dog doo doo maybe.
Yeah. I thought similar when posting. It’s also an insult to toast.
It is the Republican Great American Diminishment and it is going better than they dreamed.
Prince Clown Trump
He has been good at one thing—finding the most evil behind the scenes advisers on Earth. His ego is the front man.
My guess is they found him. He just thinks he found them...
I love Spencer’s point, but he also needs to realize that Samsung isn’t making their Galaxy phones in South Korea. The vast majority of them are being made in Vietnam. Samsung employs over 200K people at their fabs in Vietnam.
It’s the people that are supporting him that have extra agendas that are just letting him run a muck they could care less what he’s doing as long as we’re paying attention to him and not what they’re doing
Stoopid!
Many words to say ass and hole together..
That’s funny I get the same result! Aren’t we brilliant? & swampy is rather like a Red Dwarf - a dull,dense mass.
Trump Making America Garbage Again
Another way of saying it is that he’s an idiot.
Person, woman, man, camera, TV.
Yet so many of those in his inner circle absolutely refuse to admit to everything you have acknowledged, George. Why is that ? What do they have to gain? Or are they as damaged/broken just as he? Is this an example of society’s misfits banding together? The birds of a feather…..
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Yes, that’s what one would think. How much is a soul going for these days?
I think they (his advisors/influencers) are as "damaged/broken" but also highly ambitious, which makes them dangerous. They understand how easily he can be manipulated. Unfortunately, foreign leaders w/ ill intent know this, too. They just watch for his inner circle to present opportunity by f-ups.
Not a minimal base of knowledge…an imaginary one.
I want a president with an IQ higher than that of a salad vegetable
I want a president who is an actual president not a thief who conned his way into the oval.
He’s not calling the shots. His advisers are making the decisions and then Dementia DonOLD opens his mouth and counteracts what they just told him. Why? Because he won’t read the briefs or intel. And he can’t remember what they told him.
Indeed. For example, evicting all the Palestinians from Gaza and building a beach resort. I mean, my God, and not one word from the Republicans.
This is not encouraging George…
it’s all so whimsical. surely this is no way to run a business much less a govt
Let's be honest...absolutely nothing they are doing is making anything great again!
It is horrifying. But exactly what we should expect from a petulant child with spineless parents (GOP).
The slogan, "Make America Great Again" is being used for cover. I don't think his goal is trade policy. I think of it more as a shakedown of Apple, just like he's shaking down Harvard and the law firms. I hope US businesses can unite like the universities to fight the targeting.
Deere refused to be intimidated and moved a portion of manufacturing out of Iowa to Mexico. I don't think Trump's targeting of US businesses is really covered in tariff law, so Congress could rein him in, but probably won't. Maybe California's lawsuit against tariffss might help?
If Trump can intimidate Apple, he'll have a pretty clear path towards intimidating any business for political reasons. I agree that he's lacking in knowledge + acuity *and* I think his attack on Apple not about world affairs. It's about domestic domination.
If Apple does move the manufacturing back, there will probably be robots in that factory, maybe even robots manufactured by Tesla. I'm sure Trump would give incentives for that.
Maybe that would make for a new slogan: American jobs for Tesla robots. (Sigh)
Everything that he does is driven by hubris. He cares only about winning (in various ways: popularity, financially, etc)...and always believes that he is. He is very base and very transparent. #ClassicNarcissistic
Explain why the Roberts court can’t think rationally or logically?
The mental illnesses #trump is consumed by are innumerable. He is beyond rational thinking, but is following #project2025 and it's authors. #cruelty is his ONLY point
🎯 Spot on. Never seen anything like it with a man of his position and means. An aberration glued together like a thousand ill fitting puzzle pieces.👺🤬👺🤬
Wild fleeting images dance across the short circuited panel board like sharks, swastikas, dripping showerheads, iron domes, Ivanka.....
Don't forget Hannibal Lecter - such a great guy, that Hannibal Lecter...
Samsung phones are mostly manufactured in Vietnam. They are not very popular in China so Samsung shut down its factory there.
I may be wrong, but I still think it is cheaper for Apple to make their phones outside the US, and pay the tariff than it is to make them in the US.
it’s better when it doesn’t make sense.
He’s trashing Harvard, one of your biggest and most respected brands.
Constant moron alerts!! We have totally incompetent people running this Country. My only question is; how is the idiot CHARLATAN still in office? How are the FOX FAILURES LEADING THE MOST IMPORTANT OFFICES IN THIS NATION?
They are not. Their incompetence is going to lead to disaster eventually. Probably more sooner than later, UNFORTUNATLY for all of us!
His base of knowledge is old movies, Fox and conspiracy social media... And what his minders tell him.
And republicans in Congress continue to support him.
No, WE get a penalty charged for buying American. Still, yes.
Tim Apple gave him $1m. This is his way of telling Tim that it wasn’t enough.
Think plays dumb. Trump thinks in terms of what's helpful for Russia and other autocratic fascist regimes. Plus Trump's stock market manipulation using unreasonable tariff announcements is likely planned so his inside circle can make millions in profits within days. He is evil to the core.
Nobody has a clue what the 2 hour “conversation” fuckeduson. I mean focused on. Was it- Putin wanted cash. FOTUS hosted a cash only meeting w thugs & gamers. Putin gets $$$$ & FOTUS keeps a finders fee. Ukraine suffers 🇺🇦 😢
