Has anyone done a supercut of trump vs trump yet?
He’s not lying though
hoo boy, now he’s cooked… his base will never let him live this down!
Oh, how I wish this was true
if it were his political career would be over in 2017 at the latest
The way he writes… It’s like he needs to keep reminding the world that he is the president of the USA.
Release the Trump/Epstein files

And what exactly will change then?
Don’t care.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
The Truth will set you free.
There’s no one more critical of current Trump than past Trump.
You make the mistake of believing that Trump tries to maintain a coherent narrative like the rest of us.
That’s not how Trump works: he says anything at anytime, and doesn’t care about contradicting himself or being fact-checked or anything. What matters to him is the instant soundbite. And the more soundbites, the better - what his fatass friend Steve Bannon calls “Flooding the zone with shit” so that nobody has enough time and energy to follow up on anything Trump says.
Trump has been doing this for decades. This has nothing to do with dementia and everything to do with his particular brand of shameless populism aimed at his simple-minded voter base who only care about the instant soundbites.
Seems like it goes way back. He tells people what they want to hear to get them to give him what he wants. Tax deals on development projects, investment in stupid businesses, any amount of stuff on a tab he’ll never pay, and eventually votes.
Yup. I’ve been pointing out inconsistencies for years now, and all I hear is “Oh, well, I’m sure he got some new info that made him realize this was the way to go after all.” or “He realized his mistake and changed! That’s better than you liberals who always say the same thing!”
It’s far too easy to explain away the lies of someone you’ve decided to follow through faith instead of reason.
It’s crazy how well it works. Like I know people in general are easily swayed by anything that sounds good. I just didn’t realize this many could be swayed by a guy that makes no fucking sense more than half the time. We live in bizarro world.
oh yeah. i used to get my jollies spreading verifiable bullshit on reddit and seeing what would stick. I’m not gonna say I grew up, but I grew out of that at least.
I always believed in democracy. But it turns out, government by the people is dangerous and inevitably doomed to fascist capture when the people are rętarded.
I’m not sure what the remedy is. When the alternative is authoritarianism, oligarchy, monarchy… I just desperately want the people to be better.
The relentless gutting of decent education and increasing the prohibitive cost of higher education is at the root of a lot of this.
The people in power need a populace who vote against their own interests. A typical person who can think critically and has media literacy is much less likely to vote in someone aiming to take away their own rights.
I used to think that but I know a large number of educated people who were a big fan, at least the first presidency… and I’m in Canada
This argument doesn’t hold water. The largest demographic backing trump is the boomers who have not been in the education system for 40-50 years. You’re telling me the pinnacle of our education system was before 1960? I just don’t buy that argument.
Should we improve our education system? Absolutely! Is it the single contributor to the worldwide authoritarian pivot of the last decade? No.
Remedy is education. It’s not easy, it’s very hard, but the solution is simple and obvious.
The remedy is to root out the fascism that lives to corrupt our once stable institutions of democracy. To be much more vigilant about it in the future, as this is certainly not the first time this has happened. It’s just the first time it’s happened to this extent in our country.
Democracy isn’t failing because of flaws i democracy, it’s failing because of laws in ourselves. For that’s what democracy stands for, and ultimately relies upon: people acting in good faith. When half the country refuses to do that, democracy simply doesn’t work. And they know that.
This is how autocrats, dictators, and fascists always come to power, they undermine a stable Democratic society by dismantling its key institutions, and then they point at democracy and call it a “failure“ just so that people who may not be too stupid to think, but are certainly too lazy to think, will give them power if they promise a solution to their woes. And that’s exactly what Trump has done.
We must fight back, in every way we can.
Edit: spells and grams
Majority rule don’t work in mental institutions.
Yeah. I still find the idea that government derives its just power from the consent of the governed and from nowhere else to be a pretty compelling idea in theory, but if this is the practical outcome, well, it sucks.
I don’t have a better plan. I wish I did.
Another boomer imperative Trump operates on is the misgiving if you piss people off, you must be doing something right. I’ve heard this nonsense spouted by so many boomers in my time. That’s where the whole ‘piss off the libs’ thing comes from. It doesn’t matter if what you do is objectively good or bad and it doesn’t matter if you did a good job or totally fucked it up. As long as people are angry, you are on the right track.
It’s proof that humanity doesn’t deserve survival that this works so fucking well
As a species we really need a reset. Another genetic bottleneck down to 10k people and maybe this time it won’t have narcissists in the gene pool anymore
All true, he also has dementia. Not as bad as Joe did in the last year of his presidency, but he definitely has the beginnings of it. It might be because he’s also got other physical issues that cause pooling in the ankles, so his brain isn’t working at his usual whatever percent. But he’s not as with it as he used to be.
At this stage he is but a goddamn puppet for at least a couple dozen individuals and groups who want him to enact their own agendas through him.
or to spout so much, using the russian “firehose or false hood method” or banners filling the media with so much shit, they get distracted from the BBB and epstein files.
Every accusation is an admission …
In this case he indeed is a tyrant.
Surrounded by enablers and cronies who want their individual agendas to happen.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🪦
What’s with this “thank you for your attention to this matter” boomer shit
I saw that phrase on the end of a property management company’s sign in my neighborhood, so maybe he’s just reverted back to his landlord days in his head.
Where is that site that was trump disagreeing with himself?
I believe it’s called X now. Though I guess Truth Social is taking over.
Ok that got me a good laugh
May have crashed due to overload of data. There used to be a subreddit.
Trump criticizes Trump
It’s always different when you’re the boss
Pointing out repugnican hypocrisy only makes them harder b/c we can’t stop them from getting away with it
They have literally zero shame anyway so it’s pretty futile for anything but self-propaganda
