“You know, we’re not supposed to be seduced that way, right? But I am. When someone’s nice to me, I love that person. Even if they’re bad people,”

“Republicans, judges, and justices,” Trump began. “They always want to show that they’re independent.”

“‘I don’t care if Trump appointed me, I don’t care, if it doesn’t make any difference to me. I’m voting against him!” Trump said, visibly annoyed.

“Cause they want to show their independence, you know, stupid people,” complained Trump.

ty, but jfc he's a racist

I can't stand listening to this man speak for an hour, do you mind quoting or paraphrasing what he said?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I'm paraphrasing, but he said:

  • The law for immigrants in the constitution was so slave babies could live in America, not the Chinese bringing 55 of their babies over.
  • Somalian immigrants, too many to list and it kind of blended because he was mumbling so much of it
  • Omar married her brother and steals everything
  • etc.

Also, I sped it up to 2x most of the time so I could listen to it.

God, I hate this man so much. Thank you for taking the time to write this up.

He's always fucking WHINGING. Even when things go his way in some fashion, he sounds like he's complaining. Fucking nepo baby who was fertilized from semen flowing down his mother's taint from her ass. That's why he's a piece of shit.

Like he may be cracking psychology and not like dementia or something with age or whatever.

I don't think I agree. I think people with advanced dementia can come in and out of lucidity and you end up with a little statement that sounds insightful and with his inhibitions on the floor it almost sounded genuine, but it's in there with a soup of confusion and he kind of "weaves" in and out of fantasy.

But he has always done that. It is not dementia it is his infinite stupidity doing that.

Idk. My grandfather passed from Alzheimer's and looking back on it. He never really called me by name even when I was a kid. I'm not sure he was always 100% exactly sure who I was, but knew I was cool. Looking back he may have been coping with some memory issues for a long time and it just got untenable.

But yeah, he's definitely been like this for a while now. This whole second term kinda. All the nicknames and stuff, might account for some subject changes.

[–] Greyletter@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Hes been like this the whole time. Dont excuse his bad behavior with health problems.

Make no mistake, they're curating how we see him like they did with Reagan. In reality he's probably as comprehensible as a toddler on meth.

If you have a hard time watching him, speed it up to 2x like I did, and you'll see what I mean. He sounds healthier than he looks.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Sounding healthy when you are at 2x speed does not sound terribly healthy to me.

Got it, thanks!

I skipped to a random part in the video and the first thing I heard was him talking about the resurrection of Jesus Christ followed by applause
