People are saying that donald has aphasia, he can't pronounce certain words, due to either old age or disease (syphilis). It's sad that the republicans have no one else to run for president. I'm hearing that he should step down as a candidate and get the help he needs.

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 51 points 3 months ago

Maybe hes caught RFKs brain worms

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Maybe all conservatives have brain worms (could explain the powerful subconscious pull towards deworming medication).

[-] spaghetti_hitchens@kbin.run 12 points 3 months ago

They're the secret gift RFK was giving us all along. What a patriot.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

Well this sounds familiar, if only the name donald was replaced with some other presidential candidate.

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 79 points 3 months ago

Thing is, he already had the racist vote locked up. This hurts his prospects, which is fantastic.

[-] worldwidewave@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

At every opportunity to pivot and try to garner more of the undecided swing voters, he balks and throws red meat to the base.

That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for 'em

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah completely dumping the narrative that getting shot changed him and now he's a super nice guy now was about the dumbest thing someone could do. That narrative gave people permission to think "sure Jan 6 happened last time, but he's different now and that won't happen again".

That could've gotten some undecided votes. But as soon as he's front of a crowd he's gotta go back to being the asshole that the base (who were going to vote for him no matter what) came to see.

[-] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 63 points 3 months ago

To be fair, it probably doesn't matter whether he can say "Kamala" since he'll mainly be saying "President Harris" in the future.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 17 points 3 months ago

That’s a solid burn. Well done.

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I enjoy the joke, but it’ll probably be more like “supposed president kalamata” or just “the usurper”. Did you know he invented that word, usurper? Etc.

Don-OLD Drumph it is, then.

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Tromp

[-] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

I hate this man, and that's not a word I take lightly or use regularly, but damn if I'm not happy he at least didn't say "I could care less"

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 months ago

I haven't watched the clip, and won't, but I wouldn't be so sure the transcript is accurate. During the "Christians won't have to vote" thing there is debate that he either said he is Christian or he isn't. His speech is so poor journalists have to fill in a lot of words and often (inaccurately) correct what he said to be proper English.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago

I don't care if his VP pick actually fucked a couch either.

[-] PurpleTentacle@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

He certainly feels like the couch-fucking type.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

I'll take your word for it. I don't want to feel him.

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

Drumpf is back on the menu boys

That's a fair stance for someone senile with speech impediments

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 months ago

I'm so impressed he knows it's couldn't care less, rather than could care less.

My level of respect for him has not increased though

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

His comprehension of idioms really is something I could care less about.

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 months ago

It's literally consonent-vowel-consonent-vowel-consonent-vowel.

Sure some names are hard to pronounce right. But this isn't one of them.

They only make themselves sound like idiots when they deliberately mispronounce her name.

I think it's that old Napoleon saying about "when your enemy is making a mistake, don't interrupt him."

[-] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I think it’s that old Napoleon saying about “when your enemy is making a mistake, don’t interrupt him.”

That's Sun Tzu, The Art of War

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

But he's doing it on purpose. That means he does care, and he thinks it's funny.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Dementia donnie the convicted felon seems to revel in looking like a dumbass.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Evil old bully doesn’t care if he’s being a bully.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Toddler President strikes again

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 11 points 3 months ago

Hey Donal, try pronouncing it this way:

"Madame President"

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

If he called her madame, he’d instinctually open his mouth waiting for the stream.

[-] rickdg@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Tronald Dump so funny

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Ok, Damn Old Tramp

[-] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Fondled rump

[-] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Whatever you say, Mr. Babyhands

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 5 points 3 months ago

So it ranks right up there with not caring about anything else that doesn't get you some attention. At least you're consistent.

[-] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Ok, Troomp

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 5 points 3 months ago

Typical drumpf

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

We know dipshit, we know.

[-] spaghetti_hitchens@kbin.run 3 points 3 months ago

Wacky ole' Drumpf at it again

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Blimpf

[-] manucode@infosec.pub 2 points 3 months ago

What did Donat Tump say?

[-] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

The same could be said about him and the American people
