Imagine telling your son to stfu during what could have been a bonding moment to take a phone call from fucking Donald Trump who will complain about sharks and black people for half an hour. lol, lmao.

Under no circumstances do you have to hand it to them etc but fr sometimes you need the 7 year old to shut up about Pikachu

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 66 points 3 months ago

unlimited 7 year olds talking about pikachu on the first world

[-] quarrk@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Pokémon go to your room

[-] crime@hexbear.net 46 points 3 months ago

in my experience if you let the 7-year-old infodump about Pikachu for as long as they want at least once, you will be immediately become their favorite uncle and possibly favorite person

the percentage of adults that treat children like people is sadly very low

[-] Aradina@lemmy.ml 31 points 3 months ago

Pass on our congratulations then

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

I bet he felt real good about it

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago

It was very funny when his younger brother tried chiming into the screed and was immediately shushed because he still had much to say.

There’s lots of healthy and affirming ways to get a 7 year old to shut up about Pikachu. Redirection is just a skill that parents need to practice. And apparently Vance has a major skill issue.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

Yeah there are way cooler Pokémon, like 10% Zygarde, or Corvisquire, or Lombre, or Lumineon, or Alomomola, or Simisage, or Wugtrio

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 66 points 3 months ago

Imagining that Trump on the other end just discovered Pokémon and is also infodumping about Pikachu to Vance

spoilerI just had a perfect phone call with Pikachu! Great guy. Some people are saying he likes ketchup very strongly, possibly even more than me. And we like that! We like that. Great work ethic though. They're doing thunderbolt! People say, "oh but what about volt tackle?" and I tell them it's a pretty good move too, but you just can't beat the classic thunderbolt. Who knows, Pikachu might be our next Secretary of Energy. Frankly, he has as good qualifications as Rick Scott did, and nobody knows electricity like Pikachu, I will say that. But Raichu has been treated very unfairly for many years, and it's sad. They went to Aloha or whatever and taught him how to surf, but I said "well what the hell, Pikachu does surfing since the little minigame in the Yellow! Just give Pikachu the light ball, who needs the new Raichu!" But we are doing great things with electric, I will say that.

one more Trump talking about Pikachu shitpost I feel compelled to get out

spoilertrump-anguish bojo shocked-pikachu

I went to Galar to meet with the great Boris Johnson for a tremendous meeting and he showed me this incredible thing, they're calling it gigantamaxing. You know what this is? They go bing bing bong on the dynamax band and then, wow, let me tell you! I saw Pikachu do the gigantimax, I turned to Boris, I said WOW, what a big guy! But they were very unfair to Boris over Galarexit, very unfair.

[-] gwysibo@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

funny but there's no way donald trump hasn't known about pokemon since 1996

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

Either he's known about it since the absolute beginning or he was completely unaware of it until Barron was 5yo. No in-between.

[-] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

They changed it in the west from Green to Blue! They took the money color and made it the Democrat color! Not good! I'll stick with Red.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

I'm imagining Trump explain how to breed pikachus

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 55 points 3 months ago

For someone obsessed with people having kids, he sure seems like a bad dad

Which might be connected, idk

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago

You'll remember this important phone call even when your son dumps you in the cheapest retirement home legally possible
