He wasn't the center of attention and didn't know what to do

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 60 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I am going to faint even harder than the other guy

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 34 points 6 days ago

I'm the best fainter. Everybody says it.

[–] thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Lots of people are saying I'm the best fainter. Nobody faints better than me...

[–] Klear@quokk.au 8 points 6 days ago

I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints, but I can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago

Lol, exactly what I was gonna say. He's so pissed that suddenly no one cares about him, and he's too worthless to be of any actual help

It really sucks being a sane American right now. Like yeah you should boycott the US because money is the only language they speak, but it’s people like me who are going to suffer for it. Trump and his buddies are going to be fine. Feel like I’m rooting for my own downfall.

[–] Sunforged@lemmy.ml 48 points 6 days ago

You and me both bud.

[–] tfm@europe.pub 43 points 6 days ago

Yesterday showed at least some hope for you guys

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 6 days ago (4 children)

At least I was able to vote in Cali for prop 50.

Please don't take this the wrong way, because I absolutely understand your position and the shitty position your in.

Trump IS your president. Whether you voted for him or not. At the same time, the government, or rather the way you are governed, is also YOUR responsibility. No one can change it but you and your fellow citizens. If you don't like your president, elect someone else. If you don't like the presented options, pressure whatever party you think fits into providing better options. If you fear, you won't be able to ever get a real vote anymore, then fight for your right! No one from the outside is going to come in and fix this for you. This is THE ONE responsibility that you have as a citizen....

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 46 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Yes, but, it's a responsibility spread across the entire population. If you've ever been apart of a group project in a school setting you're likely familiar with how people can fuck that up despite your best efforts. Yes you're also responsible, but you (imo) also get to bitch about how they fucked up your project.

Unfortunately, what many outside the US don't comprehend, is that this means waiting 3 more years. The last elections a couple of days ago already showed some change, next year's will have more of an impact, but unlike parliamentary governments with votes of no confidence and automatic elections when a budget fails to get approved, the US is all mucking around on a beta version of Democracy and shorted out the check-and-balance circuit breaker so it no longer functions. Best to keep up the strength, but just the same exhausting.

There is no magic button to remove the President as long as Congress/DoJ is useless, and removing Congress is outside the power of regular citizens as well. Only Congress can impeach Supreme Court Justices, so there's a no go there either. Turns out running a country for almost 250 years on a gentleman's agreement was a bad idea, who knew?

The US is 9.8 million square kilometers in size too, so it isn't like everyone can just overwhelm the White House and expect change. Worse, it isn't even the size. It's the survival. Healthcare and medication is coupled to employment, employment is coupled to showing up to work, many jobs have no concept of time off, and the ones that do often require months in advance notice. Lose your job, lose your healthcare, lose your mortgage, lose your car loan, become homeless and/or die. It is basically that simple for most Americans as the oligarchs in charge have run the population down to a paper-thin existence.

You can tell how bad it has become reading all the news reports about how many Americans are now buying groceries using buy now pay later or credit cards. Groceries are food. Basic survival stuff. On credit.

Of course, the path the US is on terminates in another (probably global) economic collapse, suffered worst in the US, so at that point it won't much matter.

Many would prefer it doesn't go down that route, however, or a 2A civil war, or the many other violent ways it could play out.

So one waits, and one hopes, while being extremely frustrated.

Trump just literally doesn't give a shit about a single other human. Not a shred of empathy in him.

Trump when someone tripped and fell in front of him at Mar a lago

So, you have all these really rich people, and a man, about 80 years old – very wealthy man, a lot of people didn’t like him – he fell off the stage. So what happens is, this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died.

And you know what I did? I said, “Oh my God, that’s disgusting,” and I turned away.

I couldn’t, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible.

You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed colour. Became very red. And you have this poor guy, 80 years old, laying on the floor unconscious, and all the rich people are turning away.

The highlight of this incident was Doctor Oz actually behaving like a doctor, politics aside.

Trump, meanwhile, showed leadership by... uhm... watching. He literally froze, for the love of god...!

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 43 points 6 days ago (1 children)

TBF that was probably the least harm he could do.

I mean years ago when more aware he bragged about how he couldn't deal with the site of blood, so this is in character for him. Probably not great with any crisis, we've seen evidence of that too. Weak. MAGA, this is what you wanted as a role model leader? Y'all are weak too.

Accidental Renaissance material.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 42 points 6 days ago

Thats why the GOP backed him to begin with, he's a useful idiot.

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 25 points 6 days ago

He’s definitely taking a shit.

[–] dariusj18@lemmy.world 34 points 6 days ago

This is def a new meme format

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

Let it go Donny. Walk into the light. Help yourself along the way if you need to.

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 30 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Setting aside the vapid moron on the left, what even happened here? Did somebody accidentally catch a whiff of Trump's fetid adult diaper?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

A man named Gordon Findlay got light-headed and collapsed. Whether it was due to Trump's rankness is unknown.

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Let’s just say it was! A lot of people are saying it!

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago

The best people, believe me.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 19 points 6 days ago

His puppeteer was on break...

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Irrelevant but why can’t this man purchase a bespoke suit? Surely our tax money could even provide him with a suit that looks like it actually belongs to him.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 29 points 6 days ago

He trained himself to look a certain way on television that he himself thinks looks good and hides the stuff he is insecure about.

Combined with being surrounded by yes man and being unable to deal with criticism.

Mental illness on so many levels.

[–] tfm@europe.pub 19 points 6 days ago

His suits cost thousands of dollars apparently, which makes it even more ridiculous.

Everyone astonished that someone would just poop there out in the open.

I think we know who did it.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

this should be his presidential portrait

[–] BackwardMonkey@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

He had a nice nap in his chair just before this happened, so he's a bit groggy. He doesn't know what's going on. Even if he understood the situation, he wouldn't have cared.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Actually listening to him speak for several minutes is horrifying. Reading excepts and watching short clips just doesn't get the level of dementia across. Seen the video where Japan's new prime minister has to lead him around? Trump's walking around, utterly glazed, doing the thorazine shuffle. If a cop saw me walking down the street like that, confronted me and found me in Trump's condition, I'd either be in jail for public intoxication or checked into the ER.

Really hard to watch without screaming, "Why isn't every media outlet on the planet hammering this home! The most powerful man in the world should be in a care home!"

First administration was bad enough, but he's so, so very far worse off now.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 days ago

I ended up seeing stuff from his first term and before. The content hasn't changed; he's still an old racist bigot. But the way he talks has drastically slowed. He rambles more than he used to. He's not well. Biden was too old for office. This guy is worse.

"One day it's all going to come out. I'll be dead but everyone will know what I did. History will show what I did to all those little kids...mmmmmm, little kids. I wish I could get it up so I could do some more raping.
I just farted.
No, wait, i shit myself.
Where was i? Oh yeah, little kids...wait, did that guy just faint when he smelled my shit? Oh yeah, I do the best shits. Tremendous. Many have said my shits are the best. Big beautiful bum burger.

Doobie doobie doo.

I wonder which other wing I can knock down?
May as well shit myself again..."
