This is such a weirdly level response from him, which really shows how fucking insane things are right now.

It's like one step up from Joe Rogan disclaiming his own words because he's a self-proclaimed dumbass. It's a self-aware statement from an elderly man acknowledging the things he says may be wrong but he just doesn't care to spend his time trying to be accurate, but from a president and the center of a bluster-based regime it's shocking.

Immediate response of, "I don't know" was telling.

[–] wuffah@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago

The fucking President of the United States, doesn’t know who his country is bombing.

He also doesn’t care.

There’s video which people stopped to see it’s a tomahawk cruise missile. Definitely wasn’t Iran

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

that's why he's saying they have tomahawk missiles

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And you believe that?

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 days ago

No, the reporter is pointing out that if what Trump said was true, then Iran has Tomahawk missiles. That's absurd, so clearly what Trump said is bullshit

You mean the NYT video that shows a completely different (nearby) building being bombed? Don't get me wrong, I don't trust Trump either, but spreading made up clickbait won't help.

If more people asked more telling questions the obese orange child rapist would die a lot quicker from the inevitable heart attack.

Trump would lie about the time of day

[–] sandwich@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago

This lying ass liar just lies to lie.

What a liar.

Mr President, if you don't know, where does the buck stop? Is it with you?

[–] gjoel@programming.dev 5 points 3 days ago

"Why is it only you saying this?"

"Because I'm a dumbfuck"

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can't believe anybody allows this clown to get away with wearing any airs of legitimacy

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can't believe they let anyone push back against the god emperor

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Somebody. Anybody.

He seemed capable of following the conversation and being coherent. Even if he's an insane asshole.

I guess his dementia treatments are working.
