“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.

“I can’t get a ballroom approved. It’s pretty amazing, right? If I was a king, we’d be doing a lot more. I’m doing a lot, but I could be doing a lot more if I was a king,” he lamented.

Great work, MAGAts

And yet he's demolished half the White House anyway. Seems like the problem is here one way or another.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

He simply takes what he wants and fights everyone who tries to stop him. He's is the manifestation of a malformed human ego, completely selfish and out of control, even his own will can't stop his ego.

Is the business world it's often referred to as your Boss doing his Pelican tour (or other phrasing). THey Come in. Shit all over everything. Leave everyone the mess as they congratulate themselves for a "job well done"

Make him pay for the rebuild out of his own pocket. The money he claims he raised to build it should be donated to the People's Fund, to help fund healthcare, end homelessness, end poverty, etc. And those funds should be heavily audited, and Trump should account for every penny. Or else.

[–] Gurei@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not just a rebuild. Authentic restoration.

Only the best, make it expensive.

Anyone who doesn't understand that this fucker is completely out of his mind at this point will not be persuaded by any amount of insane bullshit he spouts.

Does anyone have the full video? I can't find it.

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.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 1 day 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.

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

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 1 day 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
