Why create new news community? I'm tired of getting banned by crazy lemmy moderators under made up reasons for posting news articles (likely reddit subversive operation).
Also most of news communities are empty - this one will be full of content.
So i'm now creating my own community. everyone welcome, let's tear reddit down together.

Maybe he finally had to lay off the cocaine and other stimulants that fueled his entire life.

“Fears.”

I can't wait for the Big, Beautiful Obituary.

He is at the age where you wouldn't trust him to drive a car yet they have put him in a position where he can fuck up the whole world with one wrong word. The discrepancy between the regular and ruling class is so absurd.

He just threatened to send the military against the bond market, clearly he's a ok!

"Wha? Huh? I wasn't shleeping, I wash reshting my eyes, it's all fake newssxxxzxxzxx..."

He's a figurehead, not a functional politician. He doesn't develop policy, but dispenses it as it's provided to him. He needn't be awake at all to do his job, just alive. Barely.

I mean yeah, it's literally Reagan 2.0. They shut the lights off on that dude before the word salad slipped out for the most part but no one is kind enough to do that for Trump.

Nah it's totally normal for someone his age to sleep through a lot. When my old gramps was his age, he would come to our house to visit. We'd have dinner and after sit on the couch. We would chat, watch some TV, someone would play a videogame and the rest would watch. Every time my gramps got up around the same time, tell us he had a wonderful evening and went home. The thing is, about 1 min after we'd sit down on the couch gramps would fall asleep. Quietly snoring in the corner all evening. But he kept coming back every week, so he must have had a good time.

It's kind of adorable really, and the reason why I'm glad gramps wasn't the fucking President of the United States! Put your elders in the old folk home guys, don't elect them to any political posting.

your gramps sounds lovely, i'm also happy he's not being called on to lead the nation

Imagine a successor as authoritarian as Donny but with his shit together. Better he slumps on until election day.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 25 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Trump is too stupid to have come up with Project 2025. There is a team of traitors that worked at getting this guy where he is and are continuing to work to keep him there. Unless some serious cleaning up is done these guys will continue destroying the country long after Trump.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Yes and no.

The rich fucks have been fighting for complete control since the beginning.

The latest version of this shit started to coalesce when Nixon was forced to resign.

Reagan made the devil's bargain with the religious nutjobs, and Trump found that bargain and jumped on it like it was a 12-year-old.

The conman got a ready made cult.

The thing is, pedo supreme never learned how to share. He actively sabotages anyone who seems like a threat to the throne, and a successor is by default, a threat to the throne.

Trump has done real damage to the Republican party, which will make dismantling the fascist lobbying groups easier, not easy, just less difficult.

[–] officermike@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

But hopefully without enough charisma or cult following to get elected in 28

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 4 points 7 hours ago

Nah once he fucks off and dies the factions will start forming.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 hours ago

It's crazy how he's still alive.

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 19 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

This is FAKE NEWS! SLEEPY JOE BIDEN!

-People who LITERALLY See Trump sleeping on TV!

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 hours ago

They are both too fucking old for the job.

America, stop with the old man fetish, use OnlyFans, I'm sure someone will sell you a diaper.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 9 points 8 hours ago

When the most powerful man in the world keeps closing his eyes, Americans cannot agree whether it is focus, fatigue or something far more unsettling

Love “focus” here, I’m going to start napping at work and claiming I’m just “focusing.”

[–] elvith@feddit.org 4 points 7 hours ago

sleeps through literally every meeting

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 6 points 9 hours ago

Is this the end of our super villain Orange Pedo tune in next week to find out.

On the plus side, he can't leak what he wasn't awake to hear. Too busy leaking other stuff.
