Fred Trump's dementia is the gift he gave his son Donald and the American people. Seriously outside of a couple people that whole family is a net drain on humanity
"Friends"
Obviously nonsense. He doesn't have any friends.
This is going to be an even more interesting time in the coming weeks. When animals are cornered, things get very ugly. And we're beyond ugly already with almost half of Project 2025 implemented already.
He had so many ways of consolidating his grasp on his realm without looking like a total buffoon. That alone gives me hope.
The one thing that might save us is the MAGA obsession with forcing their virtuosic incompetence on everything and everyone. Their inevitable failure is built into their system.
Meanwhile, anyone with competence and experience is now playing for the opposing team, so if the Dems can manage to regain power, they will have a deep bench to draw from.
A very Fisherian / žižekian critique. Aptly said.
I'm not American but, from what I've seen, Republicans seem to flip sides more than a quarter in a hobos pocket during an earthquake.
Having Republicans turn on eachother is about as shocking as the fact that it will be cold in winter.
And to anyone who has eyes to see with, the press is largely sanewashing Trump and toadying to his imbeclic destructiveness.
That's how Fascism works.
Wouldn't be wild to say that there's some dementia and cognitive decline going on with Trump. I'm not saying this as a joke or insult, the guy is seriously behaving randomly and people around his are too scared to disagree.
It wouldn't be wild, it'd be accurate. The man has dementia. I'm on mobile and not inclined to tap out all of the indicators, but remember when he abruptly stopped speaking at a campaign rally, and just kind of swayed to his music playlist for 39 minutes, or when he described in detail the literal, giant faucet in British Columbia that he seemed to think that Canada uses to control water to the West Coast? (Or the literal dome over Israel?) Both losing track of time and losing the ability to process metaphorical speech are symptoms of dementia. Why else would his doctors have administered that cognitive test that he bragged that he aced?
Like when no one wants to take Grandpa's car keys.
It's definitely possible. We may just be seeing his true self more though
All he has to do is not drive the car off the cliff but noooooo
All he must do is explain the logic behind the decision using real economic concepts and theories. We're all keenly aware of why he isn't doing that.
I mean.. Why doesnt he just stop doing things that give him bad press.
I can think of one thing he could do that would get him lots of good press, but it's typically a TOS violation.
Rhymes with mooicide?
It's probably a TOS against something he signed after taking elon's money but firing Elon would be a really good first start
Narcissistic psychopaths gonna narcissistic psychopath.
If he were smart enough to do that, he probably wouldn't have bankrupted a casino twenty years ago.
Four casinos, depending on how you count his six bankruptcies.
Carry on with the negative press about the fucking neo-Nazi filled GOP. Fuck them.
