It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Formerly-wet drying boy is getting so dry that now he's talking about the sand and the mixing of the sand and the environmental awards he's assigned to himself for debunking climate change. (hexbear.net)

They shouldn't have edited that stuff out. He sounds even more unhinged with it. Our Big Brain Melty Boy. His brain is leaking out his ears in realtime. If there were ~3 months until election day - I don't think he'd make it without being on stage and saying something like "I need to poopie. I gotta go. I need to poopie. Why am I here?"

If he get reelected - his inauguration speech is gonna be total word salad that goes on for 4+ hours.

idk if we watched the same video because, imo, the quote in the OP (partially by omitting like a minute of him talking) makes him sound like his brain has exited his body, but in the actual video he's like 75% coherent and at least aware enough to keep going back to what actually matters- his shitty fascist talking points. like, I really do not think that any conservative leaning person watching this video would have even remotely the same impression of him, they'd just hear him say a lot of bullshit they agree with i.e. "can't compete with countries that spend nothing on climate change!" and go YEAHH MAGA WOO WOO WOO YEE HAW

Way back in 2016 - he vomited up a lengthy incoherent mess about his genius uncle at MIT. Libs liked the "run-on sentence" so much that Lin-Manuel Miranda made a song from it. The libs were sure Trump was going to get destroyed on election day so they loved that shit. Meanwhile Trump's hogs didn't care. If they did notice - it was their hero owning the libs because they care about shit that doesn't matter.

But today's Trump is clearly a different person. He sounds like mere months away from being unable to draw a clock. I'm sure even the hogs know that in their heart of hearts.

Donald Trump's 'Nuclear' Speech

"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number.

That's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago.

He would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it's four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years.

But the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."
