    I think you give him too much credit if you think he's not making everything up on the spur of the moment.

    Why is the room laughing? That's infuriating.

    In fairness, that was my first reaction too.

    A mix of "haha the bloke doesn't know what he had for breakfast, let alone what he said at the start of the week" and "haha he fucking what?"

    A few weeks ago, he was signing some bill, to replace the old bill. And he said the old bill was one of the worst bills he had ever seen, and whomever signed it should be ashamed.

    ........anyone want to take a guess whose bill it originally was, signed into law in 2020? Anyone want to take a wild guess who should be ashamed?

    Anyone?

    Yeah, it was his bill from his 1st term.

    He did the exact same thing with existing deal with Mexico during the tariffs/deal crap. He said:

    I look at some of these agreements, I’d read them at night, and I’d say, ‘Who would ever sign a thing like this?

    Guess who signed the deal in 2020? You guessed it! Ole Teflon don himself and at the time he described it as

    The best agreement we’ve ever made.

    When are they going to move all those kind of contracts to a sort of gitlab repository with versioning enabled?

    the people in here saying look how dumb he is can you fucking not fall for this BS please. he was very specific and direct with his language so no amount of Steve urkel "did I do that" shit walks back anything he does. and the public should not let that be the norm.

    "ohh that's our dumb donny. " U fux

    There was literally a comedy central show called "Thats Our Bush". Republican presidents being massive dumbasses has been the norm here for 25 years.

    Pepperidge Farm remembers bush, and that show. it's sort of the same basic premise. the general population glosses over actions of the president as dumb and dismisses them just the same. Bush wasn't an idiot either and should be tried for crimes but would never stick today.

    Doublethink.

    Doublethink is a process of indoctrination in which subjects are expected to simultaneously accept two conflicting beliefs as truth, often at odds with their own memory or sense of reality.

    It's getting genuinely hard to tell if he's being deliberately duplicitous or just senile. At least when Biden had his senior moments you could tell it was just a senior moment.

    Fucking worthless. Every "journalist" in that room should have pressed him on that. It fucking takes 2 seconds to pull up the clip of him saying it or the tweet.

    Every major journalism outlet is owned by a billionaire who if not an outright Republican, leans right of center. The only journalists that are allowed to do real journalism these days are publishing to stuff no one is reading because it's not a major trusted name. Journalism is currently dead, I think it can be revived, but it's not exactly likely.

    funny, you take something like that right there and project it onto any other presidential figure and it would destroy them - you can't remember what the fuck you said?

    the fucking sanewashing the media allows

    I know someone like this. A lot of the possible dementia-induced-confusion is indistinguishable from the pre-dementia reality-distorting lies and malice, to the point you suspect even they don’t know what’s real anymore.

    I don't think this one was dementia. Qt least not primarily. He's used to gaslighting in his personal life, and here he's simply gaslighting the whole world on television. If there's some dementia to this, then that is not to understand that you cannot gaslight a million people at once, because the point of gaslighting is to make its victim think they are going crazy and imagining things.

    Though... Can it be that for the MAGA audience this gaslighting does work and they really will believe Trump has never called Zelenskyj a dictator?

    Trump is a confused, sick old man, with possible dementia. I think they have him take a regiment of various pills that boost him through the day, prolonging the rot happening on the inside. Makes him docile and a good little puppet. We hate him for good reason but its inhumane we let a person like this be president.

    Possible dementia? I watched one of his speeches live recently and he randomly jumped backwards almost to the beginning and repeated himself without batting an eye at least twice. The creepy part was the reporters just ignoring it and continuing to ask questions as if nothing had happened.

    Yeah he’s just a puppet of the oligarchy, and it’s far too late. His “benefactors” have been sending him instructions on judges to hire, people to promote to his cabinet, executive orders to sign, etc, and he does it all and then spews some nonsense in interviews. Pretty incredible how easy it was to buy the US government.

    The funny part though is when the plan starts to fall apart because a party based on distrust can’t function.

    I’m sourcing Fox News on purpose here. The Trump puppets are now bickering and it took like a month. The collapse is imminent unless some strong judges stop sending strongly worded letters and what’s left of the congress that cares begins voting unanimously and proposing bills unanimously to block what’s happening.

    Yeah, man. We also can barely believe half the crazy shit you say, or that people eat it up. And yet you keep doing it...
