It's funny how whenever Trump goes on one of these tangents it's always reminiscing about some woefully outdated way of handling whatever he's complaining about, just like the old man he is struggling with understanding the modern world, too bad his voters are every bit as lost in modern life.
That's the difference between someone like him and Biden.
Biden is old as fuck and has some old fuck ideas, but he also realizes he's an old fuck and his old as fuck ideas are outdated, so he relies on experts and not quite as old fucks to advise him.
Someone like Trump (and pretty much everyone on the right these days) will only take advise from anyone that simply re-enforces his own old fuck ideas.
As much as I would like a younger president, I would much rather have a body there of any almost age that listens to the advice of experts. Someone who surrounds themselves with the best minds and makes decisions based on their expertise is better than any one person. I still would prefer a younger person that did that though.
Came for this, leaving satisfied.
#Camacho2024
I'd go out and vote for Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho for president. His followers loved him, and he listened to the smartest man in Earth to get shit done. Great man.
And they say Biden’s the one who needs handlers
He sounds like a bad stand up comedian.
Which is funny too considering how many of Trump's friends were stand-ups or in comedy in general, like how Trump was a good friend to Howard Stern, whom is mostly friends with comedy or music legends, Howard even talks about Trump being one of the last people to leave Howard and Beth's wedding. Although now Stern thinks Trump is a huge un-american piece of shit after Trump's election and presidency.
So Trump has been around enough comedians to know a thing or two about stand-up, but his material just isn't good at all.
This shit ain't even funny anymore.
I didn’t know you had flies in Iowa. I hate flies! Now they’ll. I’ll get in trouble for saying that. Cruelty to animals. No it’s true.
(laughter)
You know, I said the other day I was at a place and it was a beautiful place, but they had like, flies. And I said, get flypaper! They said, “Sir, they’re not allowed to sell it anymore because of cruelty to animals.”.
They actually said that! I don’t know. Can you get fly pa-? Used to be great, right? But they said, “You can’t do that anymore, sir, it’s cruelty.”.
What the hell is going on with this country?
The GOP frontrunner for the Presidency of the United States is clearly falling deeper and deeper into dementia.
I don't know, he sounds like he always does.
Yea, I feel like people are always trying to find some medical reason to explain Trump and why he is the way he is. But I think we don't need one, the man is dumb, he is cruel, he is selfish, and he was given enough money to get away with being like this for his whole life. We don't need a diagnostic tool to figure this guy out, he is exactly how he seems.
No. Hard no. I'm old enough to remember when Trump was the laughing stock of the entire country in the 90's. He has not been like this his whole life.
He's been eat up with Narcissistic Personality Disorder his whole life, but now he's straight senile. This is not the same bullshit.
Nah, he's just a narcissist who's getting old.
Ascribing it to some medical condition feels just like making excuses for his bullshit, when really he's always been spreading this kind of bullshit.
And it's always some insane claim like "flypaper has been banned" or "wind turbines cause cancer" or "you have to flush a toilet twelve times today," when really he's just upset that flies are buzzing around him or that Scotland decided to put a wind farm near his golf course or that his fat turds haven't been flushing.
But he always makes it into some hare brained conspiracy theory, some concocted "they're out to get you, you should all be upset" crusade so he can have thousands of people cheer and holler and validate his narcissistic belief that he's the eternal victim in this world.
None of this is new. Don't make excuses for him.
Here is some evidence of his stupidity dating back to the late sixties.
absolutely nonsense.
you can watch Flypaper (2011) on prime on demand for three bucks. And it was certified "no animals harmed during the making of this production".
This sounds like some "how much is a banana".. he's so disconnected from reality.
Always has been.
Ok, but that headline is weird. I can tell you exactly why he said that shit and it's not bizarre, it's just gross.
Trump's rhetoric relies on a wide variety of in-group references and cultural touch points and pretending to be the reasonable one while framing anyone left of him as an absurd caricature is how Trump do. It's what his base likes. They want to pretend that their opponents are ridiculous people concerned about cruelty to flies instead of basic necessities like pest control. They've built this whole narrative where Democrats are simultaneously weak, ineffective losers and also somehow a grave threat to the very fabric of our nation.
To his base It doesn't matter if the specifics are factual, what matters is that the broader gesture feels true (by affirming their existing biases).
Classic fascist playbook tbh.
Flies love shit.
When you're rotten to the core
I bought fly paper last week to get rid of some gnats. It was from amazon, not the black market. The guy lies with every breath.
You mean I didn't need to give a guy a blowjob in a back alley to get some flypaper? I'm definitely going to keep that in mind next time I give someone a blowjob in a back alley.
Need to? No. But you got to.
If you're doing back alley blowjobs, at least make sure you keep getting something useful out of it.
Are you saying they aren't inherently useful? Because I'll have you know I've given many back alley blowjobs and... I forgot where I was going with this. Other than a back alley.
Walmart sells Raid flypaper. Got a strip hanging up right now because I had a party over the weekend and of course got a bunch of houseflies. The guy is off his rocker.
Home Depot has entire aisles of pesticide and pest control products.
His diaper was probably full.
So when his diaper is full the shit comes out via his mouth? That explains a lot.
Flies are attracted to piles of shit.
They could probably smell his poopy diaper.
Flies know a piece of shit when they see one.
Shut down the comments on this post. We're not getting anything better than this.
I'm just sayin'... He represents gluttony and envy and he's Lord of the Flies...
I was going to make the same gag... "I just got a major endorsement from Beelzebub... great guy, fantastic guy. Lord of Hell, you know I do real well with the Lords of Hell, and the lesser demons, the cacodemons, you know, the whole pantheon. Huge supporters. Very good people."
"I love the poorly ethical!"
Not to be That Guy, but it’s “pandemonium”.
"He said he loves me, so I love him. I love him. I love him."
This has to be one of the funniest Trump moments. He's a horrible person but sometimes he's hilarious.
I’m sure all the dihydroxyacetone on his face didn’t help at all.
The flessssh ssssuit issss rotting.
Guess they finished their business with flesh suit-wearing android Mike "I call my wife Mommy" Pence
Not seeing this as charismatic is a lack of imagination. He didn't win elections by being senile or whatever. I wish i could command a room like this. This kind of media attention is exactly why he won the first time.
You've gotta be a dumbass to find dumb talk charismatic. He's just lucky the gop base has lead poisoning and no education
It's pretty worrisome that the crowd ate up that humor and it sounded like a large crowd. I agree, don't give this asshole any air time.
That was exactly what I thought too. It sounded as though the crowd loved his rhetoric, giving me the impression they either accept it as truth, or at least makes them feel that their displeasure with progress is validated.......
Disheartening. It's the only word that fits. Fucking disheartening.
