Yeah, that's right, he's a fucking liar, and wholly owned by Putin.
What in the actual fuck tho. How can he possibly be this detached from the reality? Literally at the time of biggest attack on energy infrastructure saying that they didn't attack energy infrastructure is .... WHAT
Trump lies about everything
Kyiv groans a collective ‘WTF?’ to Trump
You and us both, Kyiv.
I'm starting to feel collectively ashamed for "The West" that this war still isn't over. Please hold tight, I'm sure we'll get there!
I believe this is either a mockery of our misfortune, a lack of understanding of the situation, or wishful thinking.
No. Trump is just a.moron with a hefty serving of dementia.
My money's on mockery, and him being a compulsive, arrogant, lying shitbag.
Look, I know how it seems. Yes, he's about as sharp as a wet bowling ball. And sure, he showed obvious signs of sundowning on a steadily increasing basis. But please, please don't forget that deep down, he also a completely heartless and evil man.
It's even worse. His supporters are more detached from reality than him.
He's a liar gone senile. His followers have no such excuse. They need to make active effort to dissociate from reality in order to remain followers. Even if you were just evil and liked his ideas, you should know he's not the right person to lead.
I've just finished reading a book on the psychology of authoritarian followers. Turns out they actually find it really easy to compartmentalize and forget all the illogic of their beliefs. They don't look inward, and they don't connect the dots between beliefs and actions very accurately. They just follow the leader and cheer when that means hurting someone.
Yep , evil before stupid
The bigly exception to hanlons razor.
Nah, Hanlon's Razor doesn't cover this as his actions are not adequately explained by stupidity.
Agreed, thats why I said exception?

It's because he's a fucking moron! Have you not been paying attention?!
Yeah, was going to say the same, it’s much worse, he’s just an idiot, and dementia addled
I mean the constant lying, petty and hateful behavior alone should be enough to get the guy impeached. Let alone the child raping and abuse of the office of president of the united states to enrich himself, his family and his inner circle.
The whole Republican party, and a substantial part of the democratic party consists of spineless, weak traitors. Their names will go down in history as such. Now let's steer towards consequences so that future politicians know that their job is to represent and not to enrich. It should be an honor to serve the many citizens you represent, it should be punished if you knowingly fail.
God I fuckin hate orangeboi.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
