Have to wonder how long his clueless ass would survive if his handlers walked out

So, it's all just a stream of fucking nonsense, isnt it? I gotta wonder how its like for folks actually there. They arent even listening, are they?
My friend has a theory that he doesn't even have thoughts in the conventional sense. He speaks by simply stringing sounds together that he thinks sounds good.
Didn't he call it "weaving"? Had linguistic "friends" who said he was a "genius" because he brings in so many "topics" and "ties" them all back together? Huh, lotta quotes up there. Almost like it's sarcasm.
Oh is he rolling out free child care, healthcare?
Don't forget food for children at home and in schools!
Paid parental leave for both parents too, I'm sure!
Execution of child after birth.... Yeah I missed that talking point at the DNC.
The veil is so thin. That is a clear threat to women’s rights. This asshole needs to get squashed in November
Or voting, or going to school, or owning things or...
He's so transparent. The internal polling must be showing him getting murdered among women, prob worse than the national polling shows.
That or he's just stung by the implications of being unpopular with women.
Your face putting off women from having sex is not the same thing as getting them to not think about abortions.
"...because we will make that illegal."
They’ll make being un-pregnant illegal.
You know what, fuck it I'll say it, the bullet missed because it knew it was too good for him.
2 inches away from a better world
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Trump is WORSE dead than alive. And even much worse if assassinated instead of dying of natural causes. Be careful with what you wish for. Do you think his cult followers are bad now?? How do you think they'll be if they get their Jesus-like martyr?
The perfect example is Venezuela. Go ahead, read about Chávez and what happened after he died.
I want that guy IN PRISON and stewing in bitterness til the end of his time.
He'll be a martyr in prison, too. He needs to have a massive, disabling stroke so his followers can see him look irredeemably weak.
I bet they still rally around their God-Emperor.
My wish would be that after he loses this election - and I think would truly become unable to run again (because at that point I think almost everyone would be able to admit he’s too old) - that everyone simply forgets about him. His ongoing trials would get no more than a blip in coverage, whether he’s sentenced to jail or slapped with probation, it barely gets talked about. There can be no worse punishment from that man’s perspective than screaming into a void and no one hears him and no one cares.
This is a total pipe dream, but I am willing to turn off any news program, ignore any news link and not buy any newspaper that has an article about him if it contributes to ignoring him until he turns into an old useless husk and departs from this world. I wish it could be done now but people still need to be consistently reminded how dangerous he is until their vote is locked in this November.
He'll never stop running because then all of his crime prosecution he can call politically motivated. He knows damned well he's a crook so its his best (albeit still irrelevant) defense.
Yeah, they'll be worried about keeping their right to vote.
I don't know what is worse, that he thinks women get abortions because they are sad or that he forgot he was president in 2020 when they were sick, poor, and depressed.
Can you really call it a 'signature all-caps style' when it's nearly impossible to distinguish from any crazy person's online forum screed?
It's a "signature style" when it's made in Trump, and "sparkling schizophrenia" when it comes from anywhere else.
We can call it the concept of a style
Well, I’d argue that he’s not just some crazy online rando but a previous and possibly future president of the United States, which makes a teeny-weeny bit of a difference here.
I get where you're coming from, but he also happens to own the forum. and the fact that millions of actual “regular people” spend their days proliferating his garbage nonsense is yet another distinction between Trump and any other crazy person online.
In fact, it’s the proliferation of online propaganda that even makes you consider Trump to be comparable to a regular person in the first place when he is anything but.
I'm sure that's true.
I think people in China don't think about crimes the CCP punishes with the death penalty much either.
I know an orange turd I would never like to think about again.
They will think of it more.
"Won't have to think about it" or "don't even think about it" if he's president?
A thought crime is exactly what Americans need right now.
I play a game where I think of the dumbest shit to say when I think of a topic and I'll be he wins every damn time. Must be a natural idiot.
If you read everything he says as Zack Brannigan from Futurama, it makes it hilarious.
Is that Zapp Brannigan's older, less charismatic brother?
Change one letter and it's a decent pickup line
I don't see it...

I see it now. Thanks.
