Donald Trump can’t seem to remember what state he’s even in anymore.

If he does win, they will 25th Ammendment him and put ~~Peter Thiel~~ J D Vance in charge I guarantee it.

[–] LastoftheV8s@lemm.ee 1 points 7 hours ago

I have said the extract same thing.

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 18 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

That would require the people he selects for his cabinet to have a spine, which I don't see happening. Trump is easy enough to manipulate, they don't need to get rid of him.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 5 points 6 hours ago

The people behind him would replace him in a heartbeat. The tech bros want to carve the US into kingdoms, and Putin wants the US to be balkanized.

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It will be a Reagan scenario only Don Jr will play the part of Nancy Reagan's clairvoyant and Rudy Guiliani will play Nancy.

[–] knacht1@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You mean Rudy will be the "Throat GOAT"?

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I think he'd be so into that.

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

Saw this here a while ago and I think it belongs here.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

People were saying that in 2016 and every year since.

[–] vegeta@lemmy.world 19 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

His cult:

He was just joking

He then tried to correct his mistake, tweeting about “internal polling in Louisiana” that showed him “winning the state by the largest margin.” (Sure, let’s see those polls!)

He's just talking about THIS internal polling

During his speech on Tuesday, Trump’s brain also short-circuited when he tried to talk about the 2017 violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

“She didn’t say anything except lies, like bloodbath, like Charlottestown,”

He was just translating the french "ville" to english as "town" because his stable genius brain is always working

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The only internal polling he truly understands is date night with putin.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Being Putin’s cockholster is a full time job

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 13 points 8 hours ago

Late stage syphilis-/ Dementia Don /

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 18 points 9 hours ago

Just now? He didn't years ago?

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 63 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He’s very obviously cognitively impaired, and has been accelerating in his decline. It’s right there for all to see.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 44 points 7 hours ago

Except of course for the corporate media that do the best they can to cover up his obvious mental illness and dementia.

[–] Letme@lemmy.world 59 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Regardless of blind political party worship, he is, seriously, TOO DAMN OLD. I am so happy that we got Biden to step down, absolutely love the "youthful" energy of Kamala!

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I've met a lot of geriatric people with tons of energy and young people who make sloths look hyperactive. It depends highly on the person.

[–] Letme@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

No, sorry, cognitive decline is inevitable. Nobody over 70, no more.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 59 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

when did he have a grasp on reality?

[–] millifoo@lemmings.world 31 points 8 hours ago

Never. Never is the correct answer. He's been delusional his whole life.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Maybe it was when he said there were airports in the 1700's? Wait, no... Shoot. You know, I'm starting to think this man may have a bit of dementia...

[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

said there were airports in the 1700’s

WTF

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Seriously. "Where Have You Fucking Corporate Newspeople BEEN"

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 21 points 9 hours ago

Every state he goes to all he sees are the two sheets of glass.

Easy mistake to make.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 19 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Trump didn’t bother to correct his mistake, and the crowd clapped anyway.

Today’s GQP in a nutshell.

[–] paf0@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago

Sometimes I wonder how many paid actors they place in the crowd to clap and hype everyone up.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 1 points 16 minutes ago

Nothing about that is new. That has been going on for a decade now.

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 19 points 3 hours ago

That's the point! Republicans loved Regan because for at least the last two years of his presidency, he didn't even know who he was and they could get away with all kinds of shit.

[–] rickdg@lemmy.world 17 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Member when we had already decided he was a corrupt criminal heading for jail? Guess he upgraded to just being a dumb weirdo.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Wasn’t that the 1990’s? Then he funded some stupid reality show to rehabilitate his image? Yeah, I expected that to crash and burn, and him go off to jail. I have no idea how the last couple decades of politics happened

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

Lead. So much fucking lead. In the paint in the pipes in the gas.

My uncle's used to literally cast lead soldiers in the attic of their childhood home.

Then Play army men.

They knew lead was poisonous 3,000 years ago. What. The. Fuck.

[–] FreeLikeGNU@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I agree with the sentiment but the order of words in the title and text appear a bit weird to me. For instance, "totally lost grasp..." and "can't even seem to..." make more sense to me than how it was posted.

[–] zarathustra0@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I was gonna ask if they asked Trump to decide the headline.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

Is this a headline from 2018?

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

You cannot lose something you never had.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Oh hey an article from 2015.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

well he is very old

Why are people down voting this bot? It's a good service assuming it isn't some partisan plot to lie to us
