This level of projection usually requires lasers and a special backdrop screen.

He concluded with, "Worthless orange lumps can't even score with their own gorgeous daughters!"

So much projection it's a damn Pink Floyd show. Complete with pig.

I just came here to say 'Fuck Donald Drumpf'

Weird how right-wing radio isn't freaking out about how Trump 'hates America' when he makes comments like this.

[–] CoWizard@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That goes against the key tenant of being right-wing: no introspection

[–] e_t_@kbin.pithyphrase.net 10 points 1 year ago

That's his campaign promise.

The only time Trump says something correct - and even then, he probably has the wrong idea on who those “thugs” and “perverts” are, because it’s sure as hell not just the Democratic Party.

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

He is the pervert and the thug.

[–] hemmes@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why would I vote for someone that thinks my country is a hellhole? He thinks our (and his) country is so bad that the country goes to shit with less than one presidential term following his own? That sounds to me like either he’s the one who did a shit job before or everything he says is bullshit - likely both.

I mean… America is a hellhole, just not the way Trump thinks.

[–] SuperSpaceFan@geddit.social 6 points 1 year ago

Maybe he can just move somewhere else.

[–] foo@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Projecting much?

[–] diskmaster23@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Look, Trump didn't do anything to improve things for the working person. I ain't about to give him four more years to come up with stuff in which I could have come up with on my own.

"Ran by perverts and thugs"

Someone tell this stupid asshole that he didn't win in 2020.

[–] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

If he hates it so much he's welcome to leave. I hear Russia is taking rich new citizens.

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump is a pervert and a thug. It is pure projection.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmmm, I wonder what they will do with their 'love it or leave it' mentality?

[–] xc2215x@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They will excuse it because he said it.

[–] DarkGamer@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

If Republicans didn't have double standards they wouldn't have any standards at all.

[–] xc2215x@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember when even being mildly critical of America was seen as anti American. How the narrative changes.

[–] lowdownfool@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

It's critical of those people.

[–] Infinity187@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Fuck him. I'm living just fine.

[–] Grass@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago

As if it wasn't the case while he was president along with many before him...

“The election will decide whether your generation will inherit a fascist country or a free country, “ Mr Trump told the right-wing activist conference.

He threatened to “reclaim colleges” and “choke off the money” to universities that he claims are leading a “Marxist assault” on “Western civilization itself.” He also pledged to revive an even wider ban on people from majority Muslim countries from entering the US, along with mass deportations of people living in the country and ending birthright citizenship for the children of people who are in the US without legal permission.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

He's right about the fascism thing, but for the wrong reasons.

[–] oDDmON@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Takes one to know one.

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

He's about 3 years late but hey, better late than never.

[–] UpperBroccoli@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

So he really still thinks he's running this country, huh?

[–] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

Liar tells lies—film at 11. The American Dream died in 2008, on the Republicans' watch, due to inadequate government regulation of the financial sector.
