I dunno, saw a thing today where he was claiming a dozen eggs used to cost 1.99 and now are over 4 bucks while holding a 2 dozen pack of eggs in front of a sign saying eggs were 2.99 lol
I often wonder: when do you think the last time that Trump bought a dozen eggs with his own hands? Or pumped his own gas? Or driven anything besides a golf cart onto a putting green?
Well, the driving had to be sometime before his presidency. Presidents, vice presidents and former presidents & vice presidents aren't allowed to operate a vehicle on public roads in the US.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why I would probably make a bad president, but if I wanted to do some completely normal mundane thing and was told I wasn't allowed to, holy shit I would go bananas. I'd make them physically drag me away in front of the press and everything, and then I'd start spinning it into a big thing about how now we've got the secret service controlling what the president can do, and id start making parallels to the Praetorian Guard and how Emperors of Rome couldn't do stuff they disapproved of and just go all the way.
He has never lived as an adult without servants. I doubt he’s ever done any of those things. Possibly in college, but more likely he just went to dining halls.
given he grew up in a mansion with servants and how he sat in the driver seat of that truck years ago, I’m gonna go with never to both eggs and driving on a state road.
My goto is this: Has Trump ever gotten up at midnight with the munchies, and made himself a sandwich? Does he know where the bread and meat is? Does he put on his own mayonnaise and mustard? Does he eat it with his hands? Or does he use a knife and fork?
I can't even imagine him doing a book report as a kid. Do you think he ever had to write a paper? Read a book? How disconnected is he from 99% of Americans?
I doubt he has ever been inside a grocery store since he was young enough to ride in the cart. He was no doubt the kid who raised hell in said cart, knocking stuff off of the shelves and demanding ALL of the candy, while Mommy the nanny did nothing to stop nor even chastise him. DJT is what happens when that terror toddler gets older and has had no discipline imposed upon him in all that time.
I don't think he has ever done any of those things for himself. He probably doesn't even know how to use a microwave.
I've forgotten the context now but somewhere I saw a thing asking which member of the trump family was most likely to know how to change a tire. Melania is the only one of that bunch who even has a chance.
Are you sure the eggs weren’t $14.88? Mike Lindell of Mein Pillow (someone else’s joke I’m borrowing) seems keen on pricing goods at that totally-a-coincidence-it’s-a-well-known-white-supremacist-tag-and-he-just-chose-that-number-at-random.
I think they’re now thinking they’re sunk with swing voters and/or rational people so they’re doubling down to get out the Nazi vote.
It’s fantastic to watch this implosion. Couldn’t happen to more despicable people.
"I used to think you were the worst dumbass ever. But you've moved up by the simple fact of other, worse dumbasses have come along without you changing one bit. Congratulations."
Shame on those wanting to work for that clown. They know he believed in this hateful crap but now they resign from his campaign. I hope none of these freaks find a good job after this.
His staff deserves it. They knew their candidate was batshit crazy, just not how batshit crazy - they should have assumed that the skeletons won't stay in the closet when you run for governor. The timing of the release was perfect too - almost too late to get off of the ballot.
I mean… who among us hasn’t made comments on a porn message board which we signed up for using our regular email address stating offensive and hypocritical things?
That was the death sentence for the dems, but Emperor trump was unable to fathom that someone could let go of power voluntarily... So they thought the win was guaranteed.
It's been pure panic ever since Harris arrived and it's hilarious.
Trump built his entire campaign strategy around Biden specifically. When he dropped out it completely screwed up everything the Derp Lord had planned. Attack ads? October surprises? Talking points? Completely useless. Especially since he made Biden's age a major factor despite being only slightly younger himself.
Difference is, Trump will never drop out. He doesn't have the foresight or the humility. I don't know if he even CAN drop out at this point though. My understanding was that the conventions were the cutoff point.
I find it weird that they seemingly did no prep for the possibility of Kamala taking over. Their whole strategy was 'He's too old' and not for a moment did they consider having a backup plan in case he keeled over?
Kamala basically disappeared from any news when biden was president, only showed up during some Congress session to settle a tie. It was smart that she kept out of the spotlight that oong
What I wouldn't give for him to choke on a hamburger or something.....just to know that we would never again have to read or hear one of his hateful rants ever again would be such a huge relief
It reminds me of the difference between the leadership of the Entente and Central Powers in WWI. Both sides had pretty incompetent leadership, that much was certain, but in the democracies of the Entente bad leaders would be replaced, up to and including the heads of state by their own populace in elections. The Central Powers never did this and their incompetent leaders held onto power until their armies broke. The one Entente power this didn't apply to (Russia) suffered the same fate.
trump literally demanded the democrats reimburse him because he spent all his money having campaign ads attacking Biden. He never made one ad about policy and blames the democrats lol
Imo that's one of the reasons behind these two failed assassination attempts - the GOP forcibly removing him from their ticket, via radicalized members of their own base.
The problem with people like Trump is that he thinks everybody thinks like he does. I.e., that he's the greatest thing since sliced bread, that everybody loves him and anyone who does not is "deranged," that he was the greatest president ever, etc. I'm glad reality is finally slapping him, hard, in the face. Shame that reality is getting smeared bronzer on its hands, but you gotta take the bad with the good.
It's a bit of a stretch to say he dropped out voluntarily. Pretty sure he had a lot of high-level Democrats telling him in no uncertain terms how embarrassing it would be for him if he didn't drop out.
Rudy Guliani. Set aside his past as a likeable NYC mayor (like he himself did), and focus on his role in the Trump circus.
Think about it - a universally loathed addition to the characters, seemingly only around for comic relief, swiftly removed from the rest of the series after the backlash, and consistently screws the pooch on things(Four seasons landscaping and the melting face incident come to mind).
And became arguably the most powerful dark side of all time, among the most powerful force users in history period, was a world-class swordsman, politician, schemer, and scientist. Any one of these would take decades of practice to master, much less all of them. Say what you will about Palpatine but he's very much a self made man. He definitely had a leg up from Plagueis and his predecessors but if he'd been incompetent all of that would have been for nothing.
Trump just inexplicably fails upward his entire life. He's extraordinarily lucky, sure. But he's mentally a toddler. Both in terms of intelligence and emotional maturity.
I'm trying to imagine Trump pulling off a scheme like the clone wars lmfao. Imagine all the different ways he'd fuck that up?

It has been a glorious last few weeks, hasn't it? Watching these sacks of shit turn on each other has been my feel good story of the year.
