The Trump Presidency 2.0

[JPhillips]

Trump: “Somebody said, ‘Oh the shelves are going to be open.’ Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally.”

Not a great message.

[Lathum]

Maybe people should only use one sheet of toilet paper and not two, and maybe the toilet paper will cost a couple bucks more than it normally would

DJT (probably)

[Lathum]

I mean, talk about a double whammy of shitty messaging. Hey parents, your kids Xmas toys will cost more and be much harder to find. Het retailers, you're going to sell less of your product than you need to.

It does remind me of Bernie Sanders complaining that we have too much choice when selecting deoderant.

Hey guys, quit being so pesimistic. You're lucky you're alive. If it wasn't for Trump, apparently 1/3 of the country would have died from fentanyl in the last 100 days.

That leaves ... 2/3s!

[Lathum]

I believe the number is 258 million.

[RainMaker]

Just totally divorced from reality. Really dire shit. I know the simps have to keep up appearances but they have to be struggling through this.

From the same guy who said that low cost products aren't the American Dream.

People just can't wait so they can get here and pay max cost for every item they need. I know I get enjoyment out of paying more for things.

[RainMaker]

They have a guy who posted child porn earlier this year in the press briefing room.

Q: Will we see Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton be investigated?

Leavitt: It's so refreshing to hear this question, mainstream media wouldn't ask this pic.twitter.com/hKlDVOvs9U

I really, really, really don't like that woman.

[dubb93]

Hillary Road Ham Clinton? Why would you even include her middle name if that is the best shot you could take at it? I assume it was included so he could toss out Hussein without it seeming completely out of place?

Still waiting for an answer as to when Amercia was last "great"?.

Trump refers to the time he was the pope of Europe, when he sailed across the Atlantic and renamed the newly discovered continents "America" after his grandmothers Amelia and Erica.

Elon Musk reply guy on Twitter. Big into conspiracies like pizzagate and Qanon. Gained attention last year for posting child porn on Twitter, having his account banned, then Elon reinstating it. Nothing else real special about him.


Edit: He also put his watermark over the photos and videos he posted apparently.

A woman in oklahoma and her three daughters were forced from their home out into the rain at night by 20 heavily armed FBI, ICE, and HLS . The men broke everything and stole their computers and phones and $3000 cash. Then left them there. All three agencies deny they took part. My biggest surprise at this was that a local news station actually reported this.

[GrantDawg]

Great translation, and the sad thing it is completely right:
"Look, stuff ordinary Americans want to buy will cost more, sure. And will be less available. But this will also hurt the Chinese - under Biden, it wasn't just Americans who were better off, it was ALSO the Chinese. Americans are ok with being hurt as long as they can hurt others"

The US and Ukraine have signed a mineral deal. No details yet.

lmao the minerals are in the part of the country that Russia now controls.

This feels like it would be too much for even a movie like Idiocracy.

It's worse than that. The WH has been having daily press briefings/Q&A sessions for right-wing "journalists" by invitation only.

In the abc news interview Trump was asked what the Declaration of Independence means to him and he said, "It means exactly what says. It's a declaration of unity and love and respect".

Kind of like when he was asked about his favorite bible verse.

It will never cease to amaze me how people can listen to his non answers and rambling and think he is some kind of genius.

He literally sounds like a kid fumbling through an oral book report who hasn't read the book.

BREAKING NEWS: Mike Waltz, the man who accidentally added Jeffrey Goldberg to Pete Hegseth’s signal chat is OUT as Trump's national security adviser. Pete Hegseth should be next.

Christ. Listening to CNN cover the Walz firing and a panist said Laura Loomer just texted her “Loomered”

National security decisions are being influenced by someone who was literally committed to a mental institution.

We’re so fucked.

Is Scott Steiner running the tariff strategy for the USA?

OU KNOW THEY SAY ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. BUT YOU LOOK AT ME AND YOU LOOK AT SAMOA JOE AND YOU CAN SEE THAT STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE! SEE NORMALLY IF YOU GO 1 ON 1 WITH ANOTHER WRESTLER YOU GOT A 50/50 CHANCE OF WINNING! BUT I'M A GENETIC FREAK AND I'M NOT NORMAL! SO YOU GOT A 25% AT BEST AT BEAT ME! AND THEN YOU ADD KURT ANGLE TO THE MIX, YOU THE CHANCES OF WINNING DRASTIC GO DOWN! SEE THE 3 WAY AT SACRIFICE YOU GOT A 33 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING. BUT I, I GOT A 66 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING CAUSE KURT ANGLE KNOWS HE CAN'T BEAT ME AND HE'S NOT EVEN GONNA TRY! SO SAMOA JOE YOU TAKE YOUR 33 1/3 CHANCE MINUS MY 25% CHANCE AND YOU GOT 8 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT SACRIFICE. BUT THEN YOU TAKE MY 75% CHANCE OF WINNING IF WE WAS TO GO 1 ON 1 AND THEN ADD 66 2/3 %. I GOT A 141 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT SACRIFICE! SENIOR JOE?THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR YOU AT SACRIFICE!

EDIT: I know the Bondi thing isn't tariff related, but it is the same typical jumble of random numbers.

Every fentanyl laced pill kills 6 Americans

[Kodos]

I can understand the first person dying. But the other 5? Sorry, bud, it's your own fault!

Not fired. Moving to the UN, and now little Marco is going to be acting NSA director. Because you know, being Secretary of State is famously a part time gig.

[RainMaker]

A full third of the country is assembled human centipede style so when the first person takes the fentanyl pill it goes through the other 5 people in the chain and kills them too.

[Ghost Econ]

Donald Trump's understanding of GDP is basically this immortal reddit post from 6 years ago.


[OC] After adjusting Patrick Mahomes' stats, removing outliers to project the future, he heavily regresses to around the level of 2018 Dak.

[Atocep]

I didn't realize RFK doesn't believe in germ theory. How did this man get confirmed? We won't fully recover from the damage he's doing to US heakthcare.

[Ghost Econ]

I guess we should start a Trump Papacy 1.0 thread. If I my priest says something about woke instead of this shit tomorrow, I'm literally walking out during mass.

[CrimsonFox]

Are you kidding, ghost. Catholic churches have been evangelicallike for years
It's pretty gross. Some are like megachurches

[Kodos]

You have to search hard to find people so ill-suited for their jobs. RFK isn’t merely incompetent; he wants to ban things that work and then use faerie dust in their place.

The local covent for nuns is pretty on the ball with numerous and very large handmade wooden signs all over the yard criticizing how immigrants and minorities are currently being treated.

I couldn’t tell you much about the stance of the local Catholic Church other than the people that attend are nearly 100% MAGA so I assume they aren’t preaching this stuff and the signs are a form of protest.

Amazing the shit this guy can say and not become a pariah.

Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

Why has he gotten stuck on 30 dolls? Why does he seem to obsess with certain random made up numbers?

[Lathum]

This one is a doozy

On Meet the Press, Kristen Welker asks Donald Trump when it becomes his economy:

"I really mean this, I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy."

I'll tell ya what, David. I do want the credit without any of the blame.

[Mota]

At least he tells you like it is. No accountability whatsoever, and will only take credit for the good things. He even admits it. In my business, you get fired for doing that.

I get the point but he isn’t telling anything like it is. He’s telling everything like a person with no concept of reality thinks it is.

[flere-imsaho]

This is what happens when someone is born into money and is relentless enabled from birth. Trump is the worst type of person America can produce.

[flere-imsaho]

Hey Elon, I found some waste. I mean, it's only $45-90M, but still....
