billions would be alive if 2016 wasn't rigged.

Hillary had 3 million more votes than delinquent Donny

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

Constitutionally rigged because we have an undemocratic Electoral College system which ignores the will of the people.

Which is why Trump claims that Hillary managed to sneak 3 million illegal immigrants into polling places to vote.

His evidence? "I should have the most votes! If I didn't, she must have cheated!!!"

Quite frankly, if Hillary did this and had the 3 million illegal immigrants vote in safe blue California instead of in swing states, she deserved to lose. At the same time, if she was coordinated enough to get 3 million illegal immigrants to vote without leaving any evidence, perhaps she would have been an extremely efficient President. (Of course, the reality is that this is all just Donny's Narcissistic Fever Dream.)

It kind of sucks that 5 seconds of rational thinking is all it takes to completely unravel any of Trumps lies, he can be discredited in real-time his lies are so easy to debunk. It sucks because that is apparently still not a low enough barrier...

[-] RubberStuntBaby@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

He's so bad at it that his accusations manage to both lack any evidence or make any sense. It boggles my mind that he's still popular enough to make his reelection plausible.

[-] BigBlackCockroach@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

He speaks to a gutfeeling and emotion. Think of him more as a religious cult leader rather than a politician.

If 2000 wasn’t stolen. .

I hope that guy is going to jail soon, it's tiring hearing his insane ramblings every day.
2 false statements in 9 words. I bet it isn't even a record for him.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

I don’t know if him suffering a stroke next October would be good or bad for the planet. He doesn’t deserve an exit without paying his debt to humanity but I’d take it if it means we can right this ship, not sure if that’s on the table though

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

People like him rarely face justice. I'd be content if he had a stroke. Although I admit I'd be more content if, "his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain" as Douglas Adams once said of one of the universe's worst poets.

[-] TechyDad@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

"... And that, children, is why there's a statue dedicated to Donald Trump's major intestine!"

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

A stroke doesn't always kill you. Sometimes it locks you into a paralysis state. I'm pretty sure Trump doesn't have any kind of DNR order, so there's always hope for cosmic justice.

Amazing how he is still alive

[-] SkabySkalywag@lemmy.world 65 points 1 year ago

You unmitigated POS for insulting on all those that died on your watch, you cancerous dog anus of human being.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago

He just...keeps going. I don't fucking get it. He's about to go to jail for this shit, and he will not just STFU.

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 17 points 1 year ago

He can't. At this point he's either going to win it he's going down. There is no way out, so he just has to keep going. The depressing thing is that he still has a shot at winning despite everything.

[-] grabyourmotherskeys@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Basically a really obnoxious zombie at this point.

Just shut the fuck up and go away, so tired of hearing him talk.

“And yes, I am the only one that will prevent World War 3 — because we are very close to World War 3.”

Peddle that FEAR Donnie, lean into it.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

I like how the guy who once suggested we nuke a hurricane is the one saying he'll prevent World War 3.

[-] sndmn@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

His solution to WW3 would be immediately surrendering.

Literally all you have to do is draw on a map to change the course of wars like he did with a hurricane

I like how the guy who once threatened North Korea with a nuclear strike is the one saying he'll prevent World War 3.

[-] ninjan@lemmy.mildgrim.com 25 points 1 year ago

Textbook being backed into a corner behavior. He lays it on thick because he knows his supporters are his only hope at avoiding jail, and worse. Either through a 2024 win or violent uprising.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He lays it on thick

This is way beyond just laying it on thick. Laying it on thick is exaggerating something, this is outright delusional lies.

" Sleepy Joe and the crocked Liberal judges back by Hillary tried to stop me but I won. You know the Jews, they love me! Net and yahoo calls me and says thank you Mr. President. THEY LOVE ME! I would stop Hamas just like I did with China."

[-] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I want to believe 'net and Yahoo' is not part of an actual quote from anyone on this planet, but if there was one person I would say it would be him.

What about the millions who died from Covid under his ‘leadership”?

Feck off. Can’t wait to see this traitor cunt in bracelets and an orange jumpsuit. Bald and pallid.

[-] snownyte@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

350,831 Americans died from Covid in 2020 because of your neglect, you murderous fuck. And additionally, from the times you've told them to drink bleach. And from the times they believed from your psychotic influence, to take things that treats worms in horses.

You make it sound like 2020 was the 9/11 after 2019. The only problem with that, is that we didn't have a terrorist event, we had a pandemic. A pandemic you horribly mishandled even when given the instructions from Obama (which in no doubt you discarded because it was from someone better than you). And all you cared about the most, was for everyone to see your signature on all of those letters from all of those stimulus checks that took months of debates while thousands still died under your watch as you did so.

You're not a savior, asshole.

[-] TechyDad@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

And remember Trump's "solution" to COVID (beyond "don't mask," "inject bleach," and "take horse dewormer") was "just don't test for it." He was adamant that the only reason COVID rates were high was because we were testing for it - completely ignoring that we could have theoretically tested everyone in America in 2018 and came up negative. It wasn't the fact that we were testing more, it was the fact that more people were infected.

Trump's advice was essentially "let's stick our heads in the ground, ignore COVID, and it'll all go away."

He has blood on his hands from anyone that listened to his advice, ignored COVID, got infected, and died as a result.

"I could solve the Ukraine-Russia war! All I need to do is force Ukraine to cede any territory that Russia claims, even if Russia doesn't occupy it. Putin surely will not come back for more after that!"

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Yup, he's going back to that old standby, and blaming it all on those Riggers....

[-] TechyDad@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

And you just know that he wants to say that word starting with an N instead of an R.

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I believe it was RIGGERS

[-] RubberStuntBaby@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Did WW2 happen again and I missed it? Because last month he was talking about number 2 and now we're up to 3 again? Maybe they re-released WW2 but it went straight to DVD?

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Me, knowing that there are over 8 billion people alive right now:
