I just want to exist in a world where he doesnt. Look at those fucking quotes. The intellect of an eight year old.

That tracks, because he acts like a first grader. He's proud of it, too.

"When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different."

8 year olds have more intellect than this dipshit. Guy has a single digit IQ.

8 year olds still have a lot of potential to grow. This piece of shit has shown a track record of about 70 years of non growth. Imagine getting rewarded for a behavior for 70 years straight. Even if he had the humility and intelligence to do it, he doesn't have the time left it would take to rewire his brain against that kind of conditioning.

To be clear, I'm not excusing him. I'm explaining that his brain is irreversibly fucking broken. Anybody holding on to hope that he changes in any meaningful way, don't you think that getting shot at would've been a humbling moment if ever there were to be one? By being a disgusting, hateful, stupid predator asshole consistently for his whole life, he's gotten absurd wealth, a model wife, an army of cultist followers, and he got to be president. Twice. When was he supposed to have learned that he should really take the time and energy necessary to do some growing?

I don’t want to brag, but at 8 years old I could read.

I don't say this to be derogatory, but his speech patterns remind me of the special needs students from middle school. Significantly moreso after his first term; he could speak fairly coherently throughout his first term AFAIK.

He is very clearly mentally unwell, and it's terrifying that he is in any way able to gain this level of power. I wouldnt put elder abuse out of the question, he just seems to say things and repeat things that get good reactions from the people around him.

Makes sense.

He never had to mix with the peasants.

Groceries are something poor people shop for.

When trump wants food, it appears.

Otherwise it's McDonaltrump

The next 4 years are going to be fucking exhausting.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yea but the comedy that's going to come from this is going to at least make it less painful.

Uh I always heard the phrase "dragged" in a much more serious/sinister context.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
