Well guys... Have you seen Trump's mental decline since he last ran?! How old is he now?

Surely nobody would be dumb enough to vote someone that old into office now... That is... What we have been saying? Right guys?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 60 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, but they don't care. They don't want a competent and coherent president. They want Trump, because he hates the same people they hate, and he's not afraid to say so.

The teams don't play by the same rules and never have.

It's not those people we have to worry about. It's the ones in the middle who sway one way or another. They care enough that Trump lost last time.

[–] USNWoodwork@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

It’s the ones in the middle who sway one way or another. Trump is being ungracious by continuing to post about how horrible Biden has been (in his opinion). Its very un-presidential on Trump's part, and shows the real lack of class that he is well known for. This is the kind of thing that pushes people in the middle one way or the other. It also demonstrates that he has trouble keeping his mouth shut even when he know that running his mouth is going to hurt him.

They just want a king.

Not a government that they have to be involved in.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Depends who is "they".

Hicks - maybe yes.

Suits - they want a king in the constitutional monarchy sense, so that he wouldn't mess with them doing what they want.

For me all the news in the world since Artsakh war in 2020 just seem depressing and a prelude to something really bad, so I'm inadequate. And never been in the new world anyway.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I just call them authoritarians.

[–] ImpressiveEssay@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, but they don't understand that.

[–] ziltoid101@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Can't mentally decline if you were never sound of mind in the first place!

[–] ImpressiveEssay@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah. No shit.

Americans. This is where you highlight hypocrisy. You put it right n their face. You don't turn around and continue the obvious truth that trump is a fool and tried to interrupt governmental process. The defo wont care about that.

You make a fool of them publicly and ensure everyone sees the hypocrisy. .. and if they still weasel.. they want a king.

He's only 2 years younger than Biden and has changed somewhat since getting shot at. Even a cold bastard like him must be handling trauma after that close call.

[–] voldage@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I don't understand, why bring up Biden? He's not opposing Trump, instead Harris will most likely do, and she's basicially so much younger she could be his daughter! Propping up such an ancient candidate, republicans should be ashamed! Biden at least dropped out due to his age, this Trump guy should get a clue.
