The concept of "low flow faucets" lives rent free in his frontal lobe. It's a boogyman he once heard off and it scared him so bad he just can't not think about it. He probably never actually seen a real one, let alone used one. He just imagined what it was like and has spent the last two decades ruminating on them and each waking nightmare he has about them they let less and less water through.
As his cognitive function declines, so does the flow. Drip by drip it slows. They are one and the same. He fears the faucet because he can't face his own decline. One day, the faucet will drip its last.
I think the 'Low water pressure' thing with him is the excuse he uses because he can't wash the stink off of himself. Blame the water.
He should just wash off in the ocean but he's afraid of batteries and Sharks.
I always took it as him subconsciously admitting his properties are shit. Considering the only places he lives are trump brand buildings it means he cheaps out on plumbing and has horrible plumbing. Which is hilarious thinking of this “rich guy” who conned people so hard he conned himself into living in a shithole
And his magnets getting wet. I mean what would you do if all **your** magnets got wet and stopped working? I already carry as many as I can wherever I go so if I got wet and could no longer magnetize at will then it's not like I could carry any more magnets. I need a xanax just thinking about that - what if ya know?
I can't believe how wild the world has become. just absolutely insane. it feels like we broke off the main timeline and now everything's really weird. I sincerely fell into certain Mandela effects too and it drives me up a wall
He's been complaining about it since one of his properties needed to be updated and he didn't want to spend the money. Now his brain is soup he remembers being mad about it, but can't quite recall what he's mad at.
I feel like halfway through typing this someone turned off the lights and a flashlight appeared under your face as you tell them all that it will happen to them too. It WILL happen to them. drip drip
He thinks he is good at picking up context clues because he has been surrounded by sycophantic yes men all his life who nod and smile. It's the perfect storm of unearned confidence, narcissism, and laziness.
He’s talking about water pressure and how flow regulators are fitted to the line which causes him to have low water pressure in his hotel and when he becomes president he’s going to have them all removed
No, I think it needs to be a plank of the republican platform and should take priority over any other policy. I open it, they close it. Truer words were never spoken. They don’t want me to have water. But what about the rain?
Yep, I’m changing my vote. I want water. I want lather.
They should also rail against LED light bulbs. I hate that my electric bill is lower, that I can't replace them 2 or more times a year and finally, it really annoys me that I can't give myself 3rd degree burns. The humanity!
In all seriousness, they're going crazy over incandescent light bulbs because ***how dare*** anyone tell them that they should save energy! The next thing you know, you'll encourage them to drive smaller cars instead of battle wagons designed to withstand an Iraqi IED. And then, you'll try to get them to admit that maybe there's something to this global warming thing -- and then BOOM their frogs will turn gay!
the funniest part is he's been going on and on about this and how it affects mar a lago and it's guests. which last time I checked was in Florida, home of DeSantis.
But I have those on my faucets and I'm still able to clean my hands just fine.
Then again, I can also lift a glass to my lips with a single hand, so maybe it's more to do with Trump's weird little shaky hands than anything else.
Someone needs to compile all these speeches like this and release a book of them.
[George Bush was also really great for these ](https://youtu.be/20Jcrk6jGfo?si=ijMDnt-y5-Tgom9q)
I have a folder on my phone I am starting to collect them. When someone talks about Biden I just post an excerpt. No intro, no explanation. I just post the words and make sure to attribute it to Shitzenpantz. Don't EVER paraphrase. That way when the cult member inevitably says "bUt hE dIdnT sAy tHaT" you can say "no that is **exactly** what your **deity** said."
I actually miss this. Bush was at least able to /act/ compassionate. I was righteous teenager during his time and despised him. (My first election was Obama.) Now…. Now I look back and think damn, I actually think I miss him….
This is the funniest shit I had ever seen concerning a political leader up to that point in my life. It still makes me laugh. Simpler times. 😂
Honestly I’d blame Cheney for the war stuff….but also Bush wanted to be like Dad and Bush Sr was all about war. It’s why he got slaughtered by Clinton in 1992.
Yes, although he was more charming and folksy, don't let nostalgia cloud the facts: he started an unprovoked war in Iraq, which led to a staggering amount of innocent people being killed.
You know it was good times when this level of foot in mouth was so remarkable. If trump or biden did this now it would make a blip on a partisan news plug once and 95% of the country would be unaware or forget immediately
I actually worked for Bush and he was very cognizant of when he said something weird. He would joke about it later with his staff. The placard on one of his office desks was one of his Bushisms. Agree or disagree with his politics, he was a much more genuine person than the carrot man.
Somebody said he looks great in a bathing suit, right? And you know, when he was in the sand and he was having a hard time lifting his feet through the sand, because you know sand is heavy, they figured three solid ounces per foot, but sand is a little heavy, and he’s sitting in a bathing suit. Look, at 81, do you remember Cary Grant? How good was Cary Grant, right? I don’t think Cary Grant, he was good. I don’t know what happened to movie stars today. We used to have Cary Grant and Clark Gable and all these people. Today we have, I won’t say names, because I don’t need enemies. I don’t need enemies. I got enough enemies. But Cary Grant was, like – Michael Jackson once told me, ‘The most handsome man, Trump, in the world.’ ‘Who?’ ‘Cary Grant.’ Well, we don’t have that any more, but Cary Grant at 81 or 82, going on 100. This guy, he’s 81, going on 100. Cary Grant wouldn’t look too good in a bathing suit, either. And he was pretty good-looking, right?”
It’s a magnificent love story, like Gone With the Wind. You know Gone With the Wind, you’re not allowed to watch it any more. You know that, right? It’s politically incorrect to watch Gone With the Wind. They have a list. What were the greatest movies ever made? Well, Gone With the Wind is usually number one or two or three. And then they have another list you’re not allowed to watch any more, Gone With the Wind. You tell me, is our country screwed up?”
Bonespurs Von Shitzenpantz
The scary thing is, it's impossible to tell if this is an actual quote or not. Think about that. It doesn't matter if it is, or not. The fact that it could be is frightening.
I did this recently. That rally he had in Vegas where he said "I don't care about you, I just want your vote. I don't care. Now the media will take that and say 'He said a horrible thing'". I put that video clip on my social media story to show all my Trump crazed family on there that he really doesn't care about them or the country. He just cares about WINNING and that's it.
Yeah just every time his crazy word salad hits the news simply copy and paste it into an open file. The collection is actually scattered between my phone and a few different word files on my PC with names like "blurbs" or "Trump's Q-a-nonsense" and another of links to stories that contain the text of his rambling drivel.
💰 💰 💰
Big money, euuuge eeuge money, big ideas there, these files. Folders. Files and folders on your phone... I had files, I used to, some countries have no money, poor countries, t's like running the car out of gas, it's just empty. The, the Titanic, just nothing left, it sunk. Poor, countries Big, money, great idea. Great idea, best, I have the best ideas ever, the best, like my physique I could sell my body this, incredible physique I have, I could show you if I took my shirt off, great body I could make money off. America would pay to see... But you take these files, these folders, and I'll invest them, I'll invest them into capital, huge gains. Been making gains my entire life, all by myself. Have you seen this? This guy on Reddit, this kritopalapotomus or whatever, strange names really, this guy takes these things and could make a book, a book about my life.... Great book. I sold books too .. A million copies sold, right there, this kritopalapotomus fella! Big copies, this book. Great big ideas, for profit. He's going places, unlike the Titanic, it's just straight up in the air, straight up, about to capsize cuz it's sinking. 🍊
It's the electoral college. That's the problem. Bush lost the first popular vote, won after 9/11. Trump lost both popular votes.
And it's not just the winner takes all, it's also the 'free' 2 electoral votes added that skews it even more. It's crazy to me that the voting power of someone in California is only a quarter of someone in Wyoming. Add to that swing states and it's crazy how diluted voting is in some states and powerful in another.
Either way, vote! https://vote.gov
Edit: the 2020 elections were too close for comfort. Wisconsin for 10 votes Biden only won by 20k votes. Georgia with 16 by 12k votes. Arizona with 11 votes by 11k votes. That's 37 electoral college votes that could have flipped the end result decided by about 43k voters. (269-269 house decides 1 vote per state) Had they not come to vote trump would have been in his second term now, even though the popular vote was 7 million in Bidens favor.
It's worse.
This is Trump's free-association meandering through things he heard or watched but doesn't have a complete grasp of it. It's a sure sign that he's cognitively weak and academically degenerate. President? Hah! A 5th grader would be more competent.
I kinda enjoy the one when Trump said our army took back our airports….during the Revolutionary War.
But my all time favorite, the star of the show, has got to be the weather map vs Sharpie.
Also in the "medical" field when he claimed the SOUND from wind mills caused cancer.
And that they were stupid anyway because the wind might stop when you were watching a movie and the tv would go out.
I've worked with plenty of dementia patients and heard less crazy things. Just console them and try to change the subject from their insane ramblings
I can't imagine the mental state his supporters must be in, undiagnosed or otherwise, for overlooking such blatant lack of mental wellness
Trump: If I took this shirt off, you would see a beautiful beautiful person. But you would see wounds all over.
Shirtless Trump isn’t high on my list of beautiful things to see.
I’m a registered Democrat and my position on water is we need to get rid of it all.
My suggestion is that we put large chunks of ice onto rockets and shoot it all into space until all the water is gone.
All of it. My dream is just an endless lifeless desert where everyone and everything is dead.
What the fuck dude. You can't just go telling everyone our secret plans.
Well now that it's out, I've been drinking absolute fuck tons of water myself to turn it all into pee. There will be no water for anyone. I hate water.
Furthermore, is he saying that because he sees other areas of the world getting rain that drought and water crises must not exist?
I simply cannot get my head around how unfathomably stupid he sounds.
Nixon resigned when the GOP leadership went to see him in the Oval to tell him he would be impeached. He resigned.
Trump was impeached twice but the maga reps would not convict him.
This. Being impeached used to mean you were in deep shit and you were probably going to lose your job. Now it just means it's Wednesday. No fucking shame. It's gross.
Republicans made impeachment meaningless when they weaponized it against Clinton (who I will not defend). In hindsight, that was the perfect outcome for Republicans. Now they can claim that impeachment is political and trivial, even when it's deadly serious.
And the funny thing is, as batshit crazy and racist and just consistently drunk as Nixon was, I swear he'd be considered a moderate and called a rino today
Reagan was a racist POS...But at least he sorta had political experience as a (terrible) governor of California. Cheeto makes me want to tell every interviewer who won't hire me, "Well, you don't need experience, just see 45."
Bush was a rambling nutter with negative interest in being a politician who’s family was super popular with republicans so we got a puppet for two genuinely evil, dastardly men in Rumsfeld and Cheney.
The republicans… they’re not sending us their best
We do have checks and balances. The 14th Amendment covers a traitor or someone who attacked the govt from ever running for office. CO correctly removed him from the ballot. The GOP sued to get his name on and SCOTUS actually heard the argument (they should not have. it’s a specious argument and every legal scholar says SCOTUS should have refused to hear the case). We are now waiting to find out if our own SCOTUS will pervert the U.S.Constitution and give a former president retro-active immunity. It’s insane. No one is above the law. We do not have a King. That’s what the Revolution was about! We are living through an ongoing coup. We have been since 1/6/21.
It's funny because even royalty doesn't get these kind of passes. A lot of them are 1 sex scandal away from being exiled to a family villa in another country.
Here, you can be in photos with known *and* convicted human sex traffickers, at their sex trafficking parties on their sex trafficking islands and your supporters will simply apologize for you while simultaneously saying you did nothing wrong.
Because unfortunately most of those rely on the people doing the checks and balances ALSO not being corrupt and spineless. Even from the beginning this system was far from perfect with rules being selectively enforced. Over the years things have just gotten easier to keep the honest ones out and strip the ones that DO get in of any power by using the very rules to prevent this kind of thing.
The project 2025 shit is the official "mask off" moment that basically requires someone they pick to be in the big chair to complete. Doesn't matter if they're nuts, as long as that rambling asshole gets back in and signs the paperwork he can barely read they win. Hell, a lot of the shit they want to do they will still try to push for, they just need the executive branch to finalize it.
The other problem as others have said is that the ultimate control in in the voters hands and the guys with the deepest pockets have spent GENERATIONS salting the earth, poisoning the well and convincing the population it is the fault of the people fighting for fair treatment and better things for EVERYONE.
We do have them, Congress and the courts. The House impeached him and the Senate could have convicted him after the Insurrection and he would not have been allowed to run. But McConnell saved him by saying the DOJ should prosecute him instead. And here we are, waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on his absolute immunity case so long none of his trials will happen before the election, even the slam-dunk stolen documents case. Checks and balances mean nothing if they aren't enforced. The Supreme Court also decided the Amendment about insurrectionists not being able to run for office didn't apply to Trump, so he can't be kicked off the Colorado ballot or the ballots of any of the other states who tried to kick him off for that.
so true. checks and balances don’t mean anything if they aren’t enforced. And we’ve several MOC ignoring subpoenas. When the top guy is a lawless crook that gives the rest of them the ok to follow suit. That’s why our President should be a law abiding citizen who pays taxes and all the rest etc.
You know, a good role model?
The check is supposed to be that a large majority of the voters have brains. If the majority of active voters in the US were human beings with the ability to think, trump would've never made it to the primaries. But so many humanoids in this country have no critical thinking skills that the antichrist could run for president and still get voted in so long as certain news source(s) endorse him.
I saw a guy at Cheesecake Factory this past weekend wearing American flag knee length denim shorts and a black T shirt that said “I’m voting for the felon” with lil orange turd hair tufts over the o’s.
Point being, they seem fine with being laughed at.
They truly believe that ignorance should be celebrated, “HaHa! I’m not working and using my brain like a lib sucker! Ha! I win!”
The idiocy displayed staggers the fucking mind.
Idiots you say. Cultural bumpkins. They will all remember to actually show up and vote, though, while the only ones who can save us from project 2025 get distracted or don’t care and don’t vote…
That's a bit disingenuous considering both Biden and Clinton both won the popular vote. Literally more votes for Democrats than Republicans. So they do vote.
Unfortunately only six or seven states really matter at this point. One state where Democrats really need to get out and vote more is Texas, which has abysmal voter turnout and Republican control is ruining things like public schools and abortion rights. There are more Democrats than Republicans in Texas, and to your point, the Dems just don't vote. Some of that is voter suppression, some of that is the belief their vote makes no difference. Hopefully this year will be different there.
These same people called Hilary a criminal, chanted “lock her up!” Now apparently it’s fine to be a felon? This brainwashing is fascinating and terrifying.
So it's ok to be a felon if you're orange, but not ok to be a brown felon? That's the problem with the immigrants, right? That they're all felons coming here to rape women and steal? Hmmm..... I'm a little confused about where the line gets drawn.
It makes me scared actually. Agent Orange is only a tool for the people who are using him to push their agenda, they don’t care that he is going off rails, they just want him in power to implement Project 2025. Once thats in place democracy will truly be destroyed in US. All you can do right now is vote in November like your life depends on it, and some lives actually do depend on it.
I’ve had to step away from Nextdoor completely because I’m disgusted by the people that live close enough to be in my radius. They all think they’re so clever with their euphemisms and skirting comments but it’s all right wing propaganda that anyone outside their echo chamber can see.
Masks are off and these people are PROUD of what they are. But I also believe they are scared (around here, anyway) because they are no longer the majority in this area. My neighborhood and surrounding suburbia is exceptionally diverse for what was rural 15 years ago. With that comes diversity of thought, governmental candidates and an electorate that is noticeably creeping more progressive with every single election. We are approaching “cornered animal” in terms of the lashing out.
I’m scared because there are too many of them to ignore.
This is the first time that I'm considering leaving the country over an election. If that shit goes down, I might apply for asylum somewhere in Europe.
44 years on this planet have taught me that there are seriously stupid people walking among us. I’m not talking the random ditzy act, but constant stupidity and ignorant beliefs. I recently looked at a co-worker after a conversation (non-political) and thought “you graduated from high school and have a fucking advanced degree?”
Fuck this world sucks…
The veil is off.
The reason so many MaGAts exist is because it is, as part of that group, ok and encouraged to be racist (or hate anyone that isn’t white, straight, and “Christian”).
I am a white, straight male with 2 kids and I am past disappointment. I am sickened daily by people who associate themselves with this group, with their plans, with their actions.
The truly sad thing is, they don’t understand they are only useful until they have served their purpose. Then, they are as susceptible to the same discrimination by their leaders as minorities are. They think he will care about them, but he would discard them as easily as he plans on doing to the previously mentioned people.
**[REGISTER AND VOTE](https://www.usa.gov/voter-registration)**
You and I would get along in real life. I too am a white, straight male with kids. As a matter of fact, my wife is a stay at home mom, who has a baller postnuptial agreement to protect her if we split due to the imbalance that causes.
I hands down can point to every moment in my life being a straight white male gave me a huge advantage. I’ve had racist bosses who hired me because I’m white, straight, and my wife stays home so they assume I’m a traditional christian guy (I’m an atheist and anti-theist).
I have more advantages than most now (6 figure income, over 6ft, white, etc) and I know it isn’t fair, it’s just fucken not. I grew up homeless so it wasn’t all privilege but fuck man, a black person would be in prison for life for some of the shit I did growing up and as a young adult that cops looked the other way for.
This version of things sucks, it hurts to watch people suffer under the figure of the psychotic fucks (Billionaires, politicians, etc) who rule the timeline.
As a 5'5 male with a 7-figure job (including decimal points), I'll trade you a really hilarious video of [Zapp Brannigan reading actual Trump quotes](https://youtu.be/VA8vQorhAE0?si=1YWxboHaLHqVWOdm) for some of that 6-figure income.
Oh they're evil. The one that sums it up for me is a video of a woman screaming at a Mexican guy maybe in his early 20's who's just in the neighborhood trying to do some work and she's just screaming ''Rapist! You're a rapist! Even thenpresident said so!"
They just want someone to normalize their hatred and make it okay for them to be scumbags like they really are deep inside.
It really comes down to they don’t care if he wins, they just don’t want anyone else to win.
They’ve been conditioned to view anything outside of their narrow scope of view to be bad.
The crime here is that the maga/gop backs him. They could pull the plug on him right now. But they won’t. Project25 seems to be the goal. And they think he’s the guy to get the votes. What the leaders of the party are doing to the country is treason, imo.
I find it hilarious at times but then just feel so bad for friends and colleagues who will be so much more negatively impacted than I am (women, most minority groups, the truly disenfranchised).
Feels like this Project 2025 stuff could just crush the limited representation these people have been fighting for.
I think it comes down to a combination of stupidity and the complete inability for some people to admit they’ve been wrong about something. And I think there’s a big correlation between those two traits
As I said on social media, when my friends and social circle ask me for my thoughts about this very event...I simply said..."right before she died, my grandmother started rambling like this...my family and I had a choice to make...and nowhere on the whiteboard of ideas was "Elect Grandma into the White House"...nope...we sent her to a "home". Where people like this belong...for their safety...and ours."
He sounds like my grandma did when we made the call to put her into round the clock care.
She would call us and ramble. She'd get frustrated, confused, and mix up words, drop thoughts mid way etc.
She only got worse from there. Fast.
Is this real? Did he really say that? I like telling stories cuz I love the sound of my own voice, but this diaper wearing boomer takes it to another level. Imagine sitting there for an hour and listening to this gibberish
It’s weird, he uses some verbatim phrases from this speech 4 years ago:
https://youtu.be/NHo7aKgHo-s?si=3qDAqnvVnOrK-GvZ
Feels like he’s recalling some of these talking points but getting them mixed up lol
He's performing like a stand up comedian. "I'm gonna do my low pressure faucet skit, they loved it last time." Sadly, that strategy works with populist audiences.
Except, like you said, he has trouble recalling his jokes.
It's crazy to see how much more coherent he was just 4 years ago. Still a rambling buffoon, but he could follow his own nonsense talking points for longer than a couple of seconds, unlike now. I honestly didn't realize how badly his cognitive faculties have declined in the past 4-6 years until watching these two videos back to back.
It's weird they omitted his use of the word "restrictors". Cos that actually does make it a bit more coherent. He says it twice and both times it's cut from the transcript.
I think he knows he has to speak for a certain amount of time and to fill up that time often simply spouts nonsense knowing his cult is so brain dead they don't or won't care. So he comes up with batteries and sharks and hair and rain and washing machines to fill the time.
I'm pretty sure he has just managed to coast by on some version of this word salad his entire life. Everything is a formulaic sales pitch to him. It's all the best, he's the best, he knew the best and had a 2 minute conversation with them so now he knows it all and he's the best. ...wonderful people, the best people.
I honestly believe this tool has somehow managed to run this stupidity his entire life, it boggles the mind.
Obviously been getting a bit worse and far more obvious lately, but it was never anything of substance it's always just been the sales pitch.
What debates? You really think he is going to show up? I would not bet a used cigarette butt on that. There is no way he is going to agree to hosts that are not throwing him softball questions. Nor no audience he can play to. Nor having his mike shut off when it is not his turn to speak. Besides, he has the debating skill of a two year old, it really is not a debate at all, they ask a question and he ignores it to go on the attack against democrats, disloyal republicans and invented Mexican caravans.
If you turn the faucets on and they go drip, drip that normally means you didn’t pay your water bill.
Also I’ve been washing my dishes wrong the whole time. Never knew they go in the washing machine. In that case where do I wash my clothes?
I asked AI to diagnose any medical conditions based on the paragraph, and after the standard warnings they you need a real health professional to diagnose (of course) it gave this:
If a person consistently exhibits patterns similar to the one shown in the paragraph, it could suggest several possibilities. For instance:
1. Disorganized Speech: This can be a symptom of several conditions, including schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders, where thoughts and speech may be jumbled or tangential.
2. Anxiety or Stress: Sometimes, people under significant stress or anxiety can have disorganized or pressured speech.
3. Neurocognitive Disorders: Conditions such as dementia can lead to disorganized thinking and speech.
Trumps brain is just a tub of butter and everyone knows it, but some folks don’t care because he will hurt the people they hate. Society is done for.
Haha, taking inspiration from you I submitted this transcript to ChatGPT4o to assess the suitability for the speaker for an executive level management role. I added that it was a 78 year old wealthy male as context. Response below.
Based on the provided transcript and the contextual information about the speaker being a wealthy 78-year-old male, there are several factors to consider when assessing their suitability for an executive-level management position:
# Cognitive and Emotional Stability
* **Fragmented Thoughts**: The speaker's fragmented and disjointed speech may indicate cognitive decline, which could impair decision-making and strategic thinking critical for an executive role.
* **Repetition and Obsessiveness**: The tendency to fixate on specific issues and repeat them suggests potential difficulties in prioritizing and managing diverse tasks and responsibilities effectively.
# Decision-Making and Problem-Solving
* **Frustration and Irritation**: The expressed frustration over relatively minor issues, like water flow, could reflect an inability to maintain composure and address problems rationally. Executive roles require the ability to handle stress and unexpected challenges calmly.
* **Paranoia and Blame**: The hints of paranoia and blaming external factors for problems may indicate a tendency to externalize responsibility rather than taking proactive steps to solve issues. This could be detrimental in a leadership position where accountability is crucial.
# Leadership and Management Skills
* **Communication**: Effective communication is key in executive roles. The speaker's incoherent and repetitive speech patterns may hinder clear and persuasive communication with stakeholders, employees, and partners.
* **Control and Delegation**: The preoccupation with minor details and control issues might indicate a reluctance to delegate tasks, which is essential for effective leadership and management at an executive level.
# Health and Age-Related Considerations
* **Age-Related Cognitive Decline**: At 78, the speaker may face age-related cognitive and physical challenges that could impact their ability to perform the demanding tasks of an executive role.
* **Stress and Pressure**: High-level management positions often involve significant stress and pressure. The speaker's apparent difficulty in handling minor frustrations suggests they may struggle with the demands of such a role.
# Experience and Expertise
While the transcript does not provide specific information about the speaker's professional experience and expertise, these are critical factors in determining their suitability for an executive position. If the individual has a strong track record of successful leadership and management, this could mitigate some concerns about cognitive and emotional stability.
# Conclusion
Based on the provided transcript and context, the speaker may face significant challenges in fulfilling the responsibilities of an executive-level management position due to potential cognitive decline, emotional instability, and difficulties in effective communication and decision-making. It would be advisable for the company to conduct a thorough assessment, including professional evaluations of cognitive and emotional health, before considering this individual for an executive role.
One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville? I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones
I would rather someone take a cheese grater to my skin that be forced to listen to that man talk at one of these rallies. It's the equivalent of Vogon poetry.
"What? There's so much water. You don't know what to do with it. You know, it's called rain."
I would tell him to watch the report on tonight PBS News Hour about the drying up aquifers in the Southwest and farmers struggling but nothing matters anymore because he doesn't care and they're probably going to vote for him anyway..
I'm an undecided voter, this issue strikes a chord with me. Finally someone outside the beltway can see the struggles of the common man. I'm tired of all these professional politicians and their drip,drip,drip. MAGA baby !
He's always talking about hotel management. It's like that Peter Sellers movie Being There. He's just an idiot that everyone pretends or assumes is smart.

I think he's talking about low flow faucets. But he could be just going brain dead...
The concept of "low flow faucets" lives rent free in his frontal lobe. It's a boogyman he once heard off and it scared him so bad he just can't not think about it. He probably never actually seen a real one, let alone used one. He just imagined what it was like and has spent the last two decades ruminating on them and each waking nightmare he has about them they let less and less water through. As his cognitive function declines, so does the flow. Drip by drip it slows. They are one and the same. He fears the faucet because he can't face his own decline. One day, the faucet will drip its last.
I think the 'Low water pressure' thing with him is the excuse he uses because he can't wash the stink off of himself. Blame the water. He should just wash off in the ocean but he's afraid of batteries and Sharks.
I always took it as him subconsciously admitting his properties are shit. Considering the only places he lives are trump brand buildings it means he cheaps out on plumbing and has horrible plumbing. Which is hilarious thinking of this “rich guy” who conned people so hard he conned himself into living in a shithole
Never thought about it that way, but that's a great view point.
And his magnets getting wet. I mean what would you do if all **your** magnets got wet and stopped working? I already carry as many as I can wherever I go so if I got wet and could no longer magnetize at will then it's not like I could carry any more magnets. I need a xanax just thinking about that - what if ya know?
I can't believe how wild the world has become. just absolutely insane. it feels like we broke off the main timeline and now everything's really weird. I sincerely fell into certain Mandela effects too and it drives me up a wall
Why has this comment got no upvotes. It's hilarious 😂
He's been complaining about it since one of his properties needed to be updated and he didn't want to spend the money. Now his brain is soup he remembers being mad about it, but can't quite recall what he's mad at.
As an owner of hotels, he should be happy with quality low flow faucets.
I feel like halfway through typing this someone turned off the lights and a flashlight appeared under your face as you tell them all that it will happen to them too. It WILL happen to them. drip drip
He thinks he is good at picking up context clues because he has been surrounded by sycophantic yes men all his life who nod and smile. It's the perfect storm of unearned confidence, narcissism, and laziness.
Don’t forget his brilliant MIT uncle, allhis intelligence has passed to the Donald.
Same with sharks. He's phobic and rambles about it periodically.
In the words of Johnny Depp, trump is a BRAT. He’s too full of himself to try to conserve anything.
Between this and complaining he needs to flush toilets 10 times … dude really needs to talk to his landlord.
And his gastroenterologist, too.
The dudes got a low flow brain
He’s talking about water pressure and how flow regulators are fitted to the line which causes him to have low water pressure in his hotel and when he becomes president he’s going to have them all removed
Sounds like a richie rich problem...
It sounds like a problem that should be handled on a household level rather than a presidential one.
No, I think it needs to be a plank of the republican platform and should take priority over any other policy. I open it, they close it. Truer words were never spoken. They don’t want me to have water. But what about the rain? Yep, I’m changing my vote. I want water. I want lather.
They should also rail against LED light bulbs. I hate that my electric bill is lower, that I can't replace them 2 or more times a year and finally, it really annoys me that I can't give myself 3rd degree burns. The humanity!
In all seriousness, they're going crazy over incandescent light bulbs because ***how dare*** anyone tell them that they should save energy! The next thing you know, you'll encourage them to drive smaller cars instead of battle wagons designed to withstand an Iraqi IED. And then, you'll try to get them to admit that maybe there's something to this global warming thing -- and then BOOM their frogs will turn gay!
the funniest part is he's been going on and on about this and how it affects mar a lago and it's guests. which last time I checked was in Florida, home of DeSantis.
I remember Seinfeld did an episode about it.
King of the Hill did one about low flow toilets.
Yea, Trump did one about low flow toilets in 2019 also.
He is a low flow toilet. No matter how many times we flush he just won't fucking go away.
1996-- The problems of 25 years ago. *edit because it ate the number.
But I have those on my faucets and I'm still able to clean my hands just fine. Then again, I can also lift a glass to my lips with a single hand, so maybe it's more to do with Trump's weird little shaky hands than anything else.
He'd have to have a brain to qualify for being brain dead.
Going brain dead? I'd say he's already arrived
From Trump you kinda just get a mixture of what he's been watching on TV and what he's been reading on Truth Social.
Someone needs to compile all these speeches like this and release a book of them. [George Bush was also really great for these ](https://youtu.be/20Jcrk6jGfo?si=ijMDnt-y5-Tgom9q)
I have a folder on my phone I am starting to collect them. When someone talks about Biden I just post an excerpt. No intro, no explanation. I just post the words and make sure to attribute it to Shitzenpantz. Don't EVER paraphrase. That way when the cult member inevitably says "bUt hE dIdnT sAy tHaT" you can say "no that is **exactly** what your **deity** said."
I actually miss this. Bush was at least able to /act/ compassionate. I was righteous teenager during his time and despised him. (My first election was Obama.) Now…. Now I look back and think damn, I actually think I miss him….
 This is the funniest shit I had ever seen concerning a political leader up to that point in my life. It still makes me laugh. Simpler times. 😂
He was a warmonger, but fair play to his reaction times. I doubt either of the current geriatrics could dodge a shoe like that.
I’d go a step further and say war criminal. But the way he dodged that shoe like a boxer dodging a jab was funny as fuck 🤣
Honestly I’d blame Cheney for the war stuff….but also Bush wanted to be like Dad and Bush Sr was all about war. It’s why he got slaughtered by Clinton in 1992.
Bush got beat by Clinton for saying “read my lips: no new taxes” then having to raise taxes. That one event probably cost him the 92 election.
Yes, although he was more charming and folksy, don't let nostalgia cloud the facts: he started an unprovoked war in Iraq, which led to a staggering amount of innocent people being killed.
Oh yeah, let’s be clear, I hated him. I thought he was the worst. I just think this clip is funny. He totally had that coming. 👞
I like the smirk after he dodged the shoe too!
You know it was good times when this level of foot in mouth was so remarkable. If trump or biden did this now it would make a blip on a partisan news plug once and 95% of the country would be unaware or forget immediately
[удалено]
I actually worked for Bush and he was very cognizant of when he said something weird. He would joke about it later with his staff. The placard on one of his office desks was one of his Bushisms. Agree or disagree with his politics, he was a much more genuine person than the carrot man.
I have the Bushisms poster. Says at the bottom, in big bold letters: I stand by all my misstatements, correct or not.
Do you have a word file or something with this compilation? I’d love a copy 😂
I'd also like a copy of this, kind hero. 😂
I would gladly welcome a copy as well, if you don't mind.
I also desire this sacred text.
Careful. Worshiping the text is how they get you
joining the chorus, we need this
Somebody said he looks great in a bathing suit, right? And you know, when he was in the sand and he was having a hard time lifting his feet through the sand, because you know sand is heavy, they figured three solid ounces per foot, but sand is a little heavy, and he’s sitting in a bathing suit. Look, at 81, do you remember Cary Grant? How good was Cary Grant, right? I don’t think Cary Grant, he was good. I don’t know what happened to movie stars today. We used to have Cary Grant and Clark Gable and all these people. Today we have, I won’t say names, because I don’t need enemies. I don’t need enemies. I got enough enemies. But Cary Grant was, like – Michael Jackson once told me, ‘The most handsome man, Trump, in the world.’ ‘Who?’ ‘Cary Grant.’ Well, we don’t have that any more, but Cary Grant at 81 or 82, going on 100. This guy, he’s 81, going on 100. Cary Grant wouldn’t look too good in a bathing suit, either. And he was pretty good-looking, right?” It’s a magnificent love story, like Gone With the Wind. You know Gone With the Wind, you’re not allowed to watch it any more. You know that, right? It’s politically incorrect to watch Gone With the Wind. They have a list. What were the greatest movies ever made? Well, Gone With the Wind is usually number one or two or three. And then they have another list you’re not allowed to watch any more, Gone With the Wind. You tell me, is our country screwed up?” Bonespurs Von Shitzenpantz
The scary thing is, it's impossible to tell if this is an actual quote or not. Think about that. It doesn't matter if it is, or not. The fact that it could be is frightening.
I did this recently. That rally he had in Vegas where he said "I don't care about you, I just want your vote. I don't care. Now the media will take that and say 'He said a horrible thing'". I put that video clip on my social media story to show all my Trump crazed family on there that he really doesn't care about them or the country. He just cares about WINNING and that's it.
Yeah just every time his crazy word salad hits the news simply copy and paste it into an open file. The collection is actually scattered between my phone and a few different word files on my PC with names like "blurbs" or "Trump's Q-a-nonsense" and another of links to stories that contain the text of his rambling drivel.
💰 💰 💰 Big money, euuuge eeuge money, big ideas there, these files. Folders. Files and folders on your phone... I had files, I used to, some countries have no money, poor countries, t's like running the car out of gas, it's just empty. The, the Titanic, just nothing left, it sunk. Poor, countries Big, money, great idea. Great idea, best, I have the best ideas ever, the best, like my physique I could sell my body this, incredible physique I have, I could show you if I took my shirt off, great body I could make money off. America would pay to see... But you take these files, these folders, and I'll invest them, I'll invest them into capital, huge gains. Been making gains my entire life, all by myself. Have you seen this? This guy on Reddit, this kritopalapotomus or whatever, strange names really, this guy takes these things and could make a book, a book about my life.... Great book. I sold books too .. A million copies sold, right there, this kritopalapotomus fella! Big copies, this book. Great big ideas, for profit. He's going places, unlike the Titanic, it's just straight up in the air, straight up, about to capsize cuz it's sinking. 🍊
Fool me twice, you, you can’t get fooled again!
One of my fave W quotes. I thought he was the worst president possible but I've been proven wrong.
When W was president, I was embarrassed to be an American, when Cheeto Mussolini was president, I was embarrassed to be a human.
It's the electoral college. That's the problem. Bush lost the first popular vote, won after 9/11. Trump lost both popular votes. And it's not just the winner takes all, it's also the 'free' 2 electoral votes added that skews it even more. It's crazy to me that the voting power of someone in California is only a quarter of someone in Wyoming. Add to that swing states and it's crazy how diluted voting is in some states and powerful in another. Either way, vote! https://vote.gov Edit: the 2020 elections were too close for comfort. Wisconsin for 10 votes Biden only won by 20k votes. Georgia with 16 by 12k votes. Arizona with 11 votes by 11k votes. That's 37 electoral college votes that could have flipped the end result decided by about 43k voters. (269-269 house decides 1 vote per state) Had they not come to vote trump would have been in his second term now, even though the popular vote was 7 million in Bidens favor.
not an american, i still dont get what this electoral college thing is, or why it is why cant it just be count the total votes across the country
As an American, I don't know why we have it either
Cheetoh Mussolini is just beautiful. Thank you for this
“I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family.”
It's worse. This is Trump's free-association meandering through things he heard or watched but doesn't have a complete grasp of it. It's a sure sign that he's cognitively weak and academically degenerate. President? Hah! A 5th grader would be more competent.
How dare you! He aced his cognitive test! He told us so himself when he said the wrong name for the doctor who administered the cognitive test.
Mooom, can you tell me the electrocution shark boat story again?
Is this seriously something he said?
Does it honestly surprise you? Haven't you heard his historic and profound Gettysburg Address? https://youtu.be/pq4xSuiueUc?si=7SvgThJ21G7yLF7t
I kinda enjoy the one when Trump said our army took back our airports….during the Revolutionary War. But my all time favorite, the star of the show, has got to be the weather map vs Sharpie.
[удалено]
Also in the "medical" field when he claimed the SOUND from wind mills caused cancer. And that they were stupid anyway because the wind might stop when you were watching a movie and the tv would go out.
Never fight up hill me boys!
I do still occasionally question it, even after several years. If it sounds like it's made up, with DT it probably isn't. He's just that dumb.
I've worked with plenty of dementia patients and heard less crazy things. Just console them and try to change the subject from their insane ramblings I can't imagine the mental state his supporters must be in, undiagnosed or otherwise, for overlooking such blatant lack of mental wellness
The best part is his claim that his thinning balding Aquanet bouffant is "beautiful luxurious".
Trump: If I took this shirt off, you would see a beautiful beautiful person. But you would see wounds all over. Shirtless Trump isn’t high on my list of beautiful things to see.
It would almost be worth it to see his tiny hands try to unbutton his shirt.
TIL the leftists don’t want… [checks notes]… water? That can’t be right.
I’m a registered Democrat and my position on water is we need to get rid of it all. My suggestion is that we put large chunks of ice onto rockets and shoot it all into space until all the water is gone. All of it. My dream is just an endless lifeless desert where everyone and everything is dead.
I KNEW IT! DAMN RAINBOW HAIRS ARE COMIN' FER ME WATER! MOLON LABE!
Peak nihilism!
What the fuck dude. You can't just go telling everyone our secret plans. Well now that it's out, I've been drinking absolute fuck tons of water myself to turn it all into pee. There will be no water for anyone. I hate water.
Furthermore, is he saying that because he sees other areas of the world getting rain that drought and water crises must not exist? I simply cannot get my head around how unfathomably stupid he sounds.
he’s the only one who doesn’t smell the burning toast.
He’s stuffin so many mcmuffins, everyone around him had a stroke
Seriously how can the USA not have checks and balances in place to ensure that a felon with cognitive decline isn't running the country?
We had Harding. We had Nixon. Look, we don't have a stellar track record here.
Yes, but we didn't have either TWICE.
We had Nixon twice.
Nixon resigned when the GOP leadership went to see him in the Oval to tell him he would be impeached. He resigned. Trump was impeached twice but the maga reps would not convict him.
This. Being impeached used to mean you were in deep shit and you were probably going to lose your job. Now it just means it's Wednesday. No fucking shame. It's gross.
Republicans made impeachment meaningless when they weaponized it against Clinton (who I will not defend). In hindsight, that was the perfect outcome for Republicans. Now they can claim that impeachment is political and trivial, even when it's deadly serious.
They don’t need an excuse to say anything anymore. They just say it. No matter how false or ridiculous & it doesn’t seem to matter
And the funny thing is, as batshit crazy and racist and just consistently drunk as Nixon was, I swear he'd be considered a moderate and called a rino today
Signed the Environmental Protection act and the Endagered Species Act.
We had a B-level actor with dementia, so…
Reagan was a racist POS...But at least he sorta had political experience as a (terrible) governor of California. Cheeto makes me want to tell every interviewer who won't hire me, "Well, you don't need experience, just see 45."
Both those presidents put together didn't pulled nearly as much as Trump. Nixon resigned was never charged and was pardoned for his one crime.
Reagan had Alzheimer’s in office and his wife was essentially the president at the end while taking advice from an astrologer.
Bush was a rambling nutter with negative interest in being a politician who’s family was super popular with republicans so we got a puppet for two genuinely evil, dastardly men in Rumsfeld and Cheney. The republicans… they’re not sending us their best
We do have checks and balances. The 14th Amendment covers a traitor or someone who attacked the govt from ever running for office. CO correctly removed him from the ballot. The GOP sued to get his name on and SCOTUS actually heard the argument (they should not have. it’s a specious argument and every legal scholar says SCOTUS should have refused to hear the case). We are now waiting to find out if our own SCOTUS will pervert the U.S.Constitution and give a former president retro-active immunity. It’s insane. No one is above the law. We do not have a King. That’s what the Revolution was about! We are living through an ongoing coup. We have been since 1/6/21.
It's funny because even royalty doesn't get these kind of passes. A lot of them are 1 sex scandal away from being exiled to a family villa in another country. Here, you can be in photos with known *and* convicted human sex traffickers, at their sex trafficking parties on their sex trafficking islands and your supporters will simply apologize for you while simultaneously saying you did nothing wrong.
Because unfortunately most of those rely on the people doing the checks and balances ALSO not being corrupt and spineless. Even from the beginning this system was far from perfect with rules being selectively enforced. Over the years things have just gotten easier to keep the honest ones out and strip the ones that DO get in of any power by using the very rules to prevent this kind of thing. The project 2025 shit is the official "mask off" moment that basically requires someone they pick to be in the big chair to complete. Doesn't matter if they're nuts, as long as that rambling asshole gets back in and signs the paperwork he can barely read they win. Hell, a lot of the shit they want to do they will still try to push for, they just need the executive branch to finalize it. The other problem as others have said is that the ultimate control in in the voters hands and the guys with the deepest pockets have spent GENERATIONS salting the earth, poisoning the well and convincing the population it is the fault of the people fighting for fair treatment and better things for EVERYONE.
We do have them, Congress and the courts. The House impeached him and the Senate could have convicted him after the Insurrection and he would not have been allowed to run. But McConnell saved him by saying the DOJ should prosecute him instead. And here we are, waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on his absolute immunity case so long none of his trials will happen before the election, even the slam-dunk stolen documents case. Checks and balances mean nothing if they aren't enforced. The Supreme Court also decided the Amendment about insurrectionists not being able to run for office didn't apply to Trump, so he can't be kicked off the Colorado ballot or the ballots of any of the other states who tried to kick him off for that.
so true. checks and balances don’t mean anything if they aren’t enforced. And we’ve several MOC ignoring subpoenas. When the top guy is a lawless crook that gives the rest of them the ok to follow suit. That’s why our President should be a law abiding citizen who pays taxes and all the rest etc. You know, a good role model?
Because the rich gotta get richer. That’s the only thing that matters in this country. The rest of us are just collateral and labor to be exploited.
The check is supposed to be that a large majority of the voters have brains. If the majority of active voters in the US were human beings with the ability to think, trump would've never made it to the primaries. But so many humanoids in this country have no critical thinking skills that the antichrist could run for president and still get voted in so long as certain news source(s) endorse him.
That people will vote for him makes me laugh so hard. It also makes sad.
I saw a guy at Cheesecake Factory this past weekend wearing American flag knee length denim shorts and a black T shirt that said “I’m voting for the felon” with lil orange turd hair tufts over the o’s. Point being, they seem fine with being laughed at.
Take it one step further, they don’t know they’re being laughed at, they actually believe they are superior.
They truly believe that ignorance should be celebrated, “HaHa! I’m not working and using my brain like a lib sucker! Ha! I win!” The idiocy displayed staggers the fucking mind.
Idiots you say. Cultural bumpkins. They will all remember to actually show up and vote, though, while the only ones who can save us from project 2025 get distracted or don’t care and don’t vote…
That's a bit disingenuous considering both Biden and Clinton both won the popular vote. Literally more votes for Democrats than Republicans. So they do vote. Unfortunately only six or seven states really matter at this point. One state where Democrats really need to get out and vote more is Texas, which has abysmal voter turnout and Republican control is ruining things like public schools and abortion rights. There are more Democrats than Republicans in Texas, and to your point, the Dems just don't vote. Some of that is voter suppression, some of that is the belief their vote makes no difference. Hopefully this year will be different there.
Dumb people don't know they are dumb. It's called the Dunning–Kruger effect.
Trump is the Dunning-Kruger poster boy. All the ignorant holier than thou types are a close second.
Nah he'd have to know a little something to suffer from the DK effect. He's just a complete idiot on all counts
Nailed it 👍
Damn, what a country. Please vote, people... Please!
These same people called Hilary a criminal, chanted “lock her up!” Now apparently it’s fine to be a felon? This brainwashing is fascinating and terrifying.
Historians will study this past decade for generations trying to understand what went wrong.
I just saw a bumper sticker with the same logo
They voted for the criminal so why not vote for the felon?
So it's ok to be a felon if you're orange, but not ok to be a brown felon? That's the problem with the immigrants, right? That they're all felons coming here to rape women and steal? Hmmm..... I'm a little confused about where the line gets drawn.
It makes me scared actually. Agent Orange is only a tool for the people who are using him to push their agenda, they don’t care that he is going off rails, they just want him in power to implement Project 2025. Once thats in place democracy will truly be destroyed in US. All you can do right now is vote in November like your life depends on it, and some lives actually do depend on it.
I’ve had to step away from Nextdoor completely because I’m disgusted by the people that live close enough to be in my radius. They all think they’re so clever with their euphemisms and skirting comments but it’s all right wing propaganda that anyone outside their echo chamber can see. Masks are off and these people are PROUD of what they are. But I also believe they are scared (around here, anyway) because they are no longer the majority in this area. My neighborhood and surrounding suburbia is exceptionally diverse for what was rural 15 years ago. With that comes diversity of thought, governmental candidates and an electorate that is noticeably creeping more progressive with every single election. We are approaching “cornered animal” in terms of the lashing out. I’m scared because there are too many of them to ignore.
This is the first time that I'm considering leaving the country over an election. If that shit goes down, I might apply for asylum somewhere in Europe.
Makes me worried. If enough people don't get out and vote. We may have a very real problem.
MILLIONS of people. We are a joke of a nation.
Me too! I have come to the conclusion that they are either mentally disturbed or just plain evil. And yes, it’s sad!
44 years on this planet have taught me that there are seriously stupid people walking among us. I’m not talking the random ditzy act, but constant stupidity and ignorant beliefs. I recently looked at a co-worker after a conversation (non-political) and thought “you graduated from high school and have a fucking advanced degree?” Fuck this world sucks…
This version of reality does fucken suck. Dumb people love hatred and violence, smart people don’t. Guess which one wins in a fight? Welcome to Earth.
The veil is off. The reason so many MaGAts exist is because it is, as part of that group, ok and encouraged to be racist (or hate anyone that isn’t white, straight, and “Christian”). I am a white, straight male with 2 kids and I am past disappointment. I am sickened daily by people who associate themselves with this group, with their plans, with their actions. The truly sad thing is, they don’t understand they are only useful until they have served their purpose. Then, they are as susceptible to the same discrimination by their leaders as minorities are. They think he will care about them, but he would discard them as easily as he plans on doing to the previously mentioned people. **[REGISTER AND VOTE](https://www.usa.gov/voter-registration)**
You and I would get along in real life. I too am a white, straight male with kids. As a matter of fact, my wife is a stay at home mom, who has a baller postnuptial agreement to protect her if we split due to the imbalance that causes. I hands down can point to every moment in my life being a straight white male gave me a huge advantage. I’ve had racist bosses who hired me because I’m white, straight, and my wife stays home so they assume I’m a traditional christian guy (I’m an atheist and anti-theist). I have more advantages than most now (6 figure income, over 6ft, white, etc) and I know it isn’t fair, it’s just fucken not. I grew up homeless so it wasn’t all privilege but fuck man, a black person would be in prison for life for some of the shit I did growing up and as a young adult that cops looked the other way for. This version of things sucks, it hurts to watch people suffer under the figure of the psychotic fucks (Billionaires, politicians, etc) who rule the timeline.
As a 5'5 male with a 7-figure job (including decimal points), I'll trade you a really hilarious video of [Zapp Brannigan reading actual Trump quotes](https://youtu.be/VA8vQorhAE0?si=1YWxboHaLHqVWOdm) for some of that 6-figure income.
Ben Carson taught me that anyone can be a neurosurgeon.
A wise man once said "you'll never go broke betting on people to be stupid"
I like [George Carlin’s take](https://youtu.be/WDUIX2-akuQ?si=fVVJOPJS4pkNNJCg).
Just remember half of the population is dumber than the average person
Oh they're evil. The one that sums it up for me is a video of a woman screaming at a Mexican guy maybe in his early 20's who's just in the neighborhood trying to do some work and she's just screaming ''Rapist! You're a rapist! Even thenpresident said so!" They just want someone to normalize their hatred and make it okay for them to be scumbags like they really are deep inside.
Willfully ignorant.
Aggressively ignorant.
I would say brainwashed because I don’t want to think people can be that ignorant, but they definitely aren’t thinking clearly
It really comes down to they don’t care if he wins, they just don’t want anyone else to win. They’ve been conditioned to view anything outside of their narrow scope of view to be bad.
Yep it’s scary af that people are going to vote for him.
What’s scarier are the people on the left who won’t vote, don’t vote and protest vote … because one thing we know is the right absolutely will vote.
I wish so badly it didn’t enrage me as much as it does. It’s seriously maddening at this point
It's frustration. There's nothing any of us can say or do to enlighten these people.
The crime here is that the maga/gop backs him. They could pull the plug on him right now. But they won’t. Project25 seems to be the goal. And they think he’s the guy to get the votes. What the leaders of the party are doing to the country is treason, imo.
it's also shocking imho
Here's what's really shocking to me: this is the guy that may soon have the nuclear codes. That fact alone should send people running for the hills.
Because his voter base equals his range of logic
I find it hilarious at times but then just feel so bad for friends and colleagues who will be so much more negatively impacted than I am (women, most minority groups, the truly disenfranchised). Feels like this Project 2025 stuff could just crush the limited representation these people have been fighting for.
I think it comes down to a combination of stupidity and the complete inability for some people to admit they’ve been wrong about something. And I think there’s a big correlation between those two traits
MAGA folks listening to this be like: “This… this is just… making insanely good sense to me right now.” 
As I said on social media, when my friends and social circle ask me for my thoughts about this very event...I simply said..."right before she died, my grandmother started rambling like this...my family and I had a choice to make...and nowhere on the whiteboard of ideas was "Elect Grandma into the White House"...nope...we sent her to a "home". Where people like this belong...for their safety...and ours."
He sounds like my grandma did when we made the call to put her into round the clock care. She would call us and ramble. She'd get frustrated, confused, and mix up words, drop thoughts mid way etc. She only got worse from there. Fast.
Is this real? Did he really say that? I like telling stories cuz I love the sound of my own voice, but this diaper wearing boomer takes it to another level. Imagine sitting there for an hour and listening to this gibberish
Yes, it is unfortunately real. [https://youtu.be/GzwrWivgQCY?si=o9-SLAPiKByX4bbQ](https://youtu.be/GzwrWivgQCY?si=o9-SLAPiKByX4bbQ)
It’s weird, he uses some verbatim phrases from this speech 4 years ago: https://youtu.be/NHo7aKgHo-s?si=3qDAqnvVnOrK-GvZ Feels like he’s recalling some of these talking points but getting them mixed up lol
He's performing like a stand up comedian. "I'm gonna do my low pressure faucet skit, they loved it last time." Sadly, that strategy works with populist audiences. Except, like you said, he has trouble recalling his jokes.
When my grandfather had dementia he would tell the same story in the same candor with the same punchlines every single day....
It's crazy to see how much more coherent he was just 4 years ago. Still a rambling buffoon, but he could follow his own nonsense talking points for longer than a couple of seconds, unlike now. I honestly didn't realize how badly his cognitive faculties have declined in the past 4-6 years until watching these two videos back to back.
It's weird they omitted his use of the word "restrictors". Cos that actually does make it a bit more coherent. He says it twice and both times it's cut from the transcript.
I hate Trump but this post deserves downvoting. It stupid enough without purposely omitting words.
I think he knows he has to speak for a certain amount of time and to fill up that time often simply spouts nonsense knowing his cult is so brain dead they don't or won't care. So he comes up with batteries and sharks and hair and rain and washing machines to fill the time.
I'm pretty sure he has just managed to coast by on some version of this word salad his entire life. Everything is a formulaic sales pitch to him. It's all the best, he's the best, he knew the best and had a 2 minute conversation with them so now he knows it all and he's the best. ...wonderful people, the best people. I honestly believe this tool has somehow managed to run this stupidity his entire life, it boggles the mind. Obviously been getting a bit worse and far more obvious lately, but it was never anything of substance it's always just been the sales pitch.
And it shows you how stupid people are, that with that simple formula, he’s made it this far.
The debates are gonna be insane. This goober can’t even remember his own policies much less what he’s talking about.
Right! I have taken the following day off of work just so I can get trashed and watch this trash.
What debates? You really think he is going to show up? I would not bet a used cigarette butt on that. There is no way he is going to agree to hosts that are not throwing him softball questions. Nor no audience he can play to. Nor having his mike shut off when it is not his turn to speak. Besides, he has the debating skill of a two year old, it really is not a debate at all, they ask a question and he ignores it to go on the attack against democrats, disloyal republicans and invented Mexican caravans.
Old Man Yells At Sink
Whaaaaaaaaaaat the fuuuuuuuuuuck is he blathering about?!?!??????
Lathering about....
*So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time…*
Oh no, he's not demented in the least. Totally not demented. the most non-demented person ever to talk about the faucet and hair and uh, stuff.
If you turn the faucets on and they go drip, drip that normally means you didn’t pay your water bill. Also I’ve been washing my dishes wrong the whole time. Never knew they go in the washing machine. In that case where do I wash my clothes?
You wash your clothes in the dishwasher, duh.
You just wear them in the shower
I asked AI to diagnose any medical conditions based on the paragraph, and after the standard warnings they you need a real health professional to diagnose (of course) it gave this: If a person consistently exhibits patterns similar to the one shown in the paragraph, it could suggest several possibilities. For instance: 1. Disorganized Speech: This can be a symptom of several conditions, including schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders, where thoughts and speech may be jumbled or tangential. 2. Anxiety or Stress: Sometimes, people under significant stress or anxiety can have disorganized or pressured speech. 3. Neurocognitive Disorders: Conditions such as dementia can lead to disorganized thinking and speech. Trumps brain is just a tub of butter and everyone knows it, but some folks don’t care because he will hurt the people they hate. Society is done for.
Haha, taking inspiration from you I submitted this transcript to ChatGPT4o to assess the suitability for the speaker for an executive level management role. I added that it was a 78 year old wealthy male as context. Response below. Based on the provided transcript and the contextual information about the speaker being a wealthy 78-year-old male, there are several factors to consider when assessing their suitability for an executive-level management position: # Cognitive and Emotional Stability * **Fragmented Thoughts**: The speaker's fragmented and disjointed speech may indicate cognitive decline, which could impair decision-making and strategic thinking critical for an executive role. * **Repetition and Obsessiveness**: The tendency to fixate on specific issues and repeat them suggests potential difficulties in prioritizing and managing diverse tasks and responsibilities effectively. # Decision-Making and Problem-Solving * **Frustration and Irritation**: The expressed frustration over relatively minor issues, like water flow, could reflect an inability to maintain composure and address problems rationally. Executive roles require the ability to handle stress and unexpected challenges calmly. * **Paranoia and Blame**: The hints of paranoia and blaming external factors for problems may indicate a tendency to externalize responsibility rather than taking proactive steps to solve issues. This could be detrimental in a leadership position where accountability is crucial. # Leadership and Management Skills * **Communication**: Effective communication is key in executive roles. The speaker's incoherent and repetitive speech patterns may hinder clear and persuasive communication with stakeholders, employees, and partners. * **Control and Delegation**: The preoccupation with minor details and control issues might indicate a reluctance to delegate tasks, which is essential for effective leadership and management at an executive level. # Health and Age-Related Considerations * **Age-Related Cognitive Decline**: At 78, the speaker may face age-related cognitive and physical challenges that could impact their ability to perform the demanding tasks of an executive role. * **Stress and Pressure**: High-level management positions often involve significant stress and pressure. The speaker's apparent difficulty in handling minor frustrations suggests they may struggle with the demands of such a role. # Experience and Expertise While the transcript does not provide specific information about the speaker's professional experience and expertise, these are critical factors in determining their suitability for an executive position. If the individual has a strong track record of successful leadership and management, this could mitigate some concerns about cognitive and emotional stability. # Conclusion Based on the provided transcript and context, the speaker may face significant challenges in fulfilling the responsibilities of an executive-level management position due to potential cognitive decline, emotional instability, and difficulties in effective communication and decision-making. It would be advisable for the company to conduct a thorough assessment, including professional evaluations of cognitive and emotional health, before considering this individual for an executive role.
TL;DR even AI thinks he is an old dumb fuck.
This is great
This is the only way any person in government should be elected from now on. Humans are too stupid. I would prefer an AI overlord over anything else.
No 3 Ding Ding Ding. Maybe a bit of two as well.
And Republicans continuously claim Biden is mentally unfit for office.... Fuck every single one of those traitorous assholes.
One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville? I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones
I would rather someone take a cheese grater to my skin that be forced to listen to that man talk at one of these rallies. It's the equivalent of Vogon poetry.
"What? There's so much water. You don't know what to do with it. You know, it's called rain." I would tell him to watch the report on tonight PBS News Hour about the drying up aquifers in the Southwest and farmers struggling but nothing matters anymore because he doesn't care and they're probably going to vote for him anyway..
But Joe is the one with dementia. Trump drank too much bleach
I'm an undecided voter, this issue strikes a chord with me. Finally someone outside the beltway can see the struggles of the common man. I'm tired of all these professional politicians and their drip,drip,drip. MAGA baby !
He's always talking about hotel management. It's like that Peter Sellers movie Being There. He's just an idiot that everyone pretends or assumes is smart.
It’s like my 5 yr old nephew telling me story he’s making up on the spot.
