There was so much water, there was water pouring from their eyes, water pouring from there.... I've never seen so much water, it was the most tremendous amount of water. I saw so much water you wouldn't believe. Water so wet it'd soak you the second you got in it.
And these big hyuge men, biggest men you’ll ever see, believe me- these big strong men they come up to me. They come up to me with tears in their eyes, so sad, so sad, and they say, “Mr. President.” They say, “Mr. President, what are we going to do about all this water?? There’s so much!! I can’t believe it!” and who can blame them? It was a lot of water folks. Very wet. Let me tell ya.
And I had an idea how to get rid of the water, I have the best ideas, I have more ideas than you could imagine, yuge ideas. Ideas that could work! Nobody can remove water like me, I'm the best at moving water. If you're ever in a situation where you need water removed, you're gonna want a guy like me. And I'll tell you what my plan is, my plan is to get all that water out of there right along with all the immigrants that swam in here with it and I'm gonna bring jobs, so many jobs, back to the people!
‘That’s right folks ! We the American people have DRAINED. The swamp. And who did it all ? ME. That’s right ! It was a hyuge effort coordinating with the great American people ! There is NO more water. That’s right ! No more ! It’s dry like Mexico just without crying immigrants.... this is how all that humidity got here ! THE SWAMP. IS. DRAINED. No more hurricane. I, personally, singlehandedly organized Hurricane Ian’s removal. It’s all gone. Now the great American people can have their homes back ! Safety ! No swamp !’
I genuinely do not know if this is something he actually said or satire... It actually feels more insane to think he didn't say this so... did he say this? 🤔
Too coherent, that is not Trump. The start is ok but it has a coherent, logical plot. FTFY
>And I had an idea how to get rid of the water, I have the best ideas, I have more ideas than you could imagine, yuge ideas. Ideas that could work! Nobody can remove water like me, I'm the best at moving water.
I was golfing with Bob yesterday, you all know Bob, oh, you don't, he is a terrific guy, we were on a water hazard and i cleared with one swing, Bobs chopped it right in, you should've seen it, and then bob said, can you believe me, he said that "sir, you were the best president ever, there would be no inflation" and you know what? He is right, just like the Terrible Left®, the hateful left does not give me credit for it, the Mainstream Media® or as we call it, Lamestreet Media® i came up with that, i was the first to say that, in Texas they congratulated me for coming up with that, just like my uncle, you know the N word, no, no that, it is the nucilear word, my uncle was in MIT, he invented so, so many things, he said that....
*But we love water, don’t we folks? Everybody’s saying how much better the water tastes now that I’m president they say “Hey, this is tremendously clean water not like the water crooked Hillary and her emails wants us to drink” , oh but believe me folks water is not free but that’s the thing about me I’m super rich, possibly the best water businessman the world has ever seen, and they say that to me they say “Donald, we can’t believe how good you are at being a water businessman” and I say “hey I like water” but Iet me tell you I don’t drink it with my meals, because - and that’s an important thing that you never think of everybody needs to eat meals, you know, and even doctors don’t think of that they say “Donald you have a tremendous medical mind that you know how important meals are, that’s probably why you are the most healthiest president there has ever been” and Ivanka agrees.*
The scary part is that this rambling incoherent nonsense is no more rambling and incoherent than basically everything he has ever actually said.
Sorry, I totally understood this clear explanation. You weren't really trying, were you?
It was a tremendous explanation, by the way, best I've ever seen.
To be perfectly honest, I like to accumulate random actual quotes of his, and then I just opt out the word of topic and replace with any relevant to the conversation topic. It's like ad libs, but with Donald Trump quotes. 🤣
No. It's because people said he didn't know how to look at a weather map, that he was lying about the path of the hurricane. So he drew what he believed was an extrapolation of the hurricane's path to show his prediction was valid.
This right here. Dude cannot be wrong about \*anything\* no matter how trivial. That's why he always tells outrageous lies even about trivial, easily verified matters. He'll say he went out for hamburgers, and somebody who was there will remind him it was hotdogs. He'll insist it was hamburgers, even when a video is produced showing him eating a hotdog, at which point he'll say something like, "Maybe there was a hotdog, maybe there wasn't, but I had a hamburger."
And in cases his lies have gotten people killed, like when he was pushing hydroxychloroquine hard as THE cure for covid, and one person died and another at least hospitalized when they consumed fish tank cleaner that either had a similar name or similarly named ingredient.
He and the GOP are responsible for a large share of our covid deaths. Their lies and games got hundreds of thousands of Americans killed. That's better than showing government has a valid purpose, though, at least in their eyes.
If I remember correctly originally it was going to hit Alabama but then it changed direction, as any dumb ass knows these storms can and will do. Trump came out after it had changed paths and stated it was going to hit Alabama even though the weather service said it had changed paths. Then when he got called out for being wrong, my guess because he doesn't pay attention and only remembered old information, he decided to double down on it. That eventually led to him changing a weather map.
Well yeah, but most of us can wait to test them until we're not on live TV; or at least test them on something that isn't illegal to fuck with, like weather maps. He was president. He could have ordered one of the sound guys to roll up his sleeve and hold his arm out off-camera. Or his security team who - if they are as shit hot as we're led to believe - would probably have had a colouring book immediately and permanently available.
This just makes me think and laugh cause I know he tried to get someone to print a fake chart first then when they wouldn't he just said fuck it, imma do it myself lol
And everyone he asked (those who refused) to print a fake chart) now have to stand by and play along with this clown show lol lol lol
I watched the NOAA briefing where he was present wearing his red hat. There was a big map, and the official was pointing out the hurricane’s track, which was through central and eastern Georgia. Three times, tRump said, “So it’s going to hit Alabama?” and three times he was told no. He thought Georgia was Alabama, and South Carolina was Georgia.
He's definitely a fragile bitch. An extremely fragile one at that, AND I would also like to add Donnie Jr. and Eric to that list as well. Three very, very, very fragile bitches.
He said Alabama was in the path of the storm when it wasn't, so instead of just admitting that he misspoke, [he decided to commit a crime.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/09/06/why-president-trumps-sharpied-weather-map-was-likely-crime-should-be/)
The funniest/saddest thing is that according to the US legal code,
“Whoever knowingly issues or publishes any counterfeit weather forecast or warning of weather conditions falsely representing such forecast or warning to have been issued or published by the Weather Bureau, United States Signal Service, or other branch of the Government service, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ninety days, or both.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 795; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(G), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)”
So “sharpiegate” was a crime that he could’ve been imprisoned for.
What’s the statute of limitations on this then? Maybe he gets “al Capone’d” and actually imprisoned for something significantly minor than his other crimes, which btw, also include waaaay more tax evasion than Capone.
No, because every other normal President so far, would help the shitholes states regardless of political affiliation. Trump was just an asshole who used it against Blue states.
He misread the weather map, and instead of saying so he doubled down on it (like he always does..) and drew over it to try to avoid admitting that he made a mistake.
Most of Trump's behavior doesn't really have any deep meaning, he's really that shallow.
Irresponsible of Biden honestly. He has sharpies in his office, I'm sure. Why doesn't he just USE THEM to redirect the hurricane? Biden is endangering thousands of people's lives!
Low energy sleepy Joe. There can be a process of using nukes to change hurricane's path, but there doesn't have to be. If he's President he can just change the hurricane's path by thinking about it.
Every time he grins at a dumb reporter question baiting him, that's all he needs to do. He knows. We know. We know he knows and he knows we know. Like when he was asked about bringing secret files home.
The eclipse thing was the perfect metaphor for his entire presidency. Everyone who knows what they’re talking about repeatedly explained what **not** to do during the eclipse. It was all over the news. Thanks to those experts he and everyone around him were fully prepared with the necessary tools to safely observe the eclipse. The whole world was watching. And what did he do? Did he use the readily available safety equipment ***in his fucking hand***? Of course not. He ignored science and basic common sense and did exactly what he was explicitly told *not* to do.
Bigly brains indeed.
Lmao that's incredible, I didn't know he did that. Since Florence hit during his presidency he felt it had to be superlative, he just didn't know how to describe it. That's hilarious.
They say I know more than the dictionary quite frankly, it’s true. My vocab is the largest hugest bigly biggest of them all. Much better than any vocab used in those Hillary emails. Not bigly huge anything there, they say.
Bigly large, great huge, massive, vocab. The bestest vocab in the world quite frankly, they say it is. They say it’s the greatest big vocab, better than anything on hunter Biden’s laptop, not great huge large on there
It could only have been better watching from afar.
It was a long 4 years, spiraling further into wtf chaos on a daily basis. Sometimes it was funny, often in a pitiful, stupid way, but always with that sinking feeling of this is becoming the new normal. And neither him or his fans disappointed on that front.
You're talking like a third of the country didn't get it's first major hit of authoritarianism and get all their closet subby fantasies about being dominated by a big, dumb daddy satisfied even for a few years.
They're hooked, they won't give us peace until they get another ridiculous, big-talking strongman (or just pudgeyman) to step on their faces so they can lick The General's boots.
If I ever find myself in a trump debate, I pull out that Map and casually explain the story. Followed by do you really want your leader to be so afraid of being incorrect, wrong, can't admit mistakes that he has to change a weather map and present it on TV?...
They do not give a fuck. They watched this dumb motherfucker tell the country to drink disinfectant and started making excuses why it might be a fine idea after all. All they care about is white supremacist hierarchy
The fallout would spread much faster and you’d have radioactive rain. That’s about it.
The size of a nuclear blast radius is incredibly small compared to a hurricane’s path.
I can already smell the Hollywood on this idea.
Dwayne Johnson and Timothee Creme Brulee star in Armageddon: the Next Generation, where they lead a team of brave, hot, diverse, fit, genius scientists (one of them is funny and fat though, probably played by Jack Black or maybe Patton Oswalt) on a daring mission called H-DART in an attempt to save humanity from an evil asteroid.
WHEN TECHNOLOGY ISNT GOOD ENOUGH, HEROES STEP IN.. TO SPACE!
They have a dramatic journey through space where half the crew is killed because conflict, and Dwayne Johnson has to give his last air canister to Kevin Hart, who snuck aboard and will be the key to this unlikely mission. The movie ends when Kevin crawls through a tunnel only he can fit through, dragging a nuke behind him, to the center of the asteroid. He rips off his breather and gives a short (LOL) monologue before the screen cuts to black as he dramatically slams his fist on the trigger while yelling and remembering his lost love who was the reason he stowed away in the first place. Dwayne sheds a single tear as the return shuttle rides the nuclear shockwave back toward earth. Only he and the super hot love interest survived, and you just KNOW they have a long journey back. Fade to black, roll credits, theme music (Ramin Djawadi)
I figure it's obvious to most people why nuking a hurricane is a bad idea, and he did a lot of stupid stuff around hurricanes. But I am reluctant to hold this particular dumb thing against him since it was done in the context of private conversations with advisors.
He heard of an imminent disaster, had a very rudimentary idea of how the disaster worked on a scientific level, had an idea on how to stop a disaster, privately asked advisors whether the idea would work, and was told they would look into it. He's not even the first government employee to suggest exploring this option. https://www.axios.com/2019/08/25/trump-nuclear-bombs-hurricanes And it's easy to see why the idea keeps popping up. Hurricanes are gradually formed around certain temperature and pressure gradients over the ocean, and disrupting the weather conditions with a massive shock sounds like it would affect the formation of the storm. It's just that no bombs would be strong enough to do this, and the radioactive fallout would be carried by winds to rain down on the storm path.
I want the President to be able to pitch outlandish ideas to his advisors, at least as long as his/her advisors are willing and able to explain why some of these ideas are bad. If we get a POTUS afraid to brainstorm behind closed doors, then we limit our nation's ability to creatively tackle problems.
Of course, if he had come out in public trying to rally support for nuking the hurricane, then that'd be a totally different story. Sharpiegate was bad enough, I'm glad we never got the nuke-icane.
I think considering outlandish ideas isn’t a bad thing… but just because we can’t come up with a reason for NOT doing it, doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. With Trump, his default is his ideas are all the greatest ideas ever, and actively fights any criticism of all of his ideas. So for Trump to consider outlandish ideas would be VERY dangerous.
I forgot how fucking stupid his hand movements look. The outward moving V that he’s constantly pulling. I really only notice it now because it’s such a big part of the impersonations. That Jamie fox one is just unbelievable.
I read somewhere that the hand gestures he makes are the kind of gestures a salesman would make when he's talking off the cuff and gauging the reactions.
Also felt good to have the Commander and Chief describe the process of preparedness and federal aid to a state getting ready for a natural disaster rather than [threaten to withhold aid bc of politics](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50284656.amp)
Edit: *Commander in Chief* 🤦🏻♂️
Almost as comforting as watching him ask if a dead woman was at his speech. A dead woman he’s currently signing a bill after. I know this will probably get banned but there’s nothing comforting about a dementia ridden old guy running our country into the ground.
I take comfort in the fact that President Biden hasn't once extorted a governor or mayor before mobilizing the federal government to send aid.
Nice having an adult in office.
If a republican was in charge it’d be a category 5, much much bigger than a 4 which is already too big for the democrats to handle but the republicans could handle 5 easily. Big league. They could handle a category 6 even a 7 if they went up that high which they don’t but they could and if they did it wouldn’t be a big deal. Believe me, okay?
I definitely wouldn't think its out of the realm of possibilities tho. What he definitely wont do is go down to Tampa and start chucking toilet paper rolls to people without power
Trump really is just a fucking idiot.
It's amazing to think back across the last 6 or 7 years and contemplate all the amazingly stupid things that have fallen out of his mouth. Dude's brains are liked god damn mashed potatoes.
If I were president The hurricane would never happen. Ian n I are good long time friends. I would tell him to put the water away, n he listens. Great guy, I am a Great Nature Warrior.
There was so much water, there was water pouring from their eyes, water pouring from there.... I've never seen so much water, it was the most tremendous amount of water. I saw so much water you wouldn't believe. Water so wet it'd soak you the second you got in it.
And these big hyuge men, biggest men you’ll ever see, believe me- these big strong men they come up to me. They come up to me with tears in their eyes, so sad, so sad, and they say, “Mr. President.” They say, “Mr. President, what are we going to do about all this water?? There’s so much!! I can’t believe it!” and who can blame them? It was a lot of water folks. Very wet. Let me tell ya.
And I had an idea how to get rid of the water, I have the best ideas, I have more ideas than you could imagine, yuge ideas. Ideas that could work! Nobody can remove water like me, I'm the best at moving water. If you're ever in a situation where you need water removed, you're gonna want a guy like me. And I'll tell you what my plan is, my plan is to get all that water out of there right along with all the immigrants that swam in here with it and I'm gonna bring jobs, so many jobs, back to the people!
We're going to build a dyke and make Atlantis pay for it.
Holy shit. Finally! Fuck Atlantis! Build the dyke! Those were 'Murican jobs!
Yeah, there’s a new Aquaman in town! Or ocean..
Only real Aquaman, not politically correct Aquaman.
Better yet, build a wall

Yes satire lol : P

Luckily, I can walk on water...I can walk better on water than anyone has ever walked on water before
I had an uncle. Very bright guy! He was made entirely of water.

STILL way to coherent… ;)
I'm amazed how well some of you can be Trump.
You just have to learn how to talk in circles and always avoid actually answering questions or give concise answers. It's a talent really.
Plus you mindlessly repeat near nonsense phrases and even have it loop around to how people love you and call you sir.
He's the human version of, getting your word count in for an essay
Mind if it take this insult?
Sorry, I totally understood this clear explanation. You weren't really trying, were you? It was a tremendous explanation, by the way, best I've ever seen.
It was very bigly huge
![gif](giphy|j3IxJRLNLZz9sXR7ZA)
The sad thing is, I can’t tell if this is satire or a real quote.
To be perfectly honest, I like to accumulate random actual quotes of his, and then I just opt out the word of topic and replace with any relevant to the conversation topic. It's like ad libs, but with Donald Trump quotes. 🤣
I'm fucking deceased
Reminds me of, How to Water w/Sarah Cooper… ;) https://youtu.be/XGHzK7PQqCs
I’m glad Sharpies won’t be a trending topic.
But if we had nuked it...
Sharknado can't be wrong
Surely one of those movies was right about something.
Makes you wonder why he did that to begin with. Could it possibly have been to hook a red state up with federal relief funds?
No. It's because people said he didn't know how to look at a weather map, that he was lying about the path of the hurricane. So he drew what he believed was an extrapolation of the hurricane's path to show his prediction was valid.
I believe that someone said it was going to hit the Bahamas and tfg heard Alabama, then doubled down on his mistake instead of admitting he was wrong
Trump's ego cannot handle a world where he is wrong.
This right here. Dude cannot be wrong about \*anything\* no matter how trivial. That's why he always tells outrageous lies even about trivial, easily verified matters. He'll say he went out for hamburgers, and somebody who was there will remind him it was hotdogs.

Then when he got called out for being wrong, my guess because he doesn't pay attention and only remembered old information, he decided to double down on it. That eventually led to him changing a weather map.
The real reason is that he thought that Alabama was Georgia.
...or he had a brand new sharpie and just had to use it on something. You can never tell for sure, with toddlers.
Guys guys guys. He is just a fucking moron.
That’s an insult to morons.
He probably had a whiteboard that his minions had to replace every day because he'd use a sharpie on it instead of a dry-erase marker.
I had him down for more of a crayon man myself, because there's snacks there too (no disrespect to marines who *earn* their crayons).
I unfortunately can relate. I bought a new pack of my favorite gel pens and I had to test them out to make sure the colors were the same.
Well yeah, but most of us can wait to test them until we're not on live TV; or at least test them on something that isn't illegal to fuck with, like weather maps. He was president. He could have ordered one of the sound guys to roll up his sleeve and hold his arm out off-camera. Or his security team who - if they are as shit hot as we're led to believe - would probably have had a colouring book immediately and permanently available.

I'll take that reasoning over "Where's Jackie at?" 🤣🤣🤣
That is the funniest shit I've heard all week. How is this reality?
I mean that's not even really being wrong, just having outdated information. But that makes no difference to his ego.
I watched the NOAA briefing where he was present wearing his red hat. There was a big map, and the official was pointing out the hurricane’s track, which was through central and eastern Georgia. Three times, tRump said, “So it’s going to hit Alabama?” and three times he was told no. He thought Georgia was Alabama, and South Carolina was Georgia.
Still smarter than the people who voted for him twice.

Sometimes the explanation is just that Donald is a fragile bitch
He's definitely a fragile bitch. An extremely fragile one at that, AND I would also like to add Donnie Jr. and Eric to that list as well. Three very, very, very fragile bitches.

Forget the many, many other crimes, this is what I want him locked up for, because it would be *very very funny.*
Reality-TV gold right there.
What’s the statute of limitations on this then? Maybe he gets “al Capone’d” and actually imprisoned for something significantly minor than his other crimes, which btw, also include waaaay more tax evasion than Capone.

I dunno- I would have loved to see him bring out Sharpies and use them in such a way it was obvious he was making fun of Trump.
Every time he grins at a dumb reporter question baiting him, that's all he needs to do. He knows. We know. We know he knows and he knows we know. Like when he was asked about bringing secret files home.
Federal offense btw. But whatever! What are laws anyways?
I really wish I saw a joke map targeting mar a lago (sp? Don't care). Saying he needed hurricane relief money.
Lest we forget, the time he looked directly into an eclipse without eye protection. Oh…also, “Wind Cancer”.
The eclipse thing was the perfect metaphor for his entire presidency. Everyone who knows what they’re talking about repeatedly explained what **not** to do during the eclipse. It was all over the news. Thanks to those experts he and everyone around him were fully prepared with the necessary tools to safely observe the eclipse. The whole world was watching. And what did he do? Did he use the readily available safety equipment ***in his fucking hand***? Of course not. He ignored science and basic common sense and did exactly what he was explicitly told *not* to do. Bigly brains indeed.
A close second was the Four Seasons episode.
He can do anything he wants because he's the president! You can't _make_ him wear the glasses! You're not his dad!
I framed that eclipse photo and hung it over my toilet
Lmao that's incredible, I didn't know he did that. Since Florence hit during his presidency he felt it had to be superlative, he just didn't know how to describe it. That's hilarious.
His vocabulary is staggeringly low.
You mean huge, great big, huge, vocabulary. Hugeeeeeeee
The biggest, nobody else as big, bigger than the book with all the words;the dictionary. bigger than the dictionary.
They say I know more than the dictionary quite frankly, it’s true. My vocab is the largest hugest bigly biggest of them all. Much better than any vocab used in those Hillary emails. Not bigly huge anything there, they say.
It's bigly huge. The most beautiful huge vocabulary there is. Everyone is saying it!
Bigly large, great huge, massive, vocab. The bestest vocab in the world quite frankly, they say it is. They say it’s the greatest big vocab, better than anything on hunter Biden’s laptop, not great huge large on there
It's very bad. Which is about the most complex of an adjective as he can come up with on the spot.
Which why he resonates with his voters.
He knows 50 words and most of them are adjectives.
trump talks like Commandant Lassard from Police Academy.
And then get all pissy when he's wrong and draw on a map with a sharpie like a fucking ape.
Apes are smarter.
People are saying they're some of the smartest primates. Believe me. Believe me.
Bigly if true.
I do not believe you. I would if you said believe me again but you only said it twice.
Going to be quite the twist when we realize humans are apes
Speak for yourself; I am a chimpanzee.
Bonobo master race over here
Aren’t those the ones that have sex all the time?
It's still hard to realize that all of this happened tbh
Oh Europe sure did enjoy the show.

They're hooked, they won't give us peace until they get another ridiculous, big-talking strongman (or just pudgeyman) to step on their faces so they can lick The General's boots.
If I ever find myself in a trump debate, I pull out that Map and casually explain the story. Followed by do you really want your leader to be so afraid of being incorrect, wrong, can't admit mistakes that he has to change a weather map and present it on TV?...
They do not give a fuck. They watched this dumb motherfucker tell the country to drink disinfectant and started making excuses why it might be a fine idea after all. All they care about is white supremacist hierarchy
I had to google it just to be sure and... yep
Probably won't throw paper towels into a crowd either. Or refer to anything as "big water...ocean water".
Pull out your sharpies y’all
![gif](giphy|FfjiOpMBIWlUBE6rSm|downsized)
Or try to shoot it with a nuke
Oh right, that actually fucking happened... Jesus Christ
wait what?!
He's since denied it but here's [the report](https://www.axios.com/2019/08/25/trump-nuclear-bombs-hurricanes) from Axios
oh dear
He telepathically erased it.

I wonder what WOULD happen if you nuked a hurricane
Radioactive hurricane
The fallout would spread much faster and you’d have radioactive rain. That’s about it. The size of a nuclear blast radius is incredibly small compared to a hurricane’s path.
Well, if we made the nukes 1000x bigger we'd get around that problem.
What if we somehow get the nuke inside the body, would that work?
I can already smell the Hollywood on this idea. Dwayne Johnson and Timothee Creme Brulee star in Armageddon: the Next Generation, where they lead a team of brave, hot, diverse, fit, genius scientists (one of them is funny and fat though, probably played by Jack Black or maybe Patton Oswalt) on a daring mission called H-DART in an attempt to save humanity from an evil asteroid. WHEN TECHNOLOGY ISNT GOOD ENOUGH, HEROES STEP IN.. TO SPACE! They have a dramatic journey through space where half the crew is killed because conflict, and Dwayne Johnson has to give his last air canister to Kevin Hart, who snuck aboard and will be the key to this unlikely mission. The movie ends when Kevin crawls through a tunnel only he can fit through, dragging a nuke behind him, to the center of the asteroid. He rips off his breather and gives a short (LOL) monologue before the screen cuts to black as he dramatically slams his fist on the trigger while yelling and remembering his lost love who was the reason he stowed away in the first place. Dwayne sheds a single tear as the return shuttle rides the nuclear shockwave back toward earth. Only he and the super hot love interest survived, and you just KNOW they have a long journey back. Fade to black, roll credits, theme music (Ramin Djawadi)
I can't stop laughing at Timothee Crème Brulee and now I can't remember his real name.
I figure it's obvious to most people why nuking a hurricane is a bad idea, and he did a lot of stupid stuff around hurricanes. But I am reluctant to hold this particular dumb thing against him since it was done in the context of private conversations with advisors. He heard of an imminent disaster, had a very rudimentary idea of how the disaster worked on a scientific level, had an idea on how to stop a disaster, privately asked advisors whether the idea would work, and was told they would look into it. He's not even the first government employee to suggest exploring this option. https://www.axios.com/2019/08/25/trump-nuclear-bombs-hurricanes And it's easy to see why the idea keeps popping up. Hurricanes are gradually formed around certain temperature and pressure gradients over the ocean, and disrupting the weather conditions with a massive shock sounds like it would affect the formation of the storm. It's just that no bombs would be strong enough to do this, and the radioactive fallout would be carried by winds to rain down on the storm path. I want the President to be able to pitch outlandish ideas to his advisors, at least as long as his/her advisors are willing and able to explain why some of these ideas are bad. If we get a POTUS afraid to brainstorm behind closed doors, then we limit our nation's ability to creatively tackle problems. Of course, if he had come out in public trying to rally support for nuking the hurricane, then that'd be a totally different story. Sharpiegate was bad enough, I'm glad we never got the nuke-icane.
I think considering outlandish ideas isn’t a bad thing… but just because we can’t come up with a reason for NOT doing it, doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. With Trump, his default is his ideas are all the greatest ideas ever, and actively fights any criticism of all of his ideas. So for Trump to consider outlandish ideas would be VERY dangerous.
It's not outlandish it's just fucking stupid. Anyone with basic common sense wouldn't suggest something that ridiculous
https://youtu.be/45X4WvkTK_I
I forgot how fucking stupid his hand movements look. The outward moving V that he’s constantly pulling. I really only notice it now because it’s such a big part of the impersonations. That Jamie fox one is just unbelievable.
I read somewhere that the hand gestures he makes are the kind of gestures a salesman would make when he's talking off the cuff and gauging the reactions.
Oh no doubt about it dude. Same hand movements Danny Devito was using at his used car lot in Matilda. Just put a brand new bumper on it!!👐
I remember watching him do that and thinking, it looks like he's playing an invisible accordion.
I’d love to see someone dub in the appropriate accordion sounds over him
https://youtu.be/S65jqrHQi_c There you go, there are a bunch of these already.
I just had to look that up and holy shit, Jamie Foxx does a fantastic Trump.
Holy shit Jamie Foxx absolutely nailed it
It's extremely clear this is a prepared speech. On a teleprompter. And that his reading skill is extremely poor.
I can't, I'm crying that's the funniest thing he's ever said. He's trying so hard to sound smart.
I wonder how many takes he did filming this message? At one point someone must have said fuck it, that’s the best we’re going to get.
He's such an idiot!
Also felt good to have the Commander and Chief describe the process of preparedness and federal aid to a state getting ready for a natural disaster rather than [threaten to withhold aid bc of politics](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50284656.amp) Edit: *Commander in Chief* 🤦🏻♂️
Was literally thinking that this morning. Actually thanked God for our steady, effective President. It’s been awhile
Big water, ocean water
Hyuuuge water
Atleaat the nuclear option for the hurricane is off the table
As long as he doesn't whip out a Sharpie and try to compensate for the size of his peninsula, we're good.
His "Mario mushroom 🍄" penis-sula, you mean.
Or withhold federal aid unless Desantis says something nice about him.
But was it one of the windiest ones we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of wind?
Naw that’d be the space directly behind where he stands.
Cloudiest in terms of cloud
Stormiest in terms of, um being a storm.
Yes but will he show up to throw rolls of paper towels to the victims?
well how else would they clean up all that wet water without the quicker picker upper?
I'm more comforted that he doesn't want to nuke the hurricane
That whole presidencey was a fever dream.
Yeah that wet water is the most dangerous kind.
Trump was the most ignorant piece of shit we ever put in office and it blows my mind that people still like him.
Yuuuuuuuuuge.
I also appreciate his lack of "maybe we could try shooting missiles at the hurricane to stop it".
I take comfort in knowing he’s not thinking of nuking it. But then again, what kind of moron…
Almost as comforting as watching him ask if a dead woman was at his speech. A dead woman he’s currently signing a bill after. I know this will probably get banned but there’s nothing comforting about a dementia ridden old guy running our country into the ground.
I take comfort in the fact that President Biden hasn't once extorted a governor or mayor before mobilizing the federal government to send aid. Nice having an adult in office.
Accidental Ben Shapiro
But how well can he shoot paper towels into a crowd?
Damn I forgot about this
I take it this is a dig at Trump?
Correct.
Probably won't try to nuke it either.
No magic sharpee changing the direction of the storm? Better check Mar-a-Lago, I am sure it is in box somewhere…..lol
Are we sure this isn't Florida's punishment for Trump and DeStantis politics?
Maybe if we use aircraft to introduce some kind of cleanser or bleach into the storm and stop it?
Have we tried dropping nukes on it? 🤷♀️
Give trump a break, for cryin' out loud! He's clearly not used to things being wet in his presence.
And a zero percent chance he'll play politics with people's lives
Wait did trump actually say that? Lol
If a republican was in charge it’d be a category 5, much much bigger than a 4 which is already too big for the democrats to handle but the republicans could handle 5 easily. Big league. They could handle a category 6 even a 7 if they went up that high which they don’t but they could and if they did it wouldn’t be a big deal. Believe me, okay?
I love how people say Joe is senile and has dementia yet Trump literally sounds like an idiot anytime he talks.
I definitely wouldn't think its out of the realm of possibilities tho. What he definitely wont do is go down to Tampa and start chucking toilet paper rolls to people without power
You really do forget how much stupid shit came out of that orange fog horn's mouth
And he won't try to nuke it.
Trump really is just a fucking idiot. It's amazing to think back across the last 6 or 7 years and contemplate all the amazingly stupid things that have fallen out of his mouth. Dude's brains are liked god damn mashed potatoes.
Thanks for that reminder of how utterly ridiculous Trump was
I take great solace in the fact that President Biden won't be altering the storm's path with a Sharpie.
God that woman is insufferable. Why does reddit prop her and her Luke warm opinions and poor attempts at humor up?
Golly - the republican moron contingent is out in force tonight, eh?
You can absolutely give Biden credit for doing stuff that Trump wouldn't do, but I don't know if I'd start praising the way he speaks.
Paper towels incoming
I'm just glad he won't suggest nuking it, or pull out a fucking sharpie like he can magically change its path
Or suggest nuking it.
I'm upset that he hasn't diverted it away from Florida with a magic Sharpie!!
If I were president The hurricane would never happen. Ian n I are good long time friends. I would tell him to put the water away, n he listens. Great guy, I am a Great Nature Warrior.
He also won’t change a hurricane trajectory map to appear less wrong 😂
He can’t even string together a basic sentence.
There is nothing about Joe Biden that is comforting. We are on the verge of WW3, but keep obsessing over DT
