Actually unhinged. Never forget that Americans got a taste of this and voted for it again.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They legally cheated with gerrymandering and throw in a little of illegal by his minions as well. They cheated in 2020 too, it just wasn't good enough.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Gerrymandering only explains how he can win the Electoral College. It doesn't explain 77.3 million Americans going "yeah, I'll vote for that."

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did you notice that every accusation is a confession? I would look at the voting machines his minions (musk, election officials, etc.) had power over.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly, while it would not surprise me in the slightest to find out there was actual voter fraud, it would surprise me much, much less that Americans legitimately voted for him.

Careful, that kind of talk will get you deported.

If I wasn't a fourth-generation U.S. citizen of very light complexion, I'd be more worried. As it is, I wish some European country wanted me!

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 8 points 1 month ago

more people voted for Trump than live in the UK.

just Trump voters alone would make them the 4th most populous country in Europe. it's fucking INSANE.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Gerrymandering only affects the House. For the Senate and the Electoral College, the district boundaries are fixed as the state boundaries. (I’m not saying that low population states don’t have a disproportionate influence in either body, I’m just saying the boundaries are fixed.)

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Partially because he was deplatformed. People weren't constantly reminded of his craziness for four years.

[–] scintilla@piefed.zip 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Huh? He was making headlines weekly during bidens term?

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It wasn't quite that often and it wasn't a new thing every time. It was usually the same thing over and over. Some new advancement in the investigations.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 67 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Do you think he consciously asks himself "How do I make this about me?" or is it just a well-honed reflex?

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 55 points 1 month ago

Well-honed reflex.

Narcissists aren't very good at self-awareness.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

He doesn't need to ask at all. He's a narcissist.

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There's only one person on the planet currently suffering with Trump Derangement Syndrome...

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 12 points 1 month ago

i dunno. i tend to include 77 mil. Americans in that category as well.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Crazy he can say all these things but the moment you say, "Charlie Kirk said some hateful things", Gestapo starts swooping in.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

You can talk about locking up, assaulting, or murdering people you don't like for exercising their right to free speech. But, the moment you quote a dead hatemonger you are going to lose everything!

[–] ryper@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

With Reiner's son being the main suspect, Trump could have just called him a lousy father if he really needed to speak ill of the dead. But no, he had to make it about himself somehow.

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago

Narcissists always make it about themselves. It’s kinda their thing.

You're out of your fucking element!

is this real or satire? i genuinely can't tell

[–] o_O@lemmy.today 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Found the source on truthsocial. It is actually real.. He actually posted this

[–] SparroHawc@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

What the fuck?

WHAT THE FUCK??

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not to misuse technical terms here but... What the flying fuckin' fuck???

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

The subtext is clear: if you dare speak out against me, your children will murder you. You see what happens Larry? You see what happens?

Fuck this lunatic presidunce.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The majority of Americans saw this guy and went

"Aww hell yeah brother"

[–] washbasin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)
[–] GorGor@startrek.website 8 points 1 month ago

And (reportedly) 19 million more who thought, 'whatever, I'm not voting'

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

A non-vote is still a vote.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

*Two thirds of voting eligible Americans

[–] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Every time I see one of these Trump posts, I'm like, "The only thing that could make this comment more unhinged was if his profile picture looked like he was run over squarely across the face by a Ford F-350 with American flag tire treads dripping wet with paint at the exact moment he completes a bowel movemen- oh wait, nope, they got it."

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

Wtf I preferred it when Trump was in control of his own social media accounts

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Fucking MASTERFUL trolling. It’s sad that we have a sitting president that the clowns on 4chan would envy.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

SUBJECTIVE: Patient presents with complaints of TDS and "stinky hand".

OBJECTIVE: Patient is morbidly obese, affect deranged, body odor unpleasant. Right hand is indeed "stinky" and necrotic. Full diaper.

ASSESSMENT: Fatty cankleoid with severe brain damage and rotting baby fist.

PLAN: No treatment provided.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

When Trump dies, they better hide where his remains are interred like Genghis Khan or risk turning it into the world's most popular toilet.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

What a fucking douchebag.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

His age is really showing, isn't it? He—once again—misspelled "gilded age" as "golden age"

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What?

"Golden Age" is a thing people say. The "Gilded Age" also was a period of American history, but President Tang wasn't making a reference to Mark Twain.

Of all the things to criticize the idiot over...

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I think this is a "woosh" on your part. OP seems to have been joking about how this is a gilded age--not a golden one.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

You are 100% correct.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Fair enough.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

What the Trump admin put the country into isn't a golden age, but instead something more akin to a repeat of the Gilded Age, with its rampant political corruption and extreme wealth disparity. The joke is that he meant to say "Gilded Age"—which is the more accurate comparison—but is so out of it that he instead said "Golden Age".

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Fair enough, I guess the "intentionality" threw me off.

I wouldn't expect Trump to know about the Gilded Age (much less to align his administration with its corruption). My brain stopped at "that's like a 10th grade school mistake, while Trump is usually stumbling around grade 4."
