    I can’t understand how stupid someone needs to be to listen to this drivel and think “Wow, this guy is a leader! Not just any leader either, the only leader for me!”.

      The crazy thing is that you don’t need to cherry pick quotes or take them out of context to make him look like an idiot.

      Listen to pretty much any interview or speech and he says something that is clearly idiotic, evil, or a blatant lie. Most likely all three… Repeatedly.

      I get that Fox News is a hell of a drug, but just hearing this dipshit speak should shatter the illusion. The unwavering support is mind boggling.

        Everything about him is like that. They claim he’s strong and full of vitality too. All you have to do is watch him walking, or drinking water, and you can clearly see that he’s a weakling.

        Its not him directly. Most of them have only seen him through multiple filters. They are worshipping their golden calf at this point.

        “And if I were to die now, they would say it was so my spirit could lead them.”
        -Paul Atreides

      At least the hardcore Christians seem to see him more as a vessel or tool. God’s tool doesn’t have to be perfect and in typical Bible reverse 4D backwards logic, being imperfect even shows how much of a chosen one he is. I forgot the name, but there’s actually a precedent in the Bible itself.

      So they acknowledge that he is the antithesis to anything they claim to believe in, but they also think that he somehow will bring God’s will or something.

        He fits every description of the antichrist given in the Bible. They’ve warned about the antichrist for 2000 years, and then when he finally shows up they worship him. It’s wack, yo!

    There’s something I don’t get about the world when someone like Trump isn’t a universal laughing stock.

        he is starting to sounds more and more like mashing the autocorrect prediction button. Which has always reminded me of how my great grandma spoke before she went non-verbal due to her dementia

    The dumb thing is, I can kinda understand what the speech writer wanted to say and autoprompted to him. But his fried mind couldn’t understand it and because he’s so vain he won’t wear glasses even though he needs them so he can’t even read the autoprompter half the time.

      God, I can’t make it through the whole thing. Listening to him blathering on and on causes me actual physical discomfort.

      I sincerely don’t get how anyone listens to his rambling tripe and is like, “This guy totally gets it!”

          During Trump and the Pandemic, all the behaviors and statements from everyone, exposing the sheer amount of stupidity around us, was a little you much for me tbh. I felt safer in this world, before knowing that stupid rules.

    How does a mind that has no thread at all still spew words?

    Edit: right, autoprompt, makes sense.

    If one doesn’t understand something, there has never been a time when there were more readily available resources to explain it. If you don’t have time or want to put the effort in to understand it, it is perfectly reasonable to just accept the consensus opinion of people who are experts in that subject. We all have to do that to some extent. The world is too complex to understand everything. Still, this is just incoherent. Not even wrong.
