Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

Not trying to draw a false equivalence because these symbols are legitimately hurtful, but it is nice to see “our” side playing the cultural flashpoint game in an election year rather than just sitting around while the right works itself into a lather over Sesame Street

yeah going on the offense is a nice change

would be great if that continued in other areas

Why does he care about this? Did someone suggest naming a base after a woman or African American or something?

And the dudness continues.

There’s no way that Trump doesn’t know who won the Civil War, right?

get stooped, 2scoops

"It was a great war, a beautiful war. There were good people on both sides. The Republican Party won that war, President Lincoln. Not a lot of people know this, but Abraham Lincoln was a Republican"

xpost -- probably something like that

Really hope this is genuine

Wow, that was a wild few minutes where the actual President of the USA was following me on Twitter and even sent me a message. Shame it ended so badly 😭 pic.twitter.com/KejDKTleNu

"the democrat party were the REAL racists... but also, what the south was doing was good," xxp

lol he has the S.S. trending

btw I saw film of George Wallace saying "brave ppl on both sides" of the Civil War last night

Here's the transcript of Trump's remarks on how Abraham Lincoln "did good, although it's always questionable, you know, in other words, the end result..." pic.twitter.com/HhvlDqlYCU

How many dogs are going to lose their hearing from all this whistling?

I hear more and more people are calling him Honest Abe.

It's going to feel so goddamn good when he's no longer alive.

I’ve never danced on a grave before, but over the past 3.5 years I’ve really planned out some great choreography for when I get the chance.

What are the odds that he has soured on Lincoln a little because he blames him for the Lincoln Project ads?

"Lincoln is being recognized more and more, but I think, frankly, maybe he is being recognized a little too much."

"Not many people know this, but Abe Lincoln's hands were pretty small."

Internet is saying he was a disaster at the West Point graduation today. Couldn't pronounce MacArthur's, messed up Ulysses Grant, could barely walk down a ramp ...

Trump still hasn't totally figured out how to drink water pic.twitter.com/IO8CDXmD9i

Maybe he had a stroke?

Don’t know about the glass, but the ramp thing is clearly the effect of his 2-3 inch shoe lifts (see also: centaur pose)

Watch his left leg vs right. The left leg is the one inching forward, the right leg barely bends.

He also purses his lips in deep concentration, like a cartoon monkey.

it’s fine when he hits the ground, trump famously has neuroses re: stairs and ramps and inclines

What about the water?

he’s just an idiot

It took over a decade for stress to kick Hitler's Parkinson's into overdrive, Trump is much weaker just weaker all around not good.

the ramp thing is clearly the effect of his 2-3 inch shoe lifts

kind of steep ramp with no handrail. plus there's his famously poor eyesight that he's too vain to correct with glasses. sorry to disappoint, but there's no evidence of a stroke that I can see.

The water glass. He can't lift the water to his mouth with his right hand and actually uses his left hand to tip the glass.

feel like I've seen that before ages ago

Really this needs to be a whole set of separate polls because I like my crust crispy, base chewy, cheese gooey and tomato hot. Except when the pizza is of a more American style then the cheese should have some brown and a crispy bits.

And by the way, it was a beautiful pizza, just beautiful

Ed, please, what thread was that meant for, it seems more fun than this one

all of the threads are the same, this is the same thread, this is the infinite post

your every post is infinitely heavy, or infinitely light, depending

That was meant for one of the interminable pizza threaads rather than one of the interminable politics threads.

Understandable. Pizzas are generally circular; so is political discussion.

Both can be warmed-over; both can sometimes be cheesy. Neither should involve pineapple.

is this a trap?

what the fuck

The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery. The last thing I was going to do is “fall” for the Fake News to have fun with. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!

translation: fire whoever put the ramp in

it sucks because I legitimately think that tweet is funny but I really don't think it was intended to be

It's going to feel so goddamn good when he's no longer alive.

When he does can we come on to his RIP thread and troll you like Mordy did when Thatcher died?

Ive seen that glass-holding/drinking thing before. On my dad. Who has something akin to Parkinsons.

I know I've seen him do the same thing with a glass of water before a while ago, maybe during one of his rallies? I remember people commenting on it at the time

The time he did it before, he picked up the bottle with two hands, like an otter with a sippy cup. This was different, because he picked it up with one hand, but he needed the other hand to tip it back. I've never seen that in anybody before.

I’ve had to do that before when I was having a panic attack and my hands were shaking so hard I couldn’t handle the glass, but that’s pretty extreme
