Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

this is what they do.

In contemporary Russia, unlike the old USSR or present-day North Korea, the stage is constantly changing: the country is a dictatorship in the morning, a democracy at lunch, an oligarchy by suppertime, while, backstage, oil companies are expropriated, journalists killed, billions siphoned away. Surkov is at the centre of the show, sponsoring nationalist skinheads one moment, backing human rights groups the next. It's a strategy of power based on keeping any opposition there may be constantly confused, a ceaseless shape-shifting that is unstoppable because it's indefinable.

I'm just a few paragraphs into this and it's already hilarious

Hate the game, not the playa

they raise money to pay for robocalls so they can raise more money to pay for more robocalls

Is the big man gettin his beak wet in this scam? He’s usuallyso protective of his image!

I so wish there was video (got to be on surveilance) of the Trumps melting down realizing he lost. Someday (hopefully) that is going to be some funny shit on a movie or TV show.

Bugfuck thing I forgot about the previous administration #543: Trump autographing giant portraits of murder victims held up by their families at an anti-immigration presser in 2018.

As Biden delivers a speech at the White House today on crime, I was reminded of the time Trump did that and autographed photos of murder victims -- low key one of the most bizarre political moments of the last five years. https://t.co/0Sp9NK4SEH

Trump holds up an autographed photo of a murder victim, quips that the man is "Tom Selleck, except better looking." pic.twitter.com/8iOsdCT4xo

jfc that second clip. thank you so much for the compliment about my son looking like tom selleck only better

Definitely makes those homicide photos more appealing on Antiques Roadshow

lol

i would like to see them assess the value of those autographed photos. holy shit

In the great flood of raw sewage that was the Trump presidency it's his shining moments like this, or when he started rambling about New York cocktail parties to a Boy Scout Jamboree, that illustrate that he is completely unable to empathize with other human beings on any level whatsoever.

That lack of empathy can on the rare occasion produce gold however, such as when he asked the 7-year old kid if he still believed in Santa, "because at that age it's kind of marginal, right?"

he wasn't a regular guy

i continue to wonder if i made him up

this seems very illegal

Donald Trump to DOJ last December: "Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me" https://t.co/iMWh3QxhHa

When you're president they let you do it.

but somehow, they just can't find the evidence and prove that he was the most corrupt president in our lifetime, easily outranking nixon. it's just too hard to prove it, i guess. federal law, state law, local law, natural law, lord of the flies, martial law - none of them can contain his genius. he is just too tricky, too smart for anyone to bring down. trump is such a smart guy, he really is. great job law!!

only marshall law from tekken could take trump down, which is why trump won't even agree to fight him

I'm so sick of that fuckchop, I wish he would choke on a McRib and die die die

Whoops!

BREAKING:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Department tells Treasury to turn over Trump tax returns to Congress.

— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) July 30, 2021

Oh ho ho

Now we've got him. At long last. No slipping out this time, Mr. Trum—oh, goddamn it.

A little more

There's a new DOJ memo that says the Treasury Dept. can turn over Trump's tax returns to a House committee: https://t.co/6nMRxSGLNe

But, per ongoing litigation over this, Trump is supposed to get 72-hour notice before it actually happens (aka a window to try to stop it) pic.twitter.com/lLa64QQcLj

72 hours from now though, THEN he's caught!

"What, me crimes? No, it's the law that's wrong."

Wait I thought he was under audit, perpetually under audit

Why doesn't he just keep touring like this? It's clearly what he lovers: the roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowds. Just be a headliner, being a president is fucking boring and tedious... better just to wind 'em up, and then golf the next morning.

What else do you believe he is currently doing?

thats all he did in office though, but with the perk of getting to commit unlimited crime

plus, the presidency of the USA is the world's biggest stage, attracting the most attention of anyone on Earth.

But this is where the money's at... funding a super PAC with shadowy bookkeeping, in a cow pasture in Alabama

this Vic Berger video is deeply satisfying, it's long but the whole thing is worth a watch

yes but also a piece of my soul dies every time i watch a vice news video

I know michael wolff is sus or whatever, but “landslide” is a good trashy read. The second impeachment trial was truly odd—castor and schoen were extremely underqualified. At one point wolff says that schoen apologized to trump for something and admitted he was “a wimp, sir” and trump just flew off the handle. “My lawyer’s a wimp? A wimp?” Lmao.

“They should replace the wokesters with Patriots and start winning again. The woman with the purple hair played terribly and spends too much time thinking about Radical Left politics and not doing her job!”

'wokesters'! lol
I'm not sure I would go around attacking others' hair, but that's just me

start winning again

They got Bronze in the Olympics. There's only two spots more winning than that.

America will never be great again with that attitude.

Trump's missing out on a good grift by not forming a shadow government and selling Cabinet spots. Mike Lindell would pay big money to be the True Secretary of State.

The gov't in exile should ideally be located at Mar-a-Lagoo, and every administration member pays full price
