Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

OTM. The cult has no idea how despised its leader is outside the cult.

we're hypothesizing about an utterly batshit scenario in which there was suddenly a re-do election because the FBI didn't arrest Hunter Biden, but the crazy part is thinking if such a scenario came to pass there's no way Trump could win, am I getting this right?

No, I was thinking of 2024, not a hypothetical "redo" of 2020.

let's worry about 2024 after we win the 2020 re-do, ok?

every time Trumpism is on the ballot the other side turns out in big numbers as well

This is what I'm saying. A) Trump's base has shrunk since 2020; B) the number of people who hate Trump, and by extension hate the Republican party, and will absolutely vote against them, has grown substantially, especially since Roe v. Wade was overturned. I mean, 70% of new voter registrations in Pennsylvania are women. Do you think they're planning on voting Republican? I don't.

xxp

The part that I find really breathtaking is that he genuinely believes that if there was a new election held today, he would win.

I think there's a greater than outside chance he would.

were you?

but yeah, if we are talking about 2024, then absolutely Trump could win

i think trump would probably lose in an election but i also dont really want to see it play out

the chance that republicans could steal said election is way past uncomfortably high

xxp yeah, I don't think we are going to re-do the 2020 election under any circumstances. But I will not dismiss the possibility of Trump winning until he is dead and buried.

That process looks something like this:
1. Trump dies
2. Trump is buried
3. Hunter Biden’s laptop
4. Trump is exhumed
5. Trump wins presidency

LOL

(low-hanging fruit alert)

Didn't come state/county/region elect a dead guy to some office not terribly long ago?

He should be turned into a pillar of shit] salt.

Truth Social may be circling the drain anyway:

...unnamed sources say Truth Social has made only three of its contractual monthly payments to RightForge — the company that Truth Social pays to keep the platform online — since the two began working together in October of last year, and has not made any new payments since March. The company is threatening to take legal action to recoup the money, the report says... it may not be long before Truth Social ends up in the graveyard of failed social media sites.

Wow, a Trump company stiffing one of its vendors?

Its a bit lengthy, but "Trump has possibly offended the Lord in some big way" for September thread title

Don't blame the voters. If he's the only racist on the ballot then who else can they vote for?

Um, not to be Captain Obvious here, but Joe Biden is absolutely a total fucking racist, and please spare me the "but Obama and Kamala" shit.

But obama and kamala

C'mon, man. They are very articulate.

what do you think the title of this thread should reference?

this thread title is fine. I was replying to a post suggesting a new "September thread title", which clearly referred to the US politics thread, which renews monthly. maybe you could have figured that out yourself, if you tried, instead of prematurely leaping at the chance to zing me.

I think Donald Trump is just bored. Someone should get him a fidget spinner.

Someone should introduce him to Netflix.

Heck, someone should teach him about podcasting then lock him in a bathroom and tell him to just start talking.

I want him to livetweet watching The Rehearsal

He should record commentary tracks. To anything, really.

The Rehearsal is... fake. It's fake, okay? And people have been saying, "Oh sir, it's not real." And it's a terrible thing. And we're going to do something about that, aren't we?

Man if only his career trajectory had gone in this direction instead

"And ... look, the name of the tournament is called Kumite, but the name of the arena ... well, if it was up to me, in my opinion it should have been Trump Arena, we offered them a very good deal to call it Trump, but they didn't want Trump, which was a mistake, in my opinion, the tournament would have been a lot more successful, a lot less underground. Frankly, many, many more people would have heard of it. Instead, people are saying it was a failure, the Kumite tournament. Should have been Pay-per-view, they begged me to reconsider. But that's OK, it was their choice to turn down all that money. It's a freestyle fight, kumite, menaing almost anything goes. Well, a lot of people don't know this, but the word 'kumite' has its roots in Japanese, where it, where it translates roughly to mean 'grappling hands.' And frankly there is a lot of grappling in this movie, maybe too much grappling. But "kumite" ... Jean Claude Van Damme is a man of honor, so yes, he is literally grappling with his enemies, but he is also grappling metaphorically, to choose to do the right thing, to win - and this is important - to win with honor. The Kumite becomes not about the death touch, not about love - though the woman, the woman is very beautiful, the most beautiful - it is about grappling with the morality of vengeance and emerging victorious not by beating his enemy Chong Li - a cheater - but by finally turning himself in to Helmer and Rawlins and restoring his honor."

"By 2019, tensions between the two men and their worldviews burst into the open. After disputes between the two leaders over Iran, Syria, and NATO, Trump could be heard blasting Macron as a “pain in the ass” to a White House gathering of international ambassadors to the United Nations. Trump’s former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham also wrote in a memoir that Trump had privately called Macron a “a wuss guy” and “a hundred twenty pounds of fury.”"

"a wuss guy" said the hair-sprayed makeup wearer who's never carried anything heavier than a five iron in forty years

i noticed that too— lol like Macron could totally take you, Donnie. he’d use your sweat to glide away to victory

https://uproxx.com/viral/trump-truth-social-why-are-people-so-mean/

Kind of impressive his total lack of self-awareness or capacity for reflection.

Holy fuck

I mean I would be a nightmare of a person just like him, but it must be...something...to go through life like that. Liberating in a way.

He called Ted Cruz’s wife “ugly” and accused his dad of assassinating JFK.

And now said Cruz moistly grovels at trump's feet, hoping for a pat on the head

no Zodiac accusation, no credibility

Now that is a fucking thread title

haha

lmao
