Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

Twelve-D chess, man

🐦[Poking through the even more extreme websites, the story is that Trump wanted to get indicted SO THAT he could reveal he’s been president this whole time and indict Biden.

How sad your life must be if you contemplate murder for Donald Fucking Trump.

I guess we’ll see?

I just don’t know what else to say at this point.

these qanon types still telling themselves stories are really something

these people know their correspondence can easily be tracked, right

like half these dorks said this shit before inauguration and a bunch of them got hauled in lol

Yeah I read it as mostly just msg board talk tbh. We'll find out.

It won’t surprise me if “the resistance” is like five random dudes.

These people are thick and deluded but (and maybe this is silly to think) after 1/6 the vibe among law enforcement is probably “fuck around and find out” on the streets, not just months later in court.

one thing is that the jan 6 prosecutions have really spooked them, now whenever you see a call for violence theres people immediately accusing the person of being a fed, which doesnt mean no ones going to try anything just that the public rabble rousing organizing that led to jan 6 is in a tough spot

I’ve been thinking that the vigorous prosecution of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers is also having the positive effect of ramping down on organized political violence that could be causing mayhem no and in the run up to the elections.

Or what you said lagoon.

our democracy is still limping along yay lol

Not dead yet

But it's gettin' there

i wonder how many different hats are in don’s rotation

In case you get eye strain and just wanted to listen to the indictment read

Trump as hidden mahdi

This is one of the weirder things about q anon. It’s less a conspiracy then like a theory of prophecies and revelations.

so like the Old Testament then

Exactly. They compare Trump to the Biblical King Cyrus.

Holy grift

Trump-Cyrus “prayer coins” – the king is in the background, a brooding profile of Trump is in the foreground – for $45 a coin.

need that prayer coin baby

🚨Yes, I played golf with President Trump this week.

We need Donald Trump back in the White House because this country cannot afford another 4 years of Joe Biden! pic.twitter.com/VG5p9KJdRp

Yes, in these challenging times, we need a guy who plays a lot of golf back in the White House.

that new yorker piece is a clear summary, ty for link xp

In these challenging times, why isn’t the White House a really dope-ass golf club?

make america golf again

Putter emails

hey remember how spies from foreign countries kept getting arrested at Mar-a-Lago and it just ended up being one of those weird stories nobody could make heads or tails of

weird coincidence

apologies if this has been addressed in thread, but is there a reason he wanted to keep these boxes so badly? was there some benefit or was it just a bilbo baggins "why shouldn't i keep it?" situation?

Forget it, ums, it's Trumptown.

idk it's still kind of a mystery, given his strange deferential relationship with Putin and Kim Jong Un plus the very shady looking deals Kushner got it wouldn't surprise me if he's just straight up selling government secrets. but also Trump is the one guy who might just take this stuff because he thought it was cool, or maybe out of bitterness, I know for most people it wouldn't matter but in this case I think it will

afaict he did indeed go full Gollum.

“It's not theirs; it's mine,” several advisers say Mr. Trump told them.

Occam's razor in full effect. Why did Trump take them? Because he is a selfish, shortsighted, self-obsessed moron.

what's really funny is Trump was reported as frustrating all the records people when he was in office, because any time he's finished with anything, it was reported he'd habitually crumple up whatever it was he was reading and throw it in the trash. so someone's job was to fish things out and uncrumple them because there are rules about presidential record retention

presumably he needed as many documents as possible because he's wrecking them after waving them around and bragging

The example in the indictment was Trump using the documents to prove that deep state people (i.e. Gen. Milley) were lying about him in the press.

If he has something he thinks he can use against his enemies, he's going to try to hang onto it

That’s so crazy! If only there were a reason we could discern from subsequent events

its pretty funny how much he liked the secret docs considering hes not really a details guy, doesnt seem like he really wanted to do anything with them maybe just memorabilia to him

waving them around to impress people, its very silly, everyone knows you were president you dont really need props

tho tbf i could see how they would help sell the bit

He's probably a bit like that dictator in the Carolyn Forche poem who shows off the ears of enemies to his visitors.

otm, it's not any deeper than it helps feed his massive narcissism as a totem that he was the most important person on the planet for four years.

this is just a divide that is bigger than the biggest divide you can think of. so divide. way divide. how? why?

"Eighty percent of likely Republican primary voters in a new poll think former President Trump should still be able to get back to the Oval Office even if he’s convicted in the classified documents case."

trading ramen noodles for diet cokes. signing bills. working on his swing. writing his prison manifesto. inviting the NCAA championship team to his cell for non-alcoholic toilet wine...

They said, sir, you have this wonderful system for doing the garlic. I used a razor, and I used to slice it so thin that it used to liquefy in the pan with just a little oil. It was a very good system.

based on those transcripts & his general personality, i think he literally just wanted to use them to flex
