Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

holy shit i never thought i would want to hear a trump impression again, that was brilliant

I assume a future president or whomever could pretty easily strip a former president of those benefits, esp. if they were compromising national security or putting people at risk. Like, Trump could conceivably trade state secrets in return for, say, permission to build a hotel in Moscow or something, which I know is nothing he'd even consider, we're just talking hypotheticals here.

goddamnit the malt thing is one of the very few times Trump is actually relatable.

finally, he's struck a new tone

Dr.Tony Fauci says we don’t allow him to do television, and yet I saw him last night on @60Minutes, and he seems to get more airtime than anybody since the late, great, Bob Hope. All I ask of Tony is that he make better decisions. He said “no masks & let China in”. Also, Bad arm!

...P.S. Tony should stop wearing the Washington Nationals’ Mask for two reasons. Number one, it is not up to the high standards that he should be exposing. Number two, it keeps reminding me that Tony threw out perhaps the worst first pitch in the history of Baseball!

name drop bob hope, that's the way to get those seniors back onto your team

Ah, yes, it's the old "which candidate would you rather drink a malt with" question. Can Biden's ice cream addiction compete with sudden cravings for a malted milkshake? We'll see when all the votes have been tallied on November, uh, 40th.

he is quite the soda jerk, yes

This asshole just trying to lose now

ony threw out perhaps the worst first pitch in the history of Baseball!

Only because our favorite president has yet to do so, to my eternal chagrin.

Can you imagine the gif, just playing on repeat forever and ever, that sad ball flopping onto the ground three feet in front of him, the front of his slacks slowly darkening with the urine of regret

On tarmac in Phoenix, Trump sounding angry, calling Joe Biden "a criminal" and accusing the press of being criminals for not covering his attacks on Biden.

Fucking losing it

but vague threats have always worked well for him in the past

"good luck and have a good time"

its amazing that none of this shit affects his standing at all. 46% of America is hooting and hollering as he disparages our top doctors and rails against freedom of speech

To the extent that it doesn't become dangerous (which isn't unlikely), his increasingly-unhinged desperation will be quite beautiful to behold.

xpost They were literally chanting 'WE LOVE YOU!' in some rally clip I saw this morning.

Remember when 3 Doors Down played his inauguration?

Every now and then I remember that even in the event of a humiliating defeat, for the rest of his years Donald Trump will have
secret service protection, travel privileges, (military) health care, a lifetime salary of $200,000, plus 100K annually for office expenses....

I can't even be mad at the idea of a secret service detail flanking him on his daily travel from his cell to the showerblock to the mess hall

the Presidential shiv

This guy will never, ever face a consequence and will die of old age in comfort, a perfect metaphor for the society that America has allowed to flourish.

You know, Biden wants, listen, Biden wants you and your loved ones to not die prematurely. Sad!

It's a winning strategy for the votes.

You know what I miss? Hamberders.

"I call the head of Exxon. I'll use a company. 'How, how are you doing, how's energy coming? When are doing the exploration? Oh, you need a couple of permits, huh?' But I call the head of Exxon, I say, 'you know, I'd love you to send me $25m for the campaign'" - Trump #QuidProQuo pic.twitter.com/Tr1ccpyMzw

i mean, that is how it works

after trump is gone, we need to revisit the issue of campaign finance. and pack the court so we can overturn citizens' united.

well yeah

Trump is always referring to "the disaster known as Obamacare." If Biden wins, he should rename it "The Disaster Formerly Known as Obamacare" in the first few months of his term, then drop that for a mysterious symbol.

he should rename it trumpcare, just for the lols

he should change it up a little and call it Medicare for All

he should eat shit slowly

“Oh, I don’t know,” Trump replied. “Look, he’s an expert. He’s one of the experts of the world.”

i’m afraid to say there are some Trump phrases that almost make you wriggle with pleasure.

from this long dive into white house covid chaos in the WaPo.

to balance what might be seen as unseemly amusement, i thought the most telling quote in the piece was this:

Trump and many of his advisers have come to believe that the key to a revived economy and a return to normalcy is a vaccine.
“They’ve given up on everything else,” said a senior administration official involved in the pandemic response. “It’s too hard of a slog.”

Yes, good stuff, Fizzles. In the UK we've been alternating between grim workaholics and lazy offhand poshos for some time: Brown/ Cameron/ May/ Johnson. I'm not saying one is necessarily a reaction to the other but I do wonder sometimes.

This is the same guy, rant on Scooby Doo:

huge ghostbusters energy

That lightning storm last night (and I mean freaking ALL last night) was something else. Had no idea it was some deity or other attempting to destroy Trump's shitty building but I support the effort.

Oh for FUCK'S sake, the writers are going way overboard on heavy-handed metaphors this season.

It's not a metaphor.

i've been flipping that building off for 4 years now, glad to see that my negative energy is starting to translate

like they added a little Sam Waterston DNA

so either a cake or for ballistics tests i guess?

one of the few human beings who looks more human as a cake than as himself

TRUMP: I would eat me.

Are there still Melania truthers out there?
