Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

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?

Is this really Melania? Nose, jawline, and smile aren't the same as the real one. pic.twitter.com/zcb5PIkRJY

Looks like her

yes. me. I think that's a different person.

you absolutely can't conclude anything from a single low-res digital image taken in motion from one angle, AND also that doesn't look like her

Also, the b00ps are much smaller than Melania and the teeth are different.

also: why would a fake melania be there

Real Melania is in hiding preparing to turn state's evidence against him.

Melania doesn't smile wide with teeth like that. Though I guess to be fair, she's always so made up I imagine it doesn't take much (or less) to make her look like someone else.

Maybe he ate Melania?

I am embarrassed to agree with this or really have any opinion at all on it but yeah that just doesn't look like her?

Dud

Probably just the pilot's fashionista wife.

I care whether they're using a Melania stunt double about as much as I care that Donald used to call reporters claiming to be his own publicist. Believable, sure. In character, yes. Does it matter in terms of whether or not he's a piece of shit? Eh, not really.

It may turn out that there's a stunt Melania. It may turn out that there isn't, and it's just a weird angle or lighting or whatever.

If we press the line that it's the former, and it was the latter, then we look stupid and delusional. It's bait. If we just shake our heads at how fucked up that whole family and scene is, that's low stakes and has the advantage of being obviously true.

I think it’s just a weird angle. It still looks kind of like her:

i'm with YMP, i just dgaf, and bummed seeing my friends posting the shit

Soon the trumps will be gone

with brown underwear as their only take home gift

dud

I mean, you all know that most heads of state and presidents have doubles, right? I don't care, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility

How long after he loses before she serves divorce papers? Maybe he gets to keep the shadow warrior, who knows.

She was supposed to divorce him in 2016 after he lost the election, then disaster struck. Trumps now banging Hope Hicks is the rumor.

I mean, you all know that most heads of state and presidents have doubles, right? I don't care, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility

I was just about to say, is it really that common? Why would any of them have doubles? If they were in two places at once that would be a giveaway, and if you're making a public appearance that means close up work, which could be a giveaway, too. I think the only reason dictators had/have doubles is in case someone tries to kill them, which is not as much of a concern here.

A double of Boris Johnson, can you imagine?

Give it a few years
