Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

You'll want to wash it in between both sides.

It's NOT FOR ME(N) though.

You just have to be more gentle next time. Sex Obama is delicate.

Melania asked for Sex Obama, and look where that got us...

Note: Diet Coke is NOT an effective lubricant.

xpost things that you were shockingly old when you learned?

The attempts by Trump's team to come back from deplatforming are objectively not going well. People are not engaging with the posts. Deplatforming works. pic.twitter.com/Yj9PgzM6BF

They should try defenestration next.

Surprised at the zero pins. Surely neo-fascist crafters are a thing.

lmao at the fact that this "ultimate free speech" platform does not allow you to interact with his posts at all

"Engagements" is throwing me--not marriage proposals, I hope.

Is he ... is he aware that Medina Spirit is a horse? pic.twitter.com/K5SImeNgpL

Angry sore loser hollers into the void

So glad Twitter deplatformed him just so people like Rupar can just smear his feces all over the platform anyway.

Ehh i think it’s fine when he says something completely insane and idiotic like this

it's also one thing he's said in five months of mostly being silent

due to deplatforming.

yeah, and trump's audience and rupar's don't exactly have the biggest overlap xp

it's also one thing he's said in five months of mostly being silent

"Junky horses, ruining the country..."

tbh the owner saying the horse was a victim of "cancel culture" and then Trump calling the horse a "junky" is objectively hilarious, I'm sorry

Get this jokey off my back

The whole world is laughing at us regarding our Kentucky Derby policies?

the world is always laughing at us about something. That's why we bomb it.

Eh, Rupar is just the latest example though. It's not egregious, no, but there were a few of those Trump obsessed liberal dudes that tweet 400 times an hour that had been breathlessly repeating even those weird statements he issued from Mar-A-Lago.

I guess it's less Rupar's specific instance here than it is a fear that this is just the tip of the iceberg. It's not like Trump is going to stop saying stupid, insane shit and I could live perfectly fine without the, "hey you guys just gotta check out what he said now!" shit.

I was going to vociferously agree with jon and then I realized we were both making this stand on a thread called "Donald Trump: Classic Or Dud?" and realized that maybe there were some complicity factors on our parts that were helping to ruin our day

lol

more like Aaron Pupar amirite

I was wondering what more might be happening Weisselberg-wise and it turns out

The CEO of my old company once arranged to pay for a lavish dinner for my wife and I while we were on vacation - at a place I didn't really want to eat. I found the whole thing showy and annoying (meal and experience of it being comped).

When I got back, our CFO told me I owed taxes on the dinner because it was compensation.

classy

NEW: NY AG’s office tells CNN — “We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature. We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA.”

As my brother said just earlier today, "it's like he's a mafia figure."

Surely Ol' Donny Trump won't be able to wriggle his way put of THIS jam!

I only care about this insofar as it might prevent him from running in 2024. I don’t want the country to go through another season of that show.

I'm sure most Canadians would have found this headline as disconcerting as I did:

Happily, "north" = Bedminster, New Jersey.

Over the weekend, Trump finished well enough in a members' tournament to nab a trophy, said one of the members.

"Give the fat fuck another trophy or we'll never hear the end of it."

not one to do the "i read somewhere..." thing w this clown, but did anyone else see where ppl thought he was going to tough it out in florida bc desantis has some sort of override wrt NYS/non-FLA-issued subpoenas?

I remember ppl speculating that. i never really bought it myself - i dont think hes concerned about the investigations at all

I don't think he's concerned about *anything* at all.

I think he understands - at some sub-ganglionic level - that the more prosecuted he is, the more persecuted he can paint himself. And that always plays well with the MAGAhats. "See? SEE? The corrupt swamp keeps coming after me because I pose a threat to them!"

Given that there will almost certainly never be consequences for his behavior (see Access Hollywood, Impeachment One, and Impeachment Two: Electoral Boogaloo), why should he behave any differently?

Investigations and lawsuits have always been in the offing and have never delivered, but they're great fodder for grift - the more investigations there are, the more fundraising appeals he can make to his followers. Plenty of Cletuses out there eager to sell a kidney so they can donate to the Trump Legal Defense Fund. Own the libs!

Again, MAGAnauts are more likely to be a Chad than a Cletus, fwiw.

ok Chadney McMaga III

Not picking on you, just tired of the shorthand for his supporters being dumb Southerner types when it's probably more likely to be an upper middle class dude who owns three car dealerships.

The Bocephurati strike again

It’s all kinds of ppl. He was a popular guy.

"was"

Donald Trump was a popular guy and he still is

fair point, jon, thanks for the corrective
