    I can’t understand how stupid someone needs to be to listen to this drivel and think “Wow, this guy is a leader! Not just any leader either, the only leader for me!”.

      The crazy thing is that you don’t need to cherry pick quotes or take them out of context to make him look like an idiot.

      Listen to pretty much any interview or speech and he says something that is clearly idiotic, evil, or a blatant lie. Most likely all three… Repeatedly.

      I get that Fox News is a hell of a drug, but just hearing this dipshit speak should shatter the illusion. The unwavering support is mind boggling.

        Everything about him is like that. They claim he’s strong and full of vitality too. All you have to do is watch him walking, or drinking water, and you can clearly see that he’s a weakling.

              It worked for me lol.

              It’s the one where he’s leaned forward really far (bent at the waist with his butt out) talking into a bunch of mics. Likely to keep his suit from having unflattering lines in the front.

            That article made me kinda sad at the end. They start talking about things like “false intimacy displayed through patting shoulders, touching backs etc.”

            No wonder so many people don’t like to be fucking touched, and then grow to be touch starved. These fucking ghouls have been abusing it.

        Its not him directly. Most of them have only seen him through multiple filters. They are worshipping their golden calf at this point.

      At least the hardcore Christians seem to see him more as a vessel or tool. God’s tool doesn’t have to be perfect and in typical Bible reverse 4D backwards logic, being imperfect even shows how much of a chosen one he is. I forgot the name, but there’s actually a precedent in the Bible itself.

      So they acknowledge that he is the antithesis to anything they claim to believe in, but they also think that he somehow will bring God’s will or something.

        He fits every description of the antichrist given in the Bible. They’ve warned about the antichrist for 2000 years, and then when he finally shows up they worship him. It’s wack, yo!

          The weirdest brainworm is he advocates for Christian values in government when he isn’t even a Christian. Apparently it’s just “American” to him.

          It hurts that he’s a real human being and he always votes.

    The dumb thing is, I can kinda understand what the speech writer wanted to say and autoprompted to him. But his fried mind couldn’t understand it and because he’s so vain he won’t wear glasses even though he needs them so he can’t even read the autoprompter half the time.

          During Trump and the Pandemic, all the behaviors and statements from everyone, exposing the sheer amount of stupidity around us, was a little you much for me tbh. I felt safer in this world, before knowing that stupid rules.

        Well, I mean - that’s a pretty misleading figure, tbh. It’s true that around that percentage of Americans as a whole voted for him, but “Americans as a whole” includes a whole bunch of people who are not eligible to vote. Like, people under 18. Or people who have felonies and cannot exercise their voting rights. The eligible voting population in 2020 (according to the US census bureau) was 231.6 million. As Trump received 74,223,975 votes in 2020, that represents about 32% of the population. Of course, 231.6 million people didn’t vote in 2020. Only about 168.3 million were registered to vote, and only about 154.6 million actually voted. So if you look at the percentage of people who were willing to vote who preferred Donald Trump, that’s a staggering 48%. What’s depressing is that if you tally up the people who didn’t vote (either because they weren’t registered to vote, or they were registered and decided not to), you get about 77 million voters - more people than actually voted for Trump, or about 33% of the total eligible voting population.

        So what’s probably most accurate is to say that America is roughly divided into thirds: those who think Donald Trump is swell, those who don’t, and those who couldn’t give a shit either way.

          It’s not a misleading figure as the original commenter said 40% of the population, not 40% of eligible voters

            “Population” could also mean “Eligible voting population”, not just “total population”. Both contexts work.

      Media isn’t reporting his obvious dementia. They call the nonsense he spouts “rambling speeches.”

      Some other recent examples:

      “We can’t have an election in the middle of a political season. We just had Super Tuesday. And we had a Tuesday after Tuesday already.”

      "Gang boong. This is me. I hear bing.”

      " I could tell you about aircraft carriers, where they use electric catapults. They couldn’t go to the steam, which works better for about 1/100th the price, you know? The electric catapult, you know that story? I could tell you about the elevators on a tremendous carrier, the Gerald Ford, and they decided not to use hydraulic like the John Deere tractor, they decided to use magnets, ‘we’re gonna use magnets!’ to lift up the elevators with seven planes.”

        That was significantly more hinged than the meme. He probably set a record for the pace of lies or misleading statements, but he had a coherent message: windmills not made in US, manufacturing them releases fumes, they kill birds, having them nearby decreases home values, etc

            Also, wind turbines (I assume that is what he meant, unless he has a problem with using wind to turn grain into flour) not being made here is a bunk argument anyway.

            First off…General Electric.

            Second off, the reason why there are so many manufactures in China is because China is investing and deploying wind at a crazy rate. The only thing Trump did with wind was break it.

            They can really be manufactured just about anywhere, right? What’s happening is business (and jobs!) are being created to meet a demand. Not the other way around.

            That kind of demand can only really come from the stroke of a pen. Particularly his (or rather, the presidents) pen (after passing house and Senate, of course).

            You know what’s cool about domestic manufactured and implementation of wind energy? Energy independence.

            Also I’d bet dollars to donuts that GHG per KW, cradle to grave, for a wind turbine, are orders of magnitude lower than a coal or natural gas plant. And I’d wager the same for bird deaths and home values. Basically all of these are objectively better with wind.
