We saw what he'll do during the Obama ape post. Blame a few staffers, not by name. Then say he's not sorry and move on. I doubt the upset Christians will remember this or care in a week, two weeks.

oh, I forgot about that-- ~~it was a long time ago.~~ edit: sorry, the past few months have felt like a decade!

still:

  • that was twitter (not even X yet), not his own platform
  • he was much more adroit then. he's much more old grandpa crazy now
    • he won't say he's sorry, he'll double-down, if he acknowledges it at all
      • if he goes the double-down route, which is possible because I don't think this Pope-fight bullshit is going away (yay!), who knows what downhill direction the diarrhea will run
  • this Pope-fight isn't just affecting Trump, now his "Christian" base is getting involved, and not on Trump's side

so, this is gonna be fun to watch

ok, so, it has been fun to watch! His response...

Trump gets McDonalds DoorDashed to White House and then takes Iran war questions with delivery person

so, he admits to posting it because he claims he thought he "looked like a doctor healing people" which either makes him seem to be the biggest liar ever or the most completely bonkers person ever, and, really, it's not an either/or situation anymore but a matter of "which is more the case" at this point.

more to come...

it was a long time ago

It happened again two months ago. Although based on your X comments I'm betting you missed it.

I'm sorry, he was adroit a few months ago? Did I miss this?

[-] homes@piefed.world 4 points 1 day ago

He lives by the narcissist's prayer 🙏

Yup. They believe what they want to hear. A few repeats of the "fake news! doctored images! liberal media persecution!" mantra from their lord and savior, and their outage will be redirected onto 'the left', and any internal conflicts they have will fade into numbness and blind adulation.

He actually took credit today and said he was clearly a red cross doctor.

Who knows what he will say tonight, though, as he shits uncontrollably onto his phone and it interprets the daya and sends it to truth social.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
