People are saying that donald has aphasia, he can't pronounce certain words, due to either old age or disease (syphilis). It's sad that the republicans have no one else to run for president. I'm hearing that he should step down as a candidate and get the help he needs.

Maybe hes caught RFKs brain worms

[-] prole 34 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Maybe all conservatives have brain worms (could explain the powerful subconscious pull towards deworming medication).

[-] spaghetti_hitchens@kbin.run 12 points 1 month ago

They're the secret gift RFK was giving us all along. What a patriot.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Well this sounds familiar, if only the name donald was replaced with some other presidential candidate.

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 80 points 1 month ago

Thing is, he already had the racist vote locked up. This hurts his prospects, which is fantastic.

[-] worldwidewave@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

At every opportunity to pivot and try to garner more of the undecided swing voters, he balks and throws red meat to the base.

That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for 'em

[-] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 60 points 1 month ago

To be fair, it probably doesn't matter whether he can say "Kamala" since he'll mainly be saying "President Harris" in the future.

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago

Don-OLD Drumph it is, then.

Tromp

I hate this man, and that's not a word I take lightly or use regularly, but damn if I'm not happy he at least didn't say "I could care less"

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago

I haven't watched the clip, and won't, but I wouldn't be so sure the transcript is accurate. During the "Christians won't have to vote" thing there is debate that he either said he is Christian or he isn't. His speech is so poor journalists have to fill in a lot of words and often (inaccurately) correct what he said to be proper English.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

I don't care if his VP pick actually fucked a couch either.

[-] PurpleTentacle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

He certainly feels like the couch-fucking type.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

I'll take your word for it. I don't want to feel him.

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

Drumpf is back on the menu boys

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Oh good, I was worried that the left was going to make a unified effort to defeat Fascism. Happy to see we're devolving right back to petulant baby talk like always.

Also, as someone with a lot of German family, I was never a big fan of this specific insult, because it relies on associating German surnames of any kind with Nazism, which I get it, we did a lot of awful shit, but can we just please have German names without you forcing that connection?

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

“Waaa my dear leader used the wrong name and refused to ever pronounce it correctly but others are now using the wrong name waaaaa”

Who brought up any german name and related to nazism?

You are the first to mention it in this chain. I did not imply a single thing about nazism. I just used his german surname. If thats “nazism” to you, perhaps look at yourself instead

edit

heres an extra source for you. Drumpf to Trump was changed by his ancestors well before the nazis and wasnt even in germany. So, where are you pulling the nazi connections from? 🤔

That's a fair stance for someone senile with speech impediments

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 month ago

I'm so impressed he knows it's couldn't care less, rather than could care less.

My level of respect for him has not increased though

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

His comprehension of idioms really is something I could care less about.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

But he's doing it on purpose. That means he does care, and he thinks it's funny.

[-] rickdg@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Tronald Dump so funny

Evil old bully doesn’t care if he’s being a bully.

Toddler President strikes again

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago

Hey Donal, try pronouncing it this way:

"Madame President"

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

If he called her madame, he’d instinctually open his mouth waiting for the stream.

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Ok, Damn Old Tramp

[-] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Fondled rump

[-] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Whatever you say, Mr. Babyhands

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

So it ranks right up there with not caring about anything else that doesn't get you some attention. At least you're consistent.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

Typical drumpf

[-] spaghetti_hitchens@kbin.run 4 points 1 month ago
