Ex-president quickly broke away from prepared speech to accuse vice-president of being a communist and a fascist

“They’ll say he was rambling. I don’t ramble. I’m a really smart guy, you know, really smart. I don’t ramble. But the other day, anytime I hit too hard, they say he was rambling, rambling,” he said.

The only “policy” weird felon trump can talk about is “personal attacks on the opponent”.

He stands for nothing but filling his pockets by grifting from his supporters.

Cult behaviour

the communist thing is so tiring. all my opponets are communists. The constant projectiong is tiring as well.

He doesn't have anything. He just applies the same attacks to a new person. Probably why he keeps confusing g who he is talking about.

There was a recent segment on the Daily show discussing exactly this. They even showed a several minute clip showing him using the exact same attacks he's been using for the past 10 years, word for word, except just changing the names to whoever he's attacking at that moment.

We have seen everything he has to offer. There's nothing new at this point. All he has is attack, attack, attack. And even then, there's only a small number of attacks he uses. He just repeats them over and over ad nauseum and switches out the names as necessary. Sometimes, he even gets the names right. Sometimes. None of that is even hyperbole or exaggeration. He literally has no new material.

Like the post said the other day, "paying attention is infuriating and exhausting, but not paying attention seems irresponsible"

wow that does sum it up well. I mean you know your at the 7/11 and some guy is talking crazy to himself and you just ignore, get your stuff, and leave. I would love to be able to ignore this guy but like some people for some reason want him running the country.

It’s been a while, and it was just an elective class, but I remember the the poli sci professor was adamant that communism and fascism were opposing philosophies, socialism even more so.

And yet she gets accused of being all of the above.

That’s what narcissists do. They project. Cluster B is a real dick that way.

One aims to enact a state-enforced rigid hierarchy based on ethnicity, ability, religion, and/or sexual/gender characteristics and make sure one of those groups stays on top with no regard for the rights of the others. The other one (in theory) seeks to abolish all those hierarchies and even the state itself and put everybody on equal footing. Of course they'd be opposed.

ain't see one communist policy passed so guess they ain't so threatening

It was tiring in 2004 when Kerry was called one and in 2008 when Obama was called one.

More beautiful, doesn't ramble.

Just produced a fresh one in the diaper.

He looks really puffy and hungover for a guy who doesn't drink.

This is what diet coke and a big mac will do… SuperSize Me 2.0: the bigliest, now with less covfefe.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

He looks so pained in this photo. Is this the moment where he heard that Harris and Walz had referred to him as 'weird'? Where his fragile ego shattered (yet again)?

"I don't ramble," doddering septuagenarian insists while rambling

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

He just seems so lost without Biden to attack. It's beautiful.

Perfect pull quote, @piefedderatedd@piefed.social, no notes…
