Summary

Trump’s nonstop talking is overwhelming White House stenographers, with over 81,000 words spoken in his first week—more than triple Biden’s record.

His relentless public presence drowns out opposition and dictates news cycles.

His remarks, often filled with falsehoods, cover a wide range of topics, from policy to wild conspiracy claims.

While some see it as transparency, others worry about misinformation and public fatigue.

His strategy keeps critics off balance but risks exhausting the public, potentially wearing out his welcome.

He's a Gish gallop personified.

between this and the buyout Im wondering if they will be able to keep those stenographers.

One little blood clot to the brain. That’s all I ask. I mean - given his overall mass vs. the size of his shriveled brain, it’s like hoping for a pebble to clog Niagara Falls, but hope is all I’ve got. One little stroke. Please.

I'm still hoping for the Revenge of Zachary Taylor.

Unfortunately he gets all of the top-tier healthcare that's denied to other Americans. Since prison is apparently out of the question I'm praying that they let Musk build the new Air Force One and then the inevitable happens..

Sub force one? I hear musk was building a submarine (to save kids), and I really really trust billionaires riding submarines built by billionaires.

If trump ever needs heart surgery I hope his surgeon is Hidetoshi Hasagawa - formerly the number one heart surgeon in Japan.

Is it really a strategy when that’s just how he is? And it’s all misinformation when he speaks about everything without having a shred of intelligence about anything.

It’s Steve Bannon’s “flood the zone with shit” strategy.

[-] Lexam@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

That's probably the uppers they have to keep him on.

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!
