“I’m proud to officially name the undispuut...” Trump said, before muttering unintelligible gibberish for about two seconds.

“Trump, slurring: I’m proud to officially name the...undishpu...the...jshhhh...whendidthiscomeout,” wrote the Headquarters account, which is operated by Harris’ team.

Dear Donald Trump,

Please perish of natural causes at your earliest convenience. Signed,

Everyone

With extreme pain and suffering, if possible. Please and thank you.

My friends MILs last conscious experience was screaming for her deceased parents in the hospital while vomiting and shitting blood (cancer).

By all accounts she was a wonderful human. I hope Don the Diddler experiences this and much, much more.

This has been your reminder to vote for candidates who support voluntary euthanasia. Otherwise this might be you, or your loved ones.

[-] Smuckles@piefed.ca 2 points 1 week ago

My grandfather went out via MAID and I'm proud that he had the choice to go out with dignity.

I'm not sure of that MILs politics but I am sure at that moment she'd have understood the necessity of the program.

Ok, I won't. The president passing changes nothing, the party is doing all of these things, this is all longstanding goals of theirs, the president just hijacked it, and has since lost his marbles and they are holding his hand. They still plan on stealing elections, and are in a position to do it now, there is no one to stop them, and the opposition to them is still run by unpopular sold out corporatist hacks that can't reliably win a fair election, let alone rigged ones. We are FUCKED.

We could take it back in the succession fight, but we won't because we allowed the people that brought us Hillary, Biden, and Kamala to remain in control of the party, soon to force aristocrat newsome on us. It's fucking pathetic we still listen to these ivy league hacks, and trust them, but that's where we are at, with leaders that see popular reform as the enemy, not the fascists seeking to rig elections.

Oh gaw...and 'muricans voted for this because they were afraid this would happen to Joe?

[-] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 week ago

I don’t think that’s why most voted for him. I think it was the other things.

[-] atropa@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

They just want a daily dtrump show, 

[-] cabbage@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

Not to mention the re-normalization of rape culture. And to get rid of the fucking foreigners stealing all those lucrative jobs picking fruit or whatever. And to protect the god-given right of schoolchildren to blast each other's brains out.

There's all kinds of reasons really! We shouldn't be so quick to judge.

Meh, after watching the clip, I wouldn't even say it was bad. Just false hope in a click-baity title. I wouldn't call it as much as a slur as a memory lapse of what he was supposed to be talking about. Started reading and basically said oh shit is this real?

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

A memory lapse makes you forget the word, not slur something unintelligible. He went back to normal quickly, but something happened.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, Americans have been well aware of this all along, but 'Mericans (Y'allqueda) have been gaslighting endlessly saying he's totally fine.

All of these idiots just do what the TV tells them.

Sorry to disappoint anyone who hasn't watched the video yet, but it doesn't look anything like what's being implied by the description given by the Daily Beast or by Harris' team. They make it sound like he had a mini stroke on stage or something, when it looks more like he was reading off a written speech someone made for him and tripped over a sentence that took him mildly by surprise. If anything it looks like the same Trump interrupting himself mid-sentence that we've seen for decades.

It's not a great moment in speechmaking history, and it would be nice if he did step down for health reasons, but I didn't see anything there that I haven't seen hundreds of perfectly healthy people do when reading from a card.

[-] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Beat me to it. He stumbled over a word. This is not news.

[-] dogdeanafternoon@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

I didn’t even watch the video, but from the text in the post it seemed likely that this is overblown.

Dammit people stop getting my hopes up.

Post this as a meme. It's perfect. The finest version of this image.

[-] becausechemistry@piefed.social 27 points 1 week ago

I am once again begging people not to post a headline that starts with “Trump, 79,” that doesn’t end with. Well. You know.

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Just give him a few hamberders and a couple Red Bull to wash it down with. He'll be all good.

"Sparks" implies that he has not been exhibiting health related issues (I refuse to call them "concerns") for over a year now.

[-] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 week ago

Remember when they went all over Hillary for acting like having a stroke? That was 10 years ago. And she is still alive.

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I mean, Trump was acting like he had a stroke 10 years ago too, and he's also still alive.

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I hope him and Biden suffer the most possible

[-] EriktheRed@piefed.ca 7 points 1 week ago

“Concerns” is absolutely not the correct term to be using. “Hopes” would be much better.

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

While different today, slurring while speaking was a great Canadian political tradition. They were all drunk.

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 4 points 1 week ago

Have they started to point that DEW they used on Biden and Kamala, on Trump now too?

All the better to feign incompetence with.

As was introduced to me (not sure if identical in USA), breaches of duty of care law fall under three categories: incompetence (not illegal, though you should lose your job), negligence (can be illegal), intentional (always illegal). So you can see why they try so hard to appear incompetent when they're breaching their duty of care for us each and all. Lets them get away with murder.

[-] Wilco@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Nah. That is just dumbass Trump and how he talks.
