Had this been Biden, Fox and co. would be railing, raving, gesticulating for days about being too-old and unfit to serve.

But it's still interesting that this other old presidential contender is fumbling his words. Might be stress as much as age. He's gotta be concerned about his future with all this.

Typical guilty shitheel tactic: play the "old and frail" card for sympathy points, just like how Harvey Weinstein busted out the walker for photo ops. He's still a rapist and Trump is still a traitor (and probably also a rapist).

There's no probably. If New York's rape laws weren't so archaic and specific, he would've been found guilty of rape.

Damn are they being updated at least?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The people that update the laws will never put themselves in danger by being effected by them

"I am Biden laptop, Crime Family and I have the best age, everyone agrees my age is the best around."

I can't stand Trump, but to be fair, I've struggled with both of those questions before

[–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, this doesn't sound like a Trump good or Trump bad thing. It just sounds like he was having anxiety, as he should have been.

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

I hope he's suffering as much as he's made the rest of us.

[–] atyaz@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

Just seems weird because he seemed untouchable before

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah Trump is scared. As he should be.

[–] InternetUser2012@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I hope he has many sleepless nights and when he does fall asleep that he wakes up five minutes later in a cold sweat. Fuck that guy.

US Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya then asked the former president to state his full name. “Donald J Trump — John — Donald John Trump,” Mr Trump replied hesitantly. He was then asked for his date of birth, and tripped over his words again. At first, he said “seven seven,” before correcting himself and saying “77”.

Saved you all a click, there's no recording of it just this text account of it

Took him a while to recall the actual truth rather than the bullshitting he does on his golf course.

We need to get rid of the bags of skin and bones on BOTH sides of the isle. Then we need to make some new isles, becuase the current isle is clearly for depends and hospice care items.

[–] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

FYI it's aisle.

gahhh thank you. that was a legit misspelling. i think the others were sloppy phone input, but i have no excuse for that one.

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Also, it's "because" and "Depends", but yeah.

I mean damn, I wasn't trying to be the guy's editor, I just saw a teaching moment for everyone.

~~Woosh~~

[–] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How was I wooshed?

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think you were.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I whoosh a mutha would.

[–] SIGSEGV@waveform.social 1 points 1 year ago

On a second reading of the comment, I realized you weren't. My bad, dude.
