If he doesn't end up as president he can't nullify any of the affects of his legal problems.

[–] JackiesFridge@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The legal problems he brought upon himself? By actively and blatantly criming? Boy that must suck for him.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Ikr? Like, how unfair is it if we don't let him be president to get rid of his consequences.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 14 points 6 days ago

Always double down, never admit fault.

In that way, he's predictable.

Trump is a cum stain on america

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I disagree. Cumstain would imply at least someone had a good time.

[–] arefx@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 days ago

Yeah, the rich.

Narcissistic personality disorder and then dementia is a hot fuckin mess.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Funny to watch though

So the debate was rigged to make you look bad, but you did great at the debate? Which is it?

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 123 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Don't expect internal consistency from the guy who says media can't be trusted and is fake news, but immigrants are eating people's dogs and cats because someone said it on TV.

Kamala stole my ideas on the economy. She's a Marxist. She stole my ideas though.

How it started:

She has no plan. Look at her plan. She has no plan.

How it's going:

I have the concepts of a plan.

If she won the election, the day after that election, go back to destroying our country and oil will be dead. Fossil fuel will be dead. We'll go back to windmills and we'll go back to solar, where they need a whole desert to get some energy to come out. You ever see a solar plant? By the way, I'm a big fan of solar

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (4 children)

What else will you do with a desert? Build cities that will dry up more lakes and rivers? Just cover the whole fucking desert in solar and power the country. The guy is so dense.

Trump is a psychopath that should not be allowed to drive a car let alone a country.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago (5 children)

His presidency, and presence in politics at all beyond the local kook level, is a strong indication that the US is a failed state circling the toilet.

Trump's base never catches on to the endless excuses this man has. 9 years no healthcare plan. Attacking and lasing out and then expect anyone who isn't them to be nice to them and treat them with respect lol.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

why are you lying? he said he has concepts of a plan. that's as good as implementing healthcare in my book.

do you even know how hard that is? he's in the history books for being the first person to discover that healthcare is complicated.

He looked like a doddering old man who didn't know where he was or what he was saying.

They didn't do great, the RNC should be investigated for elder abuse.

Whiny little bitch boy

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago

Last night, to my wife: "He's going to claim ABC was rigged against him and that the debate moderators were slanted against him"

This morning:

So predictable.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 31 points 1 week ago

"Rigged" is a consistent word he uses when he doesn't get his way. Let's not forget that what he says is also a projection, so he's totally going to try and "rig" the election where he can to give himself any advantages. And then on a loss will throw anything he can at the system to claim once again that he was cheated.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

The second the moderators fact checked him I told my wife, he's going to say it's rigged and it was a conspiracy between ABC and the Democrats. It was really awesome to him flounder when they did that. Just a flat, "There is no state in which it's legal to kill a baby. And now to Harris"

[–] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (6 children)

The minute Trump sells even a single one of his stocks, it's over. The price will be $0 in minutes. The only ones that are left are the ones that are betting that he'll win in November and send the stocks soaring. If Trump even signals that he's looking to cash out, the investors will trample over his fat ass to make sure they get out before he does.

I love that his campaign kept complaining about Harris not getting fact checked as hard.

Harris definitely spun a few things, but she wasn’t throwing out crazy ass lies like eating pets and throwing out newborn babies.
